It should say something in the character skill screen.

Re: Borderlands

With skill Mods they dont show up in your skill tree, you just got to remember what ones you have, its really useful if you want to save points like the stunnin bloodwing at 100%, get a mod that does +3 to it then only put it at 2, theres 3 points to put somewhere else.

Exactly...you just plan your spec based on the mods...

Re: Borderlands

so because of work and some other circumstances, I hadn't played this since last Wednesday. By then I'd only reached level 11 and though I enjoyed it, I didn't completely understand why everybody was so in love with this game.

So tonight I finally get a chance to play again, do some coop with a friend and, yeah, this game is a ****ing blast. Perhaps because last time right when I had stopped most of the missions were pretty boring and my guy was low level and I had pretty crappy guns. Now I'm getting into some cool missions and starting to find so sweet guns and it was hard for to me to put tonight. Unfortunately I'll be busy most of the weekend, again, so I probably won't get a chance to play this until Tuesday. Hopefully the time passes fast.

Yeah, once you get past 15ish you end up with more missions and whatnot...it takes a little time to settle in, but ti's just addictive to find awesome guns, level up, etc. I love the grind, it's fun taking out camps with bandits in various ways.

Re: Borderlands

I found a pretty damn good deal for this game *$49.99 new* near me at a local mom and pop store.

I'm tight on money, but I don't know if I can pass on that, especially since it'll only be about $10...hmmm...

I was going to say I got it from Steam for $44.99 pre-release, but I guess you're playing PS3.

When it was released here in Canada I got mine for $39.99 at Futureshop, it was a 1 day only deal that I couldn't resist.

If I had a great gaming PC, i'd pick it up for that, but I don't and I really like FPS on PS3.

Re: Borderlands

I've got to ask - does the scenery change at all? So far I've got two guys going, and I'm starting to already get a little tired of the scenery. Does it switch up at all - or is it just all desert, skags, and bandits?

Also - anyone know what's up with these challenges that pop up? I keep getting random "challenge complete!" things with big XP bonuses, but I can't find word of this anywhere so far.

There's caves as well as an industrial-ish plant and also snow areas.

Go to the missions menu, press Y button.

So there's a little change, but not much? Mostly the same enemies over and over?

I'll try to do the PC equivalent of that, thanks.

Ya pretty much. Most of the time its either Skag or Bandits. No real variation in landscape other than the occassion town raid you do and cave system you need to wander. You do get into the mountains at one point though.

Re: Borderlands

there are many other enemies besides skags and bandits
