Why are Borderlands 3 characters so ugly?

[Prince Slug]

Seriously, what gives? It's like they tried to make them ugly.

funny you commented on that because i said on another thread i was not very impressed by the way the playable characters look in bl3.

Yeah I'm not sure, BL 1+2 had the time tested combo of soldier guy, muscular dude, cool assassin, and then token hot chick. I can't help but feel the SJW trends in the new characters. Moze definitely feels the most forced in character to me and I can appreciate the new siren for the sake of variety, but I'll wait to judge them when we get to see and hear their personalities and writing.

What makes you say that about Moze? She's the only normal looking one that's hot.

They changed the art direction from "anime / cartoon" to somewhere between cartoony and modern realistic.

It crashes badly, and it looks like wax figures or plastic toys running around.

Mm, yeah, visually I wasn't nearly as impressed as I was with BL2 or BL:TPS.

A lot of the character designs look .. youthful.

I actually preferred the older games, where all the characters looked like adults. Not to say that the older games had no children, or not to say that some of the characters in BL3 actually are young, but I'm still sensing something of a trend.

Sounds like someones pissed they won’t have new hentai material. :/

In all seriousness, I like FL4K. He’s cool looking. Zane looks bland. Amara is meh. And soldier whamen looks like soldier whamen.

Im 110% sure BL 3 is gonna be trash, p2w, p2levelfaster etc. BL2 is gonna be better LUL.

they just really overall are meh to me. i loved the characters in the other games but this one they just dont appeal as much to me from what i have seen.

im really kinda getting the loot box pay to win vibes. especially when i saw they had xp boosters. i really hope im wrong but so many greedy publishers make devs put those microtransactions in there now a days.

BL3 will be a good game, no matter what people think.
They had BL2 as solid base to build BL3 over.

As for characters are ugly, i have to agree, but hopefully they left the characters desing for last and they will improve it on the next 2 months before release.

[ThatsItIm0ut]

I don't care so much about how they look.

I care about the gameplay and skilltrees. Looking forward to know more about that. There will most likely be more classes too. Two or maybe even more this time....?

yes but bl2 was created years ago before the super greed fest and pay to win crap started. so i am very skeptical at this point.

I totally see your point, but being a Buy2Play game usually they dont have any p2w crap. That's more for F2P/Subscription game.

not really. i have assassin creed odyssey a single player game and theirs a store and xp boosters just like in bl3 that i saw. they put microtransactions in almost every game now thats AAA so it would not surprise me at all. they could make the grind for weapons really bad and magically have something you buy that helps you get them faster. I am just going to wait until steam release then I get to see what they did with the game. I have pre-ordered before and won't do it anymore because of how the market is now.
