The Oblivion Soundtrack, It's been released Options

So, for ten dollars you can get a list of 26 songs used in Oblivion, all composed by the ltanted Jeremy Soule. I thought it was a waste of money but my eagerness cuaght up with eventually and I downloaded the album.

The music is excellent. A lot of the songs are very similar to morrowind;s, in fact it seems music will feel very similar to how it did in Morrowind, if only less repetitive and a bit more suited to where you currently are in the game or what's happening.

Still, after reading a couple interviews I decided a really necessary mod will be something really easy to do, when initiating combat music from exploration or plot music, instead of being abrupt as it was in Morrowind and I hear it is in Oblivion, the current music should fade away into a pause that will last for five seconds, then the battle music would start. The abrupt music changed spoil the immersion.

Possibly, I can go back and check easily. Listening to gaming steve or whatever I heard he complained about bad transition. To be honest, I don't even mind battles with no music at all. I like battle music that starts off fast paced but non intrusive then builds up, that way if it barely counted because it were something simple like a crab you wouldn't even be bothered by the ten second music change.

EDIT: Yeah I rewatched the demo it didn't have very good transition, and the combat music is intrusive. It's good combat music, but what really pissed me off about the cliffracers in morrowind was mostly the fact that I was enjoying myself traveling along accompanied by the nice kusic that would just end for a few minutes and come in with this battle music that was trying to insert this feeling of suspense, but it wasn't suspenseful at all.
