Question regarding August and episode 2

HauntmachineHauntmachine
in Tales from the Borderlands

I was wondering if anybody knows if there was anything changed with August if you shot him in the hand during episode one?

    If I recall correctly, nothing changes.

    There wasn't even a mention of it happening?

    No. Only Fiona saying she wasted her bullet trying to kill him when talking to Sasha.

    I can't remember who said it, but someone on the forum speculated that it could potentially alter his ability to shoot someone in the future. Like, say the beginning of episode 3 where he's got the gun pointed at Sasha:

    • With the bullet wound in his hand - he misses.

    • Without - he shoots her.

    And that is just the greatest/cruelest thing in the history of the world (and totally fits in with the whole "this is Borderlands - pacifism will not be rewarded" shtick.)

    If this is the case my scumbag playthrough will save me.

    But I was a jerk to Sasha as Rhys....

    Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

    Fiona is standing still in the doorway of the caravan, still can't make the shot

    Pictured bellow is definitely August.

    That's what I was originally thinking which is why I opened this thread to see if anyone had any info on it.

    Honestly though, I kinda doubt that it would effect whether or not he hits Sasha. He IS right in front of her after all. Bullet wound or no, I doubt he misses if he takes the shot.

    Ah, apologies - I have a shocking memory - but I knew it was a Rhys! ^_^

    That was my exact reaction, too. I swear if that ends up happening I'll just throw my laptop across the room, then start up a new save, play through both episodes (and shoot August) and pretend the whole thing never happened!

    "I mean shoot August! That was my canon playthrough - THAT WAS MY CANON PLAYTHROUGH!!!"

    Worst quality video ever - but it supports my point!
