![]() “Of two evils we must always choose the least.” Now we’re faced with the question: “Who’s the real hero?”Īre we just imagining ourselves to be the hero in every game? In our lives? What if the “good” I think I’m doing is actually feeding the very thing I’m working against? Should I be working against it or should I be working for the alternative? Where is the line between the two? Still he pursues his goal to bring order to Pandora. When she does this Jack apparently gets to see the future. Maybe that way he can redeem himself & his actions and finally become the hero he set out to be.Īlso, in the TPS there’s a scene where Lilith punches a relic into Jack’s face. While he saved millions of lives he wants to rid Pandora of all the dangerous monsters and bandits who are only spreading chaos. This gives us an understanding of why he summons the creature at the end of BL2. Roland, Lilith and his ex-girlfriend Moxxi even go as far as trying to kill him. In the process of doing that he’s ultimately betrayed by almost everybody he chooses to trust. While in BL2 you get hints at why he acts as he does, here we’re shown precisely why. TPS is where they really develop the story of Handsome Jack in an amazing way. Athena, who will eventually distance herself from him, says so. Oh, and it’s not just Jack calling himself a hero. Also, we get a deeper understanding of why Jack believes himself to be a hero. She was a character from BL1 who helped our heroes get more guns. Here we get to experience the story from Athena’s point of view. Jack kills Roland, I mean, would a good guy do that? He apparently suffers from borderline personality disorder. The writing is amazing, they made him into such a lovable asshole it brings tears to my eyes. Here we’re introduced to a character I feel deserves the distinction of being the best video game villain ever: Handsome Jack. ![]() Later on a DLC containing a psycho called “Krieg” gave an interesting spin to it all but he hasn’t returned. The other characters play their part but I feel don’t really make much of a difference to the story. The only interesting hero in this part is an assassin called “Zer0”. In “Borderlands 2” the characters you played as in the first installment return. But how cool is he? Well, he speaks in haiku.
