I've been playing Poker Night 2, and I'm enjoying Claptrap's character, but based on what I've learned, he isn't in Borderlands 1. Do I need to play 1 to understand 2?

No it explains the events and the characters from the first pretty thoroughly. And also the more you play the Borderlands games the more you'll start to hate Claptrap so there's also that.

And yeah he's also in the first.

You can skip BL1 and still know what is up in BL2.

Nobody plays borderlands for the story anyway. There are a couple characters from the first you won't have full context for but it's not a big deal.

Why would I hate Claptrap? I think he's hilarious so far.

Despite this, BL 2 does have a decent story and fun characters as long as you aren't too uptight

No. These games are all pretty stand alone imo.

Personally I would say the story peaks in 2 with an okay/ mediocre story carried by its one good character.

He gets old after a while.

I'm talking Jack. I didn't mean game play characters. I really like the game play of the series >_>
