    just kicked off borderlands 3 over the weekend (it was a freebie on epic a while back).

    i can see where they were trying to take the series, but i think they need a “back-to-basics” moment; there were a few decisions that really detract from the ability to be immersed.

    (ux)the skill tree system has changed in a way that makes upgrading confusing to the point that i dont even use my special ability (it spawns a mech)

    (ui)there are multiple advertisements for DLC that are always on your minimap and block your view of POIs - they look like questgivers

    (bug)sometimes fast travel works and sometimes it doesnt (and sometimes it does but doesnt let you travel unless you close and reopen the map)

    these 3 issues make it really difficult to enjoy a gaming session without being reminded that i need to spend more money so this convoluted system wont be fixed.

    3 days in and i give it a meh 5/10; it seems like the budget was too big.
