They. NEVER. Shut. Up.

[Vuyek]

I mash ESC when a cutscene starts playing. Easy peasy, no more "plot".

Or is there?

Nope, when doing missions, the side characters never shut up. They yammer, yap, shout, talk to you all the while pew pew is happening.

"Coffee!" - ok girlboss mary sue character number 438973475489438, got it, it's a "funny" "joke" that was funny never and now is even less so.

And this is one of the least annoying characters.


In BL2, there was a point as Jack was taunting you. Here it's just word diarrhea every two seconds.

[Black Hole]

Yeah it is pretty annoying having to wait what feels like minutes for a character to finally allow you to continue the objective.

I wish the no more dialogue mod worked still. being able to hit a keybind to skip everything would be so nice.

[I Should Be Sleeping]

Don't you love how before boarding Sanctuary 2 you're forced to talk to Ellie so she can tell you to board Sanctuary 2. Top tier writing with 0 wasted dialogue.

wait the mod doesn't work anymore? wtf.

[Black Hole]

You can skip just about every scene but the gay kiss scene for the tentacular dlc. in this entire game lol

[Vlad von Carstein]

There is a mod to add a button that skips to the end of conversations

[Black Hole]

I think it's dumb that a mod has to be made just for this purpose lol

[Rolo]

Go to Borderlands3\OakGame\Content\Paks and delete/rename the following files:

pakchunk3-WindowsNoEditor.pak
pakchunk3-WindowsNoEditor_0_P.pak
pakchunk3-WindowsNoEditor_1_P.pak
pakchunk3-WindowsNoEditor_2_P.pak
pakchunk3-WindowsNoEditor_3_P.pak
pakchunk3-WindowsNoEditor_4_P.pak
pakchunk3-WindowsNoEditor_5_P.pak
pakchunk3-WindowsNoEditor_6_P.pak
pakchunk3-WindowsNoEditor_7_P.pak
pakchunk3-WindowsNoEditor_8_P.pak
pakchunk3-WindowsNoEditor_9_P.pak
pakchunk3-WindowsNoEditor_10_P.pak
pakchunk3-WindowsNoEditor_11_P.pak

This skips all dialogue in the game, rendering it playable.

What about the autistic pyromaniac little girl or Scooter and his sister or everyone else that wouldn't shut the hell up though? Also the point of Jack talking nonstop was so they could do a journo jerk and have at least one "character" - this was back in the heyday of the Millennial writers thinking that people monologuing for the entire thing about their feelings like it was a one-act play constituted character development.

In reality the writing for the Borderlands series was always quite terrible and the only people that survived it were children when BL 1 and 2 came out.

I highly doubt this game was primarily only played by kids dude, I thought the villain was pretty good and I found him rather amusing to listen to.

If you listen to any of the logs or lore, there is an explanation for why the characters act that way. While it doesn't stop them from talking, there's a reason why they act that way.

[Black Hole]

Yup at least they give a reason for the way he is, even show this in the pre sequel.

The twins though lack an interesting motivation for why they turned to being pure evil.

"What about the autistic pyromaniac little girl"

She was f....ing hilarious

[Black Hole]

She was funny in the second game but idk she has kinda worn out her charm for me and wasn't really relevant in the story never shows up at sanctuary or anything like that.

Also tragic backstory and why there’s a sidequest associated to that.
