Chapter 2 - My Turn To Speak, Episode 1 - Zer0 Sum | Tales from the Borderlands | Walkthrough

Tales from the Borderlands is an episodic interactive adventure game developed by Telltale Games in partnership with Gearbox Software, set in the chaotic universe of Pandora. Unlike the mainline Borderlands shooters, it focuses on narrative, character development, and player choices, told through a blend of dialogue, cinematic scenes, and quick-time events. The story is framed as an unreliable recounting by two protagonists, Rhys, a Hyperion company man, and Fiona, a Pandoran con artist, who are held captive and forced to tell the tale of how they sought a fabled Vault key. Episode 1, titled "Zer0 Sum," begins by presenting events primarily from Rhys's perspective as he deals with corporate betrayal and heads to Pandora. However, the narrative structure shifts significantly in its second major section, appropriately referencing "My Turn To Speak." At this point, the masked figure holding Rhys and Fiona demands to hear Fiona's side of the story, granting players control of her viewpoint and actions leading up to the central conflict. This part of the episode delves into Fiona's life as a con artist on Pandora, living and working alongside her sister Sasha under the guidance of their mentor, Felix. It establishes their world of scams and survival, culminating in Felix revealing his grand plan: selling a counterfeit Vault Key to what he believes will be a wealthy buyer, ensuring their financial freedom. The section focuses on Fiona's preparations for this major con, particularly her meeting with August, the supposed middleman for the deal, at a dangerous location known as the Purple Skag. Through Fiona's eyes, players witness the harsh realities of Pandora, including a sudden act of violence during this encounter. Player choices during dialogue sequences influence how Fiona interacts with August and shapes the unfolding events, setting the stage for the convergence of her scheme with Rhys's desperate quest. This chapter effectively introduces Fiona's motivations, her relationships, and the criminal underworld element of the plot, running parallel to Rhys's narrative before their paths inevitably collide over the fake Vault Key.
