Ah, missed that.

The only trouble I had playing by myself was that the guns I found always seemed to suck so I felt that the game was harder than it should have been.

The game's difficulty is weird.
Solo, it's kinda hard early on.
Two people, it's too easy.
Three people, it's just right.
Four people, it's too easy again.

Is this Roland guy I picked any good coz he feels week ATM
Of corse this could just be because it all new to me.

Well...
It depends more on what guns you find most of the time how well you do. But Roland's skills are mostly tailored for team support, meaning he's better when he's with other people. His main damage increasing skills revolve around assault rifles, and it often seems like they're the weakest weapons, unfortunately.
He's kind of the middle ground character. Okay at everything, not great at much.

It's not that he's weak. It's just that his particular damage focus (in my experience) doesn't have the same kind of punch because a good ARs is harder to find. Often times this will keep you from matching another character with a different weapon focus.
Any AR you get with a good damage almost invariably has a very low clip, and any with a large clip have very low damage. Because of this he often can't keep up with a sniping Mordecai, an SMG Lilith, or Brick (just being himself).
Now, if you do manage to find a nicely balanced AR, then you're golden. Very tough to match.

Level 164 Dingo bugger me is there even a level cap ?

He's LvL 64. I think you misread that. The level cap is 70.

Lol yep I was way off I did think 164 was odd!

I tried to solo the crab myself. Soon as I got up top a maggot had pushed me off the cliff.
I was all

If you want another partner for Borderlands hit me up if you catch me online.

Got my ass kicked by sledge .when I respawn I have just about used up all ammo and health packs and no cash .does this mean I have to leave him and go of doing other stuff .....annoying
It takes so long to get anywhere.
What happens when I'm out of cadh and ammo?

Yeah. That's why you really need to use the vehicles. Lots of level grinding helps too if you have trouble with a boss. Go out and come back like 10 levels higher than the boss and usually you'll do OK. That's what I did when I was running into trouble. Or you host, and have a buddy with a high level character join you. You'll still get EXP, and they'll do most of the work.

Ammo: Look for skag piles or rubbish piles that you can break up for ammo. Go for head shots too, I think people tend to drop more when you head shot them.

Cool thanks Dingo I was staying to close for sure
Iv left him for now (I took streets advice) I'll do some other stuff.
Then go back.

Yeah, Skag Poop is pretty much your best friend in that game when it comes to ammo.

Lols, that still seems wrong.

When would it ever be right? lol
