One thing Telltale has kept is the game's iconic loot boxes. Instead of "Borderland's" usual gunplay, Telltale relies on QTEs to push the actions and decision trees to deliver the dialogue. Once Rhys and August reach the seller's location, they run afoul of some local toughs. The violence, while gory, still possesses an undeniable flair, as shown by the carcass of a skag hit by Vasquez's stolen car. Pandora is just as beautifully desolate as ever in "Tales," right down to the cel-shaded art with its heavy brush strokes. After some quick embezzling on August's part, he joins Rhys to meet up with the vault key owner to set up a buy on Pandora. From there, they met up with Yvette, their other friend, and come up with a plan to get the vault key before Vasquez. The meeting is interrupted when August (voiced by "Uncharted's" Nolan North), Rhys' best friend, creates a flimsy excuse to get him out of the meeting. When that fails, Rhys uses his cybernetic eye to discover that the item in question is a Vault Key, which unlocks one of the mythical vaults full of treasure and advanced alien technology. From there, a decision tree pops up, and the Telltale rep chooses to try to take a peek at the computer. We meet Rhys, a contender who fell short, meeting with the Patrick Warburton-voiced Hugo Vasquez, the new CEO of the weapons-manufacturing company.ĭuring the meeting, Rhys eavesdrops on a call between Vasquez and a mysterious caller about an important artifact. The story takes place after "Borderlands 2." After Handsome Jack's demise at the hands of the Vault Hunters, everyone at the Hyperion Corporation is looking to fill Jack's spot at the top.


"You want to hear another story of treasure hunting?" Yes, Marcus, indeed we do.
