[Ep5 Ending] Vault Hunter Exorbitant Fee

[Skies Afire]

Just finished up Episde 5 of Tales from the Borderlands, and it was AMAZING!!! Though I am very curious about the vault hunter exorbitant fee option towards the end. Did anyone pick it? How much was the fee and was anything different?

I don't know how much it was normally, but if you spare Felix and select him for the team, he'll leave you with more than enough money to buy the Vault Hunter's contract but I can tell you that the Vault Hunter you hire is Claptrap.

Ugghhhh. I spent money on other stuff but I was hoping that the character would actually be one of the other living hunters from BL1/2.

Honestly this is the worst kind of reoccuring joke.

You can blame the people who kept wanting him in the game. "Hes one of the essential people in borderlands!" people said so of course he was gonna make an appearance. Heck even the dialouge options make it seem like TT didnt want him there

Kind of a bummer honestly once I finished it and looked into who it was I thought: "Oh god I'm sure the entire last fight would of been amazing him being there!"

Is it really Claptrap? I looked at it and got so excited to see Nisha, Maya, and Kreig in the grayed out images.

Where was the video? I couldn't find it

I found him hilarious. I never really played much of the main games, so his attitude was refreshing.

I wondered why Claptrap was listed in the credits...

It really isn't.
His part of the fight involves him creating a bunch of weird growths on mecha Gortys (Rocket pods I guess..?) and launching some cluster missiles in the air.
I think maybe one actually hits the Vault Monster, the others you have to actually QTE dodge all the while constantly tripping up and generally being incompetent.
It's both visually and thematically pathetic and disappointing compared to all the awesome moves the other characters do in that sequence.

Claptrap is widely hated and has an obvious divide in the community, so I have no idea why the devs actually catered to this request.
About the only redeeming qualities was just like Stalkermaster said in that all the dialogue and other characters are pretty much in agreement that he's just an annoying burden joke crap character.
'What's your refund policy?" was one of Fiona's better lines ;)

It was amazing. The crushing dissapointment was the best part. Also he does straight-up-gangsta style drive by shooting on the Traveler, which was the best thing I've ever seen.

Having Felix alone doesn't seem to do it, you need to make a team with him first

Yeah he only gives you the money if you make contact with him, which you can also not do if you either killed him or thought you killed him. But he leaves once you make the team and you choose someone else so you should always pick him
