If anyone is curious (and I was, that’s why I’m making this post) Pauling’s voice lines in the new Tough Break update actually introduce a couple of mostly irrelevant (yet still pretty hilarious) new facts about her and the gang. Here is pretty much everything that actually brings anything new character-wise:
Yet another insight into the Pauling/Admin dynamic.
Apparently Pauling is quite fond of alcohol, and gets dangerously honest when drunk.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this the first time Bidwell is mentioned in-game? Also - he hangs out with Miss P. That’s cute.
Speaking of hanging out - Soldier still has his cardboard war friends. Although it seems the gang has grown since Dr. Grordbort’s Crash Landing, as now there’s four of them, not three.
If Pauling judgement is to be trusted, Soldier’s racoon family has grown to “like sixty”.
Spy can play the piano. Not much of a surprise, really. He’s weirdly sadistic when it comes to teaching, though.
He’s into wine tasting as well, even less of a surprise. And there’s no such thing as Chaeatau Matador. Who’d have thought.
Sniper canonically does drugs. And makes drugs. And shares said drugs with his friends.
Also, vision quest apparently is actually a Native American thing. I don’t know what to make out of it. I blame Valve.
