Actually it was playing Nisha that convinced me to continue to not play Sal.
I put them in the same camp and by the time I got used to TPS, I realized how much I hated Nisha and went onto a real character ( Athena ).
It was this forum that got me fired up about Sal - so I hope we can fire you up too!

Gaige for me was how Sal was for you. I hated her, couldnāt understand why anyone liked her, but being on these forums reading people post about the amazing x, y and z they did with that character, you canāt help but get curious to try it again.
As you know I only started a Gaige fairly recently, and even though iām still not convinced, I certainly wouldnāt say sheās bad anymore.

Iāve finally picked up TPS (and avoided Nisha) just recently, so i might give him a shot once i get back to BL2. There are still so many things i want to do in both games and keep discovering new ideas here.

FWIW, I started a Sal just to see what he was about and not expecting to go too far with him; heās now my highest VH @ OP 7 and now I want to tweak his build strictly for raiding. Heās not the favorite of my VHās and I do find his playstyle to be kinda boring overall (apologies to hard-core Sal fans) but he does have his moments.
And it is entirely possible to play Sal without either a Grog or DPUHā¦mine uses an off-hand Rubi and a selection of Hyperion shotguns and still shreds whatever I point him at with relative ease.

At this very second Iām playing Sal with an Unforgiven & Law and a Hammer Buster & Gatling Gun and Iām flying around Magnysā Lighthouse popping crits into Scarlettās mercenariesā heads.
And having a blast!

I have the gear for Deputy Sal, I just havenāt tried it yet.
EDIT - saying heās boring may be a bit too harsh; there are times when heās an absolute blast, like when he fought the Warrior in TVHM, got a big money-shot chain with a Conference Call early in the fight and wiped out about 80% of the Warriorās health bar in less than a second. I swear, the whole fight took no more that 12 secondsā¦EASILY my fastest ever Warrior kill.

- There are no map challenges left at that point. Why would you not have already done them two quests earlier for the cookie training quest?
- The way I do the Torgue DLC, there are no red chests either. I start the session with Eat Cookies and Crap Thunder, and end with fetching the key to the Forge. So the red chests are already open.
Trash mob xp is negligible compared to quest xp, so I really donāt care about missing out on killing all those Torgue-skinned loaders a second time.
I thought that until I saw Nisha, and to a lesser extent Wilhelm. If TPS had more DLCs to break up the monotony I probably would play Wilhelm at some point.

For me itās Gaige. I finally made my first Gaige some time ago (last winter or autumn or something) and played her all the way to level 6 before I quit. Itās hard to play a character that I care nothing about. Nisha is also on my list but one of these years Iāll finally try and see how well her melee skills hold up and what kind of a mess that build ends up being.
So for the topic Iāve never completed the game once as Gaige.

Lightbulb moment! I can actually do something interesting with Nisha?
I think a visit to the TPS forum is in order.

She was my first toon ā¦ I couldnāt resist to the idea of whipping my co-op partner I used to play at this time. 
For me it was Claptrapās Pirate Ship Mode that was the irresistable āI must do that ASAP!ā draw to a TPS character. 
Thereās really nothing about Nisha that appeals to me though. The action skill, the Wild West flavor, the character herself ā¦ just not interested.

- Iāve done all the raid bosses but never soloed Vermi or Vora. As I donāt particularly like soloing raid bosses theyāre not high on my priority list. Iāve used OP8 gear to get some OP3 Interfacers from Vora.
- Never soloed final rounds of any OP Slaughter circle with Zer0 or Gaige.
- My highest Salvador is 50.
- Thereās a few of the Tubby Pearls Iāve never seen. I think I got a Carnage but canāt remember what Iāve done with it.
- Never spawed OOO solo.
- Butt Stallion hasnāt excreted a legendary, nor have the Sanctuary vendors (got one from Tinaās though).
- Iād like to finish the Peak with my no red text OP8 Siren (I did manage a Rough Rider Peak run with Maya).
On the subject of rare things, I have seen Wilhelm call down a Constructor. I suspect this is more likely in coop. And I say āseenā with some hestitation because I was extraordinarily drunk when it happened and actually had to check with @FunkJunkie to find out whether or not Iād dreamed it (yesā¦ I do dream about Pandora sometimes).

Butt Stallion trolled me with a Legendary. The only one iāve got from her, was a KerBlaster. You know, that ultra hard to obtain Assault Rifle?

Iāve never completed the Sorcerer Slaughter.
Iāve only soloād Terra once in UVHM, and havenāt fought Vora, Dexi, or Gee at all
Iāve not finished even NVHM with Sal, Axton, or (for not much longer) Kreig
I only saw Michael Mamaril for the first time a couple of weeks ago

Iām sure his appearance rates are lower now than at the start. On Xbox 360 iād see him pretty much 3-4 times a week, now I might see him once a month (Xbox One, Handsome Collection). Might just be RNG, or that I used to hunt for him and now I donāt bother, or both.

heās likely been in Sabctuary dozens of times I missed, just happened to catch him near Marcus while doing a vendor sweep with the Kreig Iām working on now.
I took this as a sign that I should be playing Kreig
