How many times can you replay the story?

[Wybrem]

After completing it one time, you can do it again in a higher difficulty and than? even more? Wanna know cause i keep rushing untill the last for side missons

After the first time you unlock TVHM and can play through that & reset it an unlimited number of times. What doesn’t reset are crew challenges, dead clap traps, crimson radio & typhoon

Normal mode should get you to lv 35, 38

Then there is new game + called true vault hunter mode. Starts the game over. Only thing that carries over is map quests like typhon logs and such.

TVHM scales enemies to your level no matter where in the game

Then you have mayhem which is a challenge mode. It adds modifiers to tha game that either makes it harder, more annoying, or easier depending on what random modifier you get. Full list can be found at the mayhem pedestal in Sancturary

2, it only has Normal and TVHM for each character, Mayhem Mode is the replacement to UVHM and it can be optionally set to different levels while playing TVHM

Do I have to do all story missions again in mayhem mode? I cannot bear much more cringe dialog

No. Mayhem is an extra challenge mode not a traditional olaythrough difficulty. You can even enable mayhem in normal mode

Would be nice if they added an option to skip to level 30 and start in THVM. Just like they did in the latest BL2 DLC. After playing through the story atleast once, obviously.

I agree but pretty sure we’ve got a few years to wait if it happens at all. In BL2 we only got that for the FFS dlc.

Imo it would be nice if you didnt have to do the story twice. Such poor design imo. The average player plays BL3 for 50 hours so most likely nobody plays it twice, dunno why they keep insisting it's great.

Nobody plays the story twice? You have a lot to learn about borderlands games and borderlands players.

I don't I can just look up how long everyone plays it, and with that data I can see that almost nobody plays the story twice. All player average (console and pc) is 51 hours. So 30 hours for first campaign and than some farming or dlc.

BL3 has an average of 51 hours,
BLPS had an average of 22 hours,
BL2 had an average of 56 hours.
BL1 had an average of 27 hours lol.
Clearly almost nobody gives a ♥♥♥♥ about the True Vault Hunter Mode. It's lazy and games like Destiny handle it way better.

You can always turn down the voice volume of the characters, if you know the story well enough, or just dont care.

I stopped doing side quests around level 24 and rushed main story, that way in TVHM i still have some new content to do and reasons to explore if thats your kind of thing. There are other benefits to saving side quests for TVHM but i wont get into those.

I am right about to beat the main story (on last mission while writing this) only probably explored 50-60% of the map plenty left to do, around 10-15 side quests i haven't touched, other builds id like to try, Guardian Ranks, DLC's ive yet to play (and the ones in development) i see plenty of reasons that are going to have me smashing that TVHM button.

In my opinion bl3 is all about the gunplay, if you came here just for a story, you might be disappoint
