To try and solve this problem, Rhys jabs the ID chip they found earlier, wantonly into his skull… and promptly passes out. Of course, the box is locked and there’s a bomb in it that will go off if it’s forced open, but THEY don’t know that.įor a brief moment there, everyone is worried that they won’t be able to track where the money is going. Oh did I mention that bandits stole the money? Well they did, thinking it was just a mystery box. More hijinks ensue, resulting in Rhys and Fiona teaming up to try and get the money back from bandits. In fact, pretty much every other event in the game is punctuated with “some bandits try to kill you now.” Then he tries to make the deal, but a poorly placed EMP makes his electrical arm short out, making him drop the fake vault key, revealing it was a forgery, and then… some bandits try to kill him. Then he wanders through a museum and picks up a random janky ID chip from a dead Borderlands 2 DLC character, and then some bandits try to kill him. Through some absolutely hilarious hijinks, Rhys manages to insult a bunch of bandits who try to kill him. They were raised by a master thief and tinkerer, let’s call him “Uncle Backstabby.” Fiona and Sasha are all absolutely certain that Uncle Backstabby would never betray them… certainly not for a boat load of money… like the boat load of money Rhys and Vaughn embezzled.

Unfortunately, the vault key was a fake created by Fiona, a surprisingly hot grafter chick, and her sister Sasha, an equally surprisingly hot grafter chick. Vasquez is making a deal for a vault key down on Pandora, and Rhys decides to try and buy it out from under him by embezzling a boat load of money. They are out to screw over their boss Hyperion Douchebag #3, Joe Swanson from Family Guy… I mean Vasquez. The game follows the adventures of Rhys, Hyperion Douchebag #1, and Vaughn, Hyperion Douchebag #2. While Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is satisfying every shooter fan out there, Tales from the Borderlands is an actual sequel style sequel, even though it’s still told via flash back and you never really get to shoot anybody. GO AWAY IF YOU DON’T WANT ANY TALES FROM THE BORDERLANDS SPOILERS!!! Then again, the name of the piece is “SpoilSport” so… I think if you keep reading you will get what you deserve.Ī long time ago in a galaxy far far away, Gearbox decided to milk the Borderlands franchise for all it’s worth. But since we are trying to be nice, I’ll warn you again. Good thing this isn’t an official review then. Telltale Games always asks us to not spoil their games in our official reviews.
