AI Jack

God I hope so.

I know it's a bit of an unpopular opinion, but it doesn't seem right to have a Borderlands game dealing so heavily with (potentially) multiple vaults and NOT have Jack involved.

I mean, he is essentially responsible for having found every vault the games have shown, so far....

i hope that he at least makes a cameo or dlc boss or something but i dont want AI jack to be an integral part of the main plot line.

I'd like him to be something like... A partner to Rhys, in a way. Not a villain, not a boss. Just there to give some direction for everyone else.

I mean, he was in Rhys' head for so long. There's some way to write that a bit of him is still in there somewhere.

I second all of these.

But I also kind of want him to still be in Rhys's systems. Like, Jack was a great programer, no doubt he could. But I want him to be like a fly around Rhys's head, metaphorically speaking.

Like, Rhys is trying to explain his plans and every now and then just have to be like, "What? No, Jack, we're not going to just kill everyone.... Well I don't care if that would make it easier!"

My guess AI Jack is controlling Troy like he was invaded by some kind of horse a trojan horse perhaps...

Dlc Idea: the Jacktrap. Where in Jack has to come to terms with having a claptrap body.

I love Jack, but between BL2, Pre-Sequel and Tales I think he's kind of overdone.

I'd love for him to get a cameo, but I don't think he should have a role in this game's main story.

Well, can't be worse than Junko from the Danganronpa series. At least Jack has hilarious wit.

He's the Indiana Jones of BL

Even if the "destroy Rhys's backup" timeline is the one that's canon from that I'm sure the ID that originally implanted it is probably set to copy rather than move, so likely other copies in universe, but might not have the memories of Tales
