The soundtrack needs a reworking

Firellight · December 2014

The battle of Fort Virak used to be one of my favourite quests, but when I redid it on another character today, I either got the wrong soundtrack or no soundtrack during the quest. The whole quest was nothing but swords clinging, even the boss battle was mundane.

PvP has the same problem. The soundtrack plays when you enter Cyrodiil, and then comes on at random times during a session. Big battles have no soundtrack, while it comes on when there are no enemies around.

The soundtrack needs to be timed properly, when a player enters an appropriate battle, rather than entering a zone.

I guess now someone will come and say that there are many other more important issues for ZOS to consider, but I agree with you. The timing is all wrong and it ruins the immersion somewhat.

Plus, if I'm not mistaken, Craglorn has the same soundtrack as Cyrodiil, and for me as a PvE player it makes this zone even worse. This is probably only me though, I've never seen anyone complaining, but it does feel weird, and I would be happy if they changed the music in the future.

(BTW the soundtrack was always spot on in Skyrim...remember fights with dragons, or the journey through Sovngarde? Now that felt epic.)

I am sad about the main soundtrack of ESO.
During the Beta, there was such an epic soundtrack. It was similar to the current. But before the game was released, they have changed it a bit and I don't like it since then.

I think ESO has the most beautiful soundtrack, but you're right about their timing. it's like employees, beautiful when they work,...

(don't want to insult anybody ;p)
