farming plots in bl4... it doesnt belong to bandits unfortunately but still...

SO GOOD DUDE. BL3's loot already didn't feel valuable, so adding that auto-sell made sense in a game where most loot is disposable. I'm glad that isn't returning. Makes me more confident that loot matters this time.

Those skill trees... are WAY more interactive than BL3/Wonderlands. There's so much interactivity between mechanics to get you to play in different ways and the augments/capstones seem to evolve your playstyle and actually sound exciting???

It's a far cry from FL4K dominance and Amara Forceful Expression. Dominance had NOTHING to do with any of the skills and forceful expression is a powerful stat boost that works on its own, kinda boring.

If you've read down the skill trees, bells should be ringing in your head. There are lower tier skills that increase splash damage, benefiting from a singularity. And a skill that increases the damage you take and deal.

And I can tell Vex and Rafa play very differently already. Rafa's all about managing overdrive, while Vex is a bit more micro with cycling through your spectres/reapers. The visuals and hand gestures are much more expressive, and the return of melee override's is great in helping them feel unique. Can't wait to see Harlowe and Amon.

i hope the UI tones down the bloat. The xp octagon, enemy UI, and weapon wheel is too much. The game's focus is exploration, it kinda gets in the way of that.

custom fonts, if the actual in-game title cards look anything like this... we are fucking back.

[botilogs]

I'm gonna pass on pre-ordering the BL4 super deluxe. I'm getting the DLC VHs/story stuff down the line but that bounty pack...

Wonderlands PLC didn't hit the mark. If it's anything close to that $30 is a HUGE ask. And vault cards do nothing for me.

[botilogs]

full skill trees in less than two weeks, hope we get to see for amon and harlowe too

Wonderlands is free on epic btw pls claim it its worth a playthrough

[botilogs]

If Wonderlands is supposed to follow up the last BL game using the same base...the prospect of a Wonderlands 2 sounds more exciting.

An open-world borderlands fantasy? Maybe Butt Stallion mounts? They could do so much with it.

every day i read worlds of borderlands and every year i find weirder shit in it

like. this it the Worst attempt at fixing a plot hole ever. the raiders SOMEHOW put her in jail, FREED HER BECAUSE OF A WEIRD ALIEN THING and you're telling me in bl3 she just resorts to calling you whore. she should be, at the minimum, offended

[botilogs]

Moxxi's Big Encore machine sounds too grand for a simple boss respawn mechanic. I wouldn't be surprised if they put a way to add boss mechanic modifiers when you respawn them. There already are enemy modifiers in the world so it makes sense to me.

[botilogs]

that's exciting. for the most part i think BL3 did a good job at getting players to play its content, but the actual loot chase was the most mind-numbing in the series. Great to see they're focusing on making the loot chase actually fun.

Oooooooh. You can already see this in the weapons and enhancements. There's a focus on the actual synergies between items and parts than having all power on one thing. Already so much more interesting. BL2/TPS fans will have more to chew on.

ngl it's very freeing to not care about canon. especially with how messy game dev can be there's no use in being fussy about lore inconsistencies. I'm still mourning Aurelia, Athena, and Vaughn ofc but all I care about now is BL4's story to be good in its own right.

Feels like a waste of energy to still be upset about these characters. IG that's why i really want to love the new cast so we can finally move tf on. just sucks how the last 6 years have been a Borderlands story dry spell for me.

Since guns can spawn with different licensed parts, what separates a Jakobs vs. Order pistol with the same set of licensed parts? The stats? Are there base gun brand buffs? Just the overall aesthetic?

Anyway, its an interesting direction. You get the realized aesthetic of BL3's guns but also embracing the importance of part variations. While also making the most out of a smaller scope(?? I wonder how much part variants there are.)
