what is the general consensus, good, bad in any aspect?

also happy 4th everybody

Generally excellent. Some very minor mistakes in earlier videos, and they only give overviews, little in-depth anolysis, but the presentation is second to none, and the fact-checking has improved.

Only real issue now is the omission from earlier videos of ESO info, but I imagine they'll make updates eventually.

What I absolutely hate is the idiots who keep "recasting" the episodes. It does absolutely nothing but clog up the search results, making it very difficult to find new lore videos by others.

Very sorry if anyone here is one of those "idiots", but, well, you should know that what you're doing is unhelpful and extremely annoying.

Edit- And it should be kept in mind that sometimes they will pass along fan speculation as "rumors".

IIRC, the last time Shoddycast was brought up here was either hit or miss for the most part with him having a poor reaction when people decided to fact check him (Whether said fact checks were done in a respectful manner is another question). Not sure if it has improved or not, since I don't normally follow his videos for the most part.

The biggest mistake I'm aware of was that they said the Chimer were "physically indistinguishable" from the Altmer. That was an unsourced assertion which was on the UESP page for a while (it's gone now). ESO has demonstrated that the Chimer had a noticeably different hue from both Altmer and Dunmer (though we had every reason to believe this was the case before).

what I were to say I was Shodycast... what you say then?

...lol no im not
