I bet he gives the best hugs. When he's not trying to murder you, that is.

Maaaan, I felt so bad killing him. Other than killing Maya, he didnt reaaaallly do anything bad
I really dont get the war with the Calypsos pff

Oh, I love Troy. But honestly, I think BL3 would have had a more compelling story if Troy had betrayed Tyreen and struck out on his own. It felt like he was at a breaking point after getting Maya's powers and becoming a lot more independent with all his talk about how Tyreen's usually the one with the spotlight, blah blah, but he still just acted as his sister's pet. Which made his death kind meh and unimpactful.

And then there's Zane. I love Zane.

[/quote] I have a lot of things to say about the story and most of my grievances stem from what an awfully written character Ava is. Not that she's a well-written, character who is meant to be annoying, but whoever wrote her, did it so badly that her very existence annoys me. And why did Lilith give command of the Crimson Raiders to a child who got Maya murdered out of her own selfishness? Troy and Tyreen were poor villains and more of edgy Twitch streamers, but it's hard to compare any of the BL series villains after Handsome Jack, so it's not a fair comparison at this point. Can't even compare Commandant Steele, Vallory/Vasquez/Yvette, or Colonel Zarpedon, so I don't entirely hate Troy and Tyreen. I love Troy and Tyreen's design too, really captures the "f*ck you" attitude they have. But I really would have loved to see Troy betray Tyreen to make both their deaths more impactful, or perhaps even Troy taking the side of the Crimson Raiders - whether by force, or by choice. But Ava. Dear God. I despise her. Every time I hear her talk, I start blasting the loudest, most obnoxious, particle-heavy gun I have at her face so I don't have to listen to her or see her face.

[/quote] Yes big hatred for Ava. She has a worse attitude than the Calypsos but no cant be mean to the little sh—. She is massively disrespectful and a massive bloody brat, blaming Lilith for god knows what. Wanted my character to smack her. I bought her stupid DLC and it’s literally 5 minutes of nothing. 20 bucks down the drain. I find Tyreen way more annoying than Troy, not favouritism, just “[b]superfan[/b]”. Cringe. Troy is more of a background villain which is what convinced me that he was gonna ditch. He gets Maya’s powers, goes on his own for a bit, racks up with Aurelia which massive yuck, then runs back to Tyreen after Wainwright shoots him up a bit. Honestly thought there was gonna be more villainy content. Or even a DLC backstory of them or something cus theyre just sorta there and theres no context until you chat with Typhon. I thought there’d at least be a childhood bedroom or something but nope.

bruh other borderlands fans! I haven't played the third game yet but did the writing really go that downhill? (also I love your signature Zer0 was easily my fave character to play)

(also I love your signature Zer0 was easily my fave character to play) [/quote] I wouldn't say the writing overall for BL3 was bad. It was a fun and engaging story with lots of places to explore. I really love the Promethea and Eden-6 chapters because Rhys and Wainwright/Hammerlock are really strong and fun characters. It's just that it's super hard to compare after the incredible success of BL2, to the point where it isn't a fair comparison anymore. And Ava is a very annoying, poorly written character. I don't think anyone likes her.
