Xbox 360 Your Soundtrack to Skyrim

[Outrun]

Did you just enjoy the music of Skyrim while playing or did you have a playlist of some sort?

I stuck with the game's music. It just...fit (of course) especially in snowy areas and when exploring mines and caves.

 

[ThunderSteel]

I mainly listened to power metal and folk metal while traveling across Skyrim. Folk metal was extremely fitting.

 

[StreetShark]

I just listened to the original soundtrack for Skyrim. Turned it all the way up and enjoyed the hell out of it.

 

[ThunderSteel]

Found the bands in my Skyrim playlist: Brocas Helm, Bathory, Falconer, Manowar, Blind Guardian, Enslaved, Unleashed, Sabaton, Helloween, Elvenking, Battlelore

I like to have a lot of epic instrumental style music in the background whenever I'm playing Skyrim. My playlist consists of a lot of E. S. Posthumus, Atlas Plug, and Two Steps From Hell.

I sometimes play Alestorm -- played that for AC4, which worked remarkably well.

For those who haven't heard, blast this next time you're killing pirates: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta-Z_psXODw

Works with killing dragons, too.

 

[ThunderSteel]

Alestorm and Running Wild works extremely well for AC4, especially Running Wild.

Dat list. Dat glorious list.

I always play Alestorm (and Running Wild) while playing AC4, Port Royale, etc. It goes perfectly.

 

[MetalSwift]

Oh god Running Wild. Running Wild was Alestorm before Alestorm. I remember when Alestorm was Battleheart and had the original Heavy Metal Pirates song--loved it.

 

[Outrun]

Alots of metal. I listened to Atlas Plug that Sniper mentioned and liked it. I'll have to try it with Skyrim.

I prefer to just listen to the original soundtrack for the game.
