Scara waited around Rhys' office pacing back and forth. She felt a little bit of dread from this as when she got the Ech0log from Thomas he sounded different. He sounded different from the moment the war between Maliwan and Atlas ended. He and Rhys did. They changed for the worst. "Come on guys..." She muttered as she thought about Wilbur. How does he see this? Does he know? Does he not? Her thoughts were interrupted by the door latch opening as she felt her chronal generator race. She walked in and folded her arms, putting on her usual snarky face. "Tommy, Rhys. What's up? Any missions you need me on? Any bounties?" She asked, looking at Thomas and Rhys standing next to each other as they watched out the window of their office. "Actually Scara, you can stop right there. We know now." Rhys stopped her as she tilted her head. "What? What do you know?" Thomas glanced at her and she knew that this wasn't going to be good. "You don't know? About the fact that you're a whole by product of a vault guardian? You never bothered to tell us?" He accused her as she gasped. Trying to find words she let her guard down as she sighed. "Well, I, Uh.." Rhys and Thomas turned around to stare her down as her tail was between her legs. "You guys never asked! And even if you did why would I tell you?! I mean it's not something I can lay on you both. It's personal. Why accuse me of it? I don't know much about it." "Because you're about to become a beneficial part to our plan." Rhys lifted up his robot arm to show Scara the systematics of their plan. She was horrified as it turned out they were going to continue what the first guy did to her. They were going to make her a artificial Guardian. "No!...You can't be serious! That would kill me guys! You.. I..." She was in pure shock as her hands shook. "You guys do realize that if you did this to me that I wouldn't be myself anymore. I would lose myself. You would lose me! I could die!" "Not with us stepping in." "Guys, please. This is unorthodox! You can't...I mean..." She took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. "This is the kind of stuff Hyperion would try to do. I'm probably wrong but it feels like it! Weren't we supposed to be better than Hyperion? Better than Jackass and Assquez?! Come on!" "Times change Scara. We're one of the most important companies in the galaxy now. We can't afford to lose to anyone now. Now you either accept this on your own accord or we make you do this." Thomas ordered as his tail moved slowly. "You're joking! You would do this to one of your best friends?! The one that saved your asses from Vazquez and helped you defeat The Warrior! Me! You know my condition!" Rhys and Thomas just looked down at her as she sighed, staring back at them with seriousness and sorrow. "If you guys are going to do this, you'll have to catch me first." Scara snapped her fingers making the PA speakers ring. It distracted Rhys and Thomas making them cover their ears as she ran out of the office. She ran down the hallways and she found Wilbur in the centre lobby. They were hiding underneath a bench as they also heard the ring of the speakers. She helped him out and brushed his hair out of his face. "Wilbur, I'm going away and I don't think I'm going to return here ever again. This is sudden I know but your dads aren't the same anymore. Promise me this." Scara held Wilbur's hand gently. "Any point you see me, hear me, feel me, smell me whatever.." "Do not let them know that you do. They'll probably hurt you. I love you little guy. Be safe." Scara gave Wilbur a hug as she got up and ran down another hallway, dodging the guards chasing after her. Wilbur just watched her go as they felt confused but scared as the last glimpse of Scara that he saw was the shuttle heading down to Pandora.

#tales from the borderlands 2

[hopefully-inspiring-persona]

It’s a crime that Tales from the Borderlands is not more widely appreciated.

I played the game 5 years ago and had recently bought borderlands 2. I spent 30 hours completing sidequest and the main mission only to lowkey be kinda dissapointed with the story. I was expecting something longer which ig is on me. it’s more of a shoot a lot first story second kinda game ig (not saying the story was bad. i really liked it and it’s characters, I just wished it was more fleshed out)

anyways, I then thought “hey, isn’t TFTBL set after this game? and sure enough it was, and so I hopped on my ps4 and redownloaded it and played it through again. all in one sitting. and my god was it just as good as I remembered.

Sure. There are some jokes that don’t really land, and some levels can be a bit confusing to figure out how to continue, and the animation hasn’t aged amazingly, but it’s probably one of the best stories tied to borderlands out there and if I am bold, one of the best telltale games released. I love The Walking Dead S1 and I’d have to replay it to be 100%, and trust me, WDS1 is still AMAZING, but I think Borderlands expands on what made Telltale’s games so good and used every aspect in the story to not only improve borderlands as a whole, but make a damn good story.

The dual protagonist idea was a fucking amazing choice. It not only gives insight on the Hyperion Corporation, something that was really fun to see, but also directly compares and contrasts the characters through story and mechanics. Also. The change in UI color and design depending on who you’re controlling was a really great touch. Just viewing this story through either Rhys or Fiona would have been probably been a good story, but allowing both gives it such a richness that is really nice. Also even when you are not controlling your other character, they don’t feel like they ever stray from how you play them.

Another thing I loved was the dialogue choices. This game. is so good. with it’s dialogue and branches. This is the part where I solidly think this is THE best usage of the Telltale storytelling technique and where it shines the most. The Dialogue doesn’t only give different characterizations for your character and effects minor beats, but allows you to literally control what tropes are in the game and what kind of character arc you want to play out. As someone who has been struggling with Dragon Age: Inquisitions’ roleplay, The sheer amount of control over your character was extremely refreshing and very easy to play out how I wanted it. Specifically in the scenes where you decide who you reveal jack to. The game could have very easily slipped into the trope of hiding a super important secret, but you can just, disregard it and decide to trust your friends, bypassing an honestly really annoying trope. I know one time I went to tell Athena about Handsome Jack and Jack literally smacked me into not telling her, which didn’t feel like a cop out at all and was really funny and honestly made me like the moment even more than trying to lie. It’s just so good. You can also have Fiona keep her trust in Rhys or immediately break it, which I also really fucking appreciated. The fact that you can control 2 vital character’s reactions to another character’s choice is honestly so nice to shape what kind of story you want to tell. And it never feels too forced, if anything, it feels almost freeing even withing the games confines of just 3 (technically 4) dialogue choices.

Another thing that this game is just. so good at, is it’s tone. Borderland’s plots do have a lot of emotional moments, but also keep a steady stream of humor, and this game is no different. There’s a lot of references, but also just, a lot of really funny dialogue. Even at the crucial moments they knew how to curate the tone. So, for context, I am SUPER picky about mixing comedy and drama. One of the huge problems for me in TAZ: Balance was how the boys didn’t know how to quit trying to make jokes and just let a scene be dramatic (which is why I love Amnesty so much, because I feel like they struck a perfect balance). The reason I bring up TAZ is because I feel like they have two similar tonal structures, but Tales from the Borderlands does it correctly. Even when there are jokes in the most dramatic scenes, they never take you out of what is happening. Like when youre talking with Jack about taking over Hyperion, Jack will always make snarky remarks no matter what, but those humerous remarks become threatening, like when you have a happy sounding song actually be about something really fucked up. The game tries to be funny, but never sacrifices important plot and character moments to do so. Even after the death of Scooter, one of the options of the flag to put in space is “See you, space cowboy” and you laugh at that! You see it and you’re like “LOL NO WAY” And not only is the line actually referencing his death, but it’s also a reference to that one atomic bomb thing AND it has genuine emotional weight! I will admit, his death overall is kinda weak, but the circumstances honestly don’t take away too much. Again, the writing isn’t flawless, but none of it is ever outright bad. Mid at worst. But anyways, even after you send out the space cowboy beacon, when you arrive on Helios one of the guards metions it and says “something about anime?” Which honestly made me laugh even more because not only is cowboy bebop cannon to borderlands but also Fiona has watched it (or she made the most unfortunate coincidental message). But yea. Tone is A+ and passes my picky scale.

I’m so sad that the second game is already noticeably not as good. I really appreciate what they’re trying to do, but the writing is just. really bad. I watched the demo and there was just, no charm. I watched it right after I finished the game too because I accidentally tumbled upon the news and was like “YO NO FUCKING WAY HELL YEA!!!” but I watched it and immediatly deflated. I was so dissapointed. I hope that the game itself “is good actually!” but I doubt it from the outcome of Borderlands 3′s plot and what I;ve seen so far. The only thing I can hope is they don’t botch the revisit of the OG characters and ruin it in retrospect.

Also. I care Jack. a lot. He’s so fucked up. but also. god damn I love that crazed lunatic. he is such a good villain. Also I love how Rhys kinda bounces off of him because he’s his idol, and Rhys comes from a kinda fucked up place, and so it makes sense for Rhys to trust Jack throughout the story. just ugh. I love the characters in this game so much. I think Jack in this game is at his best. He’s inbetween insane and human and it’s honestly so good. He’s consistantly a horrible person but your character actively has an excuse for you to feed into it and go with it. It’s just. such good writing.

OH I ALMOST FUCKING FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT THE EMBELLISHMENTS BECAUSE THEYRE TELLING A FUCKING STORY FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE!

The fact that the game will occasionally go waky because the character is telling it to make them look better than how it actually happened and the fact that the characters will break the story to correct eachother or make the other look worse is just. ugh. it is so good. And how we as the audience now can question some of the things we’re seeing because we are seeing the story through two unreliable narrarators, but also we get to see live reactions from Fiona and Rhys talks about trusting Jack and YOU GET TO CHOOSE TO EXPLAIN WHY HE DOES is honestly so fucking good. Again with this game having amazing roleplay potential. The Borderland’s world and humor really allows for the writers and story to do some really cool things, things that a series like the walking dead would NEVER get away with. One of my all time favorite scenes is the fucking finger gun scene. If you got this far and don’t know what I’m talking about, please fucking look up “Tales from the borderlands finger gun scene” on youtube because it is so fucking good and I still remembered it clearly 5 years later. Also another thing is I remembered A LOT of this game after so long. It goes to show just how impactful and memorable the game is. Rhys removing all of his cybernetics were so good. I’m so sad that TFTBL2 won’t continue their story lines. ugh. i don’t want to think about the wasted potential and how they could fuck it up. stop me.

Oh also another side note. I will note that there is an eeeeeh theme about this black goon that is constantly the butt of the joke of Fiona and is the only one of the two who is super villainized. I found his partner to be as corrupt but I feel like he definitely wasn’t as punished as the other dude was. He was still killed in the end and treated as a villain, but again, i don’t think as bad as the other guy. You can literally disfigure him and it’s a long running joke. Idk it didn’t sit too well with me. Also with Yvette I again feel like she was done dirty. Like, I am not saying black characters can’t be the villains, but that’s 2/3 POC main characters that are openly villianized and get a lowkey really bad end. Idk it just sat wrong with me on the playthrough. I still love Yvette though, her character besides that was good

but yea. i am so sorry for my rant. i just. needed this. this game is so good for absolutely no reason.

hesitant to play TFTBL2 not because I've heard it's not as good, but because I know I'll fall in love with at least two of the main characters, if not all three

Pticenoga (aka Hedwig), Vaughn, Rhys and Handsome Jack in the style of Atlantis: the lost Empire >:) I had an art block and decided to experiment a little - and drew Borderlands characters into Atlantis' screenshots (1, 2, 3). I drew the characters entirely and partially edited the backgrounds. Would you watch a movie like this? Also, maybe you'd like to see other Borderlands characters drawn like that? Please, let me know Pticenoga and Vaughn info is here
