What else?
It's Steamworks. Very nice.
The original Vault Hunters are all be in game as NPCs, including a 'live' Lilith.
There's a dashing bad guy, Handsome Jack, who has taken over the Hyperion Corporation and built himself a moon base from which he can shoot down robot reinforcements.
Gun manufacturers are way more significant in the new game. Bandit weapons have huge magazines. When you reload a Tediore weapon you chuck it like a grenade and it explodes (the rocket launchers actually shoot a rocket). Maliwan is sexy and elemental. Vladoff weapons have insane fire rates. Jakobs guns fire as fast as you can click/pull the trigger. Torgue guns? EXPLOSIONS! Etc. Non-gun loot (grenades, mods, artifacts, skins, heads, etc.) is also be randomized and way more diverse than BL1. Grenades that create a mob-sucking singularity before exploding in corrosive acid and also giving transfusion health? Yes please!
Main game bank for storing items and transferring items between characters.
New currency: eridium. Can be used to buy inventory, ammo and bank upgrades on the black market.
Lots of new bad guys - mobs and bosses - including some that will evolve Pokemon style into much more dangerous forms if you don't kill them quickly.
Character skins and heads:
New element: slag! Slagged enemies are more susceptible to damage.
You can move while in Fight For Your Life mode - yay!
New end game raid boss -- Terramorphous the Invincible -- supposed to make Crawmerax look like a sea monkey.
Gearbox has committed to 4 DLC, along the lines of Knoxx in scope they say, by June of 2013. Price is $10 each (or comparable) and there is a season pass to get all 4 for $30.
And, oh yes, midgets on shields...

I'm 50 hours in and not yet done with my first playthrough.
When they took the quest.
Currently playing: GW2 and TSW
Shotguns? Finding amazing ones.
Sniper rifles? Swimming in them.
Anything that fires more than one shot a second? Jack shit.
Currently playing: GW2 and TSW
phaselock, then shotgun the target, then become functionally invincible and mop up

You also look like you mean business with a hulking shotgun instead of a SMG.
Seriously game it drops automatically the first time. Fuck you.

It's still rare to find an average enemy I can kill without reloading. Fuck that bullshit.
As Zer0, I'm one shot critting enemies in 2.5. Sniper specced and using the Trespasser sniper rifle. My Anarchy specced Gaige isn't too shabby either. I have some legendary shotgun that isn't all that impressive, high crit dmg and a slightly tighter spread.

anarchy should be one-shotting 'average' enemies

One of my favorites is the one that tells you "Hyperion thinks it is a good idea to swear revenge against the thing that killed you unless it is an inanimate object like a cliff."
You've made a powerful enemy today, cliff.
Cliffs are dicks.

I wish he'd do that on a site that wasn't horrible.
Oh well.
they will still kill you in a second though
that never goes away
Does anyone want to kill Terramorphous on pc "soon"? I never killed Craw, and still don't have any of the dlc's yet so I guess my farming options are limited.
Just need to correct this, Curly. Otherwise, good OP.
VLAAAADOOOOOOOOOOOF.
Also you forgot the great TORGUE.
Seems... odd. The default skin just looks very desaturated compared to the promos.
Feel free to give me a ping. I've only run Terra once with @Elderlycrawfish, which took us a few attempts. Although it probably would have been easier if I had some level 50 weapons other than a rocket launcher and shotgun.
Yeah, got on that curly. Geesh.
