Rock, Paper, Shotgun Interviews Randy Pitchford

Spongekvlt already posted this in the forums but in case you missed it, PC gaming blog Rock, Paper, Shotgun questioned Gearbox head Randy Pitchford.

One topic: character appearance customization. Like we already knew, armor won't affect looks, but you will be able to change your character's color and name.

...dressing-up your character stuff, we’ve backed off from that because you’re playing the game from the first-person. In WoW, I’m seeing my character all the time so it seems really relevant to affect your avatar on a constant basis. In Borderlands, it’s not that relevant. We do let you customise the colour and the name, so there’ll be four Bricks in one game and you’ll be able to tell them apart. It’s a smart trade-off – it allows the investment of that stuff to be towards the visible action. I think when you play it you’ll see the values there.
