The days of skipping school to play this, and not caring, during the cold winter ..

Sitting by the fireplace, with a glas of red wine,only candle light shimmering against my stone walls... listening to this...

Magic of my childhood.

Do you remember how the door crackles when you open it? The sound of your own footsteps? The noise your armor makes when you equip it? This music brings everything back so fast...

I hope that Bethesda make a game with : - The size of Daggerfall *.* - The stuff, objects, creatures of Morrowind - The Atmosphere of Oblivion - The design of characters of Skyrim :o

- How are you? - Fantastic, thanks for asking. - They say that when you murder someone the Dark Brotherhood comes to you in your sleep, it's how they recruit new members. - Go on - Heard any news from the other provinces? - They say syndicates of wizards have left a boycott of imperial goods in the land of the Altmer. -The Altmer have powerful wizards, it could be a dangerous situation. - Goodbye. - You too.

I saw a mudcrab the other day...

What is it, citizen?

Games have this certain magic to them that brings you to another world and lets you explore what you've always wanted to see. A world where you decide whether you want an exhilarating war or the most beautiful peace. We will always love the nostalgia associated with our younger memories because those are the ones that matter to us in this chaotic world of life. The memories of peace and quiet in our own little world. The good memories.

Bethesda should definitely do a 10 year anniversary (since it came out in 2006) with TES Oblivion but with updated graphics like Skyrim or even better.... Man that'd be so good.

Honestly what really differentiates Skyrim from Oblivion is Atmosphere; in Skyrim, everyone is "The Dragonborn" - a legend, someone who is destined to defeat Alduin and dragonkind. I remember the first time playing Skyrim killing the first dragon; I had goosebumps at how incredibly awesome an experience it was, I couldn't put down the game for a month at least... However. Soon, I was too strong to lose, even if I wanted to. I know in a fantasy RPG, we all would like to feel empowered, but it just didn't feel complimentary to me...I felt like I was playing a game, with Skyrim. I'd be looking at the variables, I'd be thinking outside the 4th wall mostly. I was never under an illusion this was a game. People repeated the same quotes incessantly; how many of you here in the comment section could rehearse what Adrianna Avenici said, word for word? The adrenaline soon faded, and eventually, I saw the crippling flaw with Skyrim ( And incidentally it's the exact same as what turned me off with Fallout 3 a long time ago ) *It was designed for me to play once at the time and go, "Wow, wee! Look at this, look at that!" there was no 'replayability' persay; in Oblivion, I could waste my life just walking around, talking to people, almost deluding myself that I was really there* I remember having a dozen xbox 360 accounts all full with save slots; I wanted to be a different person, to live a different life, it WAS an Rpg! I didn't feel like I was on some kind of rollercoaster, babysitting me and keeping me entertained, I felt like I was a part of the world I saw and heard...And I lament that we'll never have a game like this again.

Music in Oblivion always made me feel good :)

I can and have listened to this for days on end.

I feel AWFUL for picking this up so late. I got it in 2014, back when I was VERY new to gaming, though my parents would only let me play games rated "E". Nowadays, I'm playing Witcher and Saints Row, but that's besides the point. So, i go into my local Gamestop and I i find a game called Oblivion. It was VERY cheap, like $5. I recognized the Elder Scrolls name, as my friend and 3rd grade teacher (my favorite thus far) played Skyrim. I think to myself, why not get Oblivion. i spent the car ride home staring at awe at the screenshots (remember, the most graphically intense game I could play was madden, which i dropped after playing Oblivion. So, I wait 'till night, and turn on Oblivion. I stared in awe at the intro cutscene, and was terrified of the starter dungeon. The music and the lighting all contributed to a very, very eerie atmosphere. the rest of my tales involve finding the missing painter, exploring Vilverlin 'till I reached the bottom, found the Umbra sword, became a pilgrim of the Nine, and last but not least, *ALL* of Shivering Isles (Are any of you surprised?) i recently grabbed the PC port and I'm having a lot of fun playing around with enhanced graphics, which can really help bring the atmosphere to an even higher level. Now, I do think it is FAR better than Skyrim, as I'm a big fan of RPG's (technically, most games are RPG's, but i mean the skill based character adventure games, like Oblivion or even the earlier games like Daggerfall), and Skyrim, really doesn't feel like an RPG. And that godawful leveling. I didn't like I was becoming a better archer, i felt I just had another bullsh*t perk at my disposal, such as "You do 20% more damage with a bow.. in a game like Oblivion, my damage with a bow would increase as i use bows or get training in them. Though increasing these skill numbers in Oblivion is a little slow. Overall, though, Oblivion is worth a damn; don't let it fade into obscurity

nostalgia overload every single time i play this, which happens to be all but daily haha ahhhhh such fond childhood memories

I remember listening to this when I was sitting in my house (in oblivion) while I was reading The Real Barenziah, trying to hold back my tears. That story is a good one.

Oblivion, i still play it and it's still as beautiful as i remember. What a great looking game!

love this game. Bethesda needs to get back to this kind of vibe.

Dude, i always listen to this music. When i study or going to school it makes me calm. The first time i booted up oblivion i had to cry... I loved the soundtrack and wished i lived in tamriel....

Everyone has their preference, but I think we can all agree that Jeremy Soule is an amazing composer.

Oblivion has the best ambient music

Trully was magical like someone said, played morrowind, then fully entered oblivion... epic.

remember when i was younger watching my bro play this and bringing the magic into reality, a year later i stated playing it and was even more beautiful

i remember the good days i had no worries, no problems i use to come home every day from school and stay up all night playing this game. I found myself going to the crunchy snowy hills of bruma and listening to the music just to look at the scenery. Now that im older i look back on this and cry because i realize things were so much different i had such a different veiw on the world. My advice is dont be afraid to do things like this it just means your a kid. Enjoy the little things if ur happy.

This is breathtaking

Your not a nerd, you just enjoy the better things in life. Nature is one of them.

This is so nostalgic... reminds me of the literally hundreds of hours I spent exploring Oblivion :D

Only two days left to the weekend so i can finally play oblivion

The best in-game music, ever.

Oblivion the king of TES games.

Ahhhh Oblivion... Wish that Bethesda would make an ES just like Oblivion... Skyrim was fun and all but it just wasn't... It didn't have the charm that Oblivion had.

Apart from nostalgia, it has that crummy charm. Plus, it really IS more colorful.

Same goes with me, I go to college by bicycle everyday. My iphone filled with these soundtracks. One day, I was spotted by officer wearing heatphones while riding a bicycle on road, I felt like, "Stop right there you criminal" quote poped up in my mind. :D

Why do I get a Christmas time nostalgia, feeling from playing this game and hearing its lovely music?

I listen to all the town and exploration songs while I'm driving. If you put them in the right order, they flow together and take you from sunrise, through the day, to midnight.

Skyrim is pure action and Oblivion is very beautiful....OBLIVION FOR THE WIN :)

I've done all the quests from the unmarked to the easter eggs, there's virtually nothing new in store for me and I still love it. Timeless

i am blown away by Oblivions soundtrack. i have never had feels from any other game like I have from Oblivion

i've walking on the STREETS, listening to a town song from oblivion on my ipod, it was epiiiic

amazing music. i listen to the first song so much haha. i get pumped when it comes on ingame

lol are you me? This is literally how I felt about skyrim. There was something so magical about Oblivion, I still play it even after playing Skyrim for well over 300 hours.

This is exactly my playlist when studying at the library late in the evening. Sort of gives me an intelligence boost ha ha.

Morrowind is still the best part for me. First i've ever played. I was only 8 when first time played it. It will always remain in my heart :)

Every time I play Oblivion I am transported into a mystical land far far away from the worries of tomorrow and forget the problems of today.

Elder Scrolls games have such great music.

I heard that thieves broke into the Arcane University, the Imperial Legion Compound, and the Temple, all on the same night! wait a minute, let me do that one again

you speak the truth ser, not many would say it. You have my vote.

Can't wait until elder scrolls online :D

wish there was more humans like you in the world then i think the internet would be less of a horrible place and the world that much more enjoying

You act like being a nerd is a bad thing! Embrace it, embrace what you are, don't deny it. Being a nerd is a privilege, even if society doesn't see it that way!

This THE best sound track ever! I am listening this album every day at work.

I couldn't find better words. You got it so perfectly right.

Glad other people have sentimental feelings towards Elder Scrolls :)

Playing oblivion at the moment. God the nostalgia.

Fighters Guild member 1: have you heard of the fighter's guild? Fighters Guild member 2: No. Fighters Guild member 1: goodbye. Fighters Guild member 2: Farewell.

I remember back in the day playing this game on sick days from school, childhood

how can a game make you this nostalgic? THIS game is the only one that makes me feel this way. I mean, how can anyone actually dislike this game? Whenever im feeling down, i just listen to this music and it totally takes me away to the green fields and beautiful towns of cyrodiil and i feel energized again. Man i love this game so much :)

Ahhh, right in the childhood.

Yes.... Oblivion is their masterpiece.

that's it, when i have my own place, i'm going to play these music in the background 24/7 just for the atmosphere

I ve never played oblivion... but the ost inspires me

Helps me sleep at night no joke

One my favorite soundtrack I really love this soundtrack The best one ever!!!!!!!!!!

An important message not to be forgotten. Have a nice day :)

Why I loved oblivion; it gave a sense of a fulfilled, civil world. The music, the forests, all a little bit of Imperial paradise. In Skyrim, it's beautiful too, but... not in the same way.

love the flute in there!

You, sir, made my day.

This hit with me with so much nostalgia and memories, almost couldn't listen to it. Its weird, game only came out 6 years ago and it feels so distant. The greatest memories are the most depressing.

I fucking love Skyrim and it's definitely my favorite TES, but Oblivion was my first and I'll never forget the feeling of exiting the sewers for the first time.. and seeing that amazing landscape. The realization of being able to walk almost everywhere, just mind blowing.

enjoying great music does not make you a nerd lol if that was the case every1 in this world is just as nerdy as any of us listening to this enchanting piece of music

Oblivion music combined with some Morrowind music - the best ambient background musics and themes every created in history

If im going to be honest this game is the best elder scrolls game. I remember when first playing it, Walking around in the Cave under the prison. I remember when I came out and saw the big Beautiful view of water outside the imperial city. I remember Walking around in the cities, impressed by all of the opportunities the game had. Sometimes I just wish that all of this was real, that you could experience Tamriel for real.

oh, this brings me back

nice tracks and game,I remember playing it 8 years ago,good memories

Oblivion was so much more...inspiring than Skyrim, and thats saying something! There was just something that had me coming back and playing it for months and months without it getting old...Maybe it was that feeling of wonder and fantasy that Skyrim just didn't have...Maybe I just liked the Colovian atmosphere more...Or perhaps since Oblivion was my first Elder Scrolls game, it's just my outlook. Nonetheless, the magic will always be with me, and I'll be happy to play it for years to come :)

Best soundtrack Ever

I understand the nostalgia completely, but why fret? PLAY TI AGIAIN and relive the awsomeness!

You know, I have the same thoughts about Morrowind, and find myself enjoying Skyrim more than Oblivion. I think its more that having loved your "first" Elder Scrolls so much, you put a lot of faith into the next one. To me, Oblivion just couldn't recapture the magic, not because of its shortcomings, but because of my own expectations. I still loved it of course. Now though, I have come to accept Morrowinds place in history, and I can move on. I think this is why Skyrim is such a joy for me.

Both genres are very dinstinct, I can't really decide which one is the best, they are the best in their own genre I think ^^

so many feels

No dude you're a freakin' genius!

sounds so great. :)

Nothing could ever top the sound tracks in TES3 Morrowind!

man i love this music

Beyond words

I know what you mean my friend:) Oblivion was magical for me also. And at that time i had really slow PC, but i was still trying to run Oblivion, atleast at medium settings, because that game, that world and atmosphere was so good, it was like a lucid dream for me:) But Skyrim...with todays technology...oh those litle details everywhere. And with mods i make Skyrim like my own magical world, another dimension where i can live:)

Yes, I myself prefer the orchestra and melody of Oblivion far more :) Skyrim is beautiful too, but it's more ambient, which is fine, imho, I just like this far more! Never the less, Soule is a genius!

Sweet!

I disagree, I found Skyrim's rough nature extremely beautiful as it looked so hostile but gorgeous at once. It fascinated me way more than Cyrodiil did. Loved both games though!

the elder scrolls series got the best soundtracks ever

sooo awesome

Sounds like blackwood to me... Always raining :)

Best ambietn ever ! more oblivion and skyrim ambience themes please ! : )

Transport me back to this mystical land.

Even better when combined with that of Morrowind!

thats an AMAZING idea!!!! Thx man!!!! :D

i used to walk around in the woods with this music on my ipod and just look at stuff. god, im a nerd.

The Lydian mode will always be the “Oblivion Scale” to me

aa those good times :) no worries, just play games

almost fell asleep on the floor...
