20 minutes of Claptrap telling the same joke over and over again from Poker Night 2. While Fiona and Rhys dance to dubstep in the background
Woops I read that as directed. Meh my point still stands.

Probably tons more references and crazily diverse characters. Both things that are okay, but I think he overdoes it, then again its prolly not just Anthony making the decisions, but whenever I see someone say Anthony Burch, I feel they mean: "The BL2 writing team."

To be honest, Telltale's series is going to make Anthony gain another spot on the unemployment line. If only Telltale would write the next Broderlands game. Also, I didn't notice that Claptrap was absent until you mentioned it.
It's funny you say that, because Burch actually hates Claptrap (and freely admits it). The character was introduced in the first Borderlands (which he had nothing to do with, he only came on board for BL2). I believe that the main reason the character stayed in the series was because it's voiced by a member of Gearbox's staff. Then it kind of took off in the fandom (though most have a love-hate relationship with it).

Characters would go out of their way to point out how things are 'misogynistic'.
"Shouting" humour would be a lot more prevalent.
Okay, I over exaggerate a little. I like most of the writing in Borderlands 2, but the Social Justice Warrior attitude keeps leaking into the game from reality, and it's seriously immersion breaking at times.
I'd actually be genuinely curious to see what Burch could do with a more plot-centric game (like Tales). He's undeniably limited within Gearbox's Borderland's universe - it's a shoot 'n loot first and foremost, with not a lot of room for constructing narrative. Basically, the story will always take a backseat to gameplay.
I've always admired his characterisation, but once again that's within the limitations of an FPS. I think people would be surprised to see that he can go beyond the silly referential jokes and create complex, dynamic characters that you actually care about - he'll just never have the opportunity at Gearbox.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore what Telltale have done with the universe - I just think that comparing the two writing styles is redundant.

No one would be straight.

And that'd work for a fast paced FPS like Borderlands, but with a TellTale game it'd be... Jarring, to say the least.

So he's the reason poor clappy is always treated like sh*t poor guy
There really isn't that many gay characters.
Well, technically the writers on BL1 set that precedent, but Anthony certainly didn't go out of his way to make things better for him!
Well he did kill off his kind lol
