Please let us turn off combat music.

This is the sole reason why I muted in game music. I want to hear the explore music but that stupid combat music just hogs its way into every little situation. To make it worse, it lingers for like 30 seconds. I wouldnt mind the combat music if it wasnt just 2 incredibly quiet drums playing over and over. Please let us turn it off, or reduce the duration of it "lingering". Or better yet, give us combat music that fits the situation.
I would take this over ESO combat music any day

I have heard really nice exploration music and it helps with the game, but the combat music is just.... ugh

    I've never noticed.

    In a fight I'm concentrating on fighting, it's only when nothing's happening that I notice the music.

    Although recently I'm finding the exploration music causes Tori Amos's "Yes Anastasia" to play in my head, not complaining, I like that song.

    The music is nothing like in Skyrim and I often find myself muting the music and just playingthe TES 5 music . which is my opinion one of the best in any RPG.

    Whoever let the music in the game obviously didnt listen to this soundtrack.
    Just as cheap as the entire graphic.

    We need a Add On to be able to play over their music with past TES titles or just better really immersive sund.

    reviving this thread out of the blue, but I'd like this too. either an addon or an in-game option would be great.

    Gonna necro this thread (appropriate for the current patch I guess).

    ZoS, please could we get this option, after more than 4 years playing, it is tiring hearing the same combat music after all this time made all the more noticeable when wanting to listen to the Elsweyr soundtrack, tried using an addon but it is buggy and doesn't work fully as intended.

    Would be the best QoL feature since combat cues back in HoTR IMO.

    This is a necro I can get behind. I didn't even realize the DLC's had different music than the main game. I've had it turned off that long because the combat music is so annoying.

    Still relevant in 2019.

    Been asking since the game launched.

    Yes to a "combat music" toggle :blush:
