The writing is Really bad
I read some reviews before buying it, and figured I liked the gameplay of BL2 enough to warrant buying BL3. But BL2 i thought, was still on the edge of funny. It had character. This is just abysmal.

All the characters so far are absolutely painful to listen to. Lorelei comes to mind. Humor wise, it's either dad jokes, or toilet humor, or dad toilet humor.

Really, who wrote this?

Lorelei is far from the worst of the cast. They the not around yet, but they will make you cringe so hard. I promise.

Yeah I didn't mind Lorelei much... At least they made her a British coffee addict instead of reaching for the low hanging tea jokes.

Pretty sure she's Aussie? I presumed she was a bit of homage to the Pre-Sequel.

Gameplay is far superior but writing, story and characters, apart from playable ones and old ones, are pure cancer.

Lorelei is one of the worst? Someone hasn't met Ava yet. When you do eventually run into her, all I can do is pray for you. Gods speed brother, gods speed.

The gameplay is really great. The only playable character that makes me want to put 2 pencils up my nose and slam my face against my desk is probably Moze. If she call someone a scrub or noob one more time I might actually go through with it.

I just hate the Ending (which we'll not talk about in the event spoilers occur) for feeling too rushed. It was just a quick little dumb thing with shounen powers all of a sudden.
That and I also hate how people can only call you 1 thing I.E Lilith's "Hey Killer" or Moxxi's "Sugar." I get catch phrases, but why is almost every line riddled with these? It gets plain annoying. I can deal with Vault Hunter as that's the in game profession but hearing those two in particular every damn time is annoying.

So far yes it is nowhere near as entertaining as BL2

She's speaking with a cockney accent. I suspect that word will be partially censored, so I'll use "Londoner" too.

I agree that the turd jokes are overused and never once amusing.

Yeah, its pretty C R I N G E...., as a whole its pretty bad, but B2 and BPS had far worse characters like Pickles, Janey Springs and (little tiny tina)...the bosses for sure are the worst designs in any game with terrible lines, cringe "streams/uploads" i mean why is this game built around STREAMING???

Lorelei will seem like a well-written character after you meet the creator's pet that turns every story character amount them into a drooling idiot
