He reflects on what made the original game such a cornerstone of RPG history, breaks down what's new in the remaster, and explains why this release hits a nostalgic high note for longtime fans.

Add-on content for video games is often worthless, but it can sometimes go very, very right: just look at the DLC catalogue for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It infamously introduced the gaming landscape to the concept of horse armour, or paid cosmetic items in single player titles, which was widely condemned as a cynical cash-grab (even so, the concept ended up being so lucrative that it survives to this day). But it also gave us Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles, establishing a familiar pattern of big games having a medium sized expansion set within the existing map, and a larger, quasi-sequel sized one set in its own brand new area. Starfield's recent DLC, Shattered Space, hasn't gone down as a vast improvement on the base game, but it may well be the vanguard of a much bigger (and potentially better) expansion coming down the road. Lord knows the potential is there. But that's by the by. The question I'm asking our esteemed podcast panel today is: which DLC expansions have been better than the base game?

Who better to dig into creating villains with than Bruce Nesmith - the man behind the Ravenloft Boxed Set? For those who don't know, Bruce started out in tabletop RPG design at TSR. He worked on MANY different products, but most notable (to me anyway) was his early involvement in the Ravenloft setting. In 1995 he made the switch to computer games by joining ⁠Bethesda Game Studios⁠ to work on Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. He remained with Bethesda until recently, working on Oblivion, The Shivering Isles, and being the lead designer on Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Most recently, he has ventured into novel writing, with his trilogy Loki Redeemed. The final book, Ymir's Return, is released this week! In this episode we dig into, amongst other things: Bruce's starting point when creating a villain, Motivations and making believable villains, Do you need a great villain for a great story, The differences between novel and game villains, Bruce's favourite Elder Scrolls Online villain, Ravenloft (we talk about Ravenloft a lot) villains, settings, and the great Castle itself, And we wrap it all up with Bruce Nesmith's Six Keys to a Great Villain!

This week I sit down with Bruce Nesmith to discuss what he has learned from his lifelong career in game design as well as what it is like moving into novel writing in his "retirement" years. For those who don't know, Bruce started out in tabletop RPG design at TSR. He worked on MANY different products, but most notable (to me anyway) was his early involvement in the Ravenloft setting. In 1995 he made the switch to computer games by joining Bethesda Game Studios to work on Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. He remained with Bethesda until recently, working on Oblivion, The Shivering Isles, and being the lead designer on Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Most recently, he has ventured into novel writing, with his debut novel being Mischief Maker: Norse Mythology Reimagined. He followed that up with Odin's Escape and is working on the third novel in the series.
