Deleted line(s) 74,75 (click to see context) :
* AcceptableTargets: In-universe, the bandits seem to be this, as even nice characters have no qualms about killing boatloads of them, and torturing them is often depicted as completely acceptable just because they're bandits. There are many instances across the franchise where the prospect of having to kill bandits is viewed at best as only in terms of the danger to the killer's life, as bandits [[ZergRush often make up their lack of individual strength with large amounts of people]] and are thus still capable of posing a serious threat, and at worst as just an inconvenience to the goal at hand since the life of said bandit is rarely something to think twice about. Even when bandits as a whole are taken more seriously on ''Borderlands 3'' on account of having formed the closest thing to an organized society they could make, as individuals they are still not taken seriously in the least bit.
** Bandits themselves also have their own acceptable target: midgets; they are looked down upon by all of them, and using them as human shields is acceptable, normal and widespread.

* PaintedCGI: The first game used black outlines and textures with penciled-in lines to give the game a stylized ComicBook-esque look, but the lighting and shading was done realistically. ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'', however, used a combination real-time filter and specially crafted textures to give the in-game world and characters the ComicBook-esque look, but had the lighting and shading exempted from the filter- this allows the characters to look comic book-esque, but keep lighting and shadows realistic, at the cost of high GPU load [[http://www.gamefront.com/how-to-improve-borderlands-2-with-ini-file-tweaks/]]. Gamers have found that turning off the filter (by tweaking the .ini file) reduced the comic book-esque effect to almost nonexistent, but it does make the game run smoother on lower end GPU hardware.

** Krieg moved to Pandora and started fighting against Hyperion after they twisted him into a raving lunatic mutant. He's looking for the Vault to follow Maya; he fell in love with her and thinks Maya will restore his sanity.
** Gaige is probably the straightest example in the series: she ran away to Pandora with her dad's help after killing her arch-enemy with her death robot during a high school science fair, hoping that the long arm of her rival's powerful family won't find her in Pandora.
** Moze moves to Pandora after being the sole survivor of a suicide mission, which is also the straw that breaks her back after long years of abuse from Vladof's command that was already digging into her sanity.

As the game has RPG elements, each title in the series has (at least) four player classes, each with an active skill and (at least) three skill trees to sink points into. The dusty, desert "AfterTheEnd" setting allows the RealIsBrown level design to contrast with the brightly-colored loot and absolute ''bonanza'' of item boxes placed throughout the world; the art style is stylized somewhere between "ComicBooks," "Storyboards" and "CelShading," often with visible cross-hatching lines deliberately drawn into the world. It's also used to justify the fact that Pandora's [[PlanetOfHats Hat]] is "Balls-to-the-wall AxCrazy," which is absolutely PlayedForLaughs (see above re: funny, irreverent writing). Finally, it's the TropeCodifier for the "LooterShooter" genre: The first game's TagLine of "87 bazillion guns" is an exaggeration, but not much of one. The first game's loot engine was estimated at being able to produce some ''eighteen million'' unique combinations, and it's only gotten [[PerfectlyCromulentWord bazilliondier]] since then.
