Helllo!

But anyway, the art for the game is looking spectacular. The first images we saw (from the Dam) looked really cluttered and noisy, but the new stuff that's been released looks great.

Particularly loving the look of this image:

Who is this red head, cyborg, female you ask?​


On the final day of PAXEast, Gearbox dropped a bombshell. They are going to add another class, The MechroMancer. (Post release. So no, "OMG IN DEV NAOW PUT IN GAME" shenanigans)

The Mechromancer is part Machine, part women:

"The Mechromancer is a female human/machine hybrid ... She will also have a friend: a giant robot called D374-TP (Deathtrap)

She will be a DLC Post-launch (thank god) and people who pre-order will get her for free.
VIDEO of the presentation


They also discussed a few other things, not as fantastic. But really cool.
  • They also discussed adding class costume items unlocked after completing missions.
  • -
    New gear, costume pieces, and even custom heads can be acquired by completing missions and challenges, as well as ranking up. In addition, players of the original Borderlands will immediately be rewarded with an exclusive head and skin.

    - not sure what they mean by "head."
  • There is also a collectors edition for 149.99, and comes with a Marcus bobble head. (saving pennies now)

All info from Gameinformer and Joystiq

EDIT: Rumors have it that there is 2 Collector editions. a $99.99 one which comes with the bobble head, and then the $149.99 CE will come with all that, and replica's of some of the guns for Borderlands 1. I'm looking for a source.

EDIT 2: Skins. SO MANY SKINS


I joy puked. I joy puked hard.
EDIT: I joy puked again.
EDIT2: I'm still joy puking.
EDIT3: I died of too much puking.

Pretty sure that "heads" means "heads"

I.E. Hats/hair/helmets etc as well as actual faces all rolled into one wearable item.

It's great that player customisation is increasing more than just colours since the addition of steamworks means multiplayer is actually a thing now.

I'm torn about the mechromancer being free for preorders.. I want to preorder but I also want to pay for DLC that's worth it.

Fortunately since this will be a heavily multiplayer experience the fact that it's post-release doesn't bother me. Everyone made a fuss about the day 1 dlc for ME3, but day 1 is the only time I'd want to buy extra characters. I don't want to buy them after I've finished the game, what's the point in that...

Looks like chaos in game-format. Probably due to that ridiculous lifting effect maya has that fills the screen with particles and effects.

I also don't like that goop overlay that covers at least 50% of the screen space. That's gunna be annoying if it happens much.

Ooooohhhhhhhh there's a choice in quest paths! That makes me happy, wonder how far they'll push it.

RE what moxxie says: I certainly will ;)

In non video related comments, didn't they say their creatures were also generated the same way their guns were? I never noticed any cool random features in their creatures.

All in all, pew pew:

I hope the humour consists of more than quote memes from other culturaly significant media. So far i've seen "whacky dialogue" from Duke Nukem, WarHammer40K and the Die Hard and Bad Boy's movies.

Besides that the game is lookin Sex'aaaay.

Character dialogue isn't something borderlands did well, they say something on virtually all (if not actually all) critical hits and most skill kills, my guy's pretty much a motormouth but only when in combat :/

*female mechanic.
Woman isn't an adjective, you also used the plural, women, which really should give it away that it's not an adjective but a noun.
