PLEASE change the vault hunter designs before launch. There’s a unanimous agreement that they are just completely forgettable, looking more like background npcs than vault hunters. The clothes and general designs of their faces are just so uninspired and you can’t really tell much about the character from their designs other than “siren” and “tank” the other two being completely unmemorable.

Yea, it would be nice to play as a unique character rather than some npc who gives you a quest to go and fetch 'em something That's what makes the first 2 and presequel vault hunters good I would rather play as claptrap again for Pandoras sake than these new, except the big guy, he looks cool.

[@karolkwiecjasz9356]

Can I has to rebuild Hyperion? Timothy needs a hug. Honestly, one of them had to be a siren which should stay human to look descently good. The brute character should be a psycho or some other pandoran archetype. I would want a nomad, personally but something like a Midget would be mega. The Soldier imo should be a robot, preferably a Hyperion Loader because the Turret ability being part of you is the next step we seen a bit with Wilhelm. The rogue slot is left for an alien then (much like we had Zero). Rogue Erydian Sentinel or maybe an uplifted animal. Imagine plaing an evolved Stalker with that passive invisibility. But nope. Get 4 humans with whats propably 3 generic mix-n-match skills to bore you to death.

[@DarkhalfBreed]

Yeah its missing something; like the textures feel off for borderlands; the potential vault hunters had no flare, no presence, usually they are front and center and everyone would know their names; the teaser some months back at least kinda had you going "oh neat the eridians maybe?" This felt like they were going to do a borderlands version of "Gotham city imposters" with psychos and corpos until the shoe horned in characters that look like they might be vault hunters.

Borderlands 2 had some of the best characters because they were unique in both design and playstyle compared to BL1. BL3 failed for many reasons including not doing the previously said things. Let's see how they do with this one.

They're gonna pull a concord out of this if those characters look like that. I'm sure of it.

[@LeoZeKiwi]

Why do the new vault hunters look like some low effort Concord characters? With a guaranteed budget of at least 140 million, this is absolutely shameful.

[@Kenoji8]

I'm thinking the "Break Free" idea that is presented here means exactly what others have said: the Vault Hunters this time around are custom-made and you might be able to choose your abilities instead of just working with a Vault Hunter with preset abilities. The last action scene kind of shows this with a Wolf & Saint like ability (ala Wilhelm in the Pre-Sequel) and some other things going on. At least that is what I'm thinking. I don't know what else "Break Free" could mean in terms of the gameplay.

[@christianglaze3868]

Hope you are right. That doesn't sound too bad.

[@NecromanticThrone]

Probably some plot related bs Break free from the tyrannical cyber-psychos!

[@Fuzunga]

Nothing? Why would you think it's gameplay related?

[@paddycakes6244]

Prolly right? I mean Tiny Tinas had full custom characters I bet they used that to test for BL4.

[@SoulgnasherFriendlyDragon-w9z]

Pandora is a prison for the destroyer, designed by the guardians/sirens, which was opened in the last game. We see what looks to be guardians in the trailer fighting against augmented psychos. It was also alluded to in the last game that the guardians might be breaking off from their programing and going independent. So my guess is that it’s related to the guardians, pandora or both.

[@Runelow_]

so we play as bank seekers now

[@jacobn6757]

More like Bin Rummagers, they don't deserve a nice title.. they deserve a generic and awful title to complement their appearances

[@zacar0ni]

I hope to God they aren't going with customizable characters because that means your character will just be a bland spectator through the story with no personality and no unique dialog so they can appeal to everyone. This isn't like Fallout where you're character has dialog options for roleplaying. Also, your Vault Hunter will never be in a future game, so don't get too invested.

[@Isnogood12]

Yeah because in Wonderlands custom chars worked so well... oh wait, it was awful.

That would be an improvement over the awful characters in 3.
