Borderlands 4 should reconsider certain returning characters’ roles in the franchise to give other unsung heroes more well-deserved time in the sun.
By now, the Borderlands franchise has amassed a long list of beloved characters, some of which have gotten more turns in the spotlight than others. Consequently, Borderlands 4 should consider changing a few character roles to give some of the unsung heroes their dues.
This could be a good opportunity to reintroduce some of the Vault Hunters from the Tales From the Borderlands games by giving them central roles in the mainline Borderlands games. Otherwise, making existing characters playable or bringing them out of their comfort zones in general could be a worthwhile change for the franchise. Recurring Borderlands Character Roles That Deserve a Change
This character is the topic of the majority of criticisms for Borderlands 3’s plot, and rightfully so. Ultimately, many players were upset that Ava’s character arc involved the sacrifice of another beloved character in Borderlands 3, yet this story never reached a climax by the end of the game. Ava’s character was further explored in the Director’s Cut DLC for Borderlands 3, but this was arguably too little and too late for players to change their minds about this character. Even though Borderlands 3 already set this character up to go through a major transition for the next game, Ava is ultimately due for some massive changes before her involvement in the franchise becomes properly appreciated by the community.
