How is this even a question? Purples are always better. Buy the Skeletal Menace mask. (Yes I know it probably won't do anything and will likely just be a waste of our money, but I don't care.) Also you should totally go full friendship on the foursome. I wanna see Rhys and Sasha learn to understand the other side, and Fiona and Vaughn...I guess maybe Fiona could teach Vaughn how to be confident and Vaughn could teach Fiona how to think things through or something? Whatever their deal is, I feel like it'd be fantastic character building if what we've seen so far is any indication.

Let him lie in the bed he made.  Kaubocks posted:I'll go on record as saying that if shooting him or letting him blow up wins the vote, when I rework the video to out the ending on I'll retool the dialogue so Fiona says the "wow what the gently caress I'm pissed off now" responses. I think she'd let him blow up not because she's super angry, but because she thinks as a father figure and a fellow con man he'll never listen to her. So she may as well save her breath and maybe hope she can patch him up after the explosion. You're effectively taking that option away from us. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you weren't trying to influence the vote, but I hope you consider a middle path too rather than just LOVE/HATE/HATE.

Kaubocks posted:that's fair, I'm not trying to influence the vote, but also there's not a lot of middle ground in the dialogue choice for this scene. if people want to let him choke on it with the caveat that I try and play nice leading up to that choice, that's fine too. mostly just trying to explain that I'm flexible in trying to make the dialogue fit the narrative if requested Figured it was something like that. Thanks for being cool about stuff.

Help Rhys because seeing where you're driving could get you away from the Moonshots and Rakk Hive both, and then Tell Vaughn about Jack, but wait for the others to find out in another way and then whine that you were totally going to tell them. That's how sitcoms work, right?

BL1 - Mordecai (popping heads and throwing birds at people is so fun), usually using either Vladof for rapid-fire head-popping or Jakobs for "wait, I only shot his head, where did the rest of his body go?" BL2 - a brief stint as Zer0 before I decided I hated the game for a litany of reasons, might've tried Gaige or the psycho if they weren't paid character DLC. BL1.5 - Maybe Athena if I ever play it?

RareAcumen posted:Well, going from what little I can already make out from the preview I have to go against the Scooter Special since it'd nearly bankrupt us again. Yes, but then you get $500 from that box in Felix's place. I think we'll be alright for money either way, so I feel no qualms about saying oh god I want to see the Scooter Special, pick it pick it pick it. Also be respectful and let Sasha choose whether she wants to open it. If she doesn't we'll still be able to open it ourselves when she's not looking....right?

My only question is should I watch the video first, or wait for the game to download and play it first?  (Finally pulled the trigger on the 66% off sale a few minutes ago after anxiously waiting for the whole steam holiday sale for it to get even lower.  )

Trust Fiona. Jack having access to Rhys's arm is already way too much to give the man, he doesn't care about keeping our friends safe like we do, and if Fiona's plan doesn't work we can still fall back on Jack. He's not about to refuse to keep us alive just because we picked him second when his head is tied to ours for the moment.

trappersf posted:Let's think about this: since this is Fiona and Rhys telling the tale to someone AND we know they're both pissed at each other. It's a common action-drama tactic to have partners who get caught with their pants down by the bad guys start having an altercation in front of them, in order to make the bad guys relax out of confusion, so that the good guys can suddenly pull some poo poo. See the movies Bad Boys and Galaxy Quest for examples. For that matter, where are Sasha and Vaughn while this story is being told? Rhys and Fiona are probably just stalling for time before the cavalry comes riding in on a pimped-out LoaderBot to kick all the rear end.  (Still really need to actually play this game, but I tried out Fallout: New Vegas this past weekend and it seems to be consuming my soul.)

Crasical posted:I never played the main-series Borderlands games before trying Tales (My friends repeatedly warned me off trying them) and didn't know the Shields/Flesh/Machines element triangle, so I shocked the piss out of him instead of burning him. Doesn't make any difference. Shock would've actually been a great choice in this situation, because it murders the gently caress out of shields and is still pretty good against flesh too. Meanwhile incendiary would've been poo poo against any possible shield, and only when it burned through would it murder his health. That may even be why it took him a bit to fall down. Remember that bum that shocked Tector with a Maliwan shield back in episode one? It didn't who any visual sign of a shield being on him, so we can never really know who might have a shield.  E: Oh wow, and apparently in BL2 they made Shock even better. No damage hit against flesh and armor at all, and still ridiculous against shields.

Incendiary was hot garbage back in BL1. Bad against armor, horrible against shields, and its bonus against flesh wasn't that high. It was also mostly DoT, which means the enemy gets to keep firing at you for a few seconds longer instead of dying right now. It was still worth it to have a Hellfire on Lilith for elemental shenanigans and using on flesh-only enemies like non-Alpha skags and rakks and whatnot, but it was definitely not your workhorse. Explosive was great for sniping weapons (or anything else that was low RoF, high damage), and good as an all-rounder (no bonuses or penalties). Shock was basically good for anything, as its penalty for armor and flesh was minimal, and while it did a lot of up front damage, it also had a small DoT to prevent shield regeneration. Corrosive was the go-to for reasonable DoTs and just reaming the hell out of armor. Pestilent Defilers would utterly ruin spiderants and Crimson Lance

All four of them can be interpreted as violent/non-violent. Blow his mind - shoot him in the head / amaze him with speechifying Break his heart - the heart grab thing apparently / make him weep with a big sob story Make her head spin - snap her neck / confuse her with fast-talking Cut her out of the deal - knife, sword, axe, lasers...whatever it is, she's mincemeat / make her cronies turn on her or something If there are any more of these, I imagine they'll be about the same level of "oooh, what's gonna happen if I pick this?" and a very strong reason to play this game at least twice. (I'm personally not sure how I could play it any less than three times.)

Blastinus posted:At this point, now that we're mostly free of murderous robots, I'd say partner with Jack. When there's a guy in your head who can turn your own hand on you, you kiiiiiinda don't want to make him angry. Yeah, he may not be able to kill Rhys, because that'd kill him too, but there's nothing stopping Jack from punching Rhys in the nuts over and over until he passes out. Or compulsively assaulting any and all of Rhys's allies to kill any goodwill they might have for Rhys (even if they believe his plea of innocence, it'll still hurt their view of him at least subtly). There are a lot of ways to make someone's life miserable without ending it.

RareAcumen posted:Not Loaderbot!!! The little red droids that were shooting at everyone before! We coulda had another robobuddy to add to the team but everyone was so terrified about giving Jack control. Nobody's scared of Jack taking our life. Rhys and Fiona have to make it through, both because it's a video game, and because we haven't reached the "present" yet, where they're both alive. We're scared of all the other lives he could and would take without hesitation. I'm sure if they wanted to they could write branches (probably much later in the game to reduce complexity) that have no Vaughn, or no Sasha, or no Loaderbot, or whoever else (like Yvette). Jack is simultaneously someone you don't want to piss off and someone you don't want to give a lot of power, both for the same reason. Also imo we probably shouldn't be taking an optimal route through this game anyway. It'll make the LP serve as a push for people to get the game to see better options. Speaking of options, I'm sort of sad there wasn't one to tell Jack "I went with her plan because I knew yours would work whether we did it right then or if she failed." Probably follow that logic up with some flattery, too.

The eye is totally not weird. You're on a mission to put together bits of Atlas stuff stored in various Atlas places. Having a high-ranking Atlas retinal scan on hand is just smart. Now, if she keeps it as a souvenir after all this is over...  The sloped elevator thing is weird, but noticing it is not. And funicular is a very fun word to say. For the real vote, I have a question. In big A/B decisions like this, what happens if you don't choose one in time? Do you say nothing, or does the game choose one of the two lines to stuff into your mouth? Depending on the answer, I'm either voting for say nothing (if possible) or don't kill him. I may agree with Athena that I'd do the same in her place, but I'm not about to become a justification for her murder spree.

Hey, some of us voted both for whether funiculars were weird and if noticing them was weird.

anilEhilated posted:I'm really hoping she'll grow into a proper demolitions specialist in whenever BL3 rolls out. The lack of a focused grenadier/explosive character makes me sad. Brick was a lot about Explosive damage back in BL1. Building him into someone that shot rocket launchers at his own feet was a lot of fun. Combine with an Explosive artifact for exploding punches during his ability, and you can get to the point where basically anything you're ever looking at is probably exploding one way or the other.

OH MY GOD TELL THEM.  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.

Face is way less gross than the eye thing. Lest anyone forget, Fiona didn't just spork someone's eye out, she also first stabbed the other eye, causing it to gush out all over her.  And just the Onyx Overlord. Sasha should get to see what being a Hyperion exec is like, and that suit screams upper-middle-management.

Wait, didn't she already have a title card when Fiona and Sasha met her before?

Waffleman_ posted:That's literally everyone except Rhys and Fiona. So that doesn't really tell us much. I think he means that if there are more casualties, there are plenty of other people who could bite it instead of Sasha, and that just because someone hasn't shown up in the "present", that doesn't mean much. Doubly so because we don't know who the stranger is. Maybe it's Vaughn! Or Sasha! Or Sasha sitting on Vaughn's shoulders!

Talk to her and tell her who you are. You can always zap her later if she turns on you again, right?Hostile V posted:Talk and tell because if she can tell the corpse isn't Rhys' then there's not much keeping her from finding out who it really belongs to. It's not like she's going to run the DNA through the entire Hyperion employee database, plus that would probably take hours for a station that size even with space-tech computers. For all she knows the likely candidates are Rhys, Vaughn, or some Pandoran that wouldn't even be in the system anyway. She might run it against Vaughn, but after that comes back negative she's just going to assume it's some random bandit or merc, especially with the "messy firefight" story Kaubocks picked. Unless you give her some reason to suspect that you aren't Vasquez, it shouldn't occur to her to test specifically for the guy that's she's been bitching at whenever she can find him. ...Which I guess means it totally will. Goddammit.  Captain Bravo posted:Doesn't it belong to multiple people? Vasquez got exploded, they scraped the remnants of several dudes into the tub. No, Vasquez's corpse was by itself back toward the front of the area, and the bomb psycho (the only one who made it that far) probably mostly liquefied. At least enough that they should've been able to tell shrapnel-dissected Vasquez bits apart from the psycho's gibs.

gently caress Hyperion. Jack's only being nice right now so he can get us to let him do...whatever it is that he wants. Probably take over our brain or something else mean. Besides, rejecting Hyperion probably means embracing Sasha, whereas trying to take Jack's place is exactly what would push her away the most. I want a happy ending, dammit.
