That presentation is largely a product of the voice actors, who deliver the excellently written script with ease. And while they might impact immersion a bit, the overall presentation is good enough to make up for it. However, these are all to be expected at this point, and if you’ve made it this far into the series, you likely are OK with them. There were also some clipping issues that will bother the more attentive player.
Backgrounds also have some issues, with many of them scrolling by at a much lower framerate, causing a bit of a slideshow effect.
Some people or items will jump around a bit, as if they lost frames during their movement. The animation issues that have plagued Telltale games as of late are still present, and even seem to be worse in this episode. Unfortunately, things aren’t totally perfect in Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 5.
#Tales from the borderlands episode 5 intro series
The very end might be about the same for everyone, but the journey, even right up until that end, will be different enough that most players will want to run through the series again, just to see how it changes. All of these things matter by the end of Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 5, allowing you to change the way the story plays out in multiple ways. How much money you saved, who you helped and who you didn’t, what you said to this character and how they reacted. Here that is certainly not the case, as all of the choices you have made over the course of the series culminate in a final act that is totally shaped by you. Telltale has been known to cheat their endgame a little, whittling away at your previous choices so that everyone ends up in the same place.
Most of the time it is a question of if the choices feel profound, but for the finale it becomes, “do all of my choices effect the outcome”. Of course, the other aspect of a Telltale game, and finale specifically, are the choices. This dichotomy of drama and humor has become a trademark of the series, and Episode 5 shows exactly why. Then, as if to cheer you up from the awful things Telltale has put you through, you’ll find yourself cracking up at some truly funny moment, quote, or situation that are all deftly handled within the script. Multiple moments in this finale will have die hard fans crying, with some truly shocking turns of events that fans will love and hate at the same time. While the opener might surprise you with its sudden shift, you just have to be patient and everything will end up paying off in more ways than you might have even imagined.Īlso on the story front, ‘The Vault of the Traveler’ doesn’t pull any punches in either the humor or dramatic elements that have made this series so great. Telltale has worked their magic though, tying up almost every loose end, while still not coming off as rushed or hacked together. Going into Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 5 it felt as though there was just too much going on to be easily wrapped up in one more two hour entry. ‘The Vault of the Traveler’ doesn’t pull any punches Of course, nothing goes quite to plan, but even when the plot shifts in a new direction, it is always for the better. By the time the exceedingly excellent intro music kicks in you’ll have a good idea of how things are shaping up for the rest of the adventure. While Episode 4 dragged a bit, spinning its wheels as it set the pieces up for this finale, Episode 5 hits the ground running and barely stops to take a breath.
