In what order to play through the game?

[MikeSol99]

I just finished Playthrough 1. Should I jump to Playthrough 2 or the expansions? If the expansions, in what order?

but i am playing the DLCs before de second playthrough, i think theres no real need to play the second playthrough unless u wanna have the 'original' experience for the game, a used to play in the NG+ only when iam chilling

I'd say at least play Claptrap revolution before jumping to playthrough 2. At the end of it Blake will give you access to armory that will scale to lvl of your main story quest. You can always come back there if you need some gear. Not 100% sure about it (I only played this game twice as Mordecai and Lilith) but for playthrough 2 scaling I think you need to do DLC also in that playthrough (that s what I did while playing Mordecai in playthrough 2 and gear in that armory kept scaling to my main story mission).

If you've already played the main campaign in BL1, I'd say finish the DLCs before moving on to BL2.

BL2 is a more polished game (in my opinion), but is also different in tone, being brighter, zanier and somewhat less realistic (relatively speaking of course).

I personally think BL2 is the better game, but once you've played it (assuming you like it) then the rest of BL1 will pale a bit in comparison.

If you've never played any of them, I'd personally suggest starting with BL2, but since you've already played BL1's main story, I'd say finish that first.

OP is asking about order of BL1 content, not other games. I might be mistaken but this is how I understand original post.

Veelqnexus is correct.

@MikeSol99 That Blake's loot room at Tartarus Station is really worth it imo. It's like 10 red chests or something like this and you don't have to fight anything on the way to this place if you want to farm it. Once I realized that loot there scales later on, I kept visiting every 2-3 levels :)
