You see,
God doesn't help little frogs.

He helps people like me.
As a leader, there are times where you have to knowingly keep key information secret from the group in order to keep morale up and maintain the chance of success of a mission. Honesty is the best policy, but not when the results of it will shoot you in the foot when you really, really need that foot right now.

Don't tell them, at least until after everything's said and done. Plus, c'mon Rhys, it's super easy to just say "Well it's the only place on the station no-one's allowed to go to, so I guessed it was there and I was right."

Tell them. A) As mentioned before, it's been too long since we've had a DRAMATIC REVELATION OF WORLD SHATTERING PROPORTIONS and we gotta correct that, and B) it's a good idea to be open and honest with the person you're trying to woo, especially when you have a would-be voyeur hitch-hiking in your brain.

OH MY GOD TELL THEM. :neckbeard: It's been long enough not telling them to get plenty of drama, without making it some bullshit thing that happens in the middle of a firefight or while Rhys is dangling off a cliff or something. And make sure to give the weakest loving excuse possible afterward so they're super wary.

EDIT: As if we needed any more reason to tell them, I've just thought of the possibility that Jack will prevent it by punching Rhys in the face again. Who wouldn't want Rhys to get punched?

I love we keep getting high five prompts. I still don't think anything is going to top Assassin's Creed 2's Brohug with Leonardo, but the fist bump with Vaughn and LB comes really close.

Also ergh, Vasquez. I thought we had gotten rid of the slimy bastard; I'm still miffed we didn't get a proper face off with him, but I guess going down like a bitch is fitting, and was actually a great way of establishing Vallory as a character, in a "Han shoots Greedo" way.

Keep it secret. It's two on one right now, and Rhys is known for being bad at talking. If we're ever going to tell them, it should be while we have Vaughn to back us up.j

Edit: And Jack's help would probably be really useful for getting through Helios, so we definitely shouldn't make him angry.

Seven idiots and a bear walk into a dragon's lair.

Tell them, I've always sided with Jack so I never told them because I knew it'd make Jack mad. But we're already not exactly Jack's best friend and I'm genuinely curious how the girls react.

I'm surprised Vaughn got a clean getaway. In the Trust Jack route, Vallory captures him too and he's the one Vallory stabs to get Rhys and Fiona to work with her. He escapes later on the ride to Old Haven - Vaughn doesn't come back up to Helios with the team either way.

So when I played this, I stayed silent when Vallory asked the group to go get the Gortys piece, and then I said "You heard me" when she stabbed Sasha. To which she replied "Actually you didn't say anything the first time" which was great right up until she went and twisted the knife like we saw here. It's a little thing, but I am very happy that kind of interaction was planned for. This is truly a good game.

When in doubt, Tell The Truth. If only because it's such a frustrating trope for one member of the group to be hiding a zombie bite/secret identity/AI of a dead CEO and pass up all their best opportunities to come clean before being forced into it, and getting a chance to short-circuit that drama-bomb of your own volition is a breath of narrative fresh air.

Telltale is really good at getting the little details down in their games, which is something I personally consider a high point.

Don't tell them! There is no way that telling them about an AI copy of a very hated man that's living in our brains is a good idea.

While it is impressive that anyone could lift that rocket launcher, I'm more impressed that Athena took a rocket to the face and was only knocked out. Vault Hunters are tough, all right.

Regarding Jack, we should not tell them. It's not like they don't think that Rhys is an idiot already.

Let them know. Giving the skilled con-artist pertinent information that is incredibly useful for a place they plan to sneak into (namely, they have the guy who knows everything about the place where they want in) can go a long way in this infiltration mission.

Tell them. They're probably all about to die anyway, right? Might as well get that weight off of Rhys's shoulders. You don't go into the heart of Jack's secret volcano lair...errr, space station, without him somehow screwing you over.

Also, Tales from the Borderlands is seriously lacking in breakfast-choosing options. I dislike that.

This comes down to a question of whether it's worse for them to find out now or later, because whatever happens they are going to find out.

Don't tell them, because I made the opposite choice and I want to see whether not knowing screws them over.

Unrelated chat, but I mentioned earlier that I'd gotten some friends to tag along with me to Pandora for Shootmans Adventures?

Finally got everyone together for a run. Game is fun! Team ended up being Salvador / Gaige / Krieg.

Two things: One, Gaige is the screamiest little girl. Two, one bark she had about a 'science fair' led to me asking my more-Borderlands-knowledgeable friend about it, who explained Gaige's backstory, which segued into the colonization of Pandora itself.

I'm not sure how much of that is okay to get into here without it being spoilers territory, but I'm starting to take the stated fact that Pandora is a poo poo-hole with a small grain of salt: It's certainly an absolutely awful place but the rest of the galaxy doesn't seem that much better.

Yeah, this is Gaige's biggest (and probably only) downside - all of the characters make noise when hurt but it's usually just grunts or yelps. Gaige shrieks. I'm sure I'd shriek too if I got set on fire but it's super loving annoying.
