Trust Jack, because that's the sort of terrible life choice a guy like Rhys would make under pressure.

It's amazing how slimy Vasquez sounds, Patrick Warburton does a hell of a job. I feel like I need a shower after the scenes with him. Fiona's plan involves using an untested grenade that we don't know what it does or if it'll actually work. Go with Jack. Playing through BL2 again Jack sounds different than here; I actually thought he was being played by a different person, but no, it's still Dameon Clarke. Maybe it's the lack of "Heeeeeeeey, Handsome Jack here" openings.

Trust Fiona, admittedly because I already played and I picked Jack.

Trust Fiona, because she has a 100% track record of not getting herself killed.

In this situation, options are limited. I say trust Fiona. This is EXACTLY the sort of situation that a con artist would be able to get us out of.

Vicissitude posted:Once Jack has a body again, we'll never get it back. Fiona's apparently got a plan. She's a con-artist. By definition she's got to think and act quick. She's got practice at poo poo like this. Trust Fiona. This is a good reason. Sure, she doesn't know what the ball or the grenades do, but nobody else here knows jack about them either, and she's a master bluffer. Jack is great, though, I love him trying to get Rhys to insult Vasquez just because it'd be funny with no thought about whether antagonizing the guy any further at this point is a good idea.

Yeah. Trust Jack. Fiona may think she has a plan, but I'd wager good money whatever "plan" she has in mind is total garbage! Despite having played before, I do not know what plan she actually has in mind, because who would ever be stupid enough to pick it? Apparently most of the people in this thread! Let's hope we don't regret this terrible decision. Also Jack is cool and real and also our friend (or, rather, it is a good idea to let him to continue to believe that being our friend is in his own best interest because I don't want our head ghost to hate us just yet, now is not the time to backstab him for our own advancement!).

Trust Jack. Fiona's plan will work out in the end but that's not really what I'm looking for here. I wanna see what happens if we go with the bad decision that has payoff. Also, it means possibly having firepower we can use on Vasquez. Which we can't really turn down after he dissed Loader Bot like that.

Look at Fiona, she doesn't have a loving plan. Jack at least has something viable. We can't trust Jack, but we should Trust Jack.

Trust Jack I mean, sure he tried to kill all life on Pandora. But have you seen the life on Pandora? It was clearly self defense.

anilEhilated posted:edit: I know the pistol Vasquez is waving around but can't recall its name, drives me nuts. Closest thing I could find is the Leverage model.  As far as legendary weapons go Logan's Gun from TPS has the same design but wildly different colors. Limopalise posted:real happy to hear someone else mention how good the Galatarium's song is. So good! For real! Tales from the Borderlands has a lot of solid tracks. Quite a few times it'll use old songs in really appropriate ways-- for example, when the team is being chased by the rakk hive, the game is actually playing the music for the rakk hive boss fight from the first Borderlands! The Galatarium's music track though just knocks it out of the goddamn park with how it builds up as everything is happening. I love this song. That pounding guitar fuels me. Tangentially related, one of the other little things I love during this scene is a very brief camerawork moment with Jack where he's explaining his plan. He looks visibly worried and tells Rhys that almost nobody will die, then he walks behind Rhys and emerges over his other shoulder with a mischievous grin "...unless you want them to. " I just like it a lot.  Edmond Dantes posted:Playing through BL2 again Jack sounds different than here; I actually thought he was being played by a different person, but no, it's still Dameon Clarke. Maybe it's the lack of "Heeeeeeeey, Handsome Jack here" openings. Probably a case of getting really comfortable with a character going into his third appearance and evolving the voice a bit. Alopex posted:Jack is great, though, I love him trying to get Rhys to insult Vasquez just because it'd be funny with no thought about whether antagonizing the guy any further at this point is a good idea. Always dunk on Vasquez with no regard for you own safety. It's just factually the right thing to do.

What does Rhys know about Jack that isn't just Hyperion rah-rah propaganda? Sure, the guy was a programmer who moved up through the ranks

Okay here's my rundown: * Jack is a terrible programmer * Jack doesn't care about anybody's life except his own/Rhys' (bc it is also his own) * I dont want this rear end in a top hat driving our body like a lovely car * Fiona is smart and pretty and nice and I like her hair Trust Fiona

Look, i don't like Handsome Jack, but:
Also, we know that Jack won't just take over Rhys' body or something because Rhys is narrating this, so don't even try that one.

Jack might not have taken Rhys over when we are talking to the wanderer or whatever he is called, but that didn't look like the end of the game to me.

He's not saying Jack may be puppeting narrator rhys, he's saying if we choose this faustian bargain, it may let Jack in irrevocably, and when we reach the end of the tale in the present Rhys may be hosed as Jack takes over or self-destructs him or something at the epilogue.

Look, Future Rhys' eye being yellow can't be because of this decision because it was yellow before we got to this point and it will still be yellow if we choose to trust Fiona. Whether Jack does or doesn't betray us and whether or not something happens or doesn't happen with Rhys' eye, it's obviously going to happen either way.

I haven't played it so I don't know if the Pre Sequel helps you warm to Jack at all with all that betrayal, but I have played BL2 and hilarious as he is, the man is an utter monster. Trust Fiona. It did seem to me like they were playing on Jack's more endearing qualities in the run up to this choice. If that's the case that's a nice touch, particularly for people like me who think of Jack as a (hilarious) child abusing murderous psychopath and otherwise might never even entertain the other option.
