Isn't that handsome jack? Since when was Aurellion SoL one of the most beloved characters of my favorite game!?
They're both sarcastic and make witty insults to the enemy after all

That "game" actually did a pretty decent job of story-telling. It certainly explained how Athena got captured to be interrogated for Pre-Sequel, at least.
I liked the way Mordecai was portrayed, it really fit his character for when he wasn't doing something to combat Hyperion and instead just normal day-to-day merc work.
Been playing Pre-Sequel with various groupings of myself and 3 buddies lately. Knowing the whole story (so far; please please Borderlands 3) certainly makes things more interesting than if I hadn't seen Tales.
