Will Greymoor have Skyrim music ?
I loved those otherworldly tunes. "Sky Above, Voice Within" my favorite.
"Is it true her wounds healed on their own ? Yes" No s***, at 75% health regen penalty!

✭✭Why would it have Skyrim music? However lovely it is, it’s a different game.
Look, I know people have this slightly over-the-top adoration of Skyrim, but please stop trying to make ESO become Skyrim Online.
No same music, or storylines, or characters, or guild lines or whatever. I loved Skyrim, but if I want to play it, I go and play it.

Actually, I can hear the refrain of every TES game's music in every TES game. And also in ESO. That's the most marvelous thing really - all the games are connected by the music....1 -
I wouldn't like to have the same music from Skyrim, but I want to hear some of the main themes in a different manner. Those Gregorian chants gave Skyrim music quite a measure of majesty, especially for those moments alone in the mountains."Is it true her wounds healed on their own ?

Except this Chapter is actually within Skyrim, so to wonder if some Skyrim music would be used there is completely acceptable and is in no way asking for ESO to be Skyrim online. It's been 6 years, I think most of the major playerbase understands this. It doesn't mean it's not exciting to revisit old areas and experience a taste of the memorable moments we had with that game, in a new light. ZOS made it extremely clear that they never wanted to rehash the zone and they took the opportunity with the 2nd Era to put their own spin on things. It's pretty awesome that they decided to make over half the "overland" underground.
Skyrim wasn't as good as many people remember anyway and thats coming from someone that loved it. It didn't age very well and there are many downgrades vs the love and care that went into Oblivion that was lost with Skryim. Skyrim was the decent into mediocrity for Bethesda. Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 highlights this even further. It's a fun game, but at it's core, it's a very shallow and broken mess of an RPG. I swear they used 4 voice actors for the whole thing.
That being said, ESO was 100% designed with the intention of copying the success of Skyrim at least in the early days of the game, so you can't blame people for that notion. Just look at the UI and the menu's. They're clearly ripped off from early stages of developement on Skyrim (released during the production process of ESO).Edited by MashmalloMan on February 10, 2020 3:06AM4 -

There's just a small tidbit here however;
Even with the setting taking place roughly a thousand years before Skyrim, there's bound to be some overlap whether we like it or not. Morrowind's chapter has characters you see in both TES III and TES V (not one or the other). It's not so different when there's common similarities already stated in the stream and other possibilities (some aren't confirmed yet)- Most notable are the Blood Scions/Vampire Lords.
- Falmer.
- A war happening in the background (East and West), similar to TES V's (also needs more info)
- Similar architecture, even some buildings will most likely remain the same on the outside.
- A possibility we see the Companions being that they've been there since the days of Ysgramor as the first era predates this still. (Not confirmed to be in to my knowledge, but more than reasonably possible)
- The College of Winterhold will most likely be there since Serana herself said that it was standing when she was entombed between the Reman and Septim empires. (Not confirmed to be in to my knowledge, but again, more than reasonably possible).
Despite that it may be a different 'game', so was Morrowind and so was Oblivion. Their scores are remixed within a lot of the tracks we hear, therefore it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for ZoS to do this as it's not so very different in the context of all things TES.1 -

Yeah, that's the one, has Watchman's Ease in it.
After all, since Morrowind soundtrack actually had Morrowind music in it, it's logical for Greymoor to have some Skyrim."Is it true her wounds healed on their own ? Yes" No s***, at 75% health regen penalty!

✭✭✭✭Given ESO is a millennium earlier than Skyrim I would be astonished if it featured the same music. (Not to mention appalled because I really don’t want to go ‘back to Skyrim’ in an idiotfanboi way). Just consider this, Greensleeves was written/popularised around 600 years ago and barely shares any similarities with current pop music. So any music in Greymoor will be just as disparate.
However, if they do it right you might just hear faint precursors of some of the music in Skyrim. It might be just the instrumentation, or the scale or key of the music. Or just a similarity of theme. But when you catch it you’ll just have a sense that ‘this is right’.
I do agree that one thing that makes ESO so fantastic is the outstanding music, so whatever they do, I’m sure it will be great.0 -

✭✭I hope it does feature some old favourites.
The music of Elder Scrolls is perhaps the strongest element of the franchise, as far as production value goes.
While the games may become outdated and perhaps even impossible to play as time goes on, the music is timeless and I will be listening to the OST for the rest of my life.In-game username: Un1korn | Happy member of the PCNA UESP guild (Resident Daggerfall Covenant enjoyer) | Main & basically only character: Crucian Vulpin, Imperial Dragonknight of the Daggerfall Covenant, and Undaunted Bulwark (I tank) | Mountain bike enjoyer and vulpine appreciator | If you know me from PCEU: No | To ZOS: THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BRING MY HORSE INTO BATTLE!1 -

You could make this argument about maybe any other element of the chapter, but music...? Why would the in-game timeline have anything to do with whether we hear music from TES5 or not?Given ESO is a millennium earlier than Skyrim I would be astonished if it featured the same music.0 -

Because the music should reflect the game we’re playing and its setting rather than be a reflection of other games which we aren’t playing and which are set many centuries in the game future.
It would be like having heavy metal in a Lord of the Rings game ... I’m sure some people would love it, but it would be pretty f-ing game breaking in my opinion.
I don’t want Greymoor to be Skyrim online. You want Skyrim, go play Skyrim, it’s a good game.1 -

I'm still not seeing a coherent point being made about music. Setting? Characters? Story? Okay... but music? What a weird and inexplicable hill to die on.

Protoavis73✭✭✭You can always put Jemery Soule's excellent TES music on when playing ESO.
I do like ESO's music very much (some music in Riften comes to mind) but for me the father of the Elder Scrolls music is Jeremy Soule. Without him the whole series would not be as good as it is.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Given ESO is a millennium earlier than Skyrim I would be astonished if it featured the same music.
But ESO isn't a millenium earlier than Skyrim, it's 8 years after it.
(we hear "Morrowind" music in Morrowind, so I'd be surprised if there wasn't some "Skyrim" music in Skyrim.)
...remember, half the point of doing these Ooh Look! Nostalgia Expansions!™ is, well, nostalgia. They want to attract fans of the earlier games. Hell, even the regular ESO music, I sometimes hear things that remind me of the TES games I've played. There's probably already "Skyrim" music in Eastmarch & the Rift.0
