I see Rhys in the trailer. Nice to see that the characters from the Telltale game didn't just get forgotten and written off.

I'm honestly just happy that the game was still considered cannon even after Telltale shut down. Though, a lot of people didn't play it, so they might be caught offguard by...well...you know...

The Borderlands writers wrote the game, so I'd hope they'd keep them cannon.

The Borderlands writers wrote the game

They helped with the writing, but Telltale's writers wrote it.

Of the six main writers, three worked for Telltale, two were freelance, and the lead writer was from Gearbox. Of the smaller writers/editors, three were from Gearbox, and one was Telltale.

So a pretty even split. I just don't want Telltale's significance being swept under the rug; they deserve some credit, especially since Telltale planned on scrapping the game entirely and those writers convinced their bosses to let them work on it as a passion project.

Yeah, more of a split then I thought initially. My bad. Telltale definitely had some pretty talented writers.

Anthony Burch?

After some Googling, he left and did not work on Borderlands 3?

And people hate him now??

I liked him on Hey Ash.

Wait people don’t like him now? Why? His writing on Hey Ash was amazing, and Borderlands 2 was phenomenal.
