Added DiffLines:

** The final prophecy scroll you get in the main game has Tina mention a seat at her tea table being “reserved” and showing a bit of panic when “The Notetaker” almost sit in it. This is likely a CallBack to ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'', and the “reserved” seat is probably for the bandit Flesh-Stick who sold her parents and her to Hyperion.

Added DiffLines:

** The Featured Runs for the Chaos Chamber always contain all 3 [[BonusBoss bonus bosses]] and therefore lets you fight [[spoiler:The Maker]], which mitigates some RNG where Normal Runs may not have all 3.

** All lootables will now open with a melee attack. This helps in case you're surrounded by enemies. In addition, melee attacks can hit multiple lootables at once.

The game is a {{spinoff}} set in the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' universe starring Tiny Tina, Pandora's deadliest 13-year old, while she plays a session of ''[[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Bunkers & Badasses]]'' alongside two fellows (Valentine and Frette) and the player. In typical ''Borderlands'' fashion, the game itself is a LooterShooter where players select a class, each of which has two Action Skills and several class-specific perks, and set to adventure in the fictitious Wonderlands. Weapons and other items fall from dead enemies, and the players rack up XP, increase levels. Six classes are available in the base game: the Stabbomancer, the Brrzerker, the Clawbringer, the Spellshot, the Graveborne, and the Spore Warden.

* AbsurdlyLowLevelCap: With a cap of 40, it's definitely the smallest cap seen in any ''Borderlands'' game (even the original capped at 50 at launch). This is likely because you only have two skill trees this time. It's entirely possible to hit the cap before the end of the first playthrough if you do a good amount of side quests. Of course, it's possible they'll raise the cap in the future, like in the rest of the series.

On the other hand, chaos levels (the equivalent to mayhem levels from ''Borderlands 3'') go up to 20 at launch, and presently have gone up to 35 as of this writing.

* AllForNothing: If you attempt to fight the [[BonusBoss bonus bosses]] in the Chaos Chambers instead of completing the run, but fail due to running out of lives, the run counts as failed and you will not be able to spend what Chaos Crystals you've already collected.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Antepiece}}: The puzzles you need to do to unlock the [[BonusBoss bonus bosses]] in the Chaos Chambers are the same techniques you need to use against the corresponding boss.

Added DiffLines:

* BoringButPractical: The Spellshot's Ambihexterous Action Skill option causes the Fatemaker to disregard the Action Skill concept entirely, instead giving the option to equip and cast another spell. While the extra spell is much less flashy than Action Skills, having an extra spell has massive synergy with the other Spellshot skills and simplifies gearing significantly. Once the Spellshot obtains Sever the Thread which allows ''both'' spells to reset up to every 5 seconds, the "boring" aspect becomes no longer applicable as you now have an extra spell to create chaos in short bursts.

* AutomaticCrossbows: Crossbows appear as an analog to the alien-barreled firearms of ''3''. They launch slower projectiles that do increasing amounts of damage with each bolt in a target.



* BlandNameProduct: InUniverse. The weapons manufacturers are renamed to fit the fantasy universe... except for [[Characters/BorderlandsTorgue Torgue]], which is still Torgue.

* FantasyGunControl: It wouldn't be a ''Borderlands'' game if this was in effect. That being said, melee weapons and crossbows appear to be more common than bog-standard firearms.

"It'd be worth a hefty sum if it was never fired"? Eh, whatever. Fire it, and... oh. The damage goes down by 90%, the sell price goes down to only a few thousand, and the red text changes to "What a pity."



* SchizoTech: The fact that there are guns in this otherwise high-fantasy setting, which Tina lampshades in the Gameplay reveal trailer.

* SchizoTech: While the setting is chiefly high-fantasy, the futuristic firearms of the ''Borderlands'' universe have been retained (albeit with some rebranding for any manufacturer not named Torgue). The fact crossbows also assume an obvious gun-like form (and are compound x-bows on top of that), the vendors work like they did in ''3'', [[spoiler:Torgue's Magic Missile spell takes the form of an ICBM (with a missile silo to boot)]], and Paladin Mike even attempts to provide the Fatemaker with some [=C4=] (which was hastily replaced with "FANTASY-4" after a complaint was leveled against Tina).

** [=SDUs=] for increasing ammo capacity in this game don't use a secondary currency, and instead they require a ''massive'' amount of Gold, with the final upgrades requiring multiple millions.


Added DiffLines:

* GlassCannon: The Spellshot has this as a skill, which prevents their Ward from automatically recharging in exchange for +30% Spell Damage. Notably, the lack of Ward recharge is the better feature of this talent as it allows the Fatemaker to use Wards that benefit from being depleted, notably Cursed Wit.

Turns out, she's called Bernadette]].

After you get it, she starts talking about how much she loved it, then Tina decides that this is too sad and makes it so the crab was just sleeping. From then on, the Coiled and her crab can be seen happily enjoying each other's company on the overworld.

Why would there be? The Tales characters don't interact with Tina at all, so no matter where Wonderlands takes place on the timeline it would make no difference.

No word on where ''Tales from the Borderlands'' fits in to the equation, though.
