FiringSquad: Jeremy, you have written the score for a game that's already being called the best game of 2006. Did you know while creating the soundtrack that you would be making a game that would get so much critical praise?

Jeremy Soule: Well, the game was certainly a home run according to many reviewers and fans. I don't want to speak for Todd Howard, but I am sure that everyone at Bethesda had a feeling that they couldn't take their success with Morrowind for granted when it came to Oblivion. I've written music for some very successful games but I never had a feeling that Oblivion would be an easy project. The number one thing that drove me to improve my music was knowing that there were super talented people working very hard to make this game. I didn't want to let them down. Their work was an inspiration to me.
