Season 1, Episode 05

May 14th 2021

Despite it only being a few days since the last episode I had produced, I really wanted to talk about one of my favourite franchises, and the launch of the Legendary Edition seemed like the perfect time. It may not be as popular as Star Trek or Star Wars, but I honestly love this series despite its flaws, and think the universe created by Bioware is one of the most richly developed I’ve seen in a short space of time. As a result, I just wanted to show it some love.

I tried to make this episode a bit more special, with readings, and different music, to make it stand out, and for the most part I think I was pretty successful. Several episodes I would release later would be much longer than this, which is funny as I thought this episode was one of my most indulgent at the time.
