December 19, 1975) is an award-winning American composer from Keokuk, Iowa and a prolific composer of orchestral videogame scores. Soule's soundtracks are often critically acclaimed as being among the best in the computer and video games industry and as rivaling the quality of many orchestral film soundtracks. A large percentage of Soule's music is done electronically and emulates real orchestral music so well that it is frequently indistinguishable from the real thing. He often collaborates with his brother, Julian Soule, with whom he also founded DirectSong; a company that sells DRM-free downloads of several classical composers, including Jeremy's own compositions.

Soule has been working in the music industry since 1994 when he became an employee of Square. He then left to join Humongous Entertainment, where he composed for several children's games as well as Total Annihilation, his first award-winning score. He left to form his own music production company, Soule Media in 2000, now called Artistry Entertainment. Through this company Soule has created several award-winning soundtracks. In 2005 he founded DirectSong. Soule's works have been played in several live concerts such as the Symphonic Game Music Concert in Germany and the international Play! A Video Game Symphony concert series.

A change in musical style may be felt by listeners of his compositions past 2005. As Soule had a near-death experience in a car crash about which he reportedly stated in an interview for FiringSquad: "I ended up rolling in my car several times on an interstate while flying headlong into oncoming traffic ... I felt no fear ... I simply just acknowledged to myself that I've had a good life and I would soon have to say goodbye to all of it in a matter of seconds".

He has produced and composed music for:

* Armies of Exigo
* Azurik: Rise of Perathia
* Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
* Company of Heroes
* Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
* Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor

Jeremy Soule recently took legal action against KHInsider, a website dedicated to digital music piracy. The owner of the site decided to remove the offending material in order to avoid being sued by Soule, who was not only trying to have his own music removed, but all the music on the site. At the same time, many customers of DirectSong have had been waiting months if not years for their physical CDs to arrive and so some filed a lawsuits against DirectSong. DirectSong no longer offers its music in physical media.

rohan shishkebab I never heard Morrowind's soundtrack before hearing the Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim.
I guess I remembered hearing the music whenever I was traveling along the ash lands of Solstheim and finding out that Falx Carious was featured in a previous elder scrolls game, AND the fact that Morrowind's bloodmoon DLC took place on Solstheim made me wonder what he was like back then.
I found a video of Falx as captain in the bloodmoon DLC and somewhere in the video some music that I recognised from Dragonborn, which caught me off guard because I never heard Morrowind's soundtrack before.
Later I looked for the ambience music from Dragonborn's Solstheim and the description also mentioned some of the music being from Morrowind, then after hearing some of Morrowind's music for once, while recognising it from Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC I then knew that Dragonborn's soundtrack hails from Morrowind's

20 hours into Morrowind right now myself. Absolutely loving it. Skyrim got too bland for me and over playing it with mods essentially was just killing it and trying to recapture what once was when I played a decade ago. Morrowind is so different and unique, the lore is so rich. You feel genuinely important, but mysterious to you as to why.

I was introduced to TES when Skyrim came out (I was 7 at the time in 2011), got ESO in 2015, and in 2020 I finally played Morrowind and Oblivion for the first time, this song got instantly stuck in my head , and was a pleasure to hear in Solstheim.

Skyrim was a big part if my childhood so it’s obviously my favourite, and I’m glad it introduced me to the franchise. Playing through Oblivion to see if I can finally finish it lol

As much as I couldn't get into the combat system of Morrowind, I still have mad respect for this game. It totally brought the series into full 3D and had deep RPG elements to it that were great. I'll admit it though, I largely preferred Oblivion (heresy, I know) and even Skyrim, but I DO see the appeal this one had.

BusterMachine1

4y↑13

I've always had trouble getting into Morrowind until recently. It's not that I think it's bad, far from it (it's now close to being tied with Oblivion for my favorite, tho I have a lot of nostalgia for Oblivion so I don't think it'll ever be topped). The die roll esque combat always just made me not want to play due to how frustrating it is. That mixed with how you essentially NEED to build your own class to play made it difficult for me to enjoy. Then the quarantine started and I started playing it for real. Once I got past the combat, i.e. I used a mod. Sue me (I'll use base combat next playthrough for sure though), I really started to enjoy the game. The lack of a real fast travel system, while annoying at first (again, spoiled by later games, and Daggerfall) really helps sell the immersion. You have to walk places, or pay for a SIlt Strider or boat. You have to explore, you can't just warp back and forth for quests and I love it. I love the world, the visuals (I have an odd appreciation for older, dated 3D graphics), the music (obviously), the quests are fun (though I find myself less doing quests and more just exploring places, stealing shit, selling it, going exploring again, rinse and repeat), just everything is wonderful and I understand why it's so highly praised now. TLDR Coronavirus made me love Morrowind.

Honestly, dice roll combat is the reason I love this game.
Dice roll combat
Insane customization (for the time)
Awesome armor design
Great narrative
Great sound (especially music)
And 2 absolutely amazing expansions

BusterMachine1

4y↑1

@Lt Hotpocket well like I said, I'm a bit spoiled by Oblivion and Skyrims combat systems (i.e. If your sword connects with the enemy, it hits), but I'll definitely go vanilla combat my next playthrough. TES in general is probably my favorite ARPG series for the open endedness, lore, and immersive worlds.

Warrior classes need a bit of Agility to actually land attacks. Missing attacks pretty much goes away by level 10 if you’re building correctly and utilizing the right equipment: there’s pretty powerful stuff to be found right outside of Seyda Neen if you know where to go.

People vastly over estimate the difficulty:complexity of Morrowind because they lack the patience and focus to get outside of the early game, and most gamers have the lost the ability to think about side the box and go at a slow pace/do their own discovery or investigation because the last decade has been over saturated with completely dumbed down systems that basically play the game for you.; they tell you where to go, what to get by giving you complexity immersion breaking quest markers, easy:gimmicky combat systems and tons of brainless fast travel systems that take all connection away that a player can develop with the game world. Now it’s just “run there, kill that, fast revel back, run to the quest giver, dump a few points, sell a crapload of useless junk, craft OP item, repeat. No real time and effort required to cultivate anything. Sprint everywhere; fast travel as much as possible, kill
Everything, spam the same shit over and over, never stop to explore or appreciate the new word around you.The average gamer is totally braindead like a zombie.

Btw, you can also fast travel via the Mage’s Guild teleportation system. Fast travel is good thing, but it needs to be a thing you unlock/earn, as opposed to a system feature available from the start.

Well, you'll just have to wait for Skywind's release!
