Even if they seem a little generic, maybe even predictable, at first blush. Whilst this is a standalone title designed to sit alongside, rather than directly follow, the original as a card-carrying sequel, New Tales from the Borderlands is astonishingly good at making you care about its people. It's one thing to cause a catastrophe because you hit X instead of B it's another to cause one because you mistimed grabbing a drink.īecause if it's not already clear by now: you will care about who lives and dies. This feature not only warns you when a QTE is about to appear, but it also tells you what kind of QTE it is going to be, giving you ample opportunity to prep your fingers in advance and be ready on the buttons, the stick, or the trigger. Quick Time Event Warning (selected from the settings menu) is a godsend if, like me, you have the reaction speeds of a limp lettuce, and routinely get lost in the long dialog and worldbuilding. Your every decision as both Rhys and Fiona will affect the people and world around you: this is a game where YOU are the final author in a brand new Borderlands story set on the unforgiving world of Pandora.It's possible my favorable outcome was because I'd played using a fabulous new feature that gives you a head's up that a QTE is coming up. You are Rhys…and you are also Fiona, because like every tale worth telling, there are two…oh, you read that part already? Well, it’s important to remember that there *are* two sides to every story, and you my friend, you will tell this tale, or…tales, through the choices that you make. Who is telling the truth, and why is it important? Lured into danger by a Vault key and all it promises, the unlikely duo are thrown together with a common goal and a huge amount of mistrust.
Set after the events seen in Borderlands 2, Tales from the Borderlands is about Rhys, a Hyperion company man looking to become the next Handsome Jack, and it’s also about Fiona, a Pandoran con artist out to score the biggest of all swindles. Especially one about a Vault key, the Hyperion Corporation, bandits, loot, gangsters, Vault Hunters, secret Atlas tech, explosions, getaways, extortion, betrayal, and mayhem. Like all good tales, there’s more than one side to a story.
