![]() Can you imagine the travesty that the game would have been if someone else had tried to be Scooter? The mere thought makes me shudder. The original voice actors returned for this project, so Handsome Jack, Moxxi, Scooter and Athena all sound like those we’ve known for a long time. The best thing about Tales from the Borderlands is the return of characters that we’ve met previously in Borderlands games. Many things transpire (I’m not going to go into spoilers, in case you haven’t played the game) and the upshot of it all is that Rhys ends up with a hologram of Handsome Jack that appears and talks to him, much to the consternation of the rest of the party. However, the other lead character, Fiona, has made a fake Vault key with the aid of her sister Sasha and mentor Felix, this is what Rhys has come to buy. Rhys takes it upon himself to foil this plan, and with the aid of a stolen briefcase full of money, he heads to Pandora to try and buy the Vault Key first. ![]() He is thwarted in this by Vasquez, who has a plan in motion to buy a Vault Key. One of the main protagonists is Rhys, a Hyperion employee who has been working his way up the system for years, and with the absence of Jack, sees an opportunity to take over. With the Vault open and Handsome Jack gone, the discovery is made that there are other Vaults in the universe that remain to be opened the hunt is on for a Vault key. The story in Tales from the Borderlands is a new one, set in the wake of Borderlands 2. Set in the aftermath of Borderlands 2, Gearbox were interested in having their universe fleshed out, as first person shooters are not known for their character interaction, so with this in mind Telltale, with their emphasis on story and story driven games, would be an ideal partner. Telltale and Gearbox had worked together previously, when Claptrap was a character in Telltale’s Poker Night 2. Yes, at the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards, the idea that would grow into this game was conceived, and then fleshed out over the following two years, culminating in release. Right guys?.The idea behind Telltale’s Tales from the Borderlands was born out of a night at a games award ceremony, where Telltale and Gearbox happened to be on adjacent tables. TL DR: Scooter is definitely 100% still alive. HE'S BEEN KIDNAPPED AND IS BRAVELY RESISTING CRUEL HYPERION TORTURE WHILE WAITING FOR THE VAULT HUNTERS TO RESCUE HIM. ![]() This detail was clearly intentional.īut what does this mean for our brave hero? How else would he be able to mount an Oz kit inside his wrist? How else would he be able to project a holographic Oz helmet to fool us all into believing he was breathing air? It's not like TellTale has been randomly filling our screens with poorly animated BL assets with the expectation that we'll just throw money at them anyway. ![]() The evil Hyperion robot people who eat metal out of the garbage and stuff have kidnapped our beloved Scooter and REPLACED HIM WITH A ROBOT IMPOSTOR. Therefore, this peculiar arrangement can only mean one thing: HOWEVER, upon closer examination you will notice something very wrong.Īs we all know, and as I'm sure TellTale is aware through their extensive research of the BL universe (please ignore the Hyperion shotgun firing energy balls, DPUH firing normal bullets, Torgue crossbow, etc etc), Oz kits will only function properly when mounted securely on the user's shoulder. This screenshot depicts our brave hero doing battle with the evil rocket booster that cruelly took his life so tragically early. ![]() I know the recent episode broke the hearts of many of us, but it seems that while our vision was impaired by the endless streams of tears we missed one very important detail. ![]()
