-->'''Typhon:''' I know what's been goin' on out there. Troy and Tyreen, my kids, well... they became monsters. No other way to say it. And you're a Vault Hunter. You kill monsters. Simple as that.

* When the Vault Hunters see the memory of Maya, they are all saddened. Zane uncharacteristically is softspoken, Moze's voice quivers when she sees her,[=FL4k=] only solemnly utters her name, but Amara's is the saddest of all: she plaintively says "Sister..." For Amara, she felt a deeper connection to Maya than the others despite knowing her just as long due to both of them being sirens.

* In one side mission, Sane Krieg tries blowing himself up in front of the player, though his efforts are useless…so he keeps trying (until the player slaps him)
** He admits he’ll never get better and has a lot of self-loathing for his own existence and it’s only when the vault hunters give him meaningful advice that he begins to self-reflect.

** She breaks down completely when it appears that Deathtrap has been destroyed, sobbing that he is all she has left. Luckily it was only a DisneyDeath, but it does not negate the fact that Gaige has been cripplingly lonely and isolated for a long time.

* In Timothy's hideout, there's a list reminding him that he's nothing like Jack, that he's more than a mask. Considering that some of his fellow doppelgangers died because of Jack's face despite their goodwill and being spliced with Jack's DNA has him thinking about strangling kittens, one must wonder how often he has to look at that list.

* The side mission Heart of Gold, where you help a Loader Bot named Joy set up a picnic. It would be heartwarming, but he admits that he is defective and that his power core was running out of juice. This picnic was on his bucket list. Then he literally pours money out of his heart as thanks. Why doesn't nice things last in Borderlands?

** What makes the mission more impactful are how the Vault Hunters act nothing but sweet towards him and happily fulfill his requests. And they don't utter a word once after the reveal or after he dies. [[HeartbrokenBadass It's safe to say they were all rendered speechless.]]
*** [[FridgeHorror It's probably even worse]] if you're playing as [=FL4K=], who is the only other Vault Hunter in ''Borderlands'' history to be a robot. Given that they're incredibly old and intelligent, it's very likely they're aware of the threats robots can face - random glitches, software errors, the works. So when they come across Joy and then see his demise from a power core running out of energy... their silence may not just be from sorrow. It could be also terror at the fact that one day, they themselves may suffer a similar fate. Even though they know Ellie on Sanctuary, who may be able to fix them up if they break, it's still likely a terrifying eventuality they'll have to deal with.

* When Timothy is betrayed by one of the heist crew and sent to Pretty Boy, Moxxi continues with the heist, ignoring whenever Timothy is tortured over the Echo. You'd think she only has her eyes on Jack's casino, but when the casino threatens to fall into a black hole, she doesn't want to abandon Timothy or lose another person to Jack's posthumous machinations.[[note]] She broke down on hearing Roland being killed by Jack and then losing her son Scooter in a mission that came about as a result of Jack's legacy on Hyperion.[[/note]]
