I bought it this morning and played a little bit of the first chapter. I know absolutely nothing about Borderlands so I'm kind of lost as far as the story goes, but I'm enjoying it so far. Playing as two different main characters is interesting.
I havnt played any of the Borderland games. Even though I love Telltale games I would probably play a few Borderland games, just go get into the story, before jumping into this one.
I finished the first episode this morning. Fun! It's a lot more light hearted than TWD and Wolf Among Us which makes the decisions a lot less tougher but still, it's keeping me entertained. What I like about the laid backedness is that I'm a little bit more inclined to be a dick, especially as Rhys.
I lol'd hard when I died and the guy we're telling the story to is like "Uh... I know you didn't get killed by a bandit because you're sitting right here" "Oh, yeah..."
Choices

Rhys Choices
- Made the Loader Bot self destruct. Figured he was done for anyway what with him getting ripped to pieces.
- I trusted Sasha.
- I chose Vaugn over the deal... first of all cause Vaugn rules and second cause that dude is obviously going to try to kill us one way or another anyway so yeah.
- I picked the Riot Shield and Rockets for the Loader Bot. Kind of random.
Fiona Choies
- I grabbed August's hand away.
- I invited Shade.
- I shot Felix... sort of a kneejerk reaction.
- I took the Steve mask. I didn't have a big reason for doing this nor do I know if it changed anything. I'm thinking I wasted money doing this. Oh well.
Apparently they're keeping track of a lot of different choices in this game but mostly through the website which they advertised the fuck out of. I didn't register out of laziness.
Finished the first ep. Pretty fun! Definitely a lot different TONE than TWD/TWAU, so it was a nice change of pace to actually laugh at one of these games rather than be constantly depressed

Rhys:
- Self-destructed Loader Bot. Could he really escape if I told him to? He was missing at least an arm and a leg. Might as well make himself useful one last time!
- Trusted Sasha
- Chose Vaughn. I don't even like Vaughn that much but p easy decision. It's either go back to my soulless corporate job or try my luck with Fiona and Sasha. Of course, either way we know it'll end badly anyway (:
- Machine Gun + Grenades
Fiona:
- Grabbed August's hand
- Let Shade accompany me
- Let Felix blow himself up. I probably would've shot him but I wasted my bullet on August earlier (:
- Took the Psycho mask. I wanted the third mask (can't remember what it was) but it was like $10 too expensive, and I didn't like the Steve mask, so figured might as well stash that money away for later
That big bouncer at August's bar was my favorite. I was so happy to see him in the teaser for 1x02
"Angry eyes detected."
"Please stop shooting me."
"Why must the universe punish the good?"
"The metal is willing, but the spirit is weak."
"Come with me if you want to leave" (purposefully sounding like the terminator quote)

All from loader bot. Seriously you guys, save loader bot. Best choice I've ever made.
finally picking this back up, almost done with episode 3. Really really enjoying it. The writing/voice acting for this game has been excellent. Lots of genuinely funny moments
One of my favorite things has been the opening credit sequences actually. That's been really well done in all 3 episodes
I kinda want to pick this back up again now that I have somewhat of an idea behind th story behind Borderlands. I never played a game when I played the first episode so I was totally lost.
