Granted, they fukked up the whole timeline, made Roland miniature, made Lilith old and gave everyone terrible wigs...

Nothing against Jamie Lee, but... they ain't have to do Tannis this dirty

eh. The story's plenty interesting. It just wasn't told in an interesting way... well. Ever. BL2 didn't even do it in an interesting way, there was just great character writing on the villain, which can carry anything tbh.

Corpo-wars on a planet for resources, just to find out the planet is housing a vault. Presumption is it is filled with riches or tech to win the wars between these anarchic mega-corps. Mad Max vibes throughout what's effectively a giant heist to try and break through these precursor race's defenses... just to find out it wasn't locking away something valuable, but locking away something eldritch. But, now the treasure hunters who fought to get to the vault, have to fight to keep what they just released from destroying the planet. And as soon as they do: surprise. There's a bunch more of these vaults scattered across the galaxy.

It's a great launching point for planet-bound science fiction.

They've just quite literally never been able to make the story and the setting interesting enough. Game was always carried by loot novelty and either great or so-bad-it's-good character writing. The movie's about to be horrible :mjlol:

Pretty much nailed it. The vault/treasure hunter theme even got put on the backburner when they tried to get into the Sirens, Eridians & Guardians plot line. It had potential in BL2 and TPS when the Corp wars were highlighted and the backstory of the galaxy seemed to be a real plot point.

But as stated, these were just fragments of a potentially great story being carried by some great character writing. when BL3 dropped it all went to shyt.

gotta give Edgar Ramirez and his agent a lot of credit, for such a non-descript nobody, that dude pops up in a ton of shyt. He's the latin Luke Evans.
