I like sweets so true man!
omgggg
bleak falls! I was shitting it hahaha
😤😢😖
Yes ;-;
"See that ruin up there? Bleak Falls Barrow. When I was a boy, that place always used to give me nightmares. Draugr creeping down the mountain to climb through my window at night, that kind of thing. I admit, I still don't much like the look of it."
See that ruin up there bleak falls barrow I never understood how my sister could stand living in the shadow of that place I guess you get used to it
Underrated af comment
@@chefraamsay9934why
It was 13 years agoo, what a wonderful video game!!
The fact I went there after leaving Helgen to get the dragon stone for Farengar is just how great Skyrim is, being able to get stuff early for quests before doing them
The music was a big part of the experience, it carried the whole game.
It really did
Yep. Honestly it's still a great game but its flaws are apparent the older I get. The music though.. never gets old.
Robert Herbst a lot of the flaws seemed less pronounced 10 years ago (well ok, 9). I’m so proud of how far games have come, and skyrim still holds such a special place in my heart.
Are you sure?... I mean, I really felt the carried weight of that guard's story; the one where he took an arrow to the knee.
@@robertherbst9487 flaws??!! We use MODs for that..

53:37 I have just this image in my head that has a pizzadelivery guy knocking on the door to the dungeon entrance, but no one is coming to open the door
Underrated comment 😂
Everytime I'm going to hear that now at least it will make dungeon crawling a little bit less scary
I have been looking for you, got something to deliver, your hands only.
Ra Alf Let’s see here... *A pizza!* Not sure who from. He wouldn’t say. Just that he was a friend of yours. Looks like that’s it. Got to go...
Hellooo? Pizza delivery here for... I. C. Weiner? Aww crud
Five days from now after I've finished all my exams. I will continue my journey through Skyrim. I must continue my journey through Skyrim. It calls to me, it yearns for me....
Me too... After the exams that is...
Ben jij het Piet?
Teacher before your final exams: Don't fail me again, Admiral Piett.
UMBRA. IT IS EVERYTHING.
How were your exams,then? Did you do good,fellow DOVAHKIIN?
That moment you recognize nearly every shot instantly...
what's the quest with the floating orbs and the guy lying face down? I don't recognize it
@ 52:01? That's Yngol Barrow, it Northeast of Windhelm, you can find it by going along the coast across from the Windhelm's docks.
never seen those dots before
Where is the place shown at 28:58?
Anna McQuillan looks like that prison you can reach by crossing a river or going under a bridge- its near a mans house that has been crushed by a tree.
6:32 always gives me chills. It reminds me of the first time I entered Bleak Falls Barrow (basically the first Nordic Tomb I entered) and it just is somehow nostalgic or something. (just realized it's also what played while I spent 30+ minutes making my character :P)
Silent footsteps better be in Elder scrolls 6 or I'm gon start a riot.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Bandit: You never should have come here! Dragonborn: *proceeds to kill the bandit in one hit*
wtf are you talking about
Even today Skyrim has the most atmospheric dungeons. No other game comes close. And the music plays a big factor in this. Jeremy Soule is a genius.
fallout 4 dungeons comes close in potency of atmos. very different vibe, tho. it's the details/close up spectacle instead of a grand one. The themepark, beaches, silos, sewers, etc. they have vibes like the little zones in Oblivion's Dark Brotherhood questline.
Fallout dungeons are pretty nice too
Don't sleep on Oblivion's dungeons. They were top tier
yeo but i think skyrims sound atmosphere was just superior@@K1LL3RW0LF23
“What was that?” “Ha found you!” “Can’t wait to count out your-AAAAGGHHH
6:30 makes me have goosebumps on top of my goosebumps.
Amazing isn't it
lmao
Godamn falmers
Maybe you should change your name to lumpy, lol.
wait until you've heard oblivion cave music
On a deeper note, I'm going through a really tough personal time right now and these videos have calmed me down so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I hope your life has improved.
Are you doing better now Claire? Much love to you, don't give up!
Hope ur doing well
Hope your doing well Claire.
Keep your head up
This really makes me want to play Skyrim again. Does anyone out there still play in 2017?
naw i've been playing elder scrolls online lol
Michael Baker me i play it on ps3
I play it too! Mostly on PS3, because my PS4 copy is scratched and I've been trying to fix it. And I have the most progress on my PS3 copy, so that's nice.
Mods and immersion, started to play again recently on my PC.
I'm going to play in 2018
I love Beneath the Ice.
DragonRand100 I agree. It has a middle-earth kind of feel to it. I really enjoy it.
DragonRand100 hey I watched your channel a while ago. time to start again!!
DragonRand100 oh hi Rand
DragonRand100 Sup man
DragonRand100 I love that and Silent Footsteps.
*bandits friend dies in middle of conversation* Bandit: eh, must have been my imagination
The music that starts at 20:45, when the tone turns slightly lighter and the leitmotif I've come to associate with the LDB starts playing always inspired me, it's like the game itself tells you that, even in the depths of Skyrim's darkest dungeons, surrounded by hordes of undead and other monsters, you are still the hero, the last hope of Tamriel, and you have to keep moving forward no matter what, because you are the only one who can. It's such a brief little part, but I love it more than anything.
I miss the good old days of playing Skyrim late at night, I want to get back into it, gets me inspired to do it and I just seeing and listening to this ambience. This sounds weird, but listening to these ambience music of Skyrim especially the dungeon ones remind me of a special moment that happened in my life, but sadly it went away. But thanks for makeing this man
Don't forget to mod it ;D
Same here man ... After either a good day or a bad one. Skyrim heals all wounds
This is my favorite channel on youtube, no joke your videos help break the silence in my house almost every day.
hey, i know how you feel :) at least you're not alone
Your house sounds like a dungeon now? :)
This soundtrack is actually quite calming, being a Skyrim fan. I see why you like this song to break silence sometimes... :)
Shaina Marie me too! It’s a great book by Patrick Woodhead.
Shaina Mckenzie? Shainanananaa???
The first track on this video is called “beneath the ice”, and I love to listen to it on cold winter nights, staring at the countless stars.
I wish I could see the stars where I live. I all see in the sky is pitch black :(
My 92 year old grandma listens to this music all the time and she loves watching your channel. Thank you for playing these beautiful songs for her.
I have been waiting for this one FOR A LONG TIME!!! HOLY SHIT my D&D sessions have been lifted to a whole new level now! Thank you!
DMing my first game tomorrow, I'm here for the same reason. :D
Which edition?
Ray Bakes 5e. DM'd Lost Mines of Phandelver the other day, went well.
Good idea. I mihgt have to float this idea to my DM...
OneWhoSetMalicious try looking into Dungeon Synth as well. Lord Lovidicus, Wongraven, Barak Tor, faery Ring, Old Tower, Sequestered Keep etc. Its lower-fi synth fantasy music perfect for RPG tabletops.
I remember when this game came out, I was 9 and this game complimented my imagination so much and the soundtrack was a big part to make this game feel magical in my 9 year old brain, and still to this day, Im an 18 year old college student who still consistently plays this game over and over and still feel engaged and excited as my past 9 year old self once was. I know Bethesda have been getting lots of criticism over the years but holy moly did they make a good game, which will be with me forever.
10:07 "is there someone living among the dead?"
"I'm sorry it's not my choice!"
12:24 12:47 perfect creepy tomb sounds
something so peaceful with the hum and whistle of the dwemer ruins
The Dungeons of this game are the best i have seen in any video games, the dwarven ruins still blows my mind up until now. Skyrim is a game where there is the normal map, then there is half the size of this map underground.
my god this reminds me of playing Skyrim all night long my freshman year of college until the sun would rise. one of the best video game soundtracks of all time.
Beneath the Ice is probably the most beautiful soundtrack in the game.
Reminds me of Hans Zimmer's music for Dune.
Yeah, listened to it maybe a thousand times.
Beneath the ice really suits dwarven ruins and blackreach
ikr
The falmer caves especially
6:33 gives me nostalgia of the many hours I’ve been stuck in ruins
Those of us who remember the days of dungeon crawling fondly find this relaxing. Looking through Dwemer ruins and wondering what i would find. Having hours to play and not worrying about the future. Simpler times
"Silent footsteps" has to be my favorite dungeons soundtrack out of them all.
It is probably one of (for me) the most recognizable tracks
It’s my favorite too.
*SNEAKY ARCHER FLASHBACKS COMING IN HOT*
Skyrims ambience is unparalleled. Pure love to it's craft. This godly ambience carries the spirit of the North and its people very well. I have found Skyrim very recently, but I am sure I will remember it for years to come.. these unforgettable moments, especially the first time in Bleak Falls Barrow.
As someone who's been playing it for years, hearing this makes me feel nostalgic even though I still play it to this day. XD
skyrim is a very special game. i keep coming back to these ambients for studiyng since 2012 ...
11:47 is really sad scene. The way he is standing there looking at his own skeleton
Damn... This game had so much influence on me and many others. I'll never forget the amount of hours I put into it and I'd start it all over if given the chance. Such a masterpiece, just the music almost brings a tear to my eye.
Обожаю Skyrim и его музыку !!!
I find it incredibly ironic that ambiance and music most likely meant to convey unease, mystery, or caution while delving deep into dangerous territory can be so relaxing. I think this is mostly due to nostalgia for the late nights I spent playing the game, and the sort of relief you feel after clearing a dungeon.
Hey, look, a cave. I wonder what's inside.
Thanks, but... This ambient mix makes my skin crawl. All I can see is my character sneaking around with some sort of baddie behind her 😰 (I still love your channel, though!)
Perfect background music for my Dungeons & Dragons campaign!
Beneath the ice reminds me of how awe struck I was my first time down in Blackreach
Death in the Darkness and Beneath the Ice have to be my favorite ones, every time I hear them in the background it literally makes me stop completely and just listen :’) ugh they just feel so magical 🤍
Thanks man, this is the best channel ever. Here I have all the musics I need for a good RPG campaign.
+JasonBRGames You're welcome! More to come. Always more to come...
Will us this in channel in my next DnD game!
When I have to work through the night to finish off essay assignments I often listen to this. When it gets to around 5 o'clock my mind temporarily drifts off and I start having Draug Deathlord flashbacks
I always feel like I'm "home" when I listen to this...along with the odd itch to adventure and discover. The perfect combination of brain storming and meditative music.
goosebumps all over the body when silents footsteps starts
This is literally perfect ambience for my DnD campaign, thank you for making this so much less of a hassle.
Skyrim dungeons are so amazing
Here wrapping up good old 2020. What a yr huh. Best wishes to everyone for a much improved situation in 2021. edit: and in the years to come. Peace and strength.
I remember when I played this for the first time. My friend's brother showed me. This was back in 2011 - I was ten. I bought Skyrim as soon as I got home and have never stopped playing.. it's 2021 and I'm still finding things 😂 I adore this game ♥️
Not particularly relaxing. I keep looking over my shoulder to make sure there aren't any Dark Brotherhood around.
I use this as a creative prompt for writing and drawing, rather than as relaxing ambience.
check out cryo chamber youtube channel. It has some of the most hypnotic and dark ambience
I found it totally relaxing.
Is more relaxing than the tavern music sometimes LOL
>not even bros with the dark brotherhood
Omg thank you! I'm going to get so much homework done
I'm too! Very good stuff for studying!
This game is always my go to when I want to immerse myself in a realm of solitude and forget about the real world for long sleepless nights/days. Just me and my thoughts/fantasies that this world cannot and will not contaminate.
6:33 Damn that takes me back >looks at map *cleared, cleared, cleared, cleared* >eh, I’ll stay on this save.
I can’t imagine listening to this for relaxation or to do “hw”. It ignites ambition and zealous wonder.
I can't believe how relaxing these are! Thank you for putting in the time to make these.
I know this is a really old comment but he didn't make the ambiance, if that's what you mean.
@@laticuslad oh I know it's from the game, but it's just nice to see some live video with music. This game was my life years ago :)
Second and third song is really disturbing for me :D
So many memories. This game was ridiculously good. Worlds like no other.
This is so magical. I'm working and listening, but I keep coming back to the screen to see what image is matching the different music and atmospheric sounds.
PS. You can pick up so many more sounds, like water dripping, when you wear headphones! :D
Exactly. It's ASMR for me
I still play Skyrim in 2019. Judge me all ya want. But I do.
Me too.
same
Me too boi
Same. It almost ruined my life xD
2020 here
One of my favourite parts of Skyrim is exploring dungeons (especially ones with draugrs, dragon priests and word walls).
This helps with writing my story thanks
Starts off with one of my favourites. "Beneath the ice"!
In skyrim here is where you will find these soundtracks more often. In forts and dwemer ruins you will most likely here the tracks Shattered shields and towers and shadows. In caves you will hear the tracks beneath the ice, Shadows and echoes, and death in the darkness. In ancient nordic tombs you will likely hear the tracks silent footsteps, Silence unbroken, and into darkness.
Silent Footsteps always sent a shiver down my spine. After hearing that for the first time, I was wondering whether or not I wanted to dive deep into a dangerous ruin.
I want a medieval cafe. These songs really spark ideas, wish me luck, adventure with you, hope this dream come true one day
I thought i was tbe only one with tris idea
“Let me guess, someone stole your sweet roll” Gets me all😅the time.
Playing this while in Elden ring dungeons just feels right
No matter how many times I listen to this soundtrack I Never get tired of hearing it.
Nordic Ruin + Silence Unbroken is absolutely my fav combo. It literally scared the shit out of me and was afraid to make even a step forward in the first ruin I heard it.
I started playing Skyrim in 2017- I was 7 years old. I was a Kajjit (I know I spelled it wrong but you know what I mean) named Speckles of Litterboxia. I stopped playing at level 9. This was the X box version- x box 360. I made a second account last year- Thistle Whitewood. I miss the game so much and I long for the day when I can get a new x box, make a new account, and go back to my old days working as an assassin for the dark brotherhood. Skyrim raised me when my parents couldn’t- the game understood my aesthetic and feeling when no one else would. This is the game that raised me, and continues to do so even though I haven’t seen it in months. Skyrim holds the happiness of my childhood, and I love it for that. Thank you for reading this omg- I just needed to think out loud, y’know? The Skyrim community feels so safe- every player cares for eachother. We gotta keep one another safe from this cruel world. I love you all.
Wow, awesome community. Someone in the comment is making fun of the Stormcloak's armor, which was currently worn by the person who recorded this video on KZhead. Someone else posts a photo of a dead Ulfric on Reddit and laughts. Someone else adds a video on KZhead "average imperial fan vs average Stormcloak enjoyer", someone else writes on Reddit that the supporters of the Stormcloaks are too young and stupid, on Reddit someone changes the name of Ulfric the Stormcloak to "Ulfric Stormcuck", someone else adds an image "average Ulfric fan vs average brunwulf enjoyer", someone else insults Windhelm by calling it the worst city in Skyrim, what a fucking awesome community, it makes me want to live in it 🤮 Someone posted a meme with monkeys with the caption: average Nords talking about politics, well you're a great fucking community, but seriously, you're the worst community I've ever met 🤮 You seriously offended my preferences in Skyrim 🤮
Could listen to this for a very long time, such beauty and brings a sense of almost peace to my troubled mind.
All I have to hear is the first couple of notes of "Silent Footsteps" and right back in the dark again, peering around corners.
Love falling asleep with these tracks playing behind.
I love the design of the Dwemer ruins
*By the divine! You won't leave Skyrim alive!!*
I like "Silent Footsteps"... I don't understand that why my friends are afraid of it. 😌👍
YESSSSSSSSSSS Was literally listening to the other Skyrim Ambience videos of yours at work when I saw this in recommended and flipped out. Thank you! Keep doing more!
Beneath the Ice will always be my favourite, such a dark magical wonder and mystery to it.
I miss this game so much, it was my first rpg and I remember enjoying every minute of the world to where I would just stop to take in everything around me.
Omg this was truly magical! I had it playing on loop all morning at work. Definitely a favorite!👍😍
6:32
Marc M mine too came here just for it
@@matthewadams9025 Reminds me Wolfenstein sountrack. same thing was used there
absolute eargasm
I came for this too. Love this game
It really is the best
This music should play every time I enter my bedroom lol
Each song that starts it's a new flashback, damn I love Skyrim, I can write a book with 200 pages, which page telling reasons to play Skyrim.
In the flickering shadows you could almost see them. In the dark ruins, their scent - decaying and decadent - was still present. There were aged footprints rimed with mud, and something else like wine-dark stains. I found bits of hair and broken bones. Cracked and yellow teeth had been thrown into a cobwebbed corner. I refused to imagine what they did to our people. I would not let my mind go there. I had a mission to finish. I resolved in my heart to see it through regardless of whether I lived or died. What they did to us was a sin. What I would do to them was revenge. I asked God for mercy on my soul. Then I crept into the black cavern yawning open before me.
Death and the Darkness still one of my faves :)
When "Silent Footsteps" starts playing, i allways feel like i'm uncovering a horrible secret.
Beneath the Ice feels like I'm journeying to the greatest depths of the Earth
Your compilations really help me to focus when I write. Thank you so much for taking the time to make all of them. Writing just goes a lot more smoothly when I play this in the background. You can't go wrong with Skyrim, especially considering it has an ambience that just can't be beat.
Is someone there !?
I guess im just hearing things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Must've been the wind...
Shouldn't have come here
I guess it was nothing....
Must have been my imagination...
The music is bringing back good memories of dungeons exploration. Awesome !
We all here for this 6:32
Another job well done. All that's left now should be the epic battle music.
6:32 is masterpiece.. feel like mystery,secret
Similar to 9:23 but not as good I think
A cold night...curled under a warm blanket...no job or anything to do but explore Skyrim.
