well.... cryo elemental
well.... cryo elemental sounds awesom
1. character custimization... yes, but limited, so we still have mordicai, brick, etc. but they look.... just a tad different
2. new world... no, the way they did it was fantastic, mabey just parts of a jungle or ice place in it.... i wouldnt mind an ice cave
3. vehicle custimization, not realy, i never realy used it except to get around, so to have custimization would seem pointless
4. everrything else... yes
my biggest problem was the characters never actualy talking to people. only when they do sertain things like kill somtin or open a chest, to make a character better and more unforgetable, u should at least make them talk
more.... team stratagy of some sort... when i first pictured borderlands like an rpg teamwork thing i pictured the 4 working together to infiltrate a very big bulilding, kinda like a castle, but it just wasnt realy like that, you could just run in there and shoot everything.... i want people to be able to think about things
i want a small weapon custimization... not things like strength, like a scope, scilencer, etc. things that wouldnt affect it to much, just add things like stealth....
MAKE THE ENEMYS LIKE REAL PEOPLE! if im sniping, there probalby not going to know my exact location if i get 1 shot. and if im far enof, and im sniping, they see the body, and there all.... oh, he just got his head shot off, nothing strange about that, theres NO1 out to get us!!!!
WTF!
but i love it, i realy do, but if they can just add and change some of those things.... that would rule

You mention having the
To: omega gama0
You mention having the characters talk as a way to make them more memorable, I don't think this is necessarily true. Take a look at the Zelda series, Link never talks (ok, except those two words in Wind Waker) you don't even get dialogue options, yet he remains an iconic and memorable character due to his actions and the degree to which you associate with him.
The reason the characters are "forgettable" is due to the fact that the story is not very engaging and that there are multiple main characters who all follow the same story with no variation. They have no backstory and no real development. They give you no real reason to remember them, so having them talk isn't the best choice to make them memorable.

1. yes
2.we all want
1. yes
2.we all want that
3.yes, maybe more civilized cites instead of people who say go away
4.yes, for god sakes yes, probably the most wanted thing in the game, also its obvius they dont all live their, how bout some space ships to travel to different plants like in metroid prime 3?
5. meh
6.yes, maybe some missions where people help u fight, like say tannis of dr.zed came and helped u kill a horde of skags
7.yes totaly
8. yes, how bout u pick from some different skill trees
9. forgot wat cryo was, isnt it like ice? and how bout combining elemnts like snipers with explosive poisen so it makes splahs dmg of poisen
10. yes like the zelda games
11. this would help alot like in fighting bosses liek sledge, it took forever since he has to much health, and before the fight the angel says "youll have to take down his sheild before you can kill him" making it sound like he has a huge shield and low hp when in reality its the opposite
12. yes, maybe different bandit clans where they fight each other, along with missions where u have to kill 2 enemy team fighting each othere so u get to snipe them while they fight
basicly, i agree with all of your ideas fully, im not saying they need them all but it would be nice
so let me first start off by saying that borderlands was hands down my favorite game of 2009. But i noticed that some of the features of the game that grabbed my attenetion were not all they cracked up to be. So, here are my improvements:
1)new world: Pandora is awesome but the vault has already been found (sigh). The desert is great but maybe a jungle world or icy world would be better. there could maybe even be a world like earth that has many different environments (which does exist to a certain degree on pandora).
2)more character customization: We should be able to design exactly what our character looks like. (and hey, maybe we could even find a few million more articles of clothing while exploring). Also, maybe each class could have more skill trees and we would have to choose which ones we would have the option to pursue in the beginning of the game.
3) more cities: the urban areas of Pandora were lacking. Now i know that pandora was not very developed and all but still, the only real city was new haven. Also, if there were to be maybe 4 or 5 cities, there would have to be a way to make each one distict. Different building styles and different cultures could be a way of doing this. Another way to make each city unique is location, some could be in the jungle, others could be built into a cliff who knows?
4)vehicles vehicles vehicles: no matter what the vehicles of borderlands 2 should be able to be upgraded. we know first hand that gearboz is entirely capable of making at least 10 million vehicles parts scattered about for us players to drool over. but how vehicles could be upgraded can vary. Maybe each player has just one vehicle. one basic vehicle. and the parts can change how it looks and functions DRASTICALLY. or, maybe there are 10 vehicles, each has its own unique style and functions, and all of the parts change more of the fine tuning. flying vehicles anyone? boats anyone?
5)better story telling: note this does not mean a better story, just that it should be told better. Also, missions should be nonlinear. for example, in borderlands u should be able to choose which part of the vault key u wanted to go after first. Now this also means missions that are extremely varies so udont just do the ssame thing every time (kill a guy, get a piece. kill a guy get a piece. ect ect)
6: varied missions: there are vehicles in borderlands and they should be used more frequently. for instance, maybe to get one of the vault pieces, instead of having to kill a guy to get it, u had to beat him in a SCREAMING METAL DEATH RACE MWAHAHAHA (but then u would have to kill him anyway). there should be more missions where vehicles are essential like the highway missions in the secret armory. Also maybe there would be some missions where u have to defent areas from waves of enemies instead of blow them up
7: Character specific quests: Randy pitchford boasted that each vault hunter was on pandora for a reason. lillith was one of 6 sirens in the gaaxy or something like that and roland was a mercenary hunting some guy down or whatever but none of that was really explored. The characters were never developed.
8: more active skills: each class should have more skills. dont get mewrong, i dont want an overwhelming amount of skills per class but maybe 3 or 4. enough that each one could have its own button.
9: more elemental effects: cryo?
10: more exploration: Pandora was huge. but every nook and cranny of the world was quest related. What i mean is that if you did every side quest than u explored pandora to the fullest. There were no areaswhere players could just explore
11: research/ codex type thing: there are alot ofcreatures in borderlands that have specific weaknesses. but i dont know what they are haha. there should be either a research system that will help players kill hordes of enemies more effectively. if that doesnt work than maybe there could be a codex like that of mass effect that will help players know minor details about the game
12)varies enemies: in borderlands u have skags, rakk, sythid, spiderants, bandits, the cromson lance and all of the variations of them, but there should be more things to fight. WAY MORE
well thats it. I know i can be verywordy so thanks for reading. tell me what you think!
