Bethesda Talks About the Sound of Skyrim

Bethesda has put up a brand new video for the upcoming Elder Scrolls title, Skyrim, which comes out in a week for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The video takes a very in-depth look at the game's compositions, orchestrations and sound, with a look at the orchestra responsible for bringing the awe-inspiring vocals and epic instruments to Skyrim's trailer.

Lead designer Todd Howard and audio director Mark Lampert give us a good overview of the game's audio direction. Also featured is none other than the game's famed composer, Jeremy Soule, whose compositions have graced the likes of Total Annihilation, Icewind Dale, Morrowind, and Oblivion.

The dev diary also takes a great look at some of the voice acting talent for the game, which includes Christopher Plummer, Joan Allen, and Max von Sydow.
