Borderlands 2

[Geno9999]

She would totally have double the backpack space of anyone else. Have you seen what comes out of that woman's cleavage?!

Hmm...
Okay, one tree dedicated to carrying more stuff. Be it guns, grenades, ammo, whatever.

Another is geared towards inflicting elemental damage (most of Moxxi's weapons are Maliwan brand.)

The last tree is focused on healing, either from inflicting damage, or simply through passive regen.

And her action skill?

[Geno9999]

And her action skill?

How about something like Maya's Thoughtlock, where she can convert enemy. Maybe one of the trees (or scatter it across all three trees,) also adds how many targets you can convert, duration/cooldown, maybe shared shields and increased health regen, etc.

Though all of this sounds like a heavily modded Maya.

[Anteros]

She does strike me as a Siren type character. Hmm...I guess all the main females in Borderlands are typecast.

Or Tiny Tina, or Helena Pearce (if Moxxi is a "main character" then those two qualify as well!).

[Psyren]

Helena sucks and Gaige/Tina are gearheads. Moxxi can outfight Helena I'm sure but I don't think that makes her good enough to be a VH.

[NeoVid]

Anyone could outfight Helena, since she's dead.

Dohohohoho.

[Anteros]

How is Helena a main character? Was she ever even actually on the screen at any given point? I could see the argument for Tiny Tina...although she's so young that it's hard to really find that point compelling. It's a completely different niche that she fills.

I have no experience with Gaige. I already have 3 vault hunters that I never play as...I don't need to pay money for 2 more I won't use.

As for Moxxi...it wouldn't surprise me a bit to find out in BL3 that she's a Siren. Either keeping it a secret, or only recently having her powers awakened. It would be absolutely ridiculous from a plot perspective...but it's Borderlands so that's standard. Of course, I don't even think that they should make her playable. It's just a fun conversation topic.

It would surprise me for several reasons:

• Sirens always have tattoos on their left arms. Moxxi's bare left arm has been previously seen.
• You're born as a Siren. Lilith as a child was acknowledged by her father as such while he lay dying.
• Weak writing. Borderlands is clever, but it does not create plot points out of nothing.

Tree? I've heard "great tracts if land" but never "trees" before!
But no, seriously, it's just her boobs. Let her start with an extra gun slot and some back pack space.

The character type Moxxi most resembles? Standard would be assassin. She's the villainess from a spy movie; overly sexed, cute speech, smiles sultrily while drilling you full of holes with her machine guns.

Outside of core, she's a psycho. Well, bandit. She's bloodthirsty, sadistic, possibly masochistic too... She would blend Krieg and Zero for skills.

So's Roland, but he could kick both Helena and Moxxi's asses.


Moxxi as a Siren would be pretty lame to me. Wouldn't that make Scooter and (shudder) Ellie half-Sirens? No thanks.

[Geno9999]

1) I don't think that's how becoming a Siren works, 2) that would imply that Handsome Jack and Angel's mother were a combination of both being either half-Sirens or pure Siren. 3) There can only be six Sirens in the universe at any given time, and we know of 4 3 2.

[Psyren]

2) that would imply that Handsome Jack and Angel's mother were a combination of both being either half-Sirens or pure Siren.

Not necessarily. It could be a latent gene; but, having expressed itself fully in the over Sirens we know, skipping their offspring would then be less likely.

Or perhaps I should say - it would be lamer still that a full Siren is capable of having children as utterly mundane/inbred as Scooter and Ellie.

And finally, Angel knows all about Scooter, and likely Moxxi and Ellie as well as a result. If Moxxi was a Siren, you'd think she'd comment on it, given how gaga she and Jack were over Maya.

I'm assuming you must never have played the original Borderlands, given that statement, since Helena Pearce was the main quest-giver in New Haven.

[Triscuitable]

Yeah, I seriously doubt that. That'd make Sirens more well known, and far less mysterious. People know what Sirens are, but not how they exist, got their powers, or other notable facts. They just know that they have powers, and that they're all women.

You're assuming Sirens go around having kids, or even that they can.

[Triscuitable]

No, you're inferring that from something I never stated. My assumption is that children are just born like this at random; there's no way to gauge whether or not a child will be a siren (just that when there's less than six, the next born would likely be one).

[Thanatos 51-50]

Gaige is a siren, her father just never knew, and she cuts off her left arm for the Summon Deathtrap Stick, so she lost her ability to use Siren Powers.

I played it quite a bit. I just don't remember her standing out in any way. If I remember correctly she looked fairly generic and had almost no personality. I'd hardly compare her to Tina or Moxxie.

My point is that Moxxi being one would go beyond random into asspull territory.

[Geno9999]

There's a hotfix out, fixing the drop rates of Doc Mercy, Mad Dog, Savage Lee, and McNally.

[Forrestfire]

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of a method to transfer a PS3 save file to the PC version of the game?

Yup; Gibbed.

[Forrestfire]

Thanks

[SiuiS]

Well. This thread died quickly.

No more interest in Borderlands? Has everyone achieved their goals and dreams already?

[Badgerish]

I'm playing and loving it. (although GW2 is taking more time)

lvl 27 gaige, currently running through Torgue's DLC (AWESOME) and looking forward to Tiny Tina's DLC.

[Forrestfire]

I've been busy with school starting up again.

The last time I played I was going through Where Angels Fear to Tread and got killed a bunch of times by a level 48 super badass loader. Going through with the intent of finishing the story first was probably a bad idea, since I'm level 45 right now...
