Lost inspiration

Hey everyone. So being honest here, the last chapter I posted got like no feedback for over a month. That put me in a slump, it felt like no one cared to start a conversation about Borderlands 3. I know, "I'm needy". But writing was supposed to make me happy, not feel like a chore. And as I kept working on the next chapter, it felt more and more like a job. So i took a brake obviously. Got a new job as a sous chef, dated a nice guy for a bit (it didn't work out :( Went to GenCon, it was nice. I told myself I'll pick it back up after Borderlands 3 comes out. But then all the bad PR started coming out about Gearbox and Pitchford, and the voice actor crap. Then the game comes out and I was utterly disappointed. Gameplay is great. Guns are great. But the story, the lack of characters, what they did to my baby Maya. To replace her with this annoying tweenager. They completely left out Gaige and Krieg was just a series of ECHOs. Then they left out Axton and Salvador too. They're not my favorites, but neither was Mordecai, but I grew to love him as a character in Borderlands 2. So why not bring those two back? And then, the story feels like it just plays itself. The entire ending half of the game emphasizes the power of Sirens, but you play Amara and she just stands there twiddling her thumbs. And on that note, I thot the plot twist with the passing of Siren powers was hella cheap and dumb. Maybe that's because they introduced it by killing my favorite character. Which I'm stillmad about.

And the humor just felt neutered. The jokes just didn't land. It's like they didn't want to het too dirty or offensive, but that's what Borderlands is! The best quest from 2 is literally shooting a guy in the face cuz he asked you to! What happened to that?

It was. just not good enough for me. Maybe i over hyped it. But comparing 2 and 3. I'd rather play 2.

I know I'm petty for it, but all this accumulated to me just not wanting to play any Borderlands anymore, and therefore not want to write for it. Maybe I'll find my love for the series again someday.

But for now, I'm saying goodbye.
