    That was my thoughts, exactly. I'm not obsessed with shipping, but I thought that was gonna be a thing throughout the game. Then they shipped Rhys with Sasha and I just rolled with it. I'm honestly surprised when I saw how popular this thread was about how many people wanted these two together instead of Sash. Now again, I'm not obsessed with shipping, (Especially since it gets lewd one place or another) but I've learned to respect other people's opinions. I'm all for seeing what all they do plotwise with both possible relationships.

    EDIT: The part where I said "my thoughts exactly-" I meant with the person who said they'd be together since their first scene together

    She's like, "If we make it out of this alive...I will eat your face." I know I've said this 67,384 times, but... -deep breath- There is no way anyone can convince me that Rhyiona wasn't the intended pairing ALL ALONG.

  • You know, this is something I have to say here:

    There is a reason why a ship hits you in the feels. And I'll explain why these ones get to me.

    Snow x Bigby, for a start, it was because in TWAU they both clearly like each other, and clearly the attraction is a mutual one, but they both won't say shit because it's weird for them as people who have gone through the grinder of a tough life. Then I read Fables, and holy fuck my heart melted into liquid butter.

    Volume 3 of Fables, has a cover that always makes me sad but happy when I see it. It's just Snow looking terrified with Wolf Bigby next to her growling. Now this Volume is where it pretty much becomes official in Fables, that Snow x Bigby is a thing, because something happens that affects them both forever.

    Now afterwards it gets sad, They have a fight and they both leave. Snow goes to the Farm and Bigby leaves the country! 3 years later they reunite, and all that time apart, they both wanted to be with each other. So when he comes back, it's true love forever more. Beautiful, I think about them every single day.

    Now Rhyiona is different to me, it doesn't hit me as much as Snigby does, but that's cuz TWAU and Fables take their relationship very seriously, but TFTB takes romance with a small pinch of salt. It's not THAT important to the plot, it's just there. But Rhyiona is special cuz they clearly like each other, even if they won't accept it. Fiona definitely likes Rhys, though it may not actually be love just yet. Rhys seems undecided as fuck! He doesn't know whether he should be Fiona's accomplice or friend, let alone her lover.

    Should they be in a relationship? Hell fucking yes! Sasha in my eyes is too girly and almost too young-in-personality for Rhys. But Fiona is more mature and is actually more like Rhys in a way. Plus, Rhys spends more time with Fiona than Sasha, so why the hell would he be interested in the other sister?

    Also like someone pointed out earlier today, Fiona almost seems to be jealous that Rhys likes Sasha. Maybe even because Rhys isn't checking Fiona out at all, and she feels self-conscious because of it... :'(

    What do you think guys?!

    Shipping aside, I think Fiona's feelings, at least to start, are more of a strong respect and friendship. She sees a guy from Hyperion who has come down to her planet, proven himself to her, and slowly changed his motives from money and personal gain to loyalty and friendship and made a name for himself outside of his old Hyperion image.

    For Rhys, I think it's kind of the same way. He was expecting to find nothing but killers and bandits down on Pandora, but what he found was a couple of sisters who care about not only each other, but he and Vaughn, and the other people who helped them. Sure, they're criminals, but they're not cold-hearted.

    Both of them had to look beyond their assumptions, and in doing that, they found that they could rely on and trust each other. I agree that they should be in a relationship more than Rhys should be with Sasha. I like Sasha, as a character, don't get me wrong, and I understand where Telltale was coming from, giving us a semi-planted romance with her.

    But in terms of actual personality, I think Fiona is much better suited to Rhys. They are very similar. But they're also just different enough to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. Sasha always seemed less mature, like you said, and just something about seeing her in a relationship with Rhys rubs me the wrong way for reasons I can't quite put my finger on.

    Besides, knowing Sasha, she'd get bored, I think. She wants to be where the action is, fighting and generally being a badass. Not that Fiona doesn't, but Fiona is much more content to sit and think things through before acting. I feel like she would be happy spending time with Rhys while he went about his corporate duties (whatever those are), whenever she had time off between Vault hunting missions. I feel like she and Rhys would be able to entertain themselves by virtue of their own personalities, whereas Sasha would get fidgety after a while.

    The way that Rhys was looking at her throughout the scene... you just can't tell me he's NOT feeling something for her.

  • Well Borderlands universe has never been about the romance. IMHO, the Borderlands Universe is a lot harsher world than the other two you mentioned, corrupt mega-corps control everything, the only planets where they don't rule everything are ones like Pandora where it's pure chaos. Though it's sometimes hard to see it through the humor and when your a billionaire death machine. Hence why I loved the idea that neither Rhys nor Fiona were Vault Hunters cause they can't just shoot their problems away. But even the Vault Hunter's life is very hard and trying, but they really bond with each other because of the shit they go through, I love that Lilith, Brick, and Mordy are Super BFFxForever. I love the idea that Axton acts like Gaige's Dad, or the same with Brick and Tina (well that's more of a brother sister in my opinion).

    Got off track, where was I?

    Of course Fiona is jealous that Rhys takes an interest in Sasha. I got annoyed with Sasha too, when she had 3 different guys ogling her but no one noticed Fiona. Sasha isn't Moxxi (deja vu), she's more of a self reliant tomboy, which I normally am attracted to, not the over the top sex appeal that the writers seemed to be making her(more deja vu). As far as writing goes, they did a good job of giving Rhys plenty of times with both. In truth, I can understand where it's awkward for a writer where you have to come up with a conversation for 2 characters where both can have multiple potential lines. I also get that gameplay wise, it's a little redundant to have the 2 playable characters in the same spot all the time.

    Thank you. Someone else said it. Part of me is annoyed because she's the one wearing the cut-off shirt and Fiona's outfit is fairly modest, but that could just be me reading way too far into character design. If I had to pick between the two sisters, I'd definitely go with Fiona. Her personality just seems a lot more interesting to me.

    Which then brings up, well, okay, are the guys only after Sasha because of how she looks? Is it a sort of gut-reaction, "oh, she's cute" thing that they're doing? Because I see Sasha as the type to attract a lot of crushes, but not a long-term relationship (sorry, Sash). Fiona, on the other hand, once you earn her trust (and, by extension, her love), you're not likely to lose it too fast, as evidenced by Felix, and Rhys. My Fiona, at least, understood what Felix was doing when Sasha was unwilling to look deeper than the surface. In Rhys' case, even though Fiona seemed hurt and betrayed in the present after they were reunited, once the Vault was open again, she quickly understood that this was, in fact, the same Rhys she'd come to trust earlier.

    I agree, but there is romantic implication, and I'm not just saying this because I wish it, I think it to. Adding to what you said, those things, the trust that's built, seeing multiple sides of someone, especially their faults and still sticking with them can develop strong feelings. They're next to constantly around, or in contact with each other. They're dialogue as well. They're together and they know it. Inseparable and connected and destined to experience adventure together. Especially how they mimicked when they found the, was it Gortys key?(inside the old Atlas place), and when they opened the chest. Remember that?(warmed my heart) It's hard to describe, but that connection between them and simply how they talk to each other and act around one another is what I think makes people ship them so much. You can feel it, it's that feeling. I'm not sure if this is a good example, but Dean and Castiel from Supernatural? Their relationship/connection just has this extra spice or something that gives it romantic flare even though it could also be hardcore platonic fluff or whatever. Plus Sasha doesn't seem to care about Rhys romantically at all, the whole thing felt practically shoved in there, I mean, That one part where Sasha was ready to leave him in a heartbeat without any concern when FIona was more hesitant and on his side, and depending on some choice, when she says,"I thought you were dead" hugs Vaughn instead. She just, doesn't have the feeling. Now they have a more friendship, I might even say good acquaintance relationship thing going on. @HazzatheMan

  • There is definitely romantic implication between the two, yes. The trust and friendship that they have could (and....will? hopefully?) turn into something more romantically solid as they spend more time together. I'd meant to come back around to that, but got carried off on a tangent, lol.

    And oh dang, you mentioned the "it's the last one, let's do it together" line.....yes. That was probably the best moment in that entire Vault scene. They have great chemistry together, which is what makes Rhyiona seem (at least in my eyes) much more plausible than Rhysha.

    I think Sasha is a lot more fickle, and unforgiving, than Fiona, which could be a problem when it comes to Rhys. He's prone to making mistakes. Sometimes huge ones. He needs someone who is willing to work it out with him and stick around even though he may have screwed up. And Sasha does not seem like that kind of person.
