Until recently, I had only a passing interest in Borderlands 3. I knew I’d play it, but it wasn’t something I was excited for. But since the full character roster was announced, things are different. My interest in Borderlands 3 has notably peaked thanks to a couple of big reveals: the Iron Bear mech and FL4K’s collection of pets.
Borderlands has always had varied character classes, but I’ve found them difficult to invest in. Deployable turrets, holographic decoys, and summonable drones are all useful battle tools, but they’re simply functional. As such, I’ve generally found the Vault Hunters a bit, well… boring, which shouldn’t be the case when you consider Borderlands’ bombastic style. However, it looks like Borderlands 3 is solving this issue with Moze and FL4K by way of special abilities that are effectively dependable pals that you can build a ‘bond’ with and affection for, rather than soulless utilities on a belt.
