There's a moment where Springs asks you about Athena's continued dabbling in bounty hunting, and you can either tell the truth or lie to get Springs to help you. Episode four's best parts focus on interactions between two or three characters and their humanity. I'm excited knowing these events are canon, as so far it has been my favorite story in the Borderlands universe to date. They feel like they belong there, down to Springs and Scooter assisting Fiona and Sasha with their automotive needs. With one episode to go, the presence of these characters in the story up to this point has been a very organic addition. The Handsome Jack AI/ghost in Rhys' head has been an entertaining plot point fueled with plenty of giggle-worthy writting. We've seen the big heroes meddle in Rhys and Fiona's affairs, with Zer0 fighting on the fringes in the first episode and the bounty hunter Athena joining them in combat last episode. Tales from the Borderlands began as a story about the small, ordinary people-the non-Vault Hunters-wading in among those powerful giants, with nothing but their wits to defend them.
It's this Vault that everyone has been after since day one.
Tales from the Borderlands has been a rollercoaster, and Episode Four feels more like the slow climb to the summit before another massive drop-but the lull in action isn't always a good thing.Įpisode Four opens with our ragtag band of not-quite-heroes in trouble, and everybody one step closer towards the Vault of the Traveler, a teleporting Vault that only stays in one place for a few minutes at a time and allegedly holds a massive treasure. Things have been very action-oriented up until this point: a group of characters on the run, blowing up heads and desecrating corpses, stealing money, lying, and playing a seemingly endless game of cat and mouse with angry treasure-seekers and bounty hunters.
Tales from the Borderlands' penultimate episode, Escape Plan Bravo, presents a change of pace from the frantic action of previous episodes.
