Borderlands Pre Sequel. Why the Baroness is fun to play.

[@flamen529]

to this day, Im still amazed Moxxi is a Hodunk

[@wintersmith]

Well she could have married into the clan.

[@NexhiAlibias]

winter smith i wish that was likely...

[@edenlunareclipse8446]

nope. shes natural born hodunk. she left when she had Ellie and Scooter and had them separated for "safety" and yeah. this is all covered in BL2.

Well even though the Baroness likes killing things she at least she seems a bit more less crazy then the other 4 other then Jacks double.

[@wintersmith]

I did not like her at all until she met Moxxi. Then I had to stop for a few minutes because I was laughing too hard.

[@wintersmith]

I really like the Baroness now, but my initial reaction was not good.

[@danielgaviriarodriguez2107]

Idk athena and claptrap arent that crazy compared to wilhem and nisha

[@amazo88]

aurelia athena, n claptrap actually r the only ones that dislike jack's evil shit.

Addressing the dude on all fours when you meet Nina: She was about to give him a prostate exam (or cavity search, it's borderlands. Could be anything)

[@wintersmith]

I know. That's what is so funny esp. as he is in the background of the intro scene.

[@Adam-cj2jg]

Nah she was ready to fist him

[@TheHollowSpectre]

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BOSOMS!!! Kills me every time

[@wintersmith]

There is some great dialogue in this game. Hopefully BL3 will continue in this vein.

[@gaugepinkston6350]

Lol moxxie got roasted I think

[@MachiriReviews]

The Baroness is really powerful. I enjoyed playing her in the endgame stuff. Lots of fun

[@wintersmith]

Awesome! I loved playing as her as well. :)

[@paolomonroy362]

I main her too as well

[@BadAssSykO]

I really dislike how when playing as Aurelia it's as if she isn't even there with the other character's dialogue.

[@wintersmith]

She was the last character to be released so that isnt a surprise really. she does have some good stuff but not as much as the four main characters.

[@LuckyTheReviewer]

@@wintersmith Also doesn't help that Aurelia came out and then we had that drought of DLC up till Claptastic Voyage 2 months later and then the 3rd bit of DLC, as well as any future DLC, got canned.

[@wintersmith]

Stopping all DLC was not a great move :(

It does actually ;)

[@Gguyrules]

"Chestecular one" Well, never heard of that compliment before, but i like the sound of it, sounds rather fancy.

[@wintersmith]

I really fell for Aurelia after that one :)

[@corruptcaliburn]

it wasnt an inuendo it was talking about how he had his arm ripped off by a thresher

[@wintersmith]

ok.

[@thechrysis5359]

He still has his arm. you give him threshers from elipis.

[@Fireteen97]

Steampunk Neko at that point he most definitely had his arm He lost it from a thresher, and at that point in the story threshers weren't even on Pandora, so I think it was definitely a nod towards his homosexuality.

[@corruptcaliburn]

Fireteen97 how knows could be both

[@constantdemonics]

Fireteen97 he's bisexual most characters are

[@jja4168]

I actually like Aurelia as a character and is one of my favorite borderlands characters. Sometimes she even says nicer things to characters or has remorse for something's unlike nisha and wilhelm and even though she's rich, selfish, and dispises hammerlock though never wanting to kill him because she would've did by now, I like the dynamic that even with these traits she didn't want to work for a power hungry guy like Jack in the end of the game and wanted him to kill himself. Also I know that people say that she's bad because she's likes killing people even though most of the vault hunters like killing people and if not there job is to kill people for money and kill people who probably have families and work for people who are probably evil or will turn evil like handsome jack. Besides there's no true hero in borderlands anyway. I also love her gameplay sense cyro is my favorite element in borderlands and how it freezes enemies around and I even like hidden things in the gameplay like when you start with her unlike other characters she starts with a purple sniper rifle and $37000, emphasizing that she's rich. A shame they did her so poorly in borderlands 3 sense as a boss fight it's ok but it completely ruins the character and retcons events in the presequel. Sense every borderlands game has different writers the writers danny and sam looked at her character and thought "oh she's rich and hates hammerlock and that's her character", and works for more power hungry people,the twins who just use her to get the vault key. Yes, it's a 7 year gap but they never explain why she's evil which other than she's jealous of her brother and wants to kill jakobs and like I said she never liked hammerlock but never wanted to kill him because if she did, she would've did it before sense she's a huntress or worked for Jack. And the trailers seem like they were going with her teaming up with hammerlock and completely retconed it. It comes down to bad writing and not knowing your characters in previous entrys.I hope in borderlands 4 they return to the writer Anthony from 2 or the writers in the presequel but I doubt it sense they always change writers. At least we don't have to see these two guys again. Aurelia will still be one of my favorite characters and I will keep playing her in the presequel.

[@wintersmith]

I thought Aurelia was a cool character as well. I liked Nisha more pre sequel and was annoyed that you kill her off in BL2.

[@erierider5245]

I like baronees cuz *SLAP*

[@wintersmith]

Only a Baroness though. . . . . .

@@wintersmith The Term Lady has been muddied by todays use of it. A lady is the Female counter part of a Gentleman ie something that is earned and not given to by your sex

Too bad gearbox was too lazy to record new npc dialogue for her and instead just used the placeholders

T Jex. 2k Australia developed the pre sequel not gearbox....

[@beckhampang191]

2k Australia was shut down so they couldn't finish it

[@thefactspherefromportal2740]

They did for the Claptastic DLC, though. Here's an example: Aurelia: "And now?" Handsome Jack: "And nowwwwww? Wait for it, Lady..."

[@xan6168]

Nice vid dude, was on the fence about this character but you have sealed it for me

[@wintersmith]

+Xan616 Awesome. My initial reaction was also negative until Aurelia met Moxxi. It kept getting better the more I speced into the cryo tree. Thanks for the feedback :)

[@rukrawczyk]

winter smith my first tree was actually her sniping tree. muckamucks with that were fun

[@fireblast133]

Depending on how you build her, she can be pathetic or a monster mobber with decent badass killing capability. Getting large caliber, quality not quantity, and next to cleanliness, plus her celestial baroness class mod nets you +120% gun damage at all times, with very good reload speeds, on all weapons that are blue rarity or better, and not explosive, fire, or corrosive inherently (and cryo is her best element anyway). You sacrifice some clip size on anything except snipers though.

[@TheSpawnfan]

Nisha is openly hostile to Moxxi, gee, i wonder why?

[@beansowles]

"Who knew the slutty clown was also a slutty mechanic?" Nisha is my fav character

[@RPerez-rn8be]

whats this thing about Alistair's Alley?

[@wintersmith]

Its an adult reference to her brother Alistair Hammerlock, or Sir Hammerlock from Borderlands 2.

[@thechrysis5359]

I think it refers to Alistair's interest in creatures.

[@virgilmcmath6363]

its a slight tip to his homosexuality

[@FriendlyFire2112]

virgil mcmath I think with borderlands, almost everyone is gay and it's rare to be strait

[@drewpacabra4136]

Hammerlock studies threshers. It's a jab at how we was attacked by them and lost an arm to Old Slappy.

[@bigjayjay2x597]

This game sort of hinted at Loves, guns, and tentacles with Hammerlock marrying Allister years before it even released.

[@bigjayjay2x597]

@@wintersmith It is a bit longer (at least one part leading up to specific boss fight is) but overall it's fun and the length didn't bother me too much. Plus they have some guns that will eat through a lot of enemies quickly. Though one specific boss fight will have you irritated quickly and to be honest was just far too long due to it's mechanics.

In borderlands 2 you hear Ellie talk about having Scooter for a brother and Moxxi for a mum.

So moxxie+jack=Ellie and scooter?..... not sure I follow that XD

We dont know who the father was, but Moxxi has been married to Mr Shank, Marcus and Jimbo Hodunk? She has mentioned women and men such as Jack and Motor Mama that she was more than friends with. Too classy for Springs though.
