[@SPL1NGYDUDE]

As someone who played borderlands 2 just as I left the psychatric ward, Krieg is a major reason I still am here today. I've had disorders my whole life, and through a bad withdrawal from medication I got off of, from abusive roommates, pushing compensation techniques, I forgot who I was for a time. They call it ego death. How fitting it is, then, to have my hero and role model cross the waters of ego death, to forget his past, bring him to the same place I stand today thanks to him. I will never again experience psychosis as strong as I once did, but it's still a part of me. That, and my other disorders, have become my strength with age. I think Krieg taught me that.

[@KiwiSpartan01]

Hope you're doing better

[@JJumper8888]

I have a similar connection to Krieg. I always was a nice and super happy and emotional guy with a big heart and a strong sense of right and wrong. But having a lot of bad luck in life made me a person filled with hatred and being fed-up with everything to the point where I fell into depression. Having beaten my depression always reminds me of Krieg and how hard it is to co-exist with his darkside especially when it was in control of my soul and body for 8 years. I could really feel the end since I'm falling more and more into balance with myself the last...5-6 months. Also the feeling how devastated he was after Mayas death made me remember how I felt when my ex broke up with me who was my Maya helping me to control my inner endless rage. But we worked things out and we are close friends now made me whole again. Keep your chin up big guy! And always keep fighting the good fight. You are not alone in this❤️

I really like the small detail that the longer Kreig knows Maya, his psychotic ramblings start getting closer and closer to what he's actually trying to say. Like once he has a real purpose, he starts putting the pieces together. What he says is still obviously the ramblings of a psycho, but the more he interacts with her, the more his true meaning can be interpreted from what he says

Imagine this. You defeat Troy in game, but it cuts to a cinematic. Troy starts rambling on and on and starts to mention Maya and how pathetic she died. Before he is able to finish the sentence, a buzzaxe comes flying through the air, impaling his face. Krieg stands on the cliff, *krieg voice* "The Poop train conductor sends his regardz!!" He walks away, into the sunset. The camera at his back, you hear him whisper, in a sane voice. "I loved her."

What they really need to do is have BL4 have 4 new hunters, as well as all the surviving hunters from the previous games as playable. Update everyone’s abilities to make sense canonically.

Psycho Krieg's way of speaking is amazing poetry in my eyes. Hearing the response and seeing how its possible the words line up; even when they're odd, is just beautiful. For example, when Tina was getting lessons and she said it wrong. The first thing he said was: "Subjugate the mind tickle" Its like his words are metaphors on top of metaphors. "No, try again," becomes, "control your thinking," becomes "Subjugate the mind tickle"

[@elijahmontgomery4146]

It infuriates me to no end that they killed Mia. They easily could have carried on the story without her demise. Worst of all it deprives Krieg of the somewhat happy ending his character deserved so much. Imagine this. The story play's out with Mia simply losing her powers like Lilith, instead of getting hers back, they go to that annoying little brat who's name escapes me. Then at the end of the Psycho DLC, Krieg finally meets Mia again, and they settle down on the ship. Krieg deserves that happiness. His character is made somewhat whole by making peace with his other half, but the love of his life, the only person who could understand him through the rambling is gone. He still has her memory, but that's not the same, unlike what the dumbass game dev's would have you believe. He's fixed himself partially, but now there's a piece missing that can never be put back. Kinda pokes a hole in the supposedly happy ending of the DLC huh?

I now realize that even in bl2, Kreig foreshadowed the fact his psycho side was holding back the rage. In regular state when you got below a certain amount of health. A new stage of anger called "Release the beast" showed another mutant taking over, one even stronger. Once it was over, I believe psycho side pulled the reaver side back into his cell. I like to believe the sane side was the one that'd hold a gun, psycho was the one we pull out the buzzsaw, and the reaver was the beast referred to in thw skill tree.

Y'know I bet it was Flesh Stick who sent him on that Hyperion mission.

I’m not gonna lie, the Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck made me cry, no joke, and not just once, but several times, Krieg was the 1 person in the entirety of Borderlands who I wanted to know so much more about, his story is so interesting and yet, they never touch on it until this DLC, it made me happy to see my favorite character getting the light he deserves, and having a super fuckin fun DLC to go with it (which in my opinion was the best one out of the 4)

[@pinkumbrellaneo2283]

With everything that goes on with Krieg it just makes me want to cry inside

[@KriegThePsychoActual]

A GUTTED FISH!!

[@censored297]

Krieg was the best playable vault hunter, just cruisin around on fire throwing axes an choppin fools up, tanking insane amounts of damage never had more fun playing borderlands

[@ricardoyambao3342]

I've never been this early. And I don't regret it at all.

[@dafilth2439]

I’m now gonna yell “POOP COMPLETION” when I poop

[@ashrogers8142]

Same here. I have been ever since borderlands 3 "DROPPED" but in all seriousness I do yell that. It's a tic I've developed after playing it

[@frank8917]

I’ll scream HERE COMES THE POOP TRAIN

[@BeatsByMyDad69]

I absolutely love his raving retribution rants. The sadistic psychotic poetry that barely makes sense yet it says everything it needs to paint a picture of how the meat man sees the world around him. Krieg is the only psycho with an ounce of humanity left

[@michealtheevilhero2340]

But everything changed when the siren nation attacked,Wait what-

[@DesterKonvert]

But all that changed when the hunter came to town.

[@Brandon11746]

lmao

[@ohteddyboyo]

Krieg is my 1st and most played Vault Hunter in Borderlands 2 ♥ Thx for this video! Really brought back a lot of fun memories I had playing BL2 :)

[@nakuneko6462]

For some reason, Borderlands lore is actually as good as hollywood movie story.

[@michealtheevilhero2340]

I feel like they could make a TV series on the vault hunters as a whole

[@THawkMedia]

*better Hollywood is imensly woke

[@Reeses7501]

The main story of 3 was terrible. Everything else I agree.

[@asianman5242]

Yeah it reminds me of dark souls but it annoys me how important story elements were in echo logs that are missable like nyriad powers transferred to Tyreen, and Tyreen Troys characters development that led them to being annoying.

[@nakuneko6462]

@@asianman5242 they have baby making in the vault

[@alexy.9306]

“Torn apart…. By pretty lady.” Shit hit me hard, the fact that he was able to say that line can only make me imagine what his sane self was feeling. Tragic story man.

[@UnlimitedRageSpells]

I damn near cried because of Maya’s final message to him.

[@presidentraiden9203]

If you break the moral code, Mr. Clean will erase you. I got a Mr. Clean ad as soon as you talked about the moral code.

[@tametalks6102]

I love the background music being a reprisal of the erased anime theme its a fitting touch to a crushingly depressing character

[@jiopa]

I gotta say, I never got the hype behind Maya as a character. She seemed so bland to me in BL2 with her voice lines. And that game didnt really do a good job at fleshing out the playable characters. That being said, man did they make up for it in this dlc. Maya came off as wise, understanding, and kind with an unbreakable bond with krieg. Just great writing for her character and amazing voice acting.

[@DropTheDove]

Man everyone getting along with Krieg is so wholesome

[@theonecalleddoc]

These videos of your’s are very well written and presented. (I’m no wordsmith)

[@karljohan2300]

they shouldve made the ending of borderlands 3 that he comes in raging hearing the cringe twins killed his love. also sorry as a slicewound is the best sayings ever

[@TheMaskOfZack]

Why am I able to understand what Psycho Krieg is saying!? “I AM THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAIN!” = “HELP ME OFF THIS SHIT RIDE!” The “SHIT RIDE” is referring to life and survival.

[@kyletrevarthen4219]

This one hit me hard since I played as him and Maya during BL2. I definitely enjoyed and loved that this DLC fleshed him out since he was an extremely interesting dude in the second game IMO.

[@elizabethduliepre8682]

Can you please do a history of the doctors Zed, Ned and if you want Ted

[@TheWhiteWidow97]

Very good video!:) Krieg is my favourite video game character of all time mainly due to my interest in mental health and psychology. Cant wait to see what krieg does next in BL4.

[@AlexLorentzenloganjamesalex]

that shot at the beginning I hadn't thought to use photo mode there. really interesting that they used the same little girl model as the ghost in DLC 2. Wonder if that was just for sake of time?

[@unfunny21]

ever since his release he's been my favourite character and his back story just adds to how great he is

[@TheSquanchyest]

20:20, I'm using this for my dnd character

[@allenkeith7160]

"The Terror of Deep Waters Calmed." Ooh I liked that one a lot! Also mentioned by Kreig, "Sometimes there's a kind of 'Poetry' to your nonsense, isn't there?" and I was thinking that a few times when the Psycho side did seem to string some wild psycho words together to make a surprisingly hostile, yet peaceful message that some could understand... sort of? Love his lines.

[@lapine.mp4lapine.mp350]

we need a "The History of Mal" y'know, one of the extremely few *peaceful* and *friendly* hyperion loaders in the series? *h i m .*

[@glnnstvn2017]

All he wants is to be human 😂

21:25 that’s one way to say “I’m going to poop”

[@usdepartmentoftreasuryinte6052]

I felt more emotion playing through Krieg's DLC than I did when Maya died, it's like two completely different writing teams made each story

[@tackyoptic]

YESS! IT'S HERE!! Hopefully in the future, we actually learn about Krieg's past... like, maybe something or someone from his mercenary days catch up to him, or he stumbles across something that triggers a memory resurgence. There's clearly some fragments left of his past (primarily the nursery rhyme, since he deems that important. Maybe it could be a launching off point for a dive into his past?) and it would be a shame to ignore those aspects despite them being a big part of his dialogue and character before DLC4 dropped.

[@gigaswardblade7261]

being "just special" is ava's thing

[@gigaswardblade7261]

@Ice King shhh

[@andresi2002]

When i fight learned about Kreig, I thought phsycho was a product of the gas. But it was exstremely touching to see that he wasn't. The Pyschoreaver was. Psycho just wanted to protect his sanity.

[@HernandezAlaska]

Listening to Krieg try to express his thoughts is like a drug to me.
