This is perfect. Thank You!
I will try this out tonight
You’re welcome 
FYI, this worked very well for me. I actually got ton of sniper kills in a row, which was impossible before. I still think there is a hit box issue, but this made everything better for sure.

When I first went through the game I had a fan boy mentality going on. I was so involved into the new gun mechanics and the vaulting and sliding whenever and wherever I could andjust basic exploring that I did not pay to close attention to the story.
Game play fantastic love the new torogue weapons hate maliwan.
I severally dislike the story and how much they ignore from past game.
It felt vary female lead which is not a problem. Lilith and tannis make sense to be in the front of the line. The problem is not the number of females it’s the lack of male charecters and past characters in general have been there since the start or came in. Where are the past vault hunters and Dr. Zed.
The whole thing with the vault of the destroyer and the great vault make little sense to me.
Siren being able to pass on powers Kind takes the specialty away for me.
I don’t mind the twins, just think troy was the better and could have been a good twist if he killed his sister and took her powers as well.
I like and dislike typhon. How old is this guy. Vault hunters seem to be a thing older then just a few decades. He also apparently killed alot of those giant skage bones of which seem to be well over a few decades old.
Ava felt like a shoehorned charecter. Little charecter development. Also Lilith taking leadership advice and give the leadership to a kid irritated me. She has potential but what they did with her so far is irritating to say the least.
The vault keys being charged so easily is a bit annoying. As well as pandora vault key showed 6 vaults on six planets in 2. Yet in 3 it only shows the other vaults in the story. Lilith mentions 100s of vaults in 2 but only seem to be the 4 and great vault in this game beside pandoras extra vaults. Seem they ignored that they made so many more vaults.
What happened to them being sent out to find all those vaults. Seem like they just up and left.
There’s more I have problems with, but I’ll go into where I think the past vault hunters could have fit into the story.
I heard axton and gaige were sent out to find Arallia. Well they could have been on the planet with jakobs planet still hunting her down.
Maya and zero are fine where they were.
Krige could have been with Maya and had more control over himself.
Salvador could have been with brick and them. I feel they would get along well. A argument between which is better guns or fist would be funny to me.
Timothy could have been with Rhys and zero. Could have been doing his acting on that planet before the war hit and he joined Rhys side.
Athena could have just been on the ship.
Could have been a mission to get claptrap his fighting programming back (not really necessary but be fun anyway)
And the last fight could have all the vault hunters coming together to fight troy as the destroyer. They all could be out of the area you are in, fighting other monsters or children of the vault in the background while you take care of the biggest threat.
It would have been this grand battle with everyone from the past and some new faces fighting the biggest threat yet. Instead of what seemed to me to be them helping you out once and going back to doing nothing.
This did not seem like the war that the eridian talked about that we would need more vault hunters. Why would everyone leave if they knew this was coming. Hell axton and gaige were sent to find Arallia for that reason.
It took more vault hunters to take down jack then it did this star eater threat giant war that needs more vault hunters then what they had.
Jack fought
Lilith, brick, Roland, mordecai, Salvador, Maya, axton, zero, kreig, and gaige. All there for the last fight and prominent throughout the Story.
Twins fought.
Moze, flak, Zane, Amara, Lilith. With appearances from Maya, brick, mordecai, and zero.
I love the game play, graphics ect… it’s a massive improvement over the last games. But once I took off my fanboy glasses the story of the game fits in vary poorly with the rest.
Although I would actually like to see a presequel 2. My idea would have it be a game with 4 charecters.
Typhon, leda (I think that’s her name, typhons wife), troy, and tyreen.
It would be set up differently then normal bordelands game. First half would be typhon and his wife and you choose who you want to be. And you go through his life of becoming the first vault hunter up to when they kill the vault monster on necronofyo. The second half could be about tyreen and troy leaving necronofyo and killing off key huge bandit figures to begin the children of the vault. The big bad boss for them could be a bandit Siren. Say commander steles powers were given to a random bandit. So we finally get to see what her Siren powers were.

To be fair, I think characters like Dr. Zed and some of the previous Vault Hunters might be being saved for the upcoming DLCs, since at least 4 of them are planned.
That still makes me feel disappointed. I really don’t think they wouldn’t have shown if the galaxy is at stake. They can fix it by making them all caught up in so,easily huge battle that threaten the progress the main force was making on the war with the twins.

That’s a good point. I personally really enjoyed what we got for story, but I definitely agree it had more than a few problems.
bad concept vault hunters compared to original bl1 skill tree / evolved bl2 skill tree / and ugly skills i dont know where to spend my points but i need to spend them to get better skills, if they dont add new vault hunters gonna be really boring to replay / why they didnt skip all this trash claptrap wait for talk quests and intros why?

I actually really enjoyed the story for what it was don’t get me wrong. It just don’t fit in well with what we have been told from the other 4 games. Now I do think it’s a great concept just done poorly.

I never understand when people complain about this games story and lack of things from other titles. I kind of went into this in another thread, so I won’t drone on, but the BL series has ALWAYS been smaller (more focused) stories in a larger universe. Much of the lore building and stories about ancillary characters and etc. are told through means OTHER than the main story. Echo Logs, Eridian Writings, Side Missions, things found in various maps and etc.
There are definitely more Vaults, but the reason they aren’t all in this game, is because there is more story to tell. This is completely obvious if you finish the main story, collect all the logs and Eridian writings and then do the trials.
I guarantee you the DLCs will expand on everything and bring characters back. This game was designed with continued online support in mind. I foresee many expansions, large and small, before they are done with it. By the time they release everything, I sense the overall story will be great. Right now, we just have a small piece.

Borderlands 2 expanded borderlands story. Pre sequel made it grow even more. Even TFTBL added stuff. Things game ignores so much.
Here is three big ones.
Destroyer being dead and harvested in TPS but it’s alive in 3.
Not explaining the end of TFTBL.
Everyone quite being crimson Raiders even tho a war was coming and they would need all the vault hunters they can get.

Yeah, the writers for BL3 need fired because they basically took everything from BL1 and 2 and threw it out the window.
Not saying BL2 didn’t mess with some things from BL1, but damn if BL3 didn’t just throw it all in the fire and make new rules for everything.

Borderlands had little story to it which is why 2s story fits so well because it could have gone anywhere.
3 even ignores things from TPS and TFTBL
Which is really odd because they had a nice story arc going that they could of easily milked through BL3 and all of it’s DLC.
Now people are arguing over how Troy didn’t ruin the fact that only women could be Siren’s because he was a conjoined twin or whatever, but the simple fact is, he was a male siren period.
Also, I am confused about Tannis. Is BL3 saying she was always a Siren? Or just became a Siren? Because if she was always a Siren I have a very hard time believing Jack wouldn’t have know when he beat her half to death and pried the vault key from her broken fingers.
I am just confused on what their plans were.

Man I hate the story. Its just… awful. You hit the nail on the head.
Also Eva is by far the worst character of 2019. Gearbox should be ashamed,
But the gameplay is fun and I love the loot system (even if 90% of the drops are useless) and I really like playing as FL4K with my pup of doom.

The tannis thing if you want I’m talking to someone else in a topic called. A cool tidbit of backstory for Jack and Angel that I found in Borderlands 3
Troy is a pseudo Siren to me. Unlike his sister who can take from anyone or thing, he can only take from sirens.
So to me not a full fledged Siren but more or less a anti Siren or pseudo siren aa before he gets Mayas powers he had none but siphoning which worked only on sirens.

You realise some of us still play bl2 on and off right? And a lot went back for the latest dlc, Got nothing to do with nostalgia.
The gunplay is better in 3 sure, but outside of that?
As for bugs I played on release and maybe I got lucky with bl2 and unlucky this go around but BL3 has been nothing but trouble, entire vault + head (just my luck it was the nog head too and it looks like they’ve broke it with the micro patch, re-ran the quest on and off line to get it back with no joy) and a couple of skins gone,luckily no sdus etc like other people, ramps on a certain quest worked one playthrough but not another, constant crashes if played online, enemies getting stuck in spawn zones, anointed warping into points they can’t materialize etc.
My son has missing spec points and we both had the guardian rank bug, when the fix hit it lowered my rank by 265 but didn’t remove my bonuses/stats so we will see if that becomes an issue later, I’m guessing it will considering the people over capped currently can’t play due to freezing/crashing.
A lot of these aren’t major issues, but trying to say BL3 is any better than bl2 was on release is a bit silly.

BL3 is only 8-10 hours I started my Amara at 2pm didn’t exactly speed run and was done with story and into the next playthrough before the early hours
If you could skip the cutscenes it would be faster
