Hello
Just wanted to comment on the amazing sound thats in this game. If you are using mb sound I highly suggest you get a Soundblaster Z and some good speakers. I have the Z and a Kipsch 4.1 setup, yeah its old but they are great speakers.
Just to give you an example, I found a hickory log underneath a bridge and when I went to chop it, it echoed exactly how it would happen in an area like that, pretty impressive...

Sarenia✭✭✭✭✭Agreed. The audio on ESO is definitely the most overall impressive I've heard in a multiplayer game.
Lots of nice ambient touches, like hearing combat in a nearby room through a door, or building through the wall.Edited by Sarenia on May 1, 2014 1:45PM[beta_group_85b_9]0 -

✭Fully orchestrated scores ftw... and many harkening back to the wonderful scores of previous games. So beautiful music that pushes a nostalgia button. Mmm... Edited by BlackSparrow on May 1, 2014 1:46PMLiving vicariously through my characters.
My Girls:"If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"
Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

✭✭✭✭I have to agree it os fantastic. There are a couple mouthy mobs i get tired of, but the sound for almost everything is perfect.0 -
Zakua✭✭✭Yes, the sounds in game are very well put together! Everything from the ambient environment sounds to the hectic hack n slash of combat is awesome IMO.

✭✭✭The sounds are great and I use a pair of headphones with I don't really know what soundboard. There are some sound triggering problems though which can get really annoying. Ranser! ,I want to buy that hero an ale.

Shimond✭✭✭✭I do love the overall ambiance, but I also will get places where it just cuts out for some reason (randomly it appears, and not ALL sound either). Not sure if it's a driver thing or on their end. I've been assuming on their end.0 -
RianaTheBosmer✭✭✭I have surround sound and the forest in Grahtwood is amazing. Love it. The sound effects, music. It's all good to me.1

Yankee✭✭✭✭the sound is very good. Makes me want to duck when it is raining and the crack of lightning goes off.0

RianaTheBosmer✭✭✭Oh my gosh, the lightning is phenomenal! Yesterday, I found my character running to hide under something when it started raining and then the lightning came, I literally jumped lol.Edited by RianaTheBosmer on May 1, 2014 3:32PM1

Indeed, Best game score since Lineage 2, a perfect match for the game. Kudos to the composer(s) and musicians involved.0
