Kaubocks posted:Mad Moxxi is the mother of Scooter and Ellie, and has been married to several people such as Marcus and (I believe) Steve, as well as previously dating Handsome Jack and Mordecai. Not necessarily at the same time, mind you. Mad Moxxie is one of Pandora's less insane quest givers, but she still has the normal Pandorian casual attitude towards murdering people for money. She sends you to murder her (second) ex-husband for goodness sakes. Although she does seem honestly broken up over his death. What I'm getting at is that they better not let Rhyis break the news to Moxxie about Scooter, or she'll have them all killed. CuwiKhons posted:He buried a man alive and had a crush on his sister.

Scooter? But but but... Scooter? (Read spoilers, haven't seen it yet  )CATCH A RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE! forever. Here's hoping the Moxxie in Borderlands 3 is the mechanic like she was in the Pre-Sequel (Because women that can fix things are hotter? Maybe?) But oh yeah, she's gonna be pissed. So here's a question: Why the hell doesn't anyone else respawn in these games? How can you kill someone if they will just pop back a few credits short?

The animation for it is kinda clunky, Scooter looks like an enormous doof without his Iconic Cap™, he doesn't hold it up like a cowboy when flying away, and then Fiona promptly stops wearing Scooter's hat as soon as they hit Helios. Overall it's just kinda whatever and I figured people would mourn the loss of not only Scooter but also hat #2.

Their helmets don't even enclose their whole head, it's probably some kind of space magic tech that's projecting some kind of thin, full-body shield that keeps in atmosphere, pressure and heat. I mean they already have personal energy shields that deflect bullets, shrapnel and fire. Also, Catch A Riiiiiiide! Also also, the high watermark for the whole game is during that intro walk sequence where Fiona's "the gently caress?" expression slides into frame. Any and all relationship teasing between Rhys and Sasha is worth it for her reaction.

Cathulhu posted:Well that's a bummer. They won't freeze because there's nowhere for heat to go. You get cold in cold air because your heat moves from warm you to cold air and gets carried off by wind or whatever. In vacuum, heat can only leave the body by radiation, which is much much slower and possibly entirely counteracted by sunlight. A small force field to counter the effects of negative pressure and cosmic rays should be plenty for a short EVA.

Aw man.... Scooter.... At least he went out in the most awesome way possible, he'll be a Pandora legend for this. Catch a ride Scooter, catch the best drat ride ever. Speaking of rides, this game is the best drat ride! Seriously the story in this is so drat good, I get so drawn in and I love everything about it. I can't remember the last time I cared so much about characters in a video game. Also I love how this vote has gone, I love all you goons for this.... Except Air is Lava. What is wrong with you?! Nice pun though.

Honour Scooter in the only way possible. With his Catchphrase. Also we finally get to my personal favourite title card, by far. Vaughn or no Vaughn, it's still an amazing sequence.

Man, that scene made me tear up, no joke. RIP Scooter, you'll forever be remembered as the Slim Pickens of Pandora.  Also, finding out that Moxxi is Scooter's mom makes one of his quotes from the first game loving hilarious

Catch a ride, man. There is no other option. Scooter handles his imminent death with incredible dignity and maturity, considering his usual temperament. If he had to go, this was probably his ideal way - as he says, "I did some awesome poo poo!" In general, Scooter's actually a lot smarter in this game than people give him credit for.

Changing my vote, I didn't watch the video at first. Stick to the plan. Scooter wouldn't want the rest of us getting killed. Also I don't know if you care or not, but the SA link in video 4-3 isn't working. RareAcumen fucked around with this message at 07:07 on Mar 9, 2016 |

Catch a Ride Also I also thought you were going to do Step Three. But, that also would have made it very uncomfortable for the plot and story so a hug was a nice send off.

Considering that Henderson is STILL FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE and it's... What, at least a week since the game began, factoring in the travel montages? it doesn't look like Hyperion cleans up the space surrounding Helios at all. That may well be chunks of the original constructor fleet that got shredded by Dahl when they took over the station in the Pre-Sequel.

Kaubocks posted:oh my GOD I cannot believe I forgot to ever mention that Dahl attacked Helios They killed a lot of people!  Yeah I thought the whole thing with Hyperion hating Dahl was a corporate rivalry thing my first playthrough. Now that I've dipped a toe into the Pre-sequel it turns out it's rather a more 'The Dahl Lost Legion attacked and seized control of the station'. So, you know. On one hand, systematic purge of noncombatants by a trained military force. On the other hand, they probably killed a lot of Claptraps too, so.

Yeah, I mostly just wanted to make a bad pun and to have a dissenting vote, but it was kinda insensitive of Scooter to bring a Dahl satelite. It's not like that ad space will bring him a lot of customers. And if any high ranking Hyperion sees that, they might just moonshot every shop of his franchise to the ground. That being said, I'll miss his stupid, tiny face.

Yeah, that's probably it; they have been quite consistent with their references, and since I haven't played the pre-sequel yet I thought it may have been something recognizable. Ah, the intro song this time is To The Top by Twin Shadow

This may be spoilers, but it's just the intro video to the pre-sequel so it's not really spoiling anything. They don't look identical, but they do look pretty similar, and the ship gets destroyed by Dahl so it might be a callback to that?

the pre-sequel musical intro is, in my opinion, by FAR the weakest of all of them. that music is just not the right choice at all, but the game was made by 2K Australia and The Vines are Australian so  that's my theory anyway and I'm sticking with it even borderlands 1, which is a pretty uneventful intro by today's standards, had a pretty baller music choice that set the tone (cage the elephant - ain't no rest for the wicked (or whatever that song is actually called)). borderlands 2 has the best of the FPS trio (the heavy - short change hero) but every single TFTBL intro knocks it out of the goddamn park and into the stratosphere

I have never seen the intro to the PreSequel and so I find myself enjoying the imagery of suicidally overconfident bandits trying to hijack a rocket the same way a bunch of sailors would try to catch a whale (with similar results up until the part where the bandits got shot).

While the shuttle from Pandora might technically not be part of the fleet, it's still a Hyperion ship destroyed during that same attack, so I didn't feel like calling it out as a separate possibility.
