Every choice players make, big or small, will determine the fate of each character in unexpected ways.

Tales from the borderlands characters full#
The Borderlands aren't just home to Vault Hunters, Bandits, and weapons-corp CEOs-they’re also full of downtrodden, intrepid civilians just trying to live under the oppressive, designer wing-tips of the 1%. Within the perpetually war-torn metropolis of Promethea, players will decide the fates of three underdogs out to make mayhem their business, with altruistic scientist Anu, her ambitious "streetwise" brother Octavio, and the fierce, frogurt-flinging Fran. There are also a few moments where characterisation is cast aside in place of serving a joke, which just ends up undermining them, and in the case of Octavio, outright flanderises them.New Tales from the Borderlands immerses players in a deep and original story full of unexpected turns, heartwarming emotion, and classic Borderlands humor. I found many of the funnier moments to be loaded into the first half of the game, while the second half was uneven in its delivery. That's of course still here in smaller doses though.
Like the older Tales game, most of the humour comes from the character interactions and set pieces, rather than the "lol random" type of humour that plagues the shooters. Humour is another key aspect of the experience here, and a lot of your enjoyment will largely hinge on whether you find it funny. Not all the protagonists, and secondary characters, are equally engaging, and there's a lack of heart that the original built up with its clever use of characters from the other games. My personal favourite was Fran, who is a rather atypical video game protagonist as a middle-aged, disabled woman, but her fierceness, flirtatiousness, and inner conflict over controlling her anger made for a compelling arc. The core of New Tales From The Borderlands is the story and characters, and each of the main protagonists has their strengths and weaknesses which endeared me to them.
