my man i am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that all your posts including this one have been words of advice for people new to the series since we don't get really in depth with mechanics in this LSP but i need to point out two things:

1) the game absolutely does not prevent you from selling items you favorited. the only thing favoriting does is make it so if you bulk sell trash it'll sell everything not favorited.

2) we're not going to slow down to punch every pile of poop that sounds really boring to watch and entirely unnecessary when we can just go to sanctuary and open all the boxes/chests


Yeah, sorry about that. I used bulk selling all the time when I played instead of clicking. My memory is a bit fuzzy since it's been a few years since i last played. I was posting the enemy stuff for new players, not you guys, but you're welcome to use it if it's helpful. Let me know if I should stop. Speaking of corrections, I was confusing Badass stalkers with Rabid Stalkers. Again, sorry.

s'all good just i had to read it a few times before realizing it wasn't a callout post saying we didn't know how to play the game or something! don't mind if someone's leaving tips where we aren't, we're kinda just shooting the poo poo while we shoot the poo poo

What is that bear doing there?


The best purpose for all the piles of junk and trash boxes etc is to replenish ammo. If you're not running low on munitions they're perfectly fine to ignore. Really though this game is super forgiving you can just play however you want.

Oh they did that too. It's just they also loved to cheese the boss fights by one-shotting them with Bloodwing. Considering I had built Roland up as a medic; I was pretty useless.

Seven idiots and a bear walk into a dragon's lair.

If you're wondering who Timothy Lawrence is or why the body double is or isn't him, he was a playable DLC character for the Pre-Sequel and he's Jack's very first body double. This one isn't him because Timothy doesn't use a hologram to look like Jack. Timothy was trying to pay off his student loans and unwittingly agreed to participate in radical reconstructive surgery that changed his appearance and his voice. He's loving great and I love him and he's definitely not dead.

Christ, that person just goes on and on and on

Still, interesting if true. It would be neat if the DLC is the "Borderlands 2 crew goes to the Hyperion space-base at the same time as the Tales crew does" scenario Kaubocks predicted back during that LP. Bonus points if all you get to use during the DLC is Finger-Guns.

They're actually right behind the Tales crew and rescue Scooter (somehow) because gently caress Scooter dying. Gimme more Scooter.

mikey neumann doesn't work at gearbox anymore because his body could sadly no longer keep up with the work involved :(

from the sounds of it it was a completely amicable departure (because who in their right mind could get mad at mikey neumann!!) so it probably wouldn't prevent him from doing some minor voice over work, but idk how much he could realistically do

that said i'm not super heartbroken if scooter stays dead. like i love having him around but man it was a really impactful moment for me in tales and i don't think i'd want to undermine that

He had a stroke in 2011. He was later diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and was hospitalized last year for auto-immune failure. Wikipedia doesn't go any further.

My point is that it may be due to his health that Tales killed Scooter off. Perhaps it was a "just in case" thing in the event he's unavailable due to his health.

i'm unsure, honestly. it didn't feel like a "just in case" thing to me because the fact that gearbox allowed them to do something like that at all is pretty nuts? going into tales i figured it'd be just a fun little side story, but scooter's death blows that wide open. then they go even further than that and change the borderlands overarching plot in ways that basically makes the game mandatory going forward-- so much so that i honestly believe either BL3 is going to open with what happens in tales or this supposed rumored new BL2 DLC has to deal with it instead.

so... yeah it's a bit nitpicky but it doesn't come across as something they did as "hey just in case mikey can't be around for BL3 let's off scooter now". mikey's health concerns very well could have informed the decision on who they wanted to kill off but letting them kill someone off in the first place is wild and probably wasn't a decision made lightly

Serious question: Who among Gaige players even uses a non-Anarchy build? Like, once I got a serious electric assault rifle from Roland I tried respeccing into Shock & AGGGH and that was cool, but it wasn't "Kill something behind me" cool.

Idle thought: Does multiplayer let you run multiples of the same hero? Because I'd love to see three or four Gaiges, each specced differently.

e: Anarchy, not Discord. I forgot, Discord is the Anarchy-spending heal.

If Borderlands 3 happens, Lilith should be a total obsessive Erdium addict villain, that will kill and do anything, no matter how stupid, for more fix. Maybe show that like Angel, the more she eats the more she needs to eat to even live and maybe get powerful enough to where she can turn organic and inorganic matter into more Eridum. Eventually making her a giant purple glowing blob boss fight or something, I dunno.

Yeah, it's a bit odd that a game that regularly features three minutes of solid shooting to put a dent in something still has cutscene guns, but I suppose the poshest git in all the land can afford them if anyone can.

"What are the good characters in Borderlands?"
"Oof, short list..."
"We're playing as them."

All checks out so far. But then Kaubocks proceeded to list characters beyond Scooter, and proceeded to be extremely wrong.

From what I've seen so far the only good character is Scooter. The player characters don't count because they're blank slates with some set dressing. All the others you've met range from utter garbage to bad. And Scooter's only so good because of his amazing voice actor.

Also, I can't believe you really had to Cheat Engine the drop rate up so much to get what looks like a barely adequate amount of good guns. Playing this game legit has to be the most miserable experience ever.

Whites and greens aren't terrible, but blues and higher tend to be more fun. Anything with red text (Like our dear departed Dubble Gub) has special effects, even if it's just a massive magazine and increased damage like the Gub.
