The Elder Scrolls/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crowning Music of Awesome: What did you expect? It's a Jeremy Soule soundtrack!
    • Eric Heberling's soundtracks from Arena and Daggerfall are also fondly remembered, and have been ported (either straight or remixed) over to the more recent titles in the series in several mods.
  • In Morrowind's Tribunal Expansion Pack, the Nerevarine (ie, the player) gets one when he kills Physical God Amalexia.
    • This is mirrored in Oblivion's Expansion Pack, when the player kills Jyggalag, a god even stronger than Amalexia. Of course, Jyggalag being Sheogorath, this also counts as a Tear Jerker to some..
      • He didn't necessarily KILL Jyggalag, just kept beating the crap out of him until he calmed down. Which is even more impressive, given that the source of Jyggalag's anger was his betrayal by all of his fellow gods, having the Order which he so loved taken from him, being turned into a being of Chaos (that which his entire purpose for being was to oppose), and being forced to watch himself build monuments to this Chaos, being let free once every era to try and fix what he had done, but only having enough time to destroy it all before reverting and watching himself rebuild it. The player's response? Essentially: "Stop whining, or I'll hit you again."
      • Also Daedric Lord don't die. They are just banished back to their plane of Oblivion.
      • Of course, the player isn't fighting a god in the physical realm. The player's fighting a god in his own realm, at full strength.
