Some worlds in games seem lifeless, but for most games, background characters are part of what makes the games so vibrant and convincing.

Via Bioshock: Infinite, Transistor and Gears of War 3, Melek and her guest Jonathan Harth, a sociologist, analyse the different forms that these characters can take.
