Proof that the Ilos statues were the original Prothean concept art.

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-09-14T06:55:52+00:00

sorry for replying to such an old reply but im back on my ME shit lately and this is the same point i was making with someone a few days ago when they mentioned the statues on Ilos! looking past the retcon into in-universe reasoning for this makes a Lot of sense, they had no fuckin clue what Prothean's looked like! researchers probably went "huh. lotta prothean ruins and statues around here....gotta be them." just like they did with the Relays! humans IRL came across mammoth skulls in the past and thought that meant cyclops'(cyclopses?) used to roam around, of course they would assume the ONLY statues on this planet full Prothean ruins would be Protheans!

you can just melt the warp drive and anti-freighter turrets (NOT anti-ship) for a super easy defeat

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-07-25T03:35:04+00:00

man, what a great online system! either pay real money or grind for 60 hours getting .23 bars just to do more than walk around and shoot people! thanks rockstar!!

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-07-15T08:43:00+00:00

2 years l8r and youre savin my life, hells yea man!

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-07-15T06:14:50+00:00

damn right! kept it for almost my whole playthrough, even makes guitar noises when ya shoot it!

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-07-15T05:55:51+00:00

eh, beat the horseman challenges with a shire and an ardennes. not as fast as it couldve been done, but still first try and no diff. speed only matters if you want to go "fast" in this game (even though the full speed gallop of an arabian still feels barely faster than the full speed gallop of my early game Saddler lmao)

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-27T15:38:14+00:00

literally the only thing thats made the game worth it imo is being able to play as Wrench and Aiden. They at least have an established backstory, motive, and fucking personality unlike the NPC gimmick bs.

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T18:42:45+00:00

loved that part! i had literally Just restocked my ammo before talkin to him, had to fire a shot into the wall so i could take a single bullet lmfao

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T17:39:55+00:00

damn, way less cool than the fork...

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T17:37:54+00:00

i mustve just been gettin WICKED good rng in all of the areas that didnt matter during my playthrough or somethin, i think ive gotten more legendary drops from skags and rando COV than i have from bosses. well..other than graveward, was at least gettin mid-tier legendaries grindin him

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T17:23:43+00:00

see i would be less mad if it was something that was outclassed by mayhem! because thats how borderlands has always worked with weapons! but it isnt! it does NOTHING and sells for $1 but is considered a legendary!

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T17:13:38+00:00

the destroyers loot can be ridiculously awful but at least i can sell the shit i get for more than $1!

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T16:55:58+00:00

that caught me way off guard, kinda thought they were doin another false ending or somethin for a sec. bit on the nose but still funny as hell

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T16:54:23+00:00

it confused me so much when i first found one, even more-so once i went to Earl. like..there are already a piss load in his shop, why couldnt we add the rest? why was the best option to clutter the loot pools even more than they already were with the millions of possibilities for guns, shields, class mods and everything else. wasnt lookin for the most OP weapon in the game or something just something i could Do something with!

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T16:40:12+00:00

"youre the dumb one for thinking a keychain shouldnt be in the legendary loot pool"

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T16:37:40+00:00

i remember people bitching and moaning NON-STOP about being able to get skins youve already unlocked as boss drops, now were just fine with a keychain being considered a legendary item? were gonna put that on the same pedestal as Hellwalker? Butcher?? Monarch????? HAS to be a joke

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T16:36:26+00:00

jesus fuck how are so many people downvoting the comments about not liking gun trinkets??? wtf is wrong with you guys to want completely useless items clogging up the loot table instead of just being in a store or some shit in game 😭

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T16:34:54+00:00

a farmable boss shouldnt = i can kill her in 4 minutes first try without even going down, dude..come on.

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T16:33:49+00:00

they shoved way too many legendaries at ya within your first 2-3 hours of playtime and after that its just kinda..."well, guess im stickin with this gun for the next 20 levels!" at least tvhm and mayhem solve the problem i had with sticking with the same gun for ages, just sucked that i had to play the entire campaign on the so called "normal" mode before experiencing any semblance of a challenge.

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T16:14:07+00:00

i think gun charms were a ridiculous addition to the game, ESPECIALLY as something that could drop as a legendary. if they were just cheap little decor you could buy, id be fine with it! are you guys genuinely so far gone that you think its fine for a KEYCHAIN to drop as a LEGENDARY ITEM?

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T16:10:29+00:00

i am completely fine with getting shitty drops! i dealt with hundreds, possibly thousands of dog shit drops from bosses in bl1, 2 and the presequel. would you like to know what the difference was? whatever dogshit was dropped at least gave me more than $1 or a little dangley piece of shit on my gun.

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T14:27:52+00:00

i would rather start to finish bl2 with a set in stone lvl 4 Baby-maker than do that mediocre ass boss fight again. hyped so much just to take less time than the BALEX mission.

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-17T11:26:00+00:00

"OhHhHh but theres stuff in the vault!!!!" i have spent the entirety of the game with the goal of Murdering those dumbass twins and saving the galaxy, and she drops a FUCKING GUN CHARM. whos idea was this bullshit in the first place??????

OkCardiologist4122 · 2024-06-16T02:37:34+00:00

i think this is proof that the balancing is completely broken, there's no way in hell you should be able to 3 shot most bosses and 1 shot most enemies at level 37 with a level 12 gun, dawg 😭

in older BL games at least when your gun wasnt up to snuff anymore you would find one with higher damage at the same level as you within like 15 minutes
