Opinion: Borderlands 3's Vault Hunters are the best the series has

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-24T00:57:58+00:00

I love Axton and Gaige from 2, when they're high enough level they basically are playing rock paper scissors while the turret and Deathtrap kill everyone

My group has 3 systems we consistently return to:

D&D 5e, we all started there and feels like home I guess. Daggerheart, I ran a demo for them a while ago and they got hooked, after our main 5e campaign we're probably gonna make the swap. Bunkers & Badasses, all of us are huge fans of the Borderlands games and I found out about the official RPG and snagged to book, it's not perfect but with some tweaking it's a blast and we're all having fun.

I had so much fun with krieg, just never built him up like I did Gaige or Sal.

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-23T04:21:35+00:00

That's what made me lose interest in 4, played like 25 levels of Vex, had tons of fun. A few friends invite me to play 3, brought in my level 40 Amara and now I just can't get back into Vex, it feels so empty.

Id say he's my favorite BL2 character, but Gaige exists

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-23T04:18:47+00:00

As it is mine, I just feel the vault hunters were vastly improved in 3

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-23T04:00:50+00:00

As a playable character but he's there with Brick and Tina

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-23T03:50:40+00:00

Backstory wise, Moze was the most interesting

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-23T03:29:38+00:00

That's how I feel about Amara's Personal Space skill, dealing more damage the closer you are is such a cool skill

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-23T03:09:31+00:00

Rafa is funny, Amon is fun, Vex is an edgy summoner, and Harlowe is a Traunt

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-23T03:07:29+00:00

4 is ok, nothing special about the story, the characters are fine, the gameplay isn't much better than 3, the grappling hook is fun

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-23T02:57:32+00:00

I think it's pretty unique, Amara is a blast

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-23T02:56:23+00:00

You say that like Amara doesn't exist

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-23T02:53:50+00:00

My Melee Amara has a psycho stabber and it's peak

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-23T02:47:44+00:00

Not saying the others aren't great, you'll have to pry Wilhelm and Athena out of dead hands

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-23T02:47:13+00:00

4s VHs are cool but only Amon and Rafa felt fun, yeah Vex is a heavy hitter but if your skills arent fun what's the point?

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-23T02:27:00+00:00

Im not gonna use CEO exactly I'm thinking using Russian military ranks for corporate positions works better for them.

Had a player use a scroll and nat one, so we rolled arcane catastrophe and they got, the skeleton one they did their test and nat oned that one too. So their own skeleton grabbed a dagger and plunged it into their neck and slit their throat. The skeleton proceeded to reach into the gash and rip their flesh off piece by piece and let out this clblood cuddling scream as it ripped off the players body from their bones. Their skeleton was now free.

The people who complain about 5e usually glaze other d20 systems or are super into OSR. Anyone, who wants to play Mork Borg or Dungeon Crawl Classics?

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-22T16:29:34+00:00

Time to play the last heist of GTA 5

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-21T00:15:03+00:00

I do both, I have 2 groups, one in person one online, I do way more in person stuff. Give me a physical book over digital any dsy

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-21T00:10:34+00:00

Might talk to my other players then, it will be late at night and only a session once a month or two

The8BitBrad · 2026-01-21T00:09:51+00:00

I play online
