Which character for first playthrough?

[GamingNomad]

I already started with Mordecai, but I'm willing to restart.

Which character is better for a first playthrough? I want something fun. Not overly challenging, not too easy. I just want to experience the game.

All Virgins pick the woman, obviously.

lilith is great for solo play roland for co-op and solo, mordecai can be played as a sniper or pistol build or max out bloodwing, brick is melee and rocket launcher mainly and my least favorite

I went with Lilith because I thought she would be different than the bl2 assassin which I was sort of right sort of wrong abut, the abilities are very similar but the utilities of both are very different, Lilith is kind of a killing power house and if you keep your level at least as high as the main story missions recommend youre not gonna end up dying at all on your first play through, I'm gonna finish all the dlc on my first playthrough before moving onto the second playthrough for my Lilith, I've already beat Dr. Need zombie island and I'm gonna do moxxi's thunder dome next

Well, you can be a Virgin and play the lady, you can be a coward that use turrets and play the black guy, you can be a coward who use a sniper and play the skinny luchador, or you can break some heads with your fists/rocket launcher and use BRICK

Lilith has a meh skilltree, but Phasewalk is a real game breaker once you invest in related skills.

Roland can regen ammo and health easily, but the Scorpio turret is awkward to use properly.

Mordecai can bypass shields, and has a pet Bloodwing which attacks like a homing missile.

Brick has powerful passives and buffs in his skilltree, but Berzerk is only situationally useful.

It depends on playstyle, they all play pretty much the same at the beginning when you have no skill points yet. You can't use an action skill until level 5 (but this might be about 20 minutes into the game) and don't have enough skill points to use the highest tier skills at all until level 21.

By the first time you complete the game you will be about level 35, depending on how many side missions you finished and how much grinding you did. Max level is 69 with the DLC add-ons.

XZV is right. at the beginnig all are the same.


Lilltihs Phasewalk will be a gamebreaker after enough skill points and i really missed that kind of siren in BL2.
There is a nice revolver build for mordecai i unfortuantely never used.
for a sniper the distance seemed to be all the time to low. but that is just my opinion..you just cant have sitting ducks all the time. ;) (Mordecai sniper was my first cahracter).

At the end lillith was most fun (phasing in and spamming the enemys full of elemenatal smg ammunition on short range before phasing out again in security). i even killed crawmerax sometime with the snipermod/com.

Roland was only medicore on singleplayer for me.

and brick was the only cahracter i played not to lv 69 but just to 40.
beserk is fun, but there are some enemys you cant beat (especially on DLCs) if you want a only melee guy. with enough time i would have played him to 69 and get more SP for rockets. maybe the than the big robot would have been killable. maybe he just was not my kind of playing the game. ;)
