Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
ລາຍລະອຽດ
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, a spirited entry in the beloved looter-shooter franchise, charts the villainous ascent of Handsome Jack amidst the low-gravity wonders and existential threats of Pandora's moon, Elpis. It masterfully blends the series' signature brand of irreverent humor with a compelling narrative that fleshes out one of its most iconic antagonists, all while introducing fresh gameplay mechanics like enhanced jumping and the vital need for oxygen. The game also offers a vibrant cast of new Vault Hunters and expands the already rich lore of the Borderlands universe.
Nestled within this lunar adventure is a side quest of peculiar charm and surprising depth: "The Empty Billabong." This mission, initiated by the enigmatic Peepot in the desolate Crisis Scar region, is far more than a simple task. It’s a poignant narrative steeped in the spirit of Australian folklore, subtly weaving itself into the grand tapestry of Borderlands lore. The player is drawn into the mystery of Peepot's missing companion, the Jolly Swagman, a name and plight that directly echo the legendary Australian ballad, "Waltzing Matilda."
The journey to uncover the Swagman's fate unfolds across the volcanic scars of Crisis Scar. The player eventually discovers the Swagman’s body, resting tragically beneath a coolibah tree, another evocative reference to the ballad. His final moments are captured on an ECHO recorder, revealing his bewilderment at witnessing a "giant empty billabong with bright purple light shooting out of it" and hearing the "deafening silent prayers of an ancient people." Though Peepot dismisses these as moonstroke-induced ramblings, the player is tasked with retrieving the Swagman’s tucker bag, a perilous endeavor guarded by the formidable, self-replicating Kraggons.
The true heart of the mission reveals itself when the tucker bag yields not a jumbuck, but a baby Kraggon. This unexpected discovery prompts Peepot to question his initial assumptions, hinting at the very real nature of the Swagman’s extraordinary experiences. The "giant empty billabong with bright purple light" is a brilliant, understated allusion to the iconic Vault from the first Borderlands game, while the "silent prayers" speak to the ancient Eridians, a cornerstone of the series' overarching mythos. This clever connection elevates "The Empty Billabong" from a mere side diversion to a masterclass in world-building, enriching the player’s understanding of the Borderlands cosmos. The mission, imbued with distinctly Australian colloquialisms and humor, serves as a fitting tribute to its developers at 2K Australia, offering a bittersweet narrative that blends cultural homage with profound lore.
