Hi Adam! So happy to have the chance to talk today. Can you tell us about your ESO experience and what drew you to the game?
I originally started playing before One Tamriel, and I had no idea what I was doing. I got overwhelmed and quit. I came back in early 2016, watched a couple guides, looked at a build by Deltias Gaming, and decided to give it another shot.
What drew me back is I wanted an MMO that I could invest in. I made one character and did all the quests over the next three years essentially. I played by myself, but the experience was relaxing, and it was fun to complete everything.
How did you get your start as a Content Creator?
My friend and I started the Brah We Got This YouTube channel in college in 2015. We initially made Destiny guides and Let's Plays for the most part. Early in 2017, I made a Beginner Guide to ESO which saw a decent amount of success, but then life got in the way of my creative process, and I put my content on hold.
Once I returned, I worked hard on producing the highest quality content I was able to. I noticed that commenters would joke about making a drinking game for each time I said the word "Um.” I thought it was funny, but it also encouraged me to refine my later videos.
What inspired you to create “help” videos and guides for ESO players?
I recognized that there wasn't much in the form of videos for beginner content on specific aspects of the game. I felt that I could help convey the knowledge and tips I picked up over the last couple years playing the game, as well as through learning from watching other content creators such as Alcast, Xynode, Deltia, Dottz, Nefas, Hack, Lucky, and countless others. I wanted to support players that felt overwhelmed as I did and demonstrate that once you pick up the basics, there is so much fun to be had in ESO.
Which video that you’ve produced are you most proud of?
I probably would say my beginner series as a whole for this year, particularly the first video called "What Should You Do in Your First Hour of ESO." This video series is structurally a Let's Play where I create a brand-new character on the EU server and go step-by-step from level 1 to CP 160.
I strive to present a core learning point in each episode so players can see what choices I make when picking skills, morphs, passives, routines I do, and more. I have loved working on this series.
How has the feedback/response to your content been?
The feedback has mostly been overwhelmingly positive. There are obviously trolls on the internet, but for the most part, my community is one that wants to help others.
I am also touched when players come to say thanks for helping them in the game. That means so much to me.
ESO is an ever-growing, ever-changing game. What challenges do you encounter when creating guides for it and how do you overcome them?
The main challenge is just understanding that it's okay if you don't know everything in the game as a content creator, or even a player. I felt early on in my guides that I had to convey that I knew everything, but after a while I learned that it’s just not feasible. It's okay to say, "I don't know about this. Let me look this up, see what another creator says, and spend more time in the game finding this out."
I have to give credit to those creators I previously mentioned because they helped me learn a ton. They were key resources, and I think, as a creator, the key to mastering an ever-changing game of ESO is learning from one another.
What other content creators do you enjoy watching whenever you’re not producing a video of your own?
I really enjoy watching TimTheTatman, Harris Heller, and Josh Strife Hayes as non-ESO creators.
As far as creators for ESO goes, I always have a good time listening to Pain's music on his stream and popping into the Fox's Den with Ninetalefox and Mrs. Ninetales.
You often give advice about ESO-related material, but do you have any advice for burgeoning content creators/streamers?
I would say to be okay with knowing you’re going to make mistakes as a content creator/streamer. You’re not going to know everything, and you are going to get better and learn as time goes on. Your first video is going to be worse than your 100th video, but it's okay. Keep consistently making content, whether it’s guides, goofy videos, builds, website articles, etc. That will help you learn from your mistakes, and your content will improve over time.
The last piece of advice I’d give is to make sure to take time for yourself, your family, and your friends. Keeping your mental health high is vital for this job. It's okay to disconnect, unplug, and revamp. Your community will back you up. You are not a piece of entertainment to be consumed; you are a human being. Remember that.
Where can the ESOFam find more of your work?
So, I just started a new channel with a new video coming out this month called "Brah We Play This" where I play games for the first time and share my reaction to them. I also have a gaming podcast with Joe, one of my best friends, called "Lagged Out Podcast" on Youtube, Spotify, and iTunes. And lastly our website brahwegotthis.com.
Thank you, Adam, for taking the time to speak with us today. If you know a content creator who has helped you dive deeper into ESO and you believe the wider community should know about them, share it with us via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
