What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Awesome show. Really contribute to my elder scrolls addiction. They’re really informative and I don’t know how they fit all this lore in their heads. Lotus and Tom are awesome dudes, and their voices aren’t as annoying sounding as a nirnroot.

Shiroininja · Dec 2024

R0b0ts With Zeros and Lotus the Reviven are excellent show hosts. I love listening to them and their other respective shows(Fallout lorecast and Tales of Tamriel) while at work. I started listening when the Fallout show came out and got the itch to learn more lore and found this show in the process. As my Fallout itch turned into my ESO itch, I found this podcast and have become even more hooked. Can’t wait to continue learning more, especially as I dive into gold road as ES:IV oblivion was my first Bethesda experience and my favorite game. Keep up the great work and thanks for all you do! 17/5 stars! [one for ever deadric prince (we forgot about the 18th star)] PS spellcrafting would never make sense in a Skyrim zone as they never had it in game, which is why Oblivion is better (and fitting that Gold Road got “spellcrafting”). So idk why lotus keeps saying that the College of Winterhold would be the best spot for spellcrafting, as Skyrim doesn’t have it :(

Beehndip · Jul 2024

I recently started listening to you guys during my 12 hour shifts, and also during my gym sessions. The lore and history of TES series has always been intriguing to myself. You two do a tremendous job at going into detail about these things that we all love, and putting them into a perspective many can understand. Keep up the good work! I would definitely love to see a segment done by Robots and Lotus relating the cultures of the races of Tamriel with real life counterparts. A cultural deep dive if you will.

Suspicious reviewer · Jun 2024

Do you need something to help you get through a long prison sentence you’re serving underneath the Dragonsreach of Whiterun? Or maybe your sweetroll was stolen and you’re looking for something to keep the mournful thoughts at bay? Well then, boy, do R0B0TS and Lotus have just the thing for you! This podcast is like a metaphorical party hat you can wear while you’re stuck in the dungeons of your mind. I’ve learned so much about the world of The Elder Scrolls that the Thalmor have been trying to track me down for weeks! But I’ll never tell them what I know, and neither should you after you listen to this show in its entirety. They discuss a great range of topics within the world and do a great job of presenting the information in a way that even a Nord could understand. So, whether you’re being hunted down by the Morag Tong or you’re stuck in a soul gem for all eternity, I highly recommend checking out The Elder Scrolls Lorecast.
