Emva kwe-Crumpocalyptic | Borderlands 2: Ukuhlasela kuka-Tiny Tina e-Dragon Keep | Njengo-Gaige, ...

I-Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, ekhishwe ngoJuni 2013, iyiphakethe lesine elikhulu lokulanda okuqukethwe umdlalo. Ihlukile esimweni somdlalo wangempela ngokudlala abadlali ezweni elimangalisayo elakhiwe ngaphakathi komdlalo we-"Bunkers & Badasses," olufana neDungeons & Dragons endaweni yonke yeBorderlands. UTiny Tina ungumphathi womdlalo, ulandisa uhambo futhi uvame ukushintsha izwe nemithetho yalo ngokusekelwe emqondweni wakhe. Lokhu kuvumela ukuhlanganiswa okuhlukile kwezinto ezingelona iqiniso—njengamathambo, ama-orcs, ama-golems, izihlahla, nama-dragons—nemishini yokudubula yomuntu wokuqala, umdlalo ogxile ekutholeni impango weBorderlands. Indaba isebenzisa le ndawo engelona iqiniso njengesizinda sokuthi uTiny Tina aphathe usizi lwakhe ngokufa kukaRoland, umlingiswa omkhulu kusukela endabeni enkulu yeBorderlands 2, ngokumfaka njengomlingiswa we-NPC emdlalweni wakhe. Ngaphakathi kulo mdlalo omuhle kakhulu, abadlali bangathatha izabelo eziningi ezikhethekile eceleni kwezabelo eziyinhloko zendaba. Esinye isabelo esinjalo yi-"Post-Crumpocalyptic," ukuseshwa kwempango okude okuhlanganisa izindawo eziningi ezweni leDragon Keep. Le ndawo iqala eFlamerock Refuge, idolobha elikhulu, lapho umdlali ekhuluma noMad Moxxi endaweni yokudla. UMoxxi uchaza ukuthi ngenxa yesiphonso se-"Crumpocalypse" esicatshangelwa ukuthi sakhiwe yiHandsome Sorcerer, idolobha alinayo indawo yokudla eyanele, ikakhulukazi ama-crumpets. Umnika umsebenzi wokuqoqa noma yimaphi ama-crumpets abawatholayo ngesikhathi sohambo lwabo. Igama lesabelo ngokwalo liyisiqalo senkulumo kaTina emdlalweni wangempela, lapho elindele "i-crumpocalypse" ngokudla ama-crumpets amaningi kakhulu. Inhloso enkulu ye-"Post-Crumpocalyptic" ukuqoqa ama-crumpets angu-15 esewonke, namaphathi amathathu atholakala endaweni ngayinye kweziyisihlanu ezinkulu: iFlamerock Refuge, i-Unassuming Docks, iThe Forest, i-Mines of Avarice, neLair of Infinite Agony. Lokhu kudinga ukuhlola okukhulu futhi kuvame ukufana nokuqhubeka kwendaba eyinhloko, njengoba ukufinyelela ezindaweni ezizayo njengeMines neLair kudinga ukuqedwa kwezabelo zendaba ezifana ne-"Denial, Anger, Initiative," "Dwarven Allies," kanye "A Game of Games". Ukuthola ama-crumpets kuhlanganisa izinselele eziningi. EFlamerock Refuge, iphathi elilodwa lidinga ukuhamba ngokucophelela ngentambo efana nentambo, elinye lifukulwa kusuka enqwabeni yamathambo eduze kwezitha zesicabucabu, kanti elesithathu lihlezi phezu kwebhokisi eduze komnyango weThe Forest. E-Unassuming Docks, abadlali kumele bahambe phezu kwezindlu ukuze bafinyelele iphathi elilodwa, bathole elinye endaweni yokudoba egadwe amathambo (okuhlanganisa nokungenzeka iBadass Skeleton), futhi bathole elokugcina eduze kweDice Chest ezinsaleni ezinezakhamuzi zamathambo nama-golems. IThe Forest iveza izithiyo zayo: elinye i-crumpet litholwa ngokudonsa ibhakede emgodini esendlini kaMadala uGlenn umkhandi wezinsimbi (indawo futhi eyatshalelwa ngesikhathi sesabelo esithi "Ell in Shining Armor"), elinye litholakala eduze kwesidumbu ekampeni eligcwele izicabucabu, kanti elesithathu lidinga ukudubula ikheji endaweni yokuhlala yama-orc. EMines of Avarice, elinye i-crumpet liku-minecart elishesha lapho lisondelwa, elinye litholwa ngokudubula isigubhu esiqhwayo ukuze kwehliswe ikheji elinesilinganiso esiphansi, kanti elokugcina lilele endaweni ephakeme okudinga ukuwa kusuka phezulu. Okokugcina, iLair of Infinite Agony inama-crumpets ezindaweni eziyingozi: elinye ngengxenye phezulu kwe-elevator shaft elidinga isikhathi esiqondile noma ukuwa, elinye endaweni ephakeme afinyelelwa ngesitebhisi eDeath Quencher Well, kanti elokugcina endaweni ephakeme encane eWailer Drop shaft, okudinga ukuwa okucophelela okunye. Ngaphandle kwenselele yomdlalo yokuthola ama-crumpets, isabelo sinikeza ukuqonda okukhulu komlingiswa kanye nokuhlekisa ngokuxoxa. Njengoba umdlali eqoqa ama-crumpets, uTina wembula indlela yakhe yokudla encane kakhulu, ethi ama-crumpets—ama-griddle cakes enziwe ngolwengulo kanye nemvubelo—yikho konke akudlayo. Lokhu kuholela ekukhathazekeni okuvela kuLilith, Mordecai, kanye noBrick, amaVault Hunters okuqala adlala umdlalo weBunkers & Badasses naye. Bazwakalisa ukungakholwa nokukhathazeka ngezempilo yakhe, okwenza kube nezigameko ezihlekisayo lapho bevinjelwa khona uTina ukuba bamphoqe ukuba adle isaladi. UTina uqale asabele ngokwesaba ("KUNGANI KULUHLAZI KUBONAKALA NJENGODEVELI!") kodwa bese evuma ukuthi kunambitheka kahle, okuthola kuyinkinga ngoba ukujabulela isaladi kumenza azizwe efana nomuntu omdala, into ayiphikisa. ULilith umqinisekisa ukuthi "ukuba ngumuntu omdala" akuyona into eqondile, eveza ukuthi bona, njengabantu abadala, basanda kuchitha isikhathi beqoqa ama-crumpets angamanga ukuze bazijabulise. Lokhu kuxhumana kuqhakambisa izindlela zokubhekana nobunzima zikaTina ezifana nezasengane kanye nomthetho wokuxhasa, nakuba ungavamile, awuhlanganyela namanye amaVault Hunters. Ngemuva kokuqoqa wonke ama-crumpets angu-15 ezindawe...
