Which ESO song has left an impact on you that you keep going back to listen to? (and where)

    The stirring and mystical Morrowind main menu theme, "A Land of War and Poetry":


    Also "Greenheart" for the Greenshade region, the music was one of the reasons I bought Cliffshade...

    Honestly. I wish they brought back the original main menu theme. It's hype as hell still after all these years. Maybe for the 5th anniv

    This is my fav too! When the game was still in beta, I would have the game login screen opened all the time, even when the server was offline for weeks, just to hear this song and feel the hype!

    I assume you started playing TES series with Morrowind?

    I did! Good times. Though I was really young then and did not do much besides travel from town to town. I was scared to go in the caves haha. Mostly watched my brother play!

    The whole Wrothgar soundtrack, especially the one mentioned in the OP.

    Also, the female version of Brave Little Scrib. Best bard song in the whole game.

    Play, play, life's an adventure!

    This makes me feel so nostalgic... goosebumps
    I was surprised and sad after reinstalling this game to find this music was gone.

      Especially the second half, it reminds me of Oblivion. <3

      There's one song I like from Summerset. I don't remember the name but I used it in this video before my gear change

      https://youtu.be/pj3aqDWFbMw

      But this is probably my favorite

      https://youtu.be/H0HZMX8LC78

      And there's a slow version that plays in the overworld that I wish I could remember the name of. I love that too probably just as much. I hear it a lot in High Rock.

      So hard to choose.... tbh I don't really want to put any one higher than any other but..

      Onslaught at the gate
      Weapons drawn
      The three banners fanfare
      Oath of Malacath

      Depending on mood one of those four will edge it.

      @Saturnana I’m in agreement about Greenheart. It is definitely a rework of an Oblvion tune. Hearing it in Khenarthi’s Roost when I started Caldwell’s Silver brought such a nostalgic rush that for several moments I just stared at the screen with a stupid grin while happy tears welled, lol. Another favorite of mine is Yearning for Moonshadow. Coincidentally, it has an Oblvion vibe as well and it reminds me of Auriel’s Ascencion, which is my favorite tune from that game. Sorry for rambling, I just really love Oblivion, lol. 😊

      My better half used to say it was freaky. Obviously I'd let it play for a while :D

      Personally, I like the Coldharbour music, but the name escapes me.

      This.... sort of.... because I've loved the theme ever since starting to play TES. But honestly? I can't choose just one. Not from ESO, and not from any TES game.

      All of the music in TES and ESO just floats my boat/trips my triggers. Serious. I spend a lot of time while reading in the evening, headphoned and listening to music from the games over the years.

      And yeah. Goosebumps, and a catch in my throat - because I'm a total SAP, and I've had so much fun for SO many years with TES.... so I get emotional....

      I love all the music for ESO, and any TES game for that matter. I tend to play a lot of game music in my office including pieces from ESO. The moment I hear any ESO music start to play, I'm wishing I'm at home playing my game. Oblivion music does that to me as well. Ah the nostalgia.

      But I will say one song that I keep playing is the little music box you can buy with crown points that plays Blood and Glory. It's so beautifully done. I love it.

      This song.... and all of its variations (would love if someone could dig them all up and post them here)

      I swear to the Nine Divines I get Major Heroism IRL when this song starts playing! Feels like I could move a mountain :D

      Elder Scrolls music never fails to amaze me...

      There is a song that i do not know that name of and cannot find on the official soundtrack. It plays mostly everywhere, which makes me think its ambient music but has violins and pianos in it.

      For me? Moons of Evening Star https://youtube.com/watch?v=Yg8kWtmM1yY and North from Riften https://youtube.com/watch?v=m9uzddwwlRE, which seems like a continuation of Moons of Evening Star and Recollection of Wars Long Lost.
      Such beautiful and moving pieces.

      Original game music became much much boring after 4+ year. and kinda i allways smiled on music after morrowind and summerset. would be cool to have the switch the main themes between chapters.

      but this recently allways make me happy and forget about every pain.

      https://youtu.be/KLfD3RmY_1s?t=210 (from 3:30)

      but if im just going back to morrowind then this is calming as possible.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p88TFn2ozGU

      But i could just mention the good old nerever rising parts from both chapter main-theme. because HELL. if you could describe the Elder Scrolls with one music. then i would totally choose that. Nerevar Rising. better than some ugly málaka Malukah :|

      I know I already posted some of my favorites before, but I just remembered... one of the songs that decided me to get into ESO when I was still in doubt about buying it or not was this one (it's not from the ESO soundt track, it's Gavin's Miracle Of Sound: To Answer the Call):

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-HyYklN55U

      I still play it from time to time and laugh a bit at the 2014 and earlier beta graphics :lol: But I still think the game was already beautiful back then... but I'm weird, I also think Oblivion is still today a very pretty game :blush:

      This one. Heard it when I played Wrothgar and my god, the cello in this is absolutely gorgeous at 4:00 (whole song is good, but that section is my personal fave).
