[[spoiler:It's a GreaterScopeVillain as well as its actions heavily swayed the story in favor of the Crimson Raiders and the Calypso twins whenever it felt it was necessary. Without the interference of The Seer it's very probable that things would have gone very differently for everyone.]]

* AwesomeButImpractical: While their weapons have the upside of theoretically infinite ammo due to their use of energy instead of traditional cartridges and warheads, many of them are of dubious utility due to their slow recharge, limited capacity, dicey damage distribution, and (in the case of the Cannon and most of the Blasters) slow projectiles. Vault Hunters also move considerably slower while they're being used.

** By the time of ''The Pre-Sequel!'' and ''2'', they just produced Relics, with the other companies developing E-Tech weapons instead, based on Eridian hardware. However, the companies realized that the E-Tech weapons, save some exceptions, sucked, so by the time of ''3'' they were directly phased out.
