There are times during this episode when both characters are clearly lying, but it’s left up to the player to decide what’s true and what’s “embellishment”. This is what brings our two playable protagonists together, and it makes for an interesting storytelling mechanic. Fiona tells the bandit how she, her sister, and the closest thing she has to a father figure were going to run the mother of all cons on none other than Vasquez. This is where we find that the bandit has also captured Fiona, and the bandit asks her to tell her side of the story. He tries to retaliate by screwing over a deal Vasquez has going down on Pandora. He is screwed over by his rival and new boss, Vasquez. Without spoiling too much, Rhys is a middling Hyperion employee who is trying to move up in the corporation. The episode opens with Rhys being captured by a bandit, and is asked to tell his version of the story. Rhys is attempting to screw over his new boss at Hyperion, and Fiona is just trying to run the mother of all cons. Tales From The Borderlands Episode 1: Zer0 Sum follows Hyperion employee Rhys and Pandorian Con-Woman Fiona as they first cross paths on Pandora. Clearly, their first two projects were just appetizers as Telltale makes their way to the main course. This style is definitely a shift from what we’re used to from Telltale, and introducing two controllable protagonists may seem like Telltale is biting off more than they can chew. The Borderlands series is known for two things, an ungodly amount of guns and its quirky style of humor. Their latest project, Tales From The Borderlands, is a distinctly different flavor than the dark worlds of The Walking Dead and Fables. Up until now, Telltale games has been known for their award winning take on The Walking Dead as well as Vertigo Comics’ “Fables” with The Wolf Among Us.
