There's always hope that uvhm will add armored enemies. But, that all depends on how they end up scaling enemies.. oh god, what a disaster that was in BL2.

Red Belly is a pun on Ned Kelly, who wore homemade armor the in-game enemies are made to resemble (with less red and more "lovely housemade steel plate" color) They should have worked a "stop the boats" line in there somewhere. You've already got the money-grubbing Meriff downplaying the evil genocidal enemy as a harmless mining operation.

Just finished this game, and holy gently caress did I dislike the writing in this, probably for all the reasons that I've seen other people mention in the thread. I definitely get what they were going for, it was just so weirdly and awfully mashed together. Playing with a friend, when Lillith hopped out of a loving portal to punch Jack in the face and hops back in after the final boss I went totally silent over skype because I was just gaping in disbelief at how stupid and contrived that was Game itself wasn't bad and the environments were pretty loving sweet, especially the last zones. Claptrap's action skill was pretty hit or miss but the pirate ship was the greatest thing on the god drat earth.

If so, those doors should have been opened by Springs in the very first little sequence you meet her in, after you get out of the moonshot capsule. If that broke, then...

It's probably because you have disabled startup movies (probably via right clicking the game in your Steam library, properties, advanced options, etc). Anyway, re-enable startup videos until you get passed that part. You can click the "?" under my av for the instructions on how to do this (I'm away from my computer at the moment).

That would have conflicted with Zarpedon, who presumably also used it to gain the knowledge she had, motivating her to capture Helios and try to blow up Elpis. They should have left it unanswered and done it properly in a DLC.

So I ran into a weird issue on PS3: I saw the code earlier for 20 golden keys so I went ahead and created a shift account. Put in the code, went to the shift locker, got my keys, quit the game. Then I signed out, signed in as my SO's account on the PS3, and did the same thing for her character with a different email address. Yesterday I spent a little bit going around Concordia looting up stuff to grind and checking the vending machines then quitting and going back in again. After doing this for a bit I realize that all 21 of my keys are missing. I sign in on my SO's account and hers are gone too. not just gone, but on the badass ranks screen it doesn't even show 0 keys, there's no marker for keys at all. (when I go to the chest it shows 0 keys). Nothing's in the shift box but it does show where we redeemed the 20 key code. I put in an email to Shift support but I'm not expecting much. Anybody else had an issue like this? Do you think it could've been some kind of anti-cheat thing where multiple accounts on the same machine get flagged or something?

wdarkk posted:I was really annoyed when I realized we weren't, in fact, going to fight Lilith. Since the game's story somehow seems to be just way the gently caress out there with little  , lemme just go ahead and offer this take on Lilith being the end boss for the series. Er-hem.Let's say she cranks up eridium production somehow. Like, that increase will probably be worse than Jack's earth-fuckers he's got in the background in 2. Final scenario takes place in wherever the core is for this thing. She's so hopped up on the purple stuff that, well, poo poo gets hosed completely. Portals, universe tears, maybe even time fuckery. Phase 1 would be just trying to get her to fall to a Second Wind, but her Phase is just jacked. Like, elements just ejaculate all over the god drat place it'd be unbearable almost. She falls, slams more eridium into her face, and then Phase 2 where it's much much worse. All while she's spewing some speech about being ungodly and whatnot. Once Phase 2 ends, another hit of alien Final Phase takes place in Fyrestone, circa BL1. Lilith hosed up reality so bad, she's back to being a Level 1 Siren. Also, those tags are completely safe to view and have nothing related to the current plot, I promise. Anyway, since the Final Phase winds up being piss-easy, there's now a time limit in the form of a closing portal. In that time limit, you have to kill Lilith, tell Marcus and the other hunters not to worry about the vault, and hop back into the portal. The ending would vary greatly from character to character, since you're going into an alternate universe somehow. Long story short, you essentially prevent the entire series in the fight. Also yes, I tend to elaborate really stupid possibilities why do you ask.

Ah sorry, I've done that but I thought that was just the bank where you can store weapons but not share them between characters. I must not have been listening carefully.

Of course, the fact that the bank and the stash are several rooms away is just dumb. Of course, the fact that the bank and the stash are separate is just dumb. Of course, the fact that I have to go to a bank at all and can't just call a Claptrap interdimensional courier to handle- well, you get the idea.

There are two. The bigass safe is where you store weapons on your current character, the locker that looks like Claptrap's stash from BL2 is the character-sharing one. The fact that it still only has 4 slots kinda sucks.

So I think I hosed up. I tried to leave as many side-quests as I could for post TVHM ending, and now I'm level 45 at the last part of the game. I don't think I stand much of a chance against the last boss. I already cleared the quests on the Lunar Launching area just to level up enough to not get destroyed by the area just before Eleseer. Any advice?

At 45 and near Elesser? Get a corrosive weapon and kill the enemy moon rovers in Triton outside of Concorida. Easy kills for 1500K xp a pop. Also do more quests. Or have people online carry you.

Also the crossover has to end just as convoluted if not moreso, since we'd probably have two time travelers. Also also, I'm getting around to get the drat game finally. From what I hear from this thread, everyone not named Claptrap is viable all-around. And even then, Claptrap sounds alright.

Claptrap just has a HUGE focus on multiplayer support (/annoyance), and has a bunch of weird mechanics that don't mesh together very well in single-player. There is also the Doppelganger, who comes out tomorrow, if you have the season pass or $10.

I initially thought Wilhelm's "Robot Policeman" line was some kind of reference to the coptrap bot in Concordia, but after finishing the basketbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall quest it became clear and amazing. (Wilhelm worships Robocop Jesus, and when you consider their respective stories it would sound fitting. Hence the "Enforcer" class. )
