"By choosing not to replace Oblivion Remastered's soundtrack, Bethesda made the allegations against composer Jeremy Soule everyone else's problem"


https://archive.ph/ZlUCr

Apparently they are also throwing a fit due to Nexus bringing back the male/female mod that restores the original games screen.

Where do these weirdos come from?
Like they stir the pot purposely? Are there that many idiots out there that would want to not have epic music because of the composer?

Of note: This shit happened in 2019 during "me too" crap. No court of law convicted him of anything.
These companies basically fired him over accusations. Then shit side of twitter/reddit/era had a feeding frenzy over it.
No trial, nothing. Same thing happened to Avellone but he fault back, Soule the composer of Kotor, Morrowind, Oblivion ,Skyrim , Guild Wars, Total Annellation, Icewind Dale, Dungeon Siege 1 &2, Company of Heroes, Socom, Prey, Peace Walker, Dead Rising 2, Supreme Commander, Some Wow and ESO content, vanished, after denying all allegations.

I don't by any of that crap as so many it turns out were false or copy cats for "the cause". False accusers should be trialed in court imo.

Even if any of this was true. Why vouch to remove something so epic? It boggles my mind. Why can't these people separate art from the artist?

I remember when pc gamer was an actual print magazine and a good one. When did they become and controversy spewing era/reddit like rag?
 
Hey PC Gamer:

Does every fucking thing need to be replaced because some jackoff did something bad in their lives? Good lord, leave it alone.

I do. I actually want them to bring him back for the next TES. Skyrim and Oblivion have some of the most mesmerizing pieces of music in modern gaming. TES just isn't the same without Soule's music.

I meant the controversy surrounding Soule, not the man himself. I could careless either way if they bring him back or not. But, I do love his music.
 
"tainted by association"

Does that mean all gaming journalists are cheap untalented slimecunts by association of the trash blog "journalists" we find in the gaming sphere?
 
It's complicated, the stupid answer would be that's why we don't get nice things. It's actually the artists who gives a shit about their work who cares about this stuff, not the publisher.

I would suggest they IMMEDIATELY discontinue consumption of all media and entertainment where all contributors haven't been personally vetted by them. Never know if some programmer or sfx editor beat his wife. Can't go around empowering the perpetrators!

political correct gamer? The thing these days we do not know if they mean it or just trying to get clicks. Everything is fake these days.
 
The Female/Body Type mod replacer is literally the most endorsed mod at nexus mod right now,

Agreed. And he hasn't been charged or formally accused of anything. He just disappeared.

All that virtue signaling des nothing for anyone.

They already made this decision. Plenty of corps are realizing now that you just ignore the cancel attempts and they fall away. Capitulate and you have to scrape them off.
 
Hey cultists, I thought we're supposed to separate the artist from the art?

That's what you harp on to everyone when it's one of your batshit looney cunts.
 
I hope Besthesda has the balls to bring Soule back for TESVI. The series won't be the same without him. Inon Zur can't hang.
 
Add PC Gamer writers to the list of those who deserve to be jobless. Them and Alyssa can panhandle by the interstate exit ramp like the worthless curs they are.
 
Had they used The Northerner fiasco as the reason then their argument perhaps could have had some merit, instead they use accusations that were never taken to court and nothing ever came out of them...

By all accounts Soule was an asshole, the way he treated his kickstarter backers was scummy as hell, but the fact the in the year 2025 people are still trying to destroy people's lives without due process pisses me off.
You'd think that with the rise of the right and conservativism throughout the west, these fools would know better than to try to keep doing this shit...

I do believe TES VI's soundtrack will be utter garbage compared to Skyrim amd Oblivion if Bethesda insists on using Inon Zur as their main composer though.
Soule will probably be unmatched in terms of music for this franchise.
 
Thank you for archiving the link, too often these people get clicks for their bitching. It's just another example of how people try to further weaponize "guilt by association".

Even if Jeremy Soule literally did all of it, the idea that I'm going to be thinking about his crimes from years ago while playing a remaster of a game I enjoyed back in college is ridiculous.

Or should we....what...remix the soundtrack with a different person, inevitably keeping the same basic sound, so we're just ripping off the guy's work while taking away his name in the credits? For some people's feelings?
 
One of the reasons I bought it (even though I won't have a chance to play it right away) was specifically because they kept Soule's music intact.
 
This is the 2nd hitpiece they put out for Oblivion, as OP indicated. This is the same magazine taht wrote about 800 articles about being a pervert in Baldur's Gate 3.

I'm tempted to buy the game out of spite and install the Nexus xir mod but I just don't like Oblivion.

From what I hear(don't know the full facts) the man was never convicted, and he was caught in the MeToo movement warpath more than actually proven guilty. That being said, he is irreplaceable in terms of musical talent and what he brought to The Elder Scrolls. I simply can't imagine playing Oblivion for aslong as I did or enjoy it nearly as much if I didn't hear his music in the background. I mean, I still have the whole Oblivion soundtrack on my phone as well as the Streets of Whiterun.

Until I hear it popularized in real life, people referring to each other as Body Type A and Body Type B, it should never be in anything. That should be a litmus test.
 
Fuck you for all "PC assholes" asking for this

Oblivion musics are truely part of the game, Skyrim musics push the art even further with it msterpiece soundtrack, just go to hell PC gamers asking for this, or more likely casual "politics gamers" from Retardera.

go fuck yourself middle finger GIF
