Instead, he falls for countless other scams. That’d be fine as a gag, but Octavio doesn’t learn or grow from it. Almost every plot point involves the utter stupidity of these protagonists.Īt one point, Octavio blows a bunch of prize money the party just won by being duped into buying a building they already own. It goes without saying that each of these characters has a strong personality, but New Tales From the Borderlands doesn’t give us any opportunities to sympathize or even start to like these characters until much later in the game. It’s a good setup, but there’s a definite lack of direction for nearly half the game, where it’s not clear what the character’s ultimate goal really is. The trio is forced together when the corporation Tediore invades Pandora, and as each tries to fulfill their disparate goals they start to lean on each other for survival. You assume control of three different “losers.” There’s the altruistic scientist Anu who struggles to produce results for her bosses, her streetwise brother Octavio who’s a thief dreaming of fame without the common sense to make it happen, and the overly angry Fran who owns a frozen yogurt store and sits in a hoverchair. I totally could.New Tales From the Borderlands has a decent opening chapter that’s brought down right after by poor pacing and a lack of focus. Sure, sure, I've never been the one to pull the trigger, right? L0U13 does that. What do Rhys Strongfork, Katagawa Jr., and Wainwright Jakobs all have in common? They'll kill for it. But the better question is, why do I help him? And the answer isn't money. Q: How many people have you helped L0U13 kill? Q: What do you think about the recent events on Pandora with the Crimson Raiders? I mean, not that I have dirt between my fingernails. She's great in her own ways but she doesn't remember what life on the street is like, you know? She doesn't have dirt between her fingernails. I'm just getting started! I don't spend time comparing myself to my sister. Q: How did you end up at Fran's while your sister ended up at Atlas? He slings bullets and brew, balances business with adventure, and does it all while staying connected to the people of Promethea. But, if we're talking favs, the only true answer is Lor. Octavio: I'd be remiss not to give a shoutout to Rhonda Fullfolja. Q: Who's your favorite person in the Dirty Thirty? Octavio: He seems nice! Torn on the mustache. Q: What are your thoughts on the current Atlas CEO? Have you or would you want to meet him? Octavio: If you're talking about Fran's Pineapple Pizzazzle flavor then.yes? Octavio: Being high enough in a corporation that nobody can accurately describe what I do. Octavio: It's a numbers game with a lot of luck involved. Q: What's your opinion on the quantum immortality theory? Octavio: A looping recording of me hyping myself up. Q: If you went into hardcore battle, what would you be listening to in your headphones? Octavio: My confidence, my social skills, and my business savvy. Hovering in the skies above Eden-5, smiling down at my adoring fans. Octavio: Probably one of those suborbital Turbo Mansions that used to be all the rage.
