This game rocks. I have been playing it on 360. Only to level 24 at this point. I haven't gained a lot of levels in the past bit I have played since I have been helping others level, still lots of fun.
Just beat the game with my friends. Awful ending.
some .ini tweaks i came across, please post more that you find

enabling mousescroll in some of the text boxes and skipping the startup movies are huge plusses
Was posted several pages back too. The mouse smoothing thing was the most useful to me!Quote:

I did a few ini tweaks yesterday (turned off intro movies, FOV and 3rd person mode primarily) and when I loaded the game it had reset all my video settings and wiped ALL of the controls mapping, meaning the only thing I could do in game was mouselook; no shooting, moving, opening menus, NOTHING. Had to alt-tab and then force the program closed.
Found a pretty abusable trick in New Haven that makes me wonder what I've missed in the past -
Spoiler
meh, its really not that hard to exploit this game
- join high level public game and wait around while other ppl do the dirty work
- pick up high level drops
- save
- load single player and sell
I've never had a problem with money in the game. It grows on trees.
But then you'd have to deal with idiots in public games while you race them to drops. :D I prefer just doing quick runs by myself on two easy chests that pretty much always give great stuff.Quote:

I'm an item whore and am contstantly seeing stuff in the shop for $40k or more that I want and my income in regular playing can't keep up with my extravagant spending habits. :DQuote:

The second playthrough of the game is MUCH harder. Also, DLC should be released relatively soon.
I don't really see why you would even want to do this or the New Haven chest exploit. Money and weapon drops are plentiful, I'd rather just play the game than farm crap.Quote:

Games like this, Diablo, and Titan Quest really just suck me in because I LOVE getting and trying out tons and tons of new things. Different strokes for different folks. Also probably the reason my game backlog is so damn huge.Quote:

If I take advantage at all I'll probably just do it long enough to get a new shield (since I've been using my current one for forever even though it's not all that great because I've gotten terrible shield drops) and a good revolver (because I like those a lot for some reason but, again, have only found pretty crappy ones).
Once you get to the second playthrough they will be plentiful...but revolvers are pretty useless it gets way hard!Quote:

I support your completionism. Man, have you ever played any game in the Disgaea series? If you're the type of person who likes getting all the stuff and finding all the endings, etc, those games will swallow your soul.Quote:

I think the other things is not being able to use guns until certain levels. It should have been based more on skill with the weapon class versus anything.
I am still loving Borderlands. I managed to stabilize my dying video card enough to enjoy the game for 2 hours tonight and woo, I'm at level 26 now.
I've put 27 hours in and I'm still enjoying it. I haven't purchased a whole lot as I've been happy with all of the weapons I've been finding. I've been getting plenty of weapons that are 2 or 3 levels above my own so I've been more than happy with the pickups as well.
Borderlands is fun. I feel like the weapon thing is sort of false advertising. Yeah, I've got shotguns that can cause explosions or shoot rockets, but they all look about the same. I agree that the parts should vary much more, rather than counting 40 different quality weapons of the same name and style 40 different guns.
Found a level 24 Eridian weapon yesterday, which is like an alien blaster that shoots balls of energy. Fire rate is like an SMG or combat rifle, and it has infinite ammo, though you still have to "reload" in a way because once you fire it for too long it has to cool down.
Anxious to try it out more, just found it before I quit for the night. Apparently levelling up your proficiency in Eridian weapons lowers the recharge time so that would be worth working towards.Played the bejeezus out of the first one, then had the common sense to stay away from the others lest I disappear from the earth. :DQuote:

A few of my friends were discussing Borderlands today and we realized we all had our settings reset after this past weekend as well. Did anyone else here have issues with your settings and/or bindings resetting either on Sunday or Monday?Quote:
