Is it possible to skip the initial base game and start directly at TVHM or UVHM? In BL2 it was such a waste of time completing the game just to find out that you need to complete it 3 more times before the "endgame" starts at lv80 op8

and before anyone asks, I have BL3 on Egs.

No, while there is TVHM in borderlands 3, endgame is different with mayhem levels which requires the completion of the main game to get access to it. From there you can get mayhem specific gear along with stronger guns at least for some legendaries going from 1-10 or 11 which is just 10 without modifiers.

Does my character need to be max level before I can activate mayhems?

No, just beating the main story unlocks it. I should mention per character, so it won't be available if you roll a new character.

So I can actually farm max level (mayhem 11?) loot even if my character isn't max level (72?)

Well it will have mayhem 11 text but they'll still have levels. So a mayhem 11 50 gun will be weaker then a level 72.

TVHM isn't necessary in this game. You can get max level on normal mode with mayhem, at any level, as long you complete story. There's no equivalent to Digistruct Peak in this game either.

I can only recommend rushing prologue in TVHM til you unlock Sanctuary (Hostile Takeover quest) to use as a quicker access to Sanctuary.
For example: in Normal mode you're farming a boss that's all the way at the end of the map and you happened to have the need to return to Sanctuary for whatever reason, especially if loot falls off the map and then go back to the boss. If you do so, you will have to run all the way back again. But if you have TVHM set in Sanctuary, then all you have to do is just change to TVHM, do your business and then change back to Normal and you will be where right where you left off - at the boss.

so it's still the best to reach max level then do mh11 right?

I plan to re-do the entire game at max level with mh11, does the reset remove the unlocked locations like in bl2?

Mayhem will level you faster, so doing it from the start is a good option.

Try it out - Mayhem 1 only gives "easy" modifiers: Enemies have more health/shield/armor but the modifiers are things like crit-kills giving way more drops.

Mayhem 10 is basically UTVH if we are being honest.

I'd assume you could make the character you need with BL3 Save Editor.

Does the game flag you in any way? I saw that the game now connects you to steam servers in BL2, gave me a good jolt lol
