.... Am I the only one who plays games on mute?
Mute? Yes.
But turning off the music is the first thing I do in most games. Still only know the menu track from Skyrim - wich, admittedly, is quite catchy.
I much rather have the pure atmosphere of the gameworld.
I don't know why so many people are downvoting this. Most soundtracks in games are immersion breaking and sometimes downright annoying. I can only enjoy the *really good* soundtracks that are (usually) context dependent, like those in Witcher, Icewind Dale, Unreal/Quake, and Morrowind/Skyrim. I'm currently playing ToME and turned off the music within the first 5 minutes because it's so bland and repetitive. I could never stand the music in Ultima 7 for more than 2 minutes. Hearing the same 15 second midi track of 'Rule Brittania' and whatever the combat theme was looped over and over again was pure torture.
