Honestly the combat in these types of games doesn't really appeal to me, so the fact it's watered down is ok with me. I'm good with chasing down the story, as long as it's well written, engaging, and not grindy.
I'm kinda rotating through a few different games right now, but as I get along in it I'll share my thoughts.
I never did finish Borderlands, I should jump back in and give that one another go too someday.
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”
-Robert Heinlein
