Amazing Sound in this game...

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...

    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.

    Fully orchestrated scores ftw... and many harkening back to the wonderful scores of previous games. So beautiful music that pushes a nostalgia button. Mmm... :)

    Living 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!"

    (Signature idea shamelessly stolen from Abeille.)

    Ha, I never get tired of that. The sound design in ESO is generally excellent.

    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. :#

    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.

    I have surround sound and the forest in Grahtwood is amazing. Love it. The sound effects, music. It's all good to me.

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

    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.

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