Meh? Handsome Rhys would have just been Jack 2.0. And I'm over Jack. I like that Rhys was his own character, and I loved how he overcame Jack. And I don't think Rhys was ever supposed to be considered as bad as Jack? Vaughn actually has a line in the first episode where he says, "sometimes I forget you're pretending to be like them." But honestly, I had a hard time imagining Rhys being evil, even when I played my dick run. But I see him differently, so to each their own.
Well...I have a harder time calling an incredibly abusive parent a "flawed hero" or an ok guy. I know he hadn't pumped Angel full of drugs yet, but he still isolated her and used her to manipulate the first vault hunters. He had decent intentions for elpis, sure. But I think he was always an evil asshole, he just hadn't embraced it yet. Moxxi saw it, that's why she tried to kill him. Besides I prefer bad Jack. He's a damn fine villain. And I love the emotional nuance to his character. But I can't wait until we move the hell on. I want to shift the focus to the other prominent characters in the franchise.
Are you absolutely sure that it is only a brain scan... or the timeline you suggest? The only people that could answer that for certain are … morewriters from Gearbox and Telltale, but my logic was based on the quest you get on the pre-sequel from Nakayama himself. Some of the information given by the AI is incomplete and is given by a completely trustworthy AI persona. Of course a lot could have happened between the pre-sequel quest and the fall of Nakayama, but I'm more inclined to believe that Nakayama never abandoned the project given his obsession with Jack and that he added a few modifications trying to reach his lifelong goal: cloning and/or reviving him, and getting Jack to love him, what could be more perfect in Nakayama's eyes than a world full of Jacks
Ok, I agree on your thought of getting more Helios is coming down time, but still I'd rather complain about getting too little time than dragging the game out. But hey, maybe the "fall… [view original content]
I'd never played a Borderlands game until I tried Tales for free. I loved it immediately and bought the Season Pass just after episode 5 cam… moree out.
So then as I'm playing Episode 2, my mom of all people comes into the room, gets totally invested into the story, and watches me play the episodes over a period of a few weeks as if it were a TV show. Then she got me the Handsome Collection for my birthday, and she wants to play the Co-op.
I'm 23 years old, I feel that I should be horribly embarrassed by this.
Okay since this threads back I'd figure I'd make another list of confessions:
* I'm glad there wasn't a Rhys/Sasha or Rhys/Fiona kiss. … moreAs much as I ship Rhyiona and I'd go along with it, I'd just feel as if it would be unnecessary to me.
* I'm slowly liking Handsome Jack, I'm not going to excuse the shitty things he's done but I'm slowly liking him.
* Still destroyed him though.
* I am disappointed that there was no Lilith.
* Or no Mad Moxxi
* Or no Angel Ai
* When I found out who the Vault hunter was I immediately went back and spent my money.
* Episode 5 is no doubt my favourite episode, I also have the credit song stuck in my head.
* I'm still heart broke over Scooter.
* I cant feel sympathy for Loader Bot in episode 5 considering how much I hated loaders in BL2
* I would rather have a BL3 than a TFTBS2
*… more The Rhysha moments in episode 5 were forced, and i'm not even Rhyiona.
* Kroger needed more screen time
* I liked Vallory
* Scooter somehow is still alive
* I hated Lillith, she is the reason Jack is a maniac.
* I reeeeeeeeealy miss Angel
* Angel's animation is BL1 was creepy as fuck
* Booker Dewitt should have appeared in episode 5 to save the day (Get it, because Troy Baker plays Rhys and Booker. Ah, yuk, yuk, yuk ,yuk.)
* I wanted more Athena moments
* I ship Janey and Athena
* Brick is my favorite BL1 vault hunter
* I choose Zafords over Hodunks
* Jack deserved to live.
* I secretly ship myself with Handsome Jack.
* Ok nvm it's not a secret anymore.
* I was dissapointed of the lack of original characters t… morehat made an appearance in TFTB.
* I never really liked Athena, because of her serious nature.
* We needed more Dumpy screentime in episode 5.
* I kept the echo eye so I could get the Jackopedia back in some way.
* I hate it that I couldn't sacrifice myself for Jack, because I ruled Hyperion.
* Still waiting for the Loaderbot fighting scene.
* 5 episodes, almost a year and I still don't know why Loaderbots cost so much.
* I predicted Loaderbot to be the stranger.
* I cried when Helios fell to the ground.
* I cried when Loaderbot ''died''.
* I cried when I had to leave Handsome Jack.
* I cried in the credits because Tales was over
* I pretty much cried the whole episode.
* I never really loved Gortys, but I can understand why other people find her adorable.
The end
She's still serious in Borderlands 1 sadly, but she looks way different (You probably already know tho). She only appears in the General Knoxx DLC, not the main campaign.

The end
* Every time that Cassius says Huzzah in episode 3, I do the same gesture and shout Huzzah (can't help it)
* The first time I saw Fiona cra… morewling (the Gary scene) I had some thoughts that should not be discussed, plus my opinion on Rhys was lowered by the lack of reaction on his part
* I agree with Jack on one thing: Fiona is a con-artist babe
* I liked Sasha's "present" look (new haircut), I didn't like her initial appearance at all. Still don't like her personality too much though.
* Through all the game I wanted to press Krogger's chin button or at least get an explanation on that
* I didn't like Yvette from the beginning, her attitude just rubbed me in the wrong way (and I hate lunch leeches too, so no chance for her)
* I feel that Felix could be an interesting character to get to know more (Hacker, Tinkerer, Inventor, Con-Artist)
* I loved Nisha's references, I'm still crushed about her ending (considering that she was my first cha… [view original content]
* Does not want Seasons 2 for at least 5 years, Want to actually REALLY miss it.
* The first time to actually shipping in the videogame, book or any story ever. I'm not a lovely dovey person.
Rhys and Fiona is the best thing i seen in my life.
I'd never played a Borderlands game until I tried Tales for free. I loved it immediately and bought the Season Pass just after episode 5 cam… moree out.

I really thought Jack's "new body" was going to be that black-haired guy from episode 4, the one you can steal from when you get to the Hub of Helios(?)
I love that tat that Rhys got on his neck (kinda want one for myself)
I want season 2 to start off with athena's and janey's wedding and then bunch of crazy shit happens and so on
I was really expecting a legit fight between Fiona and Vallory (trailer got me hype for nothing)
I died a few times from in the beginning of episode 5 trying to get to the trap door (forgot the wasd thing lol)
I wanted a shirtless Rhys! (I wanted to see dem tats lol )
I laughed everytime Rhysquez died. The sound he makes is hilarious.
* Ship rhys & sasha.
* I'm happy with whatever people ship, everyone has an opinion no hate guys come on
* Never liked Vasquez but I … morelove patrick warburton (joe from family guy)
* Vaughn is the best, mainly cos its chris hardwick
* You know it's a good game when nolan north, troy baker and laura bailey are in it.
* Tiny Tina is my favourite borderlands character and NEEDS to be in TFTB!! "BURN ALL THE BABIES" "BOOTY LIKE POW!"
* I want more athena & Janey, maybe a wedding?
* I wanna know how big Rhys tattoos are. I'm really curious like everyone else
* Want more of the game characters in the next tales!!!
* Handsome Jack is the best villain/antagonist ever.
* Would have loved another episode (we all do, i think)
* Loader bot is amazing, I crack up laughing even after "Hi."
* Love the way they tied TPS & TFTB to the Borderlands timeline
* Probably the best voiced acted cast in a video game.
* Curious to know more abo… [view original content]
I really really want Finch and Kroger to survive the season
I mean sure, they're pretty much two disposable goons, but come on, it's the Adam Harrington and Dave Fennoy tag-team wonder-team
I also shipped Scooter and Fiona a little bit ... Scooter is adorable as hell. I couldn't resist.
I couldn't stand any of the Elpians. That accent was driving me nuts after a while. Janey was only given a redemption in my eyes because of Tales. Now I love her.
Holy crap, that eyeball scene in Ep. 3.
I freed Yvette, but I really would have left her to die on Hyperion if I didn't feel like it would be out of Rhys' character a little.
Handsome Jack = hot. Bad guy, asshole, but so hot.
I cried for him in Ep. 5.
Initially I held onto Rhys' eye drive thing, thinking there may be some way to 'reunite' Jack with Angel (based on his dialogue in the office). But when I realized all I did was trap him in there for eternity, I went back and crushed the damn thing.
I've been a fan of Troy Baker since he was in Akira Yamaoka's Silent Hill band. (Avid Silent Hill fan here.)
Rhys is totally my favorite character. I loved the arc and transition from Hyperion corporate dickbag to somebody with evolving morals. His story, to me, was all about climbing out of the shark tank.
Vaugh being paralyzed was the best ... and I totally exploited it by having the other characters mock him a little. " ... Enhance?" "Grghhhhhhhhhh!"
Brick and Mordecai were the highlight of Episode 4 to me. "Here comes the pain train!"
Bawled when Loader Bot 'died'.
Bawled when Sasha was 'dying'.
Bawled at the end because it was beautiful ... and it was over.
Have been sorely tempted to write some sort of crossover fanfiction between Fallout and Borderlands because that could get intense. But I fear I would run out of ideas, and that it would get stale ... (But I could totally see Macready hitting it off with Fiona.)
I replayed Episode 5 to see what would happen if I recruited Zer0. and I haven't turned back since. Seeing Rhys dropping Handsome Jack to fangirl over Zer0 was worth every penny.
My final team was Zer0, Athena, and Janey.
Janey is kinda hot.
As much of a douchebag as he was, I was a little fond of Vasquez.
I really don't like August.
I find it ironically appealing that Sasha is always saving Rhys' ass and not the other way around. You can clearly see who the man is in that relationship.
Gortys was ... adorable.
Shipped Gortys and Loader Bot.
I gave Loader Bot the tiger paint.
Also gave Vaugh new glasses. Best. Reaction. Ever. "Rrrrrrhhhhhhhhoooooooo yrhheeeeaa!"

Sorry! I just don't like her because of that. I also never played BL1 so maybe that's a factor.
She's still serious in Borderlands 1 sadly, but she looks way different (You probably already know tho). She only appears in the General Knoxx DLC, not the main campaign.
Yeah, i knew those things but i never knew her personality in 1.

I tried to explain the plot to my mom and she asked me to please stop talking about it.

YEAH
;3
Yeah.... one, but every time I play or watch a let's play.
I really like August and Felix.
I wish my mom would wanna play co-op......
Will never not laugh at this scene.
I really hope we can explore Helios crash site in BL3 (if it ever comes out).
Rhys' arm would still be there, creepy.
Oh, yeah, right. But still, Helios is (or was) huge, so that means a lot of time exploring a crash site, which'd be interesting.
Would be an awesome place to explore.
Legendary Loot!!
I want the remains of Helios to be the hub, with Jack as a side mission provider.
Because it's a super serious scene about 2 bros, providing eachother the super serious brofist.
Confession: I don't like Lilith
Well.
Have I got some terrible news for you, Deltino of the past.
Neither do I, really >.>
Who doesn't have crush on Jack? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
glances around
Psst... you wanna some Jack fic?
