If you could play any VH in BL3?

Borderlands 3 Borderlands 3 General Discussion

Analyzing the popularity of the melee characters, it’s weird
borderlands 3 have only one “legitimate” option for that style of play.

#22

I’ll add a fourth call for Athena. Man she’s fun to play. Wouldn’t say no to Claptrap either.

I don’t even consider BL3 as having a melee character personally.

I understand they have been viable for it but they don’t have the melee “feel” I guess.

Krieg had the most incredible melee feel for me and I loved his ability to go into Psycho mode and just FEEL the power.

Athena felt good with her shield and how her skills worked, and even Zer0 was ok but for me not the best.

Amara has absolutely NO melee feel, meaning even when you are destroying mobs with her, it just feels cheap and wrong. I am probably over analyzing, but using her melee attacks feels like a gimmick and nothing like it should feel.

Maya, with the hope that they’d retcon that crap. Just put her inside the great vault with Lilith and we can unlock both to play in the last expansion / DLC 5. By then we’d be on Mayhem 2.5, have 3 of our 5 skill trees capped, and be sporting weapons that have numbers in scientific notation.

Or Claptrap. With the ability to vault/mantle/climb, maybe I could finally defeat The Stairs!

No more Claptraps!!!

He is off the board!!! OMG I hated suddenly non stop firing my weapon because of one of his little random effects!!!

Or he might be allowed if he only uses his pirate ship!

I don’t see many (any?) votes for BL1 characters… they are still fun to play, but dang if their skill trees seem pale in comparison to all the shenanigans available in newer ones.

#28

the most fun part is to imagine how old VHs would be implemented in BL3 with 3 action skills and all the augments :3

#29

I’d go for Claptrap first. But I’d want Krieg,Gaige, Athena, and Nisha as well.

I’d probably still pick Amara because she is a lot of fun and ONE SEXY BITCH!

But if that’s not an option then Claptrap.

#31

Krieg, Athena and Aurelia.

I miss how cool the skill trees of the TPS VHs are.

Gaige is my main main across the series so def her. And Claptrap to annoy everyone else

#34

Lilith was my first character in BL-1, and having played a lot of FPS in a relative shoot em all mode, I really enjoyed the combination of building phasewalk and “get up close and personal” melee. It was an eyeopener for my own game play. So…Lilith, the BL1 version.

#35

Lillith was my first character in BL1
Zero in BL2 but I switched to Gaige as my main when she was added
Claptrap in TPS
Moze in BL3

As fun as VH’s were in the previous games they’d need some overhauls to be playable in BL3 without feeling lacking in 1 way or another because they were designed on an older game engine that had more limitations.

#36

Gaige. She’s all I really played in BL2. Anarchy builds are so fun

I’m thinking about playing some bl2 while waiting for the next update xD
Missing my robo girl <3

Moze replaced Axton and Wilhelm as my favorite VH ever. If I cant keep playing as her I’d love to play with Wilhelm again. I stopped leveling him up around level 65 or so because I was melting everything in UVHM with exception of the final boss in Claptastic DLC whom I never beat.

TPS was awesome but the lack of end game content meant there was no reason to grind

Zer0… Definitely. Then Athena and Lilith. But Zer0 first.
