In fact, there’s a funny moment where Rhys rolls to the side to dodge a gun, and the shooter mocks the decision-making behind that. As per usual, there will be plenty of QTEs to tend with but nothing for too extended a time. Be prepared, though, because it won’t be a happy occasion. The final chapter of this part of the tale is a wild set of action scenes, and we get to see two of the original vault hunters make their debut. This really just maintains my discomfort for the juxtaposition of Borderlands’ off-the-wall source material versus that of Telltale Games in their series. But in an episode which focuses so much on character relationships, you’d think the writers might stuff the opportunity in elsewhere. Sure, plenty of games include the possibility to miss important backstory and other exposition.
Although it’s a heartfelt moment between best friends, it felt strange that it could be entirely missed based on player choices. Of the established characters introduced thus far, she’s the first one who lets us in, however briefly.Īssuming certain conditions, players may encounter a rather sensitive moment between Vaughn and Rhys, where the former reveals his insecurity. You also get to learn more about the nature of her relationship with her girlfriend, Janey Springs.
Athena, though impatient and abrasive, exhibits a nuanced maternal instinct for the quick-talker, and builds her up to defend herself physically when words would fail her. She was sent to build Fiona and Sasha up to be ready to be vault hunters, and it feels like an unlikely mix until Fiona and she get to work together to traverse a dangerous Atlas biodome. But for those who trusted Handsome Jack, be aware that three’s a crowd.Īthena’s presence turns out to be a high point in the story. Meanwhile, Rhys has the opportunity to get a little closer to Sasha if the player so chooses. That whole wild chase scene from the last episode was just a misunderstanding. Athena reunites with the team, and it turns out she’s actually a protagonist. That’s not to say nothing happens, of course. Hilarity ensues.Īll the real off-the-handle action is relegated to the opening and closing chapters, leaving a significant amount of slower-moving exposition to the bulk of the episode. You also will meet Gortys, who’s a precious little robot! With its introduction, the team ends up in pursuit of its remaining upgrades, which will supposedly lead them to a vault. As a result, she does something rather shocking, drastic, and violent to one of the cast.
But nevermind that! Here, you meet new characters, such as Vallory, dubbed the “Queenpin.” (See what they did there?) She is August’s mom, and she is pissed about that deal that went sour in Episode 1.
