he's really not, morrowind and oblivion have really good fitting soundtracks. especially morrowind.
yeah, but that "danger theme" that plays every time you encounter an enemy gets really repetitive, and it breaks up the music very often. i ended up getting really annoyed with that theme.
it sounds really cheesy, but led zeppelin, iron maiden, all that shit is pretty appropriate when i'm playing. maybe not so much in the towns unless you're a merciless baby killer.
i always thought it would be cool in a game if you could designate a different playlist that would change for towns, dungeons, or combat.
