Interviewing a Skyrim Newcomer in 2025 - Controlled Burnes Ep. 37

Controlled Burnes returns after a two-week hiatus as a result of Reagan's birthday and Andrew's illness this week with a unique spin. This week Andrew interviews Reagan about her experiences with Skyrim as a newcomer to the game 14 years after it initially released. The duo discuss the game's strong points including its RPG and skill mechanics, world-building and Reagan's particular appreciation for its ancillary activities, as well as its less successful elements including characters, storytelling and attention to detail. It should make for a fascinating listen for longtime Skyrim fans interested in hearing about a newcomer's perspective to the game all these years later.Controlled Burnes is a weekly hobby-list podcast with a particular focus on lists and topics related to video games, music, TV/film as well as other hobbies and aspects of pop culture.
