WELL THAT JUST HAPPENED!

I played a lot of Borderlands 1 and still do, but couldn't get into Borderlands 2. I even replayed it recently and got about, I dunno, 1/3 of the way through the game, before giving up entirely. If I had to pick a problem I'd have to pick the writing. Yeah it was never great to begin with, but in 1 there were moments where a few side characters that managed to endear themselves. But in 2 it feels that for returning characters they took a research group, asked what was most memorable about that character, and then wrote their dialogue to be only that.

Also it really grated me that the Vault Hunters from last game were now NPCs that had responsibilities and poo poo. Sorry, once a murder-hobo always a murder-hobo (unless you jab Satan into your head) and telling me they 'settled down' is an immediate immersion breaker. :colbert:
