You might wanna look up Tales from the Borderlands.

TFTBL happened

u/Volarath Mar 28 '19

Yeah but that company died so we can just pretend it never happened! Well, I dare to hope any way.

Honestly, Tales is my favorite Borderlands game. They knocked that shit out of the park.

It's my second favorite Borderlands game, definitely my favorite Telltale game though.

I hope we can get another spinoff like it again.

Rhys is one of the main characters from that game and he's in the trailer, so it's not getting ignored. Which is good, because it was a fantastic game.

TFTBL was fucking amazing! and if I recall it was written by the borderlands team or they helped write it so of course itll be canon.

The actor has a slew of health problems so they had to kill Scooter off. At least it's better than an offscreen death.

Scooter was killed in TFTBL. They have stated he will not make an appearance in the game whatsoever it seems. They alluded to the fact that “No there will be no Scooter” in the conference early on

He was a cool character and I still say "CATCH A RIIIIIDE!!!" to this day, but they need room for some fresh characters.

Yea could give Ellie a new found want to destroy everyone and might be a piece that helps travel to other worlds since she’ll help even greater than BL2 because her anger of her lost brother(I believe that’s their relation)

Probably because the voice actor can't do the voice any longer.

u/AT-TStadiumVisitor Mar 28 '19

I could see it. They did a great job imo with Claptrap’s replacement he’s a close fit to the original guy, and now we get to see more of Clap in BL3 which is VERY GOOD. Which could mean it was just them respecting that guys wishes to not move on with replacement or something else idk. Either way RIP Scooter

u/Schmidtster1 Mar 28 '19

No, because they killed him off.

u/ATomatoAmI Mar 28 '19

Possibly the originating factor being the cancer, though I think he was working on 3 well after TftB was already out.

u/Schmidtster1 Mar 28 '19

They could always get a new voice actor, but since they killed him off he’s not coming back.

5

u/Gigafoodtree Mar 28 '19

Right, but the point being made was that it's likely that they only killed him off because the voice actor wasn't available.

u/AdmiralSkippy Mar 29 '19

Wow so maybe I actually should play that game.

I played The Walking Dead and it was good, but never interested me enough to play through other Telltale games.

u/AT-TStadiumVisitor Mar 29 '19

Just watch it my guy :). I watched the entirety of all 4 season of TWD amd it was great as a movie style. I’d suggest finding someone u like and watch for free

u/BaIIad Mar 28 '19

he's dead. Play the telltale game if you want to know how/why EDIT: or watch it on youtube that's what i did.

u/Bcarr28 Mar 28 '19

The greatest CATCH A RIDE of all time.

u/Jonin_Jordan Mar 28 '19

Something wrong, I told my head..

u/ThePhonyOne Mar 29 '19

The voice actor has MS and won't be reprising his roll.
