okay for episode 5 I really want the ‘Rule Hyperion’ route to be free of any Jack betrayal. Instead I want Jack to start messing with the Dialogue choices and changing what Rhys says, which steadily get’s worse as the game goes on until Rhys is basically acting like Jack and it freaks him out. Then Jacks like ‘yeah I’m making some improvements to your personality. You’re welcome!’ 8D Like legit think he’s actually doing Rhys a huge favor by molding him into the perfect Hyperion President. (aka Handsome Jack) It would be pretty in character for Jack considering he’ll do Logic gymnastics so all his ‘good deeds’ benefit him more in some way. And if Mr control freak himself is really gonna share power without an obvious back stab then basically ‘rewriting’ Rhys into another Jack he can hop in and out of at will would be very ‘have your cake and eat it’ of him.
Rhys gets to be in charge of Hyperion (technically)
Jack gets to be a giant fuck off space station AND has a physical body AND is still technically fully in charge because Rhys is more or less a face Jack can recode at will.
Once again Jack sets it up so he’s not technically the bad guy at first glance, accept he really fucking is and no-one’s gonna know till it’s too late. (sucks to be you Rhys)
