That still looks pretty close to the finished product, the
Reveal Trailer almost looks like a different game. It also looks like Commandant Steele was the original playable Siren instead of Lilith.
Yeah. Man, that reveal trailer takes me back. So hyped, regardless of what they sold me haha. Good thing it was amazing.
And you know, I think Steele would have made for a much more interesting character. I mean, if they had fleshed out the main characters as much as they (finally) fleshed them out in BL2. Her and Roland both had a history with Crimson Lance and that could've played really well into that story when the Lance had a presence.
It is disappointing that the main characters of BL2 have suffered the same fate as the main characters in BL1, in terms of having little influence on the story apart from propelling the action forward. The few audio logs that exist for them still feel incredibly flat and barebones, especially contrasted to the Echocasts released for Gaige. I find her a fantastic character and a lot of that stems from actually knowing about her motives, past, and exodus to Pandora. There is still time to rectify the "flat" characters this time around since none of the DLC has hit yet. Hopefully one of them is a decent story DLC that can give these characters more depth.
I'm also worried about skill tree balance, because right now there's a lot of thought going into which skills to take and a lot of choices to be made, but adding levels and skill points without adding a whole 'nother tree or a substantial amount of skill will result in a lot of players making very similar classes (what ended up happening in BL1 where you were able to get the end-skill for 2 trees).
A week of farming conference call to no avail. How are people getting so many?! Anyway, my Gaige is looking really strong right now - going an ordered chaos build with a touch of BFF, just to test of the digistruct claws. Anarchy is really, really strong but I think it's main weakness is how easily you lose stacks, making co-op play with an Ordered Chaos build essential. Losing 20 stacks in FFYL compared to losing all of your stacks by dying is a much easier pill to swallow and makes Anarchy really worthwhile. Also finding discord pretty useful for mini-bosses, where by I can activate it and use a one-shot shottie to stave off the anarchy decay and kill the boss, losing maybe 30-50 stacks depending on the fight. Can't seem to figure out where else to use it though, other than some quick hp regen.
