AurianaValoria1 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I know I enjoy playing Morrowind and Oblivion without music sometimes, especially since it eliminates the "battle alert." :P Will you mute the music for your first playthrough, or keep it?

rockygohard18 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Ehh Doesn't really matter to me personally If I get sick of that tune I just go to options and cut the music,,but its nice and some times espically with a few mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBlackfang Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Several first playthroughs without music, then I'll likely turn it on for variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hejpadig Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I'll keep every sound effect on. I want to enjoy the experience the way Bethesda recommends it. The music in the demo was beautiful, it was beyond anything I had hoped for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like, cuz real life doesn't have theme music it breaks immersion? I disagree, bad music can surely break immersion as it makes you think about just how bad it is, which brings you out of the game. However, a good soundtrack that matches and reinforces what happens on the screen can severely enhance immersion. I mean it's personal of course, some people feel more immersed without music, but breaks immersion by definition...? No no. EDIT: As for the topic... **** yeah I'll have the music on. It's Jeremy Soule man, heresy to mute that stuff :D Edited October 23, 2011 by Adrius2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iv000 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I will keep the music on for my first playthrough. It's blasphemy not to listen to it at least once.If it becomes repetitive I will turn it off on my next few playthroughs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhardingame Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Def. keep the music on. As a musician, the better the music, the better the immersion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
