This week's machinima is made in Skyrim, and whilst its a little older, it shows off beautifully the quality of the game, characters and lip sync capability. The film, by Wanderersofthedas was released in 2015, and was made using lines drawn only from the game's NPCs. It makes for an oddly familial campfire conversation, notwithstanding the numerous references to in game lore. Do you and add your comments on our channels, as usual.

4:12 Schizophrenia!
6:37 The role of the campfire, and familial dysfunctional conversations
8:05 Attention to detail, nah. Do you need acting to convey a story??? In the days of ElevenLabs, would this kind of thing ever be acceptable. Would following a main character have enabled a story to be told?
11:09 The narrative arc is missing, but its dysfunctionality is its central charm
14:09 Discussing a creative strategy: choosing the lines for NPCs and the lip sync, identifying the modding tools
