The Left Page & Here Be Media

Here Be Media - Episode 36 - Bethesda: Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who's the Pulpiest of them All?


Listen Later

Hello everyone!


Our first episode of April is a different one, if something we've been meaning to do for a while, more than talking about a game, it's a studio, so join us as we talk about Bethesda and their games!


Jumping off from our mention of Bethesda games and their connection to mods last month, and Leon's previous writing on Skyrim, we decided to dive properly into their games and their "style". We talk of narrative and engagement with the world, alongside what are some ways their big franchises of Fallout and Elder Scrolls succeed and fail to create interesting political and social narratives.


All while trying to understand what makes these games sometimes good, and sometimes fun, especially as we think of this idea of the "pulp" and how it helps to describe Bethesda and Fallout.


Have fun!
