Borderlands summary plus extra interview (free chapter)
Well, the troubled Borderlands chapter is over.
If I were to rate myself, out of 100 points, I would give Borderlands 35 points. Well, the extra 5 points are due to persistence.
When I first started preparing to write "Borderlands 2", I was actually very hesitant. It is a very good game, indeed very good, especially the shaping of the world and characters are very outstanding and in place. But it is also very good.
Precisely because of the outstanding personality of this game, I still expected the difficulty of this world.
Moreover, Xiao Jing likes this game very much, and also likes this world view. The world view of "Borderland" is actually similar to that of "Mad Max", both of which thoroughly explore the craziest and most primitive side of human nature.
When vented, everyone inside is irrational, even neurotic.
But precisely because of this, the characteristics of each character in "Borderlands" are so distinct. Even the protagonist himself, the character with the weakest sense of existence in the first-person shooter game, also expresses himself through a large number of lines.
and recording to improve.
Therefore, Xiaojing decided to write.
The purpose of this world is actually very clear, to kill Tiandao, obtain the technology of Hyperion Corporation, and pave the way for future plots. However, during the writing process, we encountered too many troubles.
Because I laid out the whole plot too much at the beginning and wanted to write too many things. As a result, I talked about it but never got into the main line. There were too many characters, and I wanted to shape each character.
As a result, none of these characters achieved the effect I wanted.
To be more strict, there is no need to describe too much about the Battle of Blood Fortress, because this promotion of the main plot is just to capture Roland and hand it over to the handsome Jack, and by the way, to show off the muscles of the experimenters. But
In fact, this battle took nearly 20 chapters.
What's even more fatal is that when I was constantly struggling, this book was blocked. This really gave me a blow. You must know that at that time, my book was at its peak, and it had just made it to the top of the list with a very good result.
Recommendations on mobile phones, if this momentum continues, we may even have the confidence to hit high-quality products.
Then I spent an entire night on all the modification requests that were made that day. However, if I wanted to unblock it, I needed to go through some procedures, so I still lost contact for a week.
This blow was so fatal that after coming back, the subscription for this book was as low as one-fifth or even one-tenth of what it was before! At that time, Xiaojing was really seriously considering cutting off the book.
This book is about to start the next one, and the outline has started to be written.
But later, with the encouragement of many book friends, I decided to stick to it. However, this also led to a very bad writing state during that period, with only two updates a day.
Regarding this matter, I can only say that Xiaojing is still too immature. Necessary driving and description are indeed needed, but it cannot be overdone. I am not sure about this degree, so being blocked is the punishment for my immaturity.
Fortunately, I gradually found the rhythm later. I no longer expect this book to reach such heights, but I still promise to give a happy ending, not anticlimactic, not hasty ending, and complete Tang Yu's story.
Finished. Well, the time to finish the book may be in the second half of next year.
Talking back to this chapter, there are two characters that I spent a lot of time portraying, the master craftsman and the handsome boy Jack.
Handsome Jack is actually very complicated, and he is also one of the most outstanding villains in various games in recent years. He is not the kind of boss with facial expressions, and many things are even said to be anti-traditional, which is what Xiao Jing appreciates the most.
First of all, he is a small character, and the dialogue in the game is full of the feeling of a villain succeeding as a nouveau riche, but he also has persistence and emotions, although they are all twisted.
His persistence is that he wants others not to regard him as a nobody. His emotions come from his daughter Angel. But in order to become a big shot, he builds statues everywhere, forces others to call him Handsome Jack, and enforces strict order.
Bring it to the planet Pandora. He also loves his daughter, but he uses her as the key to recharge the secret and is tortured, which all reflects the distortion and contradiction of this person.
Due to space issues, my description of him is still relatively limited, but in general, I give the description of this character 70 points. I wrote about his neurosis, his madness, his inferiority and his desire, but I
But I couldn't describe the ubiquitous black humor in his dialogues. What satisfied me most was his ending, where he died under the statue he erected for himself.
Then there is the master craftsman.
I have been preparing for this person for a long time, and I have successfully shaped him into an image of a strong man who is powerful but extremely humble. This person is upright, pays attention to reputation, and cherishes his companions. In many ways, he is actually a positive character.
.The only problem is that he is on the opposite side of the protagonist.
Of course, it was a bit disappointing to die in a battle after having laid so much groundwork before. However, in Xiao Jing's view, it would be better for such a character to return to his hometown in despair with failure than to die in battle. Of course.
, he didn’t die spectacularly, he almost died of suffocation in an unfavorable environment. After all, he was indeed much more powerful than Tang Yu.
Master Jiang is the first of the three BOSSs I designed, small, medium and large. There is no need to continue to struggle with him for too long. After all, the protagonist still needs to move forward. In fact, everyone can guess the next plot.
Amaterasu of the clouds, and the infinite thunder god of the diamond group.
Okay, I have said a few more words about "Borderland", so that's it. I hope I can do better in the future, make less mistakes like this, and bring you more exciting novels.
…
Then it’s time for the extras~~~~
First up is the bard, Nemo! The actor, the book friend, Nemo!
Xiao Jing: Why do you want a character like a bard?
Nemo: Because bards can drink!
Xiaojing: Eh? Wine?
Nemo: I once got drunk because of love, which is unforgettable, so I hope that the character Nemo can drink more. I heard that when you are drunk, you won’t think too much and there will be no pain.
Xiaojing: Is that the reason?
Nemo (plucked the strings): I didn't come back as scheduled. This is the meaning of formal farewell.
Xiaojing: Uh... next...
…

Xiaojing: How do you feel about playing a non-human character?
Huang Yinglong: Wonderful, very wonderful. Understand human beings from different types and understand the shining points of human beings. After all, aliens have read The Three-Body Problem.
Xiaojing: Huh? Aliens have read about the three-body problem?
Huang Yinglong: Ham-El has read some works on the Three-Body Problem and Human Beings.
Xiao Jing: Well, it seems that this is an alien who likes human culture very much! So, what do you want to say about Ham-El?
Huang Yinglong: Dark Templar, a very powerful character. It is an honor to play this role, and I have to thank the author. Although the protoss is torn apart in the article, every surviving protoss is not alone, every protoss
All warriors are connected by glory and tradition. No matter which team they are in, they will fight side by side with recognized members. I want to believe that brave men like the protagonist will awaken and walk towards the path of becoming strong.
Xiaojing: Well, I’m looking forward to future performances!
