Trivia
The four demon realms of Oblivion (and their occupants) are based around the four classical elements: Earth (Solum/Ferai), Water (Aquis/Undine), Air (Aetha/Wraith) and Fire (Volca/Djinn).
The game contains music tracks by rock band 16 Volt. Some of the tracks presented in the game are:
- Alkali
- At the End (during credits)
- Blessed
- Happy Pill
- Suffering You
Most of the combat tracks are taken from the album SuperCoolNothing V2.0. The band also does a cameo in the game, playing in the club in the opening cut-scene.
The other music, the cinematic tracks, are composed by
Andrew Barnabas and performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus. A suite dedicated to its music was performed at the historic Symphonic Game Music Concert in Leipzig 2003.
Some amusing references in the game:
Before battling a guard early on in the world Aetha, Jen says "Hold it, Xena!" (in the English version). In that version she is voiced by Hudson Leick, known for playing the role of Callisto, Xena's arch-nemesis, on the TV show Xena: Warrior Princess.
When Jen acquires her Wraith form, she destroys a headstone inscribed Lara Croft 2003, referring to the protagonist of the Tomb Raider series.
