I've got 900 hours logged in Skyrim, and I still have never finished the main quest, the thieves guild questline, the College of Winterhold Questline, past the first mission or 2 of the Storm Cloak Civil War (I always join the Stormcloaks, someday I'll try the Imperials), and never gotten past the abandoned shack for the Dark Brotherhood (mainly because I like playing characters in the early stages).
Now I'm in it to see all that missing content, plus my several quest mods I added.
But music, music has gotten quite dull. First off medeival sounding, or nordic music isn't really my thing, and 900 hundred hours of the same 60 tracks or so, yea I've heard everything music wise this game has to offer to the point that I often no longer wear my headphones when I play which probably hurts immersion.
Now that I'm using the Personalized Music Mod, I've decided to put a small list of songs I'm going to add and if anyone else has some ideas, feel free to add them.
Carmina Burana - This song is so epic in nature and I believe it's one of the few songs that is truly "old" in that it predates Bach or Beethoven, that most people still know of to this very day even if they don't know the name. THink the intro to Jackass the movie (the first movie) if you need to know what song I'm talking about. Probably a song that's only appropriate for dragon battles.
Theme to Conan the Barbarian - I edited this track to skip some of the quiet parts at the very beginning to just get into the action stages. I think this is a great addition, it's so loud though that I'm probably only going to use it for dragon battles.
Theme to Dr. Zhivago - This song, Lara's theme, well I watched all 4 hours of Dr. Zhivago, and the director really gave you a sense of the coldest regions and war torn parts of Russia around the time of the Bolshevik revolution. I think this song may be ideal for The Pale and maybe the Winterhold reaches of Skyrim. Has a bit of an icy sound to it IMO, albeit kind of upbeat (I can attest that virtually no songs in Skyrim are what I consider upbeat except maybe Tavern music).
Theme to Monty Python and the Holy Grail - This has been my intro song for the longest time, but I never put it into the game. It has a total medeival sound to it, once again it's also much more upbeat or energetic than any other Skyrim song. To me this is a must have for any Skyrim Character playthrough. It's great music for exploring just like King Arthur and his men when they went in search of the Holy Grail.
I've been looking into other pieces, I'd like to implement the theme to Lawrence of Arabia, it has a sound to it that makes me think of endless deserts, so I think it would be more befitting to someone who did the country of Hammerfell for a mod rather than Skyrim, but I may figure something out. I'm looking into Ben Hur's theme and the theme from The 10 Commandments.
A lot of people recommend music from the production company of Two Steps from Hell, however, no piece has really stuck out to me like Conan the Barbarian's theme or Carmina Burana. I may have to spend more time listening.
I may have to check out soundtracks from 300 and The Lord of the Rings, and for fun, I think I may add "Go Where Eagles Dare" since that was used in the WoW Funeral Raid youtube video, I think for me it now is a must have song for any Medeival Fantasy world game even if it doesn't quite fit the lore.
