#and who were only given a vague one-sentence description of the tps/tftbl characters

[tomiyeee]

gonna complain about bl3 lia yet again sorry but gb just gave me so so much to complain about

so like. literally everyone in the borderlands universe despises claptrap. including aurelia. and yet in claptastic voyage she apologizes for hurting his feelings. and she disagrees with jack ending the claptrap line despite the fact that she cant stand claptrap.

she's even disturbed by "killing" felicity, who she only just met.

so like. what the hell did alistair do that would make her hate him enough that she'd be willing to kill him??? they could have at least given some sort of backstory as to why the hell she hated him so much. instead they just gave us a vague "once the family bound is broken, there's no greater source of pain" and that was that. that line alone makes it sound like alistair did something to her that "broke the bond", enough so that she cares less about him than claptrap.

buuut, like many other points in the story, they just chose to gloss over it and act like it didnt exist. would it really have been so hard to, i dunno, include even just a side quest about their relationship? i mean really, they included the (extremely unnecessary) one about her and troy for fuck’s sake. i just can't wrap my head around how the hell they got from pre-sequel aurelia to whatever the hell bl3 was. the only logical explanation would be that they just literally didnt even bother to play any of the other games, which, considering their handling of the other characters, honestly wouldnt surprise me if that was the case.
