Size up atleast once <| sep |> I take 500 mg of magnesium and stool softener every night . My poop smells like something died . It ' s embarrassing lol <| sep |> If the fear of getting shit talked was so great , why not disable chat yourself ? Why does SE have to be the one disabling the chat , if anyone could do that by changing to another log . <| sep |> I ' ve played and finished every Borderlands game so far including all the DLC main story missions . Although I haven ' t played as much on every difficulty level and haven ' t finished every single extra missions , raid bosses or used all characters extensively . I ' ll try to pass on my two cents . First of all . I highly recommend anyone to play through all the games in order of release date . Sometimes you need to do enough side missions before you can comfortably play through the main story . They often reward good enough weapons and will give experience points in order to level up your character enough in order to continue with the main story missions . Once you get to a high enough level , almost everything will be easily doable . Many missions and places in Borderlands will give you more information about the world . I found the gameplay and story a little boring sometimes . Overall the first game seems pale in comparison to Borderlands 2 . Still , I wouldn ' t want to miss out if only because some places , characters and other stuff plays a role in the other games as well . Tales from the Borderlands uses material from all the other games combined . Some characters in Borderlands you ' re already somewhat familiar with . Athena , Brick , Scooter , Claptrap , Mad Moxxi , Marcus Kincaid , Lillith , Mordecai . My advice . Play through all the main story missions including those in the DLC . Then move onto Borderlands 2 and do the same and after that do the same with Borderlands The PreSequel .
