History NightmareFuel / Borderlands3

** Pretty Boy's exsanguinated and charred corpse. *shudders*

* The Ruiner hatching looks like a nuclear bomb going off, and unlike ''Videogame/{{Fallout}}'' it's portrayed as terrifying. The sky is blocked out with green clouds, fire and debris stream through the air, and when you call Juno you can hear everyone panicking in the background.

** Guns, Love and Tentacles goes further, revealing that Holloway's vendetta got so intense that Gaige was forced to leave the Raiders and spend the last seven years on the run and in hiding. Keep in mind, despite all his wealth and influence, Holloway is mid-tier at best compared to the other main corporations of the galaxy, and Gaige is a veteran Vault Hunter whose killed entire armies of bandits, monsters and Handsome freaking Jack. Just what the hell is Holloway capable of that it caused ''Gaige'' to spend the last seven years running for her life?!

* Tyreen has the power to leech energy from living beings, and plans to do this to multiple [[EldritchAbomination Vault Monsters]] to become super-powerful. The results of this on her followers are... [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D3eychAW0AERd4X.jpg not pretty]].

** The lower levels of the Facility turn the above point UpToEleven. It's very similar to the lower levels of [[VideoGame/Portal2 Apeture Science,]] and while there's nothing explicitly scary down there, [[NothingIsScarier you get the feeling there might be.]] It doesn't help that there's numerous cryptic hints (such as a fridge covered in blood with a trail of blood leading to a door, and a bizarrely mutated bandit with wings) that Jakobs did some ''seriously'' unethical things in there.

** As if that's not enough, when you defeat him the first time, he disappears... only for the Kriegs to appear and state that it's not over yet. True enough, the Psychoreaver returns, [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever only he's even more massive than before,]] [[UpToEleven making his previous form look like a pipsqueak.]] He still speaks, [[VoiceOfTheLegion but it's so deep and booming]] that it's near impossible to understand, and that's without all the other sound effects throughout the fight.

** On another note, in this game the Psychos have gained the quirk of yelling "FIND LEIBERMANN" at some points, usually upon death. The fact that the Psychoreaver also namedrops Leibermann does make you wonder... who is Leibermann? And why are they so significant that even [[AnthropomorphicPersonification the embodiment of a Psycho's rage and insanity]] knows the name?

** Who is Lieberman that even the Psychoreaver mutters his name?

* In the memory of Hyperion, some things might glitch out, leading you to find things that aren't there or structures suddenly appearing/disappearing whenever you get to close. In memory of Hyperion, their scientific research are so horrendous that the board of ''Unethical'' research [[EvenEvilHasStandards gave them three thumbs down]].

*** After defeating Dr. Benedict, the entrance to the level in the Psychoscape has a new addition: Benedict's bloody and mutilated corpse, strapped to his own operating table. Although it's fair to say [[AssholeVictim he had it coming.]]
