Same bro same, I was in class 5 and wanted to go back home as early as possible to play oblivion.

My people

same friend, I would go over to my friend cody's house and watch him shoot lightning at the sky, imagining the freedom One had to have in a world where anyone can shoot lightning.

To this day, Cyrodiil still is the place where i find myself home, even more than my actual home. I feel you, mate!

SenselessDreamworld I'm only 14 and I feel that way as well... I remember when I was 8 or 9 spending countless hours on Oblivion, and even though I still do, its nothing like back then.

In deed it hurts, but it reconnects me with my true expectations. Time to live Oblivion in real life :) Now that i'm old enough.

Yea really bad 😖

@@woahnut I miss morrowind can't get it on gaystation 4 though

I think most people feel that way at various points in their lives. Some people even let it get in the way of enjoying the time they do have- I’ve been known to do that. Remember that it’s not important precisely how much time you have left. It’s important what you do with it, how you enjoy it, the bond’s you make- to people, things, or experiences, doesn’t matter- just live life for life. Don’t get stuck in the past too much, or worry too much about how much future is left.

Robert Breeden yeah and how tough is to come out of that world and face the real life...

though what a nice position it is be to be free to play this freely and "face real life" at the same time.. freedom of choice, eh?

I mean you could do both

Same dude. Oblivion is possibly my favorite game of all time.

My wife bought for my birthday the Game of the Year Edition for PS2. ♥️

LucidJoe - I always thought he was such an incredible composer but this also shows he is an incredible human being too.

@@golz9785 not only that, but an insightful one as well. Very few people have the wisdom of Confucius or Lao Tzu.

@@golz9785 he's a bit of an asshole ngl

We need people like you on every comment section

@@krystof5271 how so?

Indeed he expressed the majesty of life into this music

Jeremy Soule did the music, did an outstanding job

Cool, I didn't know that. It reminds me a bit of the OST for Angels in America by Thomas Newman, which deals with similar themes.

Venoxisguides - thanks for sharing, I had no idea...

And he named this particular piece after Tamriel's goddess of life.

Words cannot describe what this music can ;)

@@Cyeoable You said that right ! x)

It's the soul of a game.

It's one of the reasons why I will always say that games are as valuable art made by people as movies and music albums are. We're moved by the emotions in the soundtrack and they stay in our hearts. The Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, Horizon Zero Dawn. Heck, even the old Settlers on Amiga. Music is art, games are art.

That idea just gave me goosebumps. I mean, f*ck! I've always thought Dragonborn was a decent DLC even without the nostalgia, but things like running across the ash fields and seeing a Silt Strider for the first time (first time in Skyrim that is) while Blessings of Vivec comes on? You can't make those feels up. If TES 6 just gives me that little cliff moment you described I probably wouldn't care if the rest of the game was complete shit lol.

Lotsa Spaghetti - they REALLY need to incorporate this idea. I so hope they do that.

I’m pretty sure the guy who scored oblivion will not be scoring ES:6 unfortunately.. love the idea though. I agree with the neat cliff idea. Just something for the fans who have been there for years..

Dawson Nagel yeah. Just the little touches like that is what made Bethesda, Bethesda. I hope for the newest elder scrolls, that they focus on what we want not what they want to marketize.

@@dawsonnagel1606 elder scrolls 6 has only recently started production, the music for it hasn't even been written yet, they just got done with starfield so there's still time for ES6 to bring him back, though with the perpetually offended crowd getting their claws into him with accusations from years past.. it will entirely depend on how much bethesda buys into the social media narrative.

It is brilliant on it's own. It just adds that extra Bittersweet feeling if you actually played the game.

That’s a fat L on your part oblivion is goated it’s second only to Morrowind

And never, never ever will, friend, because you just expressed what I had in my soul. Thank you. Oblivion also shaped my inner world.

Ramiz S Let us never forget what oblivion gave to us, and move forward with our lives.

That's exactly how I feel. Real life was so much simpler back then. Going to school by morning, sometimes even waking up a bit earlier to play before leaving, coming home and entering this amazing fantasy world, much like the real world as it was at that time: mystery and adventure ahead of me, and a feeling of looking at the start of a road that leads to new and beautiful things.

Incredible how a videogame can change your life. I'm playing Oblivion and so far I love it...

according to steamcharts, oblivion has 1000 concurrent players at any one time, this is a game that will never be lost even as the generations grow old, we will remember it, more than morrowind, more than skyrim I just wish in my heart of hearts that the elder scrolls 6 can throw off the shackles of corporate driven games and recapture some of the magic this game brought to us all.

I think it was meant to do that. I love it!!

I was playing Elder Scrolls IV from age 10 to 15 before Skyrim came out. Honestly this game was one of the only games I was actually focused on. I haven't played a game the great since.

The Wings of Kynareth will carry you back to peaceful times.

Hope youre doing well

Still a masterpiece

Oblivion has the most relaxing music

Shivering isles was incredible. Definitely my favourite dlc

Shivering Isles is what made to turn my initial hate into love for Oblivion. And by the way, the whole OST fits SI more than the original game!

One the best dlc's of all time

where did you get this info from? thanks for sharing it

From the Elder Scrolls wiki, a gold mine for TES lore.

Welcome again to the alter of kynareth

I hate spriggans

Thor's hammare Mjölner It hits me hard at 1:55

This speaks to the very core of soul...

does it hit you in your soul? or your Soule? :))

Awesome

Same with me. I used to use invisibilitythough so that the theme wouldn't be interrupted by any hostile npc.

Yeah right, same. For such beautiful music they object it to some BRUTAL cutoffs when coming upon the most feeble threat (COUGH MUDCRABS) Yes. i've heard others same the same.... Bye! Stop talking!

But what if, as it happened to me a couple of month ago? I was exploring Cyrodiil and Wings of Kynareth was played as all of a sudden a damned Ogre interrupted the atmosphere by forcing me into a fight (on a level beyond 20 and medium difficulty - that takes quite a while to defeat an Ogre...) But once i´d beaten him, Wings of Kynareth started to play AGAIN! Guess what I did? I stood still at the place and listened just for the sake of it! Never has happended before and might never happen ever again...

That's why I usually use invisibility or get the boots of the apostle soon so music will stop less often and travelling will be great

Try to enjoy the present as much as you loved your past. Hope you will

Still puts modern games to shame for me

And to think you made this post 5 years ago, have the nostalgia once again friend.

The road most travelled is the best, this comes close.

曲だけではなく、この曲に寄せられたコメントまで素晴らしかった。 極上の創造物は人生を彩ってくれる。素晴らしい人生にしてくれる。ああ、ありがとう。感謝せずにはいられない。

Same

@GreenTea Same. -_-

Calla Day Sometimes I'd just stand there on the game and drift off into a fantasy world, and actually believe I was there. Skyrim didn't feel like that to me, and I can't explain why.

+Calla Day skyrim was all full of brown washed out fields and snowy mountains. The icebergs and hot springs were memorable but otherwise it was such a boring and colorless world. There wasn't any memorable music, either. When I think of Oblivion there's so much variety. The gold coast, the west weald, blackwood, the great forest, heartlands and jerall mountains. Skyrim is basically all snow and woods. Cyrodiil had it all.

+Calla Day Don't worry, it's not because of our age. We don't exactly lose our capacity to be amazed. No, it's because Skyrim honestly wasn't that amazing. Its sidequests didn't pull you into the world as much, and they weren't as deep, varied or full of intrigue as Oblivion's. Just compare the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion to that of Skyrim. Also, Skyrim was filled with cold environments that looked too barren. There weren't that many interesting NPCs in Skyrim, far fewer interesting places on the map, the world wasn't as vibrant, and there was a strange filter laid over the screen that made everything look a bit too silvery or washed out. I don't remember ever seeing a sunrise or sunset in Skyrim and being amazed at its beauty. The game disappointed me too, in many respects.

Oblivion might have the better world, but I found it boring as fuck

Skyrim has a lot of fetch/kill-quests, but those are not worth playing more than a few times. They are the epitome of repetitiveness. I feel that Skyrim replaced many meaningful quests with those 'radiant' ones, and well... I play RPGs for interesting, emotional storylines. I don't play them just to kill dragons over and over. I honestly don't know why anyone would prefer Skyrim over Oblivion considering the latter had more interesting quests. It's kind of like with Fallout 4 - I would never consider it better than FO3, and certainly not New Vegas.

you speak rather truthful for a space bounty hunter

i managed to completely fuck you up by using a despell on your invisibility and locking my room door so you headbutted it for half an hour while i laughed at you :) @lucien lachance

Louthinator To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis

+TheFableGamer my life for Anu

TALOS

You're very welcome. Lol, yes, a lot of screenshots of heavily modded Oblivion.

Love the song and I keep coming back to listen to it, but your profile pic always makes me smile.... "Arrrghh, you bastards! Give this people air!..."

Balgur's gate, Icewind dale, Planescape torment.... Gothic, Risen, Morrowind and Skyrim if by CRPG you mean computer rpg, not classic.

Those are all brilliant soundtracks and even better games, but this here is Jeremy`s magnum opus for me..

tatuira93 you should check out Dawn Gleams on Cyrodill from the ESO soundtrack. Its a tribute to this.

TheGeorgee he's talking about the song, not the game itself. Also for the record how does Skyrim even compare to any of those other games, it doesn't deserve to be named among those legends...

LordMO0 holyshit! You're right mate. "Wings of kynareth" @1:58 and "Dawn gleams on cyrodiil" @1:05 pretty much sounds the same!

Same here, the game look so old to me now, but when i first played it on a shit pc at 800*600 and medium details, jaw breaking!!! The music just reminds me the sweet times of my teenage playing this gane, totally immerged in it, without any *concerns about life's real.problems. because i was only a teen, a life ahead....

@GreenTea that too is a masterpiece, but unlike oblivion, the witcher 3 compares very well with the latest games

If you get into trouble, *come find me*.

likes grunge and soule's music huh ? nice

You have my ear, citizen.

We're always on duty

Oblivion and Morrowind are unmatched

Nah but there are others who agree with you.

​@@HolyChadMorrowind is unplayable now.

​@@hihosilver1234I disagree, with just an MGE it is a spectacular experience, the worldbuilding is unmatched and combat system is olay if you create a character with 40 or 50 initial points of a combat skill.

Its undertone is kind of different though, "fair resdaynia" was a shitehole from the start, but you kinda slowly fix it by becoming the hortator and killing dagoth ur, with it also deposing the tribunal, restoring the old velothi ways. Personally I feel oblivion is depressing as hell, you wouldn't feel it at the start, but slowly, everything just crumbled away, the oblivion crisis, the death/mantling of your best friend aka martin, the slow downfall of the cyrodiilic guilds. We see in skyrim the mages guild had a schism, the fighter's guild wasn't even mentioned, the dark brotherhood is a shade of its former self and the thieves guild is down on its luck, when you became the knight of the nine you also inherited the madness of pelinal, shivering isles is just the cherry on top, the hero of kvatch is slowly becoming insane until the graymarch sealed his fate as sheogorath, he's arguably the most tragic of heroes.

There's a lot of hidden fun things about Kynareth all over Skyrim, like the Voice of the Sky power you get from reading all the etched tablets on the 10,000 steps, the fact that the Thu'um is a gift straight from Kynareth to Mer, it's fun to read into it and listen to all the dialogue in the game and find out more about the lore. There's a lot of depth :). My main Skyrim character is a Paladin that I'm role playing as the son of Kynareth and so naturally I'm losing myself in the immersion. These games are awesome
