The scaling system in this game really fucking annoys me. There's no indication of how it works exactly, the sensible choice would of been for it to constantly scale to your level. But nope, unknown complex system it is.

Each area scales its enemies to whatever value above your level when you first set foot there as far as i can tell.

Complex system? Everything has a set level until you reach level 50 at which point everything is scaled to level 50, it's the only moment where scaling is used.

Yeah, the enemies in the Wildlife Preserve were a higher level than everything in Oppertunity was for me. How does that even work?
I remember doing the bunker quest and all the enemies were 3 levels above me, so I spent a long time levelling up 3 times only to come back and find them 3 levels below me.

I found this too, the level scaling in this game could be better.
Bunker is driving me insane, I want that space knight head, grrrrr.

Wait until it glitches out when you kill it, that is when it will really drive you insane.

I think the only reason this happened is because Jack has been killing them off for years, so they're like an endangered species.
How do you visually distinguish between a Vault Hunter and your run-of-the-mill badass anyway?

I always wondered this and came to the conclusion that vault hunters have the ability to become progressively stronger purely by killing people.

are vault hunters goliaths
That's possible, only they rage a bit too much
Whipped this up in a few minutes in Forza. Kudos to whoever designed the picture of Lilith! :v:

Wow I had no idea Forza can be so customizable. I thought it was just basic square circle shapes.

No, Goliaths are former vault hunters.

Slag experiments on former vault hunters by jack, which is why they are not in the first game.

Never. You've always been able to make custom paintjobs if you had the time and patience (and the skill/talent).

If you mean the NPCs in Sanctuary who praise and worship you, its a joke from the Cult Following mission. Lilith remarks that being someone's God to be worshiped isn't worth it after the Vault Hunters save the would-be sacrifices. The joke being the ones saved immediately worship the vault hunter for saving their lives.
If you mean the original vault hunters, then yes the whole Wilhelm thing was pretty dumb, though in retrospect Jack wanted him to die in order to have the vault hunters get the hacked power core.

So that automatically makes them a semi-fourth wall breaking reference to vault hunters? That's pretty poor logic. Following that train of thought Varkids must be mutant vault hunters too because they can also become stronger. Realistically Goliaths probably weren't intended to be thought about too much. The reason they can level up is because its a fun game mechanic. There's likely nothing more to it than that. If there was it would have been hinted at or full on explained within the game, especially considering that slag experimentation logs are collected in a side quest, a perfect place to explain something like that.

No, not even the guys who go "you saved me!"
Like, before you even enter Sanctuary, when Roland sends you to save that one soldier
"A Vault Hunter? Didn't know I warranted [I]that[/I] much of a rescue."
The hell's up with that?

4 Vault hunters opened up a vault which released an ancient alien guardian capable of destroying the galaxy. They killed it... Now think as to why vault hunters are so praised.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;38238789]Well, it's probably because Roland and his crew made a name for "vault hunters" so any "vault hunters" are considered to be heroes among the people of Pandora.[/QUOTE]
But they don't actually seem to be that rare. I mean, there are five generic NPC vault hunters in sanctuary alone. So that means sanctuary has at least ten.
[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;38238919]4 Vault hunters opened up a vault which released an ancient alien guardian capable of destroying the galaxy. They killed it... Now think as to why vault hunters are so praised.[/QUOTE]
...So, because four guys who were looking for the vault were tricked, stuck in a place with an ancient destroyer, and killed it
So therefore, anyone who wants to find the next vault after that is automatically a god-like hero?
That's like saying any archaeologist is a hero, because Indiana Jones was an archaeologist.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;38239064]Well if Indiana Jones was currently trying to save the Earth from the evil Hyperion Corporation who wants to enslave everything, they probably would be praised somewhat.
Because really, any vault hunter would have to be getting in the way of Jacks plan.[/QUOTE]
Well, like I said
Before the Vault Hunter was any threat to Jack at all
When they were just some random schmuck looking for the vault
"A Vault Hunter? Didn't know I warranted [I]that[/I] much of a rescue."

And then he promptly dies, meaning the new vault hunters [I]suck[/I] at rescues.
Mind you, the original vault hunters didn't even [I]try[/I] to save T.K Baha, so, it just goes to show...something.
