    I like that prozd isn't just doing his normal voices, because he's a professional.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I think the only character that doesn't excite is probably Zane. When I do eventually get this, I'm going to have a hard time picking between the other three, granted I might go with FL4K first, since Mordecai was so fun in the first game and FL4K has some similar themes.

    Fl4k is unquestionably going to be my first character.

    I gotta have a skag companion.

    I don’t usually go for pet classes but FL4K is easily the one I’m most excited for. After that probably Zane or Moze. I’ve loved the previous two Sirens but Amara isn’t doing it for me as much.

    FL4K’s monkey has sunglasses and a gun so I guess I have to use it.

    And deals Radiation damage iirc. Haven't watched the complete video.

    I'm also tempted to go FL4K first.

    I still think I have to go with Amara, the idea of blasting someone with a Kamehameha made of acid and fire is too enticing to pass up.

    Honestly I think this is the first time where I like *all* the characters in a Borderlands game.

    Punch Goddess, Giant Titanfall Robot, Holo-Zekes (I remember how fun holoJacks were), and ProZD. Hard to choose.

    Thanks to a wired controller I will be playing FL4K and Zane at the same time.

    Zane will probably sit back and chill moat of the time but this way I limit my number of redundant play throughs

    Welllllllllllllll shit, that skill calculator is pretty much all I'm gonna do with my free time tomorrow.

    It doesn't have a way to take back points spent easily though. If you want to change your first 5 in a tree and already spent 20 you may as well reset the whole thing.

    Yeah. Amara's phasegrab tree has lots of elemental stuff. I'm good on this. And Moze can get a flamethrower. This game wants to be my friend.

    That was my list too until I watched FL4K's trailer.
    Now I am considering putting FL4K on top because... I like to chase cars.

    Normally I'd be all about the Sniper (which is also the pet class this time?), but Amara's trailer is basically how I ended up playing Maya and Krieg in BL2, and I'm down for more of that.

    So apparently 2K doxxed Supomatto and had his discord and YouTube taken down because he reported on a leak they accidentally caused.
    Oh and they sent people to his house
    Real cool guys

    Yeah, just to reiterate, 2K screwed up their own reveal, then copyright destroyed this guy's channel and sent private detectives (!!) to this guy's house.

    I am really digging Amara's close combat tree. It's not just a melee tree, it has tanky skills and other damage boosts. So it's just slamming into enemies and then punching and shooting them at close range. It's a full on bruiser tree. I really hope their balancing lets the tanky skills make a difference, as I like that playstyle.

    Actually reading Amara's skill trees... she has a skill to activate her Action Skill while it's still on cooldown.

    She is like the weird genetic offspring of Salvador and Krieg, who was also born a Siren.

    She's very versatile.

    What I wanna know is how her stack skills in the middle tree are used. I don't get them.

    Yeah reading amara's skill trees she seems really well balanced and you won't end up gimped when fighting a boss.

    Almost done with Zombie Island on my replay-through. Forgot how fun that DLC was. Not sure if Fort Knox and Claptrap's rebellion will be quicker or longer.

    Things that I haven't been happy to revisit.
    -Vehicles driving like potatoes
    -Rocket launcher wielding enemies are still ass to deal with and I'm hoping someone realizes that maybe if they decide to give a mob a rocket launcher, that said mob should also said mob a side arm and have that used in between rocket shots. Problem is most debs are like, "lets let NPCs wield rockets, but if we have them fire at the same rate as players and/or run out of ammo, they'll be super trivial. So let's up their rate of fire and essentially have them spam the shots." Sure it makes it so that if you can't just trivially mow it down without high damage headshots, but then it's just a shit experience and they really need to stop fucking doing this.
    -Bloodywing action skill can be summarily really OP, to absolutely useless. Either it gets stuck on stupid things, or it doesn't register the mob as attackable (main body of the destroyer is a great example of this) or you set it up for multiple hits, but you get a bout of combat where you only have one target and it can't hit the same thing more than once consecutively (hilarious, if you end up in a spot with a lone lance that decides to drop a turret because then it becomes "thanks for making those points in the beast mastery capstone not a waste."
    -I'm really not a fan of "here are talents that pigeon hole you into using X weapon," when you have a game like borderlands because it really undermines part of the gameplay. I absolutely enjoyed pistol build Mordecai way back when and still enjoy it, but it's a bit annoying when anything that isn't a pistol weapon is usually crap compared to a good pistol or revolved and when you do, well it renders some of your talent choices as irrelevant when using that weapon. I don't think BL2 dropped this because I'm pretty sure Giage had this for a build that needed the SMG, but I haven't really immersed myself in that game to the extend that I have with the first one. Don't know if the presequel did this either since I haven't touched it, it's just in my steam library. If the presequel didn't, I hope BL3 moves completely away from the idea because you want X weapon type doesn't mech well with a game where you collect random loot, hoping you get something that makes you stronger or do super cool shit.

    Now I'm hoping the masher component made it to later games because even outside of a Mordecai pistol build, it was still really fun to have a good revolver that had the masher feature. It just absolutely silly the kind of damage a Mordecai pistol build can get with one, if everything procs, lands and is also considered a crit. I managed to find one that was in the low 200s on base damage, fired seven shots and when I was doing Zombie Island I had to check to see if mobs will still at my level given how quickly I clear some of the waves. IIRC I think Zombie Island was my favorite DLC the last time I played this game. Fort Knox was fun, but I think it had a few rough spots that were either tedious or just annoying.

    The only drawback I ever experienced in Knoxx was the fact that there was only the one fast travel station. Like, it was quicker to just quit out of the game and reload your character then to drive from one side of the map to the, well, middle.

    Yeah after the allure of driving the highways wears off (and it wears off like almost immediately) the lack of fast travel just drives you nuts
