Writing has never been Borderlands strong suit, and I don’t expect it to get any better. The story will be bad, the dialogue will be bad, the jokes will be bad. They hit gold once with Borderlands 2, and never again. Will the gameplay be good? That’s the real question.
Borderlands 2 had an excellent antag with some pretty good writing. With Borderlands 3, the antags were so insufferable, with the rest of the characters only progressing the plot because of stupid decisions, that I really didn’t feel the need to continue.
