I like that they gave the bandits more personality in this game
In the other borderlands games the bandits were just crazy Psychos that were constantly attacking you
Yes you still have the crazy one in this game but you also have people like the guy who sold Fiona that mask or guy who was making fun of Rhys after he tried to kill him lol
Even Rudiger the bandit came off more as a guy with a genuine grudge against Hyperion than a mindless killing machine

the mask guy wanted to hit vaughn
Rudiger is Grease Face, right?
Because he'll always be Grease Face to me.
I don't know if they had any humanity really, but personality, yes. That was great to have compared to the main games, and makes each bandit stand out a bit more, despite the fact that they all look identical.
he did want to him but he didnt do it
had vaughn been dealing with bandits from the other borderlands games he would have been killed and they would not have hesitated to hit him lol
I called him Grease Face too so I got the Grease Face smash card. I like that name better than "Rudiger"
i like bossanova's real voice lol
LOOK INTO MY EYES WHEN I STARE AT YOU!!
PLUTO IS NOT A PLANET!!
MY MOM TOLD ME TO BRING A PALE LUNCH...YOU LOOK PALE ENOUGH TO ME!!
"Life come... life... go...
.... GO! GO GO GO GOGO!!!!"
The bandit who preps the cars was pretty funny.
"An odd pair.... We got Glasses Face and Hot Lady. Wow, you guys really know how to accessorize."
And the bandit who was with on the race was awesome too.
"MEAT BUDDIES RIDIN' THE DEATH TRAIN!"
"Hey, aw Eric is that you?"
"No, he doesn't got it. At all." Lol
"No man, get back. I got you. So..uh.."
"No, I got you. Get back man."
Damn i was about to do athread about this, but yeah i love that they have personality, it made me like the bandits even more
"PRETEND I'M A GOOD PERSON!"
"Sorry, I know this is rude, but I really don't like your face. Not one bit."
Yeah, they're human just crazy.
So, what exactly are Psychos? Like they're humanoid and everything, but I don't really know if they're human. They're just a little too weird I think. Do they explain this in the original borderlands games? Are they literally just insane people? Until I know for sure I'm going with my headcanon that they are all Nakayama's failed clones of handsome Jack.
No idea, sorry.
Is there any particular reason why they all look exactly the same? Besides the fact that it's easier to model?
The second one. That's why most of them wear face-concealing masks or helmets.
Hm. I just think it's kind of weird that they're as insane as they are. Like they can't talk about literally anything except meat, death, doom and bicycles.
That's what staying too long on Pandora does to you. It's a recurring thing in all of the games that if you didn't start crazy, then Pandora will DRIVE you crazy. Even Shade was probably sane before everyone around him died of dehydration.
Ah I see.
I believe in the original Borderlands, it's explained the the opening of one of that vaults (I think that's what it was) came with a kind of madness that infected those around it, driving them insane and often causing physical deformities (hence why there are so many midget and Badass psychos). I don't remember the explanation exactly, but it was something like that.
This. They were all convicts used as cheap labour by the Dahl Corporation. When they came across alien technology, they started to mutate and go crazy (which is why there are midget psychos and giant psychos).
They're obsessed with the Vault which is why they have Vault tattoos and the Vault symbol on their masks.
I have a theory that something about Pandora drives the natives to madness...either a Vault that has yet to be found, or something about the radios....sometimes they play this weird haunting music in Borderlands 2.
From the Borderland's Wiki:
tl;dr they were a large group of convicts, who after a vault-related discovery, went crazy and physically mutated.
I. WILL HIT YOU.
