I miss this game. It's been so long since I've played it.

That being said, I saw Cobalt's post about Lilith, and not being sure how to play her. She was by far my favorite character, and I definitely had the hardest time trying to figure out how to build her, and be happy with her. She can fill a lot of roles, and my favorite was acting as Daze support. You have such powerful options for just shutting down entire mobs, and locking them almost indefinitely.

I threw this together randomly, it seems alright, but I'm a bit rusty because I've not played for a while, so I'm not sure if things seem better, or not. Did they ever fix Silent Resolve? If not, or if they changed the way it was supposed to work, then those are points easily dropped. They might not be worth it anyway, given the Inner Glow and Daze powers.

Girl Power or Spark might be better than Silent Resolve, but I would rather have the ability to tank damage, when necessary, and use the Phasewalk as an even better stabilization tool. Spark never seemed necessary, especially given the already insane proc-rates of the Hellfires. Anarchies won't care about it, either, and that makes it seem like the points are wasted completely.

The last point in Mind Games seemed like it would've been less useful than the singular point in Venom, to cover your corrosive needs on demand, without having to switch weaponry. It's a bit of a slippery slope, but I felt 20% sounded fine, given the rapid-fire of the SMGs anyway. The four-point Mind Games, along with the full Dramatic Entrance probably seems like a lot, but when I used Lilith, I wanted to make sure that I had pretty consistent and wide-spread Dazes. It's such a powerful effect, and she's so good at applying it by spraying with the SMG, or by using the Phase as an AoE Daze, that I wanted to make the best of it.

I find Lilith interesting.

When I first got Borderlands, I started with Lilith right away. I thought it would take a while to get the hang of a new game and a certain play style.

Playing Lilith was like slipping on a familiar glove.

There was nothing there that I hadn't really seen before. General shooter feel, Diablo 2-ish loot finding. I swear, when she's in Phasewalk she's just like a werewolf from Morrowind. It was really weird.

Hooray for awesome free guns!

Yeah, the game's weird like that. But I don't think it's a bad thing, Az.

It does look like they fixed Silent Reslove:

I didn't even know it was broken like that.

The thing about Daze is, I think it might be too powerful. I don't want everything to just stand around while I shoot it. Makes it too easy, imho.
I'm thinking something more like this:

I still have Dramatic Entrance, but it's more of an emergency escape plan. Depending on any good elemental SMGs I find, I may move points from Silent Resolve over to Spark. On hitting 61, I'd move the points from Intuition over to Venom. I'd put them elsewhere, honestly, but I want Phoenix. Lilith just seems to eat ammo. Probably the Anarchies doing that. lol
Again though, it'll depend on the weaponry I use. Good elemental gun, and I'll go for Spark. Good Anarchy, and I'll go for Phoenix.

Whelp managed to get myself to level 48. Another 3 months and I'll be 49.

You know, it'll take less time if you play with multiple people of a similar level.
Also, you're playing with Mordecai, right? Do you have that one skill that increases EXP? I've got Lilith's version on. I'm a good bit into the Knox dlc and I just hit 41. Still on 1st playthrough.

DLC is enjoyable so far. Funny, of course. I like the new cars and can't wait to get the third one. Gonna have to party up to get full use of it though.
Hunting Loot Midgets. Rather amusing.

Oh yeah I have it on. Just gonna do a batch of the quests then turn them in in the one go.

Found an unmarked quest line in the Sunken Sea area (the one with the Prison). In a little hut with an ammo store next to what passes for a lake is a midget questgiver.

Thats in the new DLC?

Knox, yup.

Keep an Eye out for that then and for the other on on Dr. Ned.

lol, im only 26 and B got the Dr. Ned DLC.
(one more lvl,61) and guess what!
im never getting to it

There's an unmarked one on Dr. Ned? I knew not of this. What? Where?

Zombie Brains. Never became marked for me.

Oh, yeah. That's right. I guess I just tend to think of it as marked because finding that place gives you a little cinematic into. No one tells you about it though, so it does qualify as unmarked.
Fun Fact about that one. You can get all the brains you need for the first three of those missions before leaving that area. Just make sure not to pick up any brains before you get the quest. (Actually, don't pick up any period in any area until you get the quest. They stay on the ground where they drop until you pick them up, or until you turn the game off.) And once you're on the quest, only pick up as many as you need. Leave the rest for the next quest. I got the last one, 250, before even entering the Lumber Yard this way.

ooooh Good idea I'll do that.

Off topic question for Lesus.
I'm gonna collect up the reviews I've done and put them in a single thread. Where should I put such a thread?

Edit: I'm thinking Game Walkthroughs and Q&As section.

So you found the Midget huh? He gives out some pretty good quests later one, especially the last one.

He's only given me two. Should I check back later?

Was the last one?

Spoiler:

That would be the place Monkey.

How many Reviews have we got total?

Yup.

Just finished the Armory.

Good Lord Lesus, there's a lot of stuff in there. I needz moar people (with moar back pack space).
Sadly, the only thing I really picked up was a decent upgrade to my shield. Keep in mind though that this is with a playthrough 1 character.

Still got a couple missions to turn in, and one left to do.

Haven't seen this Crawmax thing yet. Guessing he's got something to do with the road sign I saw that reads
"Secret Final Boss
20 KM"


@Lesus,
Somewhere in the neighborhood of...several.
I'm not actually sure.
I'd guess maybe 7 or 8.
I plan to make thread similarly structured to how your Web Comics one is. But instead of linking comics, I'll be linking to posts within the thread. That way anyone looking can just click right to them.

Work away with that.

I have another Idea that involves you and Ratchet

SO who all is still playing this?

I haven't even gotten through it with one guy, much less all of them.
Started Dr. Ned a little while after it came out but didn't get far.
