Back to the Roots

Deutlich umfangreicher scheint da der Score zu Dragonborn. Dieser DLC verschifft uns nämlich in eine komplett neue Region … beziehungsweise eine altbekannte: Denn als Schauplatz des Geschehens dient die Insel Solstheim, die ein wenig an das von den Dunkelelfen bewohnte Morrowind erinnert. Das wird nicht nur in der Optik deutlich, sondern auch bei der Musik: 7 der 14 Tracks sind direkt aus dem OST zu The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind entliehen, weshalb uns hier Klassiker wie The Road Most TravelledJeremy Soule5, Blessing of VivecJeremy Soule3 and Silt SunriseJeremy Soule4 begrüßen.

But there is also something new, which is fortunately much more exciting than what was on Dawnguard. Because this album is a gamerip, I'm not sure which title is the correct one, which is why I've simply noted both: Under Redoran Watch / Returning 400 Years LaterJeremy Soule4, Telvanni Tower / Arriving in SolstheimJeremy Soule4 and The Moesring Mountains / Dragonborn’s EndJeremy Soule4 are pleasantly soulful, Ashfall / Eldritch DepthsJeremy Soule3 nicely spherical and Apocrypha (Realm of Knowledge)Jeremy Soule2 eerie enough for a Daedra without drifting into the creepy. The rest, as I said, is already known from Morrowind . All in all, nice to have, but unfortunately there are no killer tracks like in the main game.
