That door creak is stock sound footage I've heard a million times, so it's 
funny to me.

My favorite part of Daggerfall was that for the first time in a CRPG, I 
created my own character class. I always did thief + stealth magic.

That door creaking noise sets my teeth on edge when I hear it in
movies, how much trouble would it be to actually record a different
creak once in awhile?  I actually heard it (far over-used) in a much
earlier game, don't remember the name but it was one of those early
point and click adventure/puzzle games that was only on the mac, I
assume that's where it's from but don't know.
