@FlamesForAll @ACNAero: Continued elsewhere in case of angry or annoyed kat ladies.

Nope, itā€™s just an oversight. A little arrangement like moving the shield a bit would have fixed everything (there are other little plot holes in BL2), while you canā€™t just fix all the mistakes and inconsistencies in blts, there is no simple ā€œletā€™s move a bit the generatorā€ issue, they are deeper and more stupid. Felicity is just a little example. I would need to replay it all to point every single detail of that mess of a story, Iā€™m obviosly not gonna do it as I absolutely abhor the game, but as I already said, all my game time was spent by thinking ā€œthis makes no senseā€ over and over.

I think the plot hole thread really shows the main reason why BL2 works and TPS doesnā€™t work as well. In BL2, the story was basically a way for GBX to introduce their environments and gameplay. You basically play the story mode to unlock maps to wander around in. Its like they had the worlds and its inhabitants already envisioned and developed a story that walks you through them. Also, the world is actually independent of the main story. You can pretty much do all 3 playthroughs without seeing much of the world or doing many side quests. I didnā€™t even know Lynchburg existed until I had done the main story about 9 times,. Most of the other maps have large areas you dont touch in the main story. There is an open world exploration feel to it.

OTOH, TPS feels very linear. It feels like a rail shooter where the developers had to create maps around the story. By the end of TVHM, you have seen and done everything there is to do in the game.

ā€œlittle plotholesā€

You mean like how the 6 vault hunters stare at Jack when he kills Roland and talks while Krieg wouldā€™ve charged him and introduced him to his buzzaxe?

Krieg, the guy who charges Goliath Blasters with 2 Norfleets, not charging Jack?

Little plothole. Yeah, sure.

#192

Or Zer0, who could go invisible and cut Jackā€™s head off from behind. Or Deathtrap, who would charge him. Or Axtonā€™s turret(s), who would shoot at him.

#193

Same exact hole as VHs not attacking Lilith. And tps had a lot more to pile up.

#194

Donā€™t gett me started how Sanctuary could be easily bombarded aswell as soon as they migrate it to the Highlands, without having the system anymore to form a shield.

#195

And how Lilithā€™s ā€œI can phase it at any timeā€ bluff actually worked is amazingā€¦

#196

Burchā€™s writing and cheese have one thing in common: both are full of holes.
And the thing is, cheese atleast has a reason to have them.

Maybe you could/should explain all the major holes in depth. Not the small ones, just the big ones.

#198

Considering that I donā€™t like writing long essays, Iā€™ll just give a condensed version a-la moi.

-Power generator outside the shield that protects Sanctuary: easy moonshot target that would destroy their only defences, possibly forcing them to give in. Couldā€™ve easily happend even before Lilith was back in town.

-Relocation of Sanctuary: Generator left behind, no powersource for the shield so they are open for attack. What a coincidence that the bombardements stop.

-Rolandā€™s death: Unless Jackā€™s pistol has the power of a Norfleet it wouldā€™ve been impossible to kill him, but maybe it is also an incompetence that shouldnā€™t happen because Roland is ex-military. On that note:

-Roland not wearing a shield: Non, zit, nada, while it is obvious that he shoudā€™ve worn one during this mission. Which brings me back to Roland being a ex-military person.

Those are the mayor ones I remember.

Also. spoilers tags donā€™t work for some reason.

Oh, and this:

#199

And the Death Wall only being about 15 feet wide and maybe 20-30 feet tall. Could have easily flown around that, and Blood wouldnā€™t of had to die for the sake of deactivating the force field.

You have to do one per paragraph. Not like it matters on a 2.5 year old game.

Oh, and, about Krieg, look at what I found in the In the Box articlesā€¦

Actually from the wiki, but posted in the ItB articles.

And youā€™re telling me he wouldnā€™t charge Jack? Thatā€™s the Warrior ffs.
