Except for Vaughn who's an idiot in his underwear, and Rhys who so far is a pathetic pushover who's there for mustache jokes more than anything.

I dunno, seems odd.

I actually just finished the part on Athenas where we met her and brought her aboard. She seems like she has a really high potential for being annoying

Not at all, I just thought it was odd. Seems like something that didn't happen by chance.

I actually liked Ava because she's the only one who ever tells Lilith how it is.
Also I'm pretty sure every character in Borderlands is gay unless you're told otherwise.

Is the game worth picking up? I enjoyed Borderlands 1 and 2, didn't get the prequels

I beat BL2 with a friend and we'd get drunk while playing and I don't remember a damn thing about the story lol.

Umm that's not the case at all... She was clearly the reason Maya died and never showed any kind of remorse or growth from it. Instead she just blamed Lilith.

It's not bad so far. The writing is definitely lacking compared to to 2, but there's been some parts I've chuckled at. The shooting itself is still tight and punchy and the soundtrack is pretty decent. Enough to keep me playing so far.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the twins, been doing a lot of side stuff and dabbling in one of the DLCs.

Even they fit the theme though, the female twin is a badass energy siphoning Siren, and the brother is, at least so far, a weakling literal parasite to his sister

the twins would have been much better had they not randomly thrown away the obvious foreshadowing and twist that was going to happen but never did

You're right, because games were made that way for a long time. When something breaks the mold you're used to, you usually notice it. Weird how that works, huh?

Wait, THEY DID WHAT!?

That's it fuck Randy Pitchford, fuck Gearbox, and fuck Anthony Burch. Maya was one of the very few actually good characters and they killed her off fuck all of them.

Games sucks, every character is insufferable, and by the time I put it down they had nerfed all the fun builds into the dirt while doing nothing to buff broken characters.

Okay fair enough, I just hate post-BL1 Lilith so much that the moment someone yells at her I'm on their side.

The more I look into BL3's plot there I think it should have never existed. Literally so many loose ends introduced in BL2, pre-sequel. and the adventure games and they decided they needed to use more dead memes and trying to make it "relevant" to modern day when they never needed to.

All they ever had to do was tie up loose ends and conclude the Handsome Jack saga. That's it. That's all they ever had to do and they couldn't even do that. I fucking hope Gearbox goes bankrupt and shuts down.
