![]() The writing is wonderfully on point, successfully seeping up the off-kilter but still hilarious tone of the first Borderlands entries and incorporating them into Tales. #WILL THERE BE A TALES FROM THE BORDERLANDS SEASON 2 FULL#The important thing that Tales manages to accomplish is that it still gives players the full story, but certain choices can impact how well you understand the characters that play into said plot. Indeed, some characters can be killed off or certain encounters can be skipped entirely depending on what you choose. In contrast to the irreverence for choice consequences found in the first season of TTG’s Walking Dead (which many gamers griped about), Tales from the Borderlands feels like it gives players plenty of choice without hobbling them at the finish line. Regardless, the decision trees for dialogue and paths are much more robust than in prior seasons. There are some opportunities for more complex elements such as computer hacking (Rhys’ expertise), but it doesn’t quite get as fleshed out as one would hope. ![]() The game play sticks to the tried and true TellTale formula in that it’s generally a point-and-click adventure with tons of dialogue choices and quick time events. In addition to Rhys and Fiona, brand new characters including Fiona’s sister Sasha, Rhys’ buddy Vaughn, Sasha’s boyfriend August, friendly protector Loader Bot and many more give a substantial contribution to the story of Tales. Together the protagonists meet several familiar faces from prior games as events unravel, but thankfully none of the cameos feel like they completely overshadow the new characters Tales is introducing. Rhys starts off at the mercy of an office rival for a promotion, comes up with a plan to snag a big Hyperion deal out from his superior, and eventually ends up on a dangerous hunt for an elusive Vault with Fiona. Tales from the Borderlands departs from TTG’s usual grim repertoire and embraces an action-comedy nature. Both serve as two sides delivering the large, adventurous story behind Tales, and thus two different characters to play each episode. Players get introduced to Rhys first, a middling Hyperion executive attempting to climb his way up the corporate ranks, and then to Fiona, a Pandoran con woman struggling to finally snag a big score. The game’s events take place after all three Borderlands entries, in which Hyperion executives are locked in a power struggle for who gets to take over after the death of their charismatic and evil leader, Handsome Jack. Unlike other TellTale Games series, Tales from the Borderlands embraces humor, heart and adventure from beginning to end. The fifth and final episode of Tales from the Borderlandsreleased last Wednesday, officially finishing out the first season with a bang. ![]() Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn Email ![]()
