I think I must've had audio problems with Unreal, because I remember the sound but not the music, so I figure I must've turned it off. That or I turned it off to hear the ambiance better, or maybe I didn't feel like putting the disk in the drive all the time if that was a redbook or whatever game. That might've been the game I had when I was first trying out EAX and all the fancy shit it was supposed to do. As far as Morrowind, I played so much of it that the music basically just went away after a while, and I only would've noticed it if it were missing. For music in a relatively sedate RPG, that's probably a tribute in and of itself.
I'm always kind of amazed how FPS (and 6DoF) games consistently did a good job of putting their best foot forward on their first level audio track. Games from Terra Nova to Descent have had good music in the first level, which is of course where extra effort is going to be put for trailers and demos and all. I think Terra Nova even had dynamic music, which is something that I'm a huge fan of in action games. Also everything you did in that game had audio feedback, and all the variety of little blip beeps your power armor made as you did even simple things really was a neat touch for immersion. In most games, I think it'd be annoying as shit for everything you do to have its own little sound effect, but in simulator-like/pilot games I think it helps with immersion even if r
