My Dead Brother, First Corpses Resurrect and Re- | Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep

Borderlands 2's "Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep" DLC masterfully blends the franchise's signature chaotic gunplay with a Dungeons & Dragons-inspired fantasy adventure, all orchestrated by the ever-unpredictable Tiny Tina. Within this imaginative campaign, the quest "My Dead Brother," encompassing the objectives "First Corpses Resurrect" and "Re-," offers a darkly humorous and unexpectedly touching exploration of familial betrayal and the nature of loss. The player is thrust into a morbid scenario by Simon, a necromancer who casually confesses to murdering his brother, Edgar, out of jealousy. Simon's request is simple yet ghastly: resurrect Edgar, only to kill him again. The initial objective, "First Corpses Resurrect," involves the player interacting with piles of bodies, awakening an onslaught of skeletal enemies that must be dispatched. This leads into the "Re-" or "Re-kill corpses" phase, a cyclical gameplay loop punctuated by Simon's increasingly unhinged and comical commentary on his brother's eternal demise. The quest's absurdity is amplified by a bizarre twist: Simon realizes he's been sitting on Edgar's corpse the entire time. Upon finally resurrecting Edgar, a flame sorcerer, he vehemently denies Simon's narrative and begs the player to kill his brother instead. This presents a darkly comedic moral choice, where siding with either Simon or Edgar offers a minor weapon reward and dictates who assists in a subsequent boss fight. The limited impact of this decision highlights the quest's focus on character interaction and narrative absurdity, rather than profound consequence. Ultimately, "My Dead Brother" serves as a powerful microcosm of the DLC's overarching theme. Just as Tina recreates a world within her imagination to cope with the loss of Roland, the Simon and Edgar story mirrors this struggle with loss and denial, using dark humor and fantastical elements to navigate profound grief.
