So i guess the stranger is the one from the bandit duo after all, whatshisname with the tiny beard. The bot trasher. Too bad. I miss my Greaseface theory.

Plus the stranger doesn't seem to have any animosity towards our duo, he's just been treating them as means to an end.

In retrospect I think that it's a bunch of comparative nobodies that actually 'blow up' Helios is odd, considering that the Vault Hunters where apparently planning on going to do that around the time of the Bunkers and Badasses game with Tina wrapped up and then just...never got around to it between the end of the BL2 DLC and 'current events'. The time frame is weird, the nearest I can figure out is that the events of Tales are occurring around roughly the same point in time as Athena telling her story at Sanctuary. Lilith is That means that Maya, Salvador, and Krieg are unaccounted for right this second. Also Claptrap and Fake!Jack, I guess. The idea of Helios slooooowly falling out of the sky while Athena rambles and none of the Vault Hunters present noticing it is pretty funny, though.

I really like the idea of the vault hunters finishing up their game of B&B, Maya walks in all "u guys wanna assault a hyperion moon base?", they all hoot and holler and grab their gear, step outside and it's just raining hellfire from the skies because some rando employee beat them to the punch

Not that weird - Fiona is a vault hunter in her own right, complete with an F skill. Plus, y'know, being a Vault Hunter kinda lost its meaning when they let Claptrap in.

Maybe the pistol would be one of those skills that alters Fight For Your Life or something. EDIT: Also Helios falling out of the sky is totally Rhys' fault, Fiona barely had anything to do with it.

Fake Jack is unaccounted for. If he's stuck looking like Jack he's probably laying low. He had some of the coolest skills, I swear. Compound Interest made enemies explode if you shot them with two different weapons, another skill buffed his attack for every bit of money he picked up, he had a grenade spam skill that have him free grenades....

Fake Jack's name is Timothy Lawrence and nobody has any loving clue where he is. I was really hoping he was going to turn out to be the Stranger but he's not.

I'd rate Timothy and Krieg as the playable vault hunters most likely to fall off the franchise and not be referenced ever again. Maya's a Siren and that has plot relevance enough that it'd be hard to write her out smoothly, and along with Salvador was one of the four core vault hunters in BL2. Fake!Jack looks like Jack and that incidentally paints a gigantic target on him so it's far too plausible that he got shot in the butt and died in a misunderstanding somewhere. Only Aurelia and Athena even know who he is, at this point. Krieg I rate disappearing because he's another DLC character, essentially a random-rear end friendly bandit and it doesn't seem like there's any way for the other Vault Hunters to figure out what his actual deal is.

CuwiKhons posted:Krieg is WAY too popular to disappear without fan outrage. I'm having a blast playing as him I just don't think the writers know how to use him once he's moved away from the part of the story where they can use him as a viewpoint character and he might get shelved because of that. Also Lilith seems to be getting just a touch of the 'I'm the hero of this story' syndrome that worked out super well for Handsome Jack. Athena had reasons for doing what she did? She had her own story? gently caress that, I'm the protagonist, and in MY story you're the bad guy, so you get executed by firing squad.

Fiona's action skill is totally her elemental derringer. Time slows down and you can take just one very powerful shot. Passive skills include money healing you. Gaige in a Tales of Borderland game could be really funny. I imagine how to depict her using Anarchy mode is her robot arm starts glowing red and supercharging her bullets, but it also starts shaking like a paint mixer.

I'm not sure there's any good way to implement a slow down mechanic in a game that's fundamentally coop. The other players would have to be effected by the slowdown, whether that would mean slowing down themselves or seeing all the enemies slow down. I'm also not sure I'd like to see Fiona as a playable Vault Hunter. I kind of like Fiona as somebody who isn't an unstoppable murderhobo.

In Payday 2 if a teammate goes down, they experience the world in slow motion for just a moment while everyone else plays at regular speed. I'm not entirely sure how they accomplish this but the precedent is there if they limited the slowdown to very short instances of use.

Went back through some of the earlier episodes of this LP I missed. I love your introduction to Shade. "He's really loving weird!" Shade was one of my favorite NPCs. That said, what the gently caress was he doing "sleeping" in his own display case? Clearly, he was not in the least bit insane.

Shade was weird as hell, but that can be chalked up to dehydration. I love it when you find the caverns below Oasis. "It's a good thing no one in Oasis is dying of thirst -- otherwise, the sight of that enormous spring might fill me with a tragic rage! Hahahahahahhahahahah!"

Its her battle precog and elemental shot. The way id see it is that the skill would highlight crit areas and elemental weaknesses, and hitting a crit spot with a weakness element while in the skill does massively increased damage. Her derringer would be her alt melee on a cooldown. And a passive would increase your damage if you keep not missing. Id see her as the anti-Gaige but with just as much damage potential.

Since I love you guys, here's your regularly scheduled Tuesday update on top of the one you got a few days ago.   Time to find out how Rhys and Fiona's stories came to an end as we catch up with the present day. Due to pacing I had to field a couple "major" choices. Do you agree with the decisions I made in the video? Let me know! Kaubocks fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Apr 12, 2016 |
