TORGUE IS A ANGRY MARINE.

Added DiffLines:

** What if Torgue was actually a front for an Angry Marine Scout Sergeant, sent to Pandora to scour for the next batch of initiates for the Chapter? Certainly would explain his attitude and his desire to swear at everything.

'"The Goliath"'. Pretty obvious, you play as a Goliath. Wears a vision obstructing helmet that restricts your HUD, and your action skill is to remove the helmet. With the helmet removed you can only use your fists, and killing enemies increases the amount of time you can spend making face gravy. Killing enemies also allows you to level up into stronger forms, like the regular Goliath enemies. Your skill trees are How R U, Welcome 2 Die, and Why So Much Hurt?! How R U focuses on improving your abilities while rampaging, such as gaining more experience and being able to spend more time rampaging. It's top tier skill is Unlucky Shot, which causes enemy scored head shots on you to knock off your helmet, instantly sending you rampaging even if the skill hasn't cooled off. Welcome 2 Die focuses on More Gun More Shooty Bang Bang More Pain! It includes thing such as Mor Gun Food!, which decreases movement speed while firing but increases magazine capacity. Why So Much Hurt?! skills focuse on keeping you alive, such as Make Face-Gravy, which give you health for headshots or other critical hits, or Shooty Make Power, which increases shield recharge while firing. And all of your skills are in Hulk speak. Your melee weapon is a sledge hammer, and your class mod is your belt buckle.

[[WMG: The Fourth DLC was a joint promotional stunt by Maliwan and Torgue.]]
Most of the special weapons that can be found in Tiny Tina's Assault On Dragon Keep are either Maliwan or Torgue (Spell Grenades, The Crit, The Swordsplosion and The Ogre). This isn't implying the game never happened, it just implies that literally everything is either a digistructed prop or actually there in the case of Butt Stallion. Maybe Mister Torgue was so inspired by the game that he called up a representative at Maliwan to help make it real.

* Or, perhaps, they've just gone through character growth. Roland has grown into his role as a leader, becoming calmer and more responsible. Between games, Mordecai had a bad relationship with Moxxi, who was pretty much an emotional vampire to him and left him a shell of himself. Lilith has had a legend grow up around her, complete with more than one cargo cult in her honor. That can go to someone's head. Brick...is Brick.

* '''The Rogue''': A former secret agent who's a combination of Triple X and Sean Connery's version of JamesBond, his special ability is a grappling hook type device that he can use to latch onto enemies to reel them in for closer kills or even steal items their loot right off of them. The skill tree for the ability allows the grappling hook to inflict more damage, add elemental damage, and higher chance of stealing loot, and the second involve increasing the Rogue's proficiency in various gun types, and the third involve increasing his regular stats as well as increasing money drops and the probability of gaining rare items from fallen enemies and chests.

** ChaoticNeutral: Maliwan, Like Dahl and Tediore, Maliwan objective #1 is make a shiny penny, however they have the ''least'' inhibitions over using extremely painful elemental torture to do so, build weapons that are haphazardly designed, and a slight degree of comedic sociopathy in claiming setting people on fire is better than a clean death.

* I'd have to disagree, here's a different View.
** LawfulGood: Jakobs is the only group to outright back the Vault hunter against Jack, has strong family values, and most Jakobs gear tend towards "Peace and order" Imagery.
** NeutralGood: I agree with you here.
** ChaoticGood: Torgue, they make weapons designed to be Awesome, unashamedly promote the Vault hunter, both Mr. Torgue and Anton Smith are decent men.
** LawfulNeutral: Dahl seems more focused on profit, with outright Evil types like Harchek are less common than Tannis or Booth. Overall the company focuses on Profit, without the level of manipulative greed of Vladof, power-hungry nature of Hyperion or the sheer insanity of Atlas and Bandit.
** TrueNeutral: Tediore, makes cheap pieces of crap en masse to sell to the masses, with little to no oversight or attempt to keep their customers safe, hence their guns explode when reloaded. Tediore isn't as orderly as Dahl and it's highly efficent weapons and company actions, but lack Maliwan's showboating insanity.

** LawfulEvil: Hyperion, for reasons obivous.
** NeutralEvil: Vladof, Violent, hypocritical, selfish, and with items that milk the player for money such as grenades that look great on paper but don't work against moving targets, ammo dumping weapons, and shields that make you want to get shot, leading to inviteable purchase of hp boosters at Dr. Zeds or a New-u. They're also slightly hinting towards having School[=/=]Workplace mass murderers as a target Audience given their Sales Pitch.
** ChaoticEvil: Bandit and Atlas.

** All but explicitly confirmed in the Wedding Day Massacre DLC - when Moxxi asks Krieg if he ever had a missus Vault Hunter in his life, he simply rants about "THE TINY ONE AND THE SAD-FACED MOTHER AND THE BLUE TATTOO." While 'the blue tattoo' is a pretty clear reference to Maya, there are precious few other people whom "the tiny one and the sad-faced mother" could be referring to.

[[WMG: Explosions are related to the letter "T"]]
Lets take a list here, Explosive firing guns are made by the '''T'''orque manufacturer, which was founded by Mr. '''T'''orque, and the only non-TooAwesomeTouse rocket weapon (which they make) is the '''T'''orpedo, at the same time, the guns made by '''T'''ediore expplode when '''T'''hrown and Roland sends you to '''T'''iny '''T'''ina to hijack a '''T'''rain using explosives.

*** Gaige's choice of manufacturer depends heavily on what build she's going. Anarchy!Gaige would definitely prefer Hyperion or Tediore weaponry, while a Little Big Trouble!Gaige would go with Maliwan.

* A ''Bombzerker'' The first "Zerker" Focused on melee attacks, the second on guns, the third should focus on the ''third'' way of making things not live. BOMBS! LOTSA BOMB! A tree that focuses on never running out of grenades, getting one every time you kill someone, increasing how many grenades you pick up per grenade pickup, and increasing grenade regeneration during bombzerking, as well as upgrades like making all grenades home in, throw up to 3 in a bundle while bombzerking and overall GrenadeSpam, adding elements to the grenade, and being an unkillable bastard. Bombzerk will let him regenerate grenades, throw them faster, and double explosive radius. He's a bit of a [[MagikarpPower Magikarp]] with low grenade count at first, but can flat out level entire boss fights with unending grenade spam.

The refined eridium you get when you kill critters isn't the refined stuff Jack made; it's a byproduct of the animals themselves. Just like how they can organize bullets and weapons in their gullets; skags eat eridium chucks; they probably die; then other Pandora wildlife eat those bodies; and eventually Eridium is produced.
