Come to Australia / You might accidentally get killed

 So what happens when you complete everything in Borderlands 2? Well, you take a shot at the Pre-Sequel of course!

The Pre-Sequel is of interest to me: It was the final game by 2K Australia and as such, goes for an Australian setting. The music of the Vines features prominently in the opening cinematic and there's tones of Australian Accents and in jokes all around. Considering how much the Borderlands series indebted to the Mad Max movies, perhaps it is fitting that it would have an iteration built off of an Australian setting. 

The problem with this game being a prequel (as indicated by the title) is the same with any prequel: We know what's going to happen. So of the Vault Hunters available, it's difficult to choose between them due to knowing beforehand what fate awaits them in Borderlands 2. So I settled for the DLC character Aurelia because a) I knew next to nothing about her and b) sniper rifles and ice powers - what's not to like?

Which is ultimately a fancy way of saying she's the only selectable character that interested me. 


So here we go into the Pre-Sequel....
