I'm finishing up Borderlands 1 and I can't really decide who I want to play as in Borderlands 2. I've played it many times but I've never actually finished Borderlands 2 although I've gotten pretty close a couple of time before dropping it in favor of other games. I've also finished Borderlands 3 recently and thought I might as well play the rest of the games.

If your only going to play once? Then I guess Gaige but there is no challenge with her at all.

Salv and Maya are both good for a first run through, that you plan on playing again in the future.

Zero plays more like lily in the first one, but is more of a challange I think, still alot of fun.

IF you suck at aiming all together, or you suck at FPS games, Gaige is basically the easy button. You don't even really need to aim eventually, just spray bullets and let the richochete do the jobs.

PC Master Race. I can't use a controller for shit in an FPS.

I'm probably going to go through once and probably play some of the DLCs. I'll definitely run through Assault on Dragon Keep since I did play through it with friends and enjoyed it.

Well if you want a challenge go with one of the others, Gaige is GREAT for kids, or people who can't aim at all (especially with a controller). You can play her without taking the skills that make her auto-hit everything, but even then her digi creature kills tons of stuff while you hide if you want etc. She is pretty much the easiest one to play by far.

I'd go with one of the others honestly, then later if you wanna just destroy everything, play as Gaige.

Gaige is probably the easiest for general play, Salv is the strongest for endgame stuff (it's very easy to build him to be virtually invincible while also slagging everything). Zero's quite tricky unless you're good at sniping (building him effectively for melee requires some pretty specialized gear). Maya's very strong and pretty intuitive to use (though I really haven't played enough as her), I've never touched Axton, and I really want to get more into Krieg but I was burned out on the game by the time I got around to him so I can't really comment on him except that his personal commentaries are some of the most entertaining.

I played Axton almost the entire time I've owned BL2. Too bad he didn't get BL3's ARs though, they have been improved so damn much!

Dragon Keep is the best part of the entire game, hands down.

You're right, but I wasn't even thinking about the storyline with Roland.

I just love the new enemy types, all the dragons, the D20 chests, etc. The locations are awesome too. Plus we get some hilarious Mr. Torgue stuff.

One of my friends was particularly upset by Roland's death, so playing with him as he went through Dragon Keep for the first time was quite the experience. It really was quite masterfully done, especially considering how utterly absurd and not serious at all most of it (and the game) was.

Depends on how you build her.

Everyone who dismisses her as easy is usually going Anarchy - but I don't think I put a single point in Anarchy when I played her. I was dumping all my points into Deathtrap.

...granted, she was still pretty easy (he did a lot of the work, she was more like his support character), but that can bite you in the ass in certain situations (the mission in Opportunity where you have to destroy the statues, and the raid boss).

Personally, though, I just play her because she's got the most fun and interesting personality of the group.

If you're playing for the first time, the default beginner character is Axton. Like Roland, he was literally designed to be the balanced character that is easy to spec and easy to use for people who don't necessarily know what they're doing.

Not much of a challenge if you build him right - he can literally solo the hardest raid bosses.
