Hi Mr Kojima, can you tell us why you killed former japanese PM Shinzo Abe with what appeared to be a weapon from the Borderlands games? Is this a hint that you'll be working with the Borderlands team on a new Borderlands game? Will it be about killing prime ministers? Will claptrap be in it? Will claptrap be a companion character like Quiet? Will claptrap be wearing a bikini because he's allergic to clothes like Quiet was?

You are Quarrelsome Chameleon, a beautiful female assassin with biological enhancements that allow your skin to change colors to match your surroundings, which is why you are always naked except for your bikini which can also change colors. But you can't just make a whole outfit that changes colors because the material is super hard to manufacture and there was only enough to make a bikini.

You are Becky Chiba, a bubblegum chewing cheerleader who is always on her phone. You are also the most formidable martial artist in the world because you were abducted by MI6 and forcibly implanted with an experimental neural uplink that houses the consciousness of the legendary 100-year old Yakuza assassin who was mortally wounded in a kumite deathmatch in which he killed Interim Chief. It's pretty obvious during the cutscenes that you don't wear underwear for reasons that are integral to the plot.

Your are the game's de facto narrator, underlining key plot points in cutscenes between acts, for the benefit of slow-witted gamers who can't follow a simple and timeless story of redemption set against the backdrop of international carnage.

Oh you like Borderlands? Isn't that game a little... remedial? Maybe you aren't ready for the technical challenge and emotional impact of my new project, which is unlike anything that came before and will revolutionize gaming and usher in a bold new age of interactive storytelling.

You are an anonymous soldier with limited peripheral vision and a neurological impairment that prevents you from remembering things that you saw only seconds ago. Also your dull-witted and child-like mind is so easily amused that the player doesn't even need to subdue you because you get distracted at the drop of a hat and are basically useless.

You are Glorpfiz Glorpfaz, the leader of an expeditionary force of aquatic aliens living in Loch Ness while they search for the secrets of leprechaun alchemy, which they need to save their homeworld.

You are young and optimistic—perhaps to the point of naivety—but you are a capable negotiator and a tireless advocate for democratic ideals.

You are Glenn "Gary" Glen-Rubenstein, the leader of an Israeli commando unit waging war with a race of subterranean goblins in Antarctica. You are blind, but your enhanced sense of taste allows you to detect opponents at a great distance--and to aim your gun at their most fragrant body parts with unerring accuracy. You are the boss of the Antarctic research station level, and the snowy cover-based battle is so tense and engaging that a warning must be placed in the game's load screen to warn gamers who are pregnant or have a preexisting heart condition. Before you are defeated, an emotionally devastating cutscene unfolds, after which you are forced to join forces with both the protagonist and with Natalya Mink to fight a goblin battlemech possessed by the enslaved spirit of Interim Chief.

No you are not.

You are Doctor Wolfsbane Mugabe, a pioneering neuroscientist whose cutting-edge neural uplink technology has made her the subject of much interest from MI6 and the CIA. In the main storyline you appear only in the office level, but if the player manages to escort you safely through Princess Algonquin Parkway's traps without your having lost any limbs, you will appear in the hub level for the third act with additional lines of dialogue. If the player also completes Huntington Santangelo's 'Late-Stage Capitalism' side-quest you will act as a merchant selling biomechanical upgrades as microtransactions.

This is the stupidest name I have ever heard in my life. Where did you even hear that nonsense?

You are Duchess Trashington Panda-Tomkinson, a British aristocrat who turned her back on the buttoned-down life of high-society to pursue adventure as a member of the protagonist's commando squad. You can speak the leprechaun language, due to your having been lost on your family's sprawling north-country estate for three months in your youth. If the player selects all of your dialogue options, you will teach them some leprechaun swear words--which greatly simplifies the quicktime event required to sabotage Lord Doug Terpies' soft-soap interview on Gideon Clean's religious talk show.

You are an old ally of the protagonist, and it is your request for aid that leads the game toward the Antarctic research station level.

You die at the end of the mission no matter which dialogue option the player chooses when confronting Interim Chief--but if you choose the option to ask if Joan Jett is hotter than Lita Ford your robotic leg can be found in the disused storage room at the beginning of the office level and given to Death Squid, unlocking additional reinforcements in the rainforest zipline level.

Do you seriously think that an artist of my caliber would stoop to re-using characters and gimmicks from prior games over and over, ad nauseum? If so you are an even bigger fool that other poster that I called a fool back on page 2 for reasons that in retrospect seem kind of petty.

You are Goblin Gear, the world's most advanced battlemech, designed by goblin scientists to turn the tide against the long-standing stalemate with the forces of the surface world. You require a Class VII human soul to operate at maximum capacity, which led Steve Wilson to steal Interim Chief's phylactery from the Antarctic research station. If the player has avoided being shot in the butthole by Glen "Gary" Glen-Rubenstein and has also unlocked Natalya Mink as a playable character, Interim Chief's spirit can be freed, allowing it to take control of Goblin Gear. This unlocks a secret ending where Goblin Gear and Becky Chiba engage in a karate battle at Niagra Falls, but also means that Goblin Gear is not available to be piloted during the hollow earth level, forcing the player to use a far inferior battlemech (unless they have previously purchased the 'Loch Ness Monsters and Men' DLC).
