Borderlands 3 Director Says More Characters Aren't Coming

So sad

I really like DLC characters on Borderlands

Fl4k is the only character I like the look of so this is disappointing news if I get bored of him.

Seriously?

Feels bad for the people that bought this pile of shit. BL1-2 were so enjoyable with the characters, characters!. Not 4

Makes sense, actually creating new content is effort. Modern gaming doesn't do effort, which is why microtransactions exist.

So wait, they are blaming players and not their horrible DLC character options? At least give us older characters like Zero to play as. If everyone stuck with a main, then carry over characters from BL1 and BL2... Why did I buy a season pass then? I thought it was supposed to be new levels and characters. Now I fear the new levels will be as short as the 'collect a fragment' missions that are only like 20 minutes long.

Gaige was my favourite character in BL2, And I only got into BL2VR after the recent release of all the dlc including Gaige.

I didn't feel any interest in the BL3 characters as they felt like BL2 wannabe characters so didn't bother buying the game, And it seems I won't be picking it up at a later date if they aren't gonna add extra characters.

Dunno what their data showed, but Krieg and Gaige are my 2nd and 3rd most played chars after Zer0, and I've played all 6 all the way through UVHM. The "play new char for 5 levels then back to main" bit sounds like it was just because those players were not done with their main yet when the new chars came out, so of course they switched back.

Well that's really disappointing. I beat BL2 on regular difficulty with EVERY character class, DLC included, true vault hunter with Gaige and Krieg, and ultimate vault hunter with Maya. Even though I found it too hard to beat the game on ultimate vault hunter with Gaige and Krieg solo, they were BY FAR my favorite character classes.

Well, that's pretty dumb. Looks like "data" has won again, so let's ignore all the fans asking for more characters to play. Well, it's their game and their profits anyway. Personally I don't see any dlc more worth spending money on than new playable classes. And I sure as hell don't play these games to only ever play one single class.

Maybe because in order to play as a new character, assuming you already played through Borderlands 2 and its DLC twice as your 'main' so that you could experience the game 'as it's meant to be played,' you would then have to go through a 3rd entire playthrough before you could experience it fully with a second character. I mean, if you play nothing other than Borderlands ever, I suppose that's okay. But it's asking a lot from players time-sink-wise over here in the real world. Phew. Okay, Borderlands True/Ultimate Vault Hunter vent done for the day. Sorry...

Eh? Gaige was really popular in Borderlands 2, and Double Jack was popular in TPS due to how crazy OP he was.

Ah, well. I don't really believe him anyway. DLC is practically more valuable than the core game and there is no way they're gonna let this potential obvious content slide.

Actually Gaige was my favorite on Borderlands 2. Pretty sure that's not the real reason because I've heard nothing but love for the DLC characters. We may not play through all the characters, but having a nice selection helps us find what we want to play as.

I agree with him, I will never get around to all 4 of these, I’ll play through and keep playing with maybe 2. Same with games like diablo, I only ever had maybe 3 maxed out classes for D2 and D3. Same with destiny. I don’t want more characters, I always just wanted more content, or further abilities for the current classes or characters.

I really don't agree or believe there answer to this is true it all and some sort of fancy cop out answer. I know a'lot of people return to games because they release a new class . hell i return to BL 2 for both the mechromancer / and kreig . I got the mecromancer to max level and beat kreig 2 play throughs . also I return to Wow / Diablo and many other games when they add a new class. BL 3 dosn't need a new class anytime soon . and it's fine they aren't working on one right now and they may never . but don't give us some BS answer.

My favorite character in BL2 ended up being the Mechromancer (Gaige), and a very close second with the Commando (Axton). That makes my most played character a DLC one. I finished BL3 recently with Fl4k, he's fun. But I really miss Gaige (and Axton, too). I think it's a mistake to not include at least one new DLC character. It would also be an opportunity to create a back-story DLC for a new character including new maps in relation to his (or her) story.

If anything, DLCs could at least expand on the current characters' skill trees even more over time. I'm pretty sure they'll increase the Level Cap at some point and if they do they could easily implement entirely new skills in each one of the three skill trees for each characters. I only hope that the DLCs for BL3 won't be just generic additions like 1 new map and that's it. It has to be substantial.
