Can you guys recommend some good channels? I am watching Gingy occasionally, but I find his style a bit too dry.
Edit: thanks to everyone for sharing your suggestions! I will check them out!

If you’re interested in Skyrim, Fudgemuppet is awesome. They’ve made content for what must be a decade now, discussing all kinds of aspects of Elder Scrolls games with a focus on Skyrim - from lore to builds to discussions of the upcoming TES IV. Can’t recommend them enough to get a good grasp on Elder Scrolls lore.
Ghostcharm is also an amazing content creator who makes, among other formats, “villainpedia” and “heropedia” entries for video game characters and explores the different facets and nuances of the discussed characters. Some of the characters are Glados from Portal, Mancar Cameron from Oblivion or even more nuanced characters like Arthas from the Warcraft series or the Daedric prince Sheogorath from the Elder Scrolls (more specifically the Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion). Really interesting lore and analysis videos, huge recommendation.

Luetin09 for Warhammer Lore.
Jorphdan (the ph is silent) has dozens of videos exploring the lore of the Dungeons and Dragons multiverse. Those worlds have been the setting for enough videogames that I think it applies.
You might also check out Eckhart’s Ladder. He focuses primarily on Star Wars but with some digressions into Halo and other science fiction universes.
One of my personal favorite gaming essayists is Grim Beard, though his particular style may or may not gel with you. His videos are generally about a single game and often encompass a game’s conception, development, gameplay, reception, and legacy. It’s not exactly a lore channel, per se, but I feel like it might be in the ballpark of what you’re looking for.
