After discovering the town of Fyrestone, the Vault Hunters begin to receive psychic instructions from a mysterious lady known because the "Guardian Angel". The Vault Hunters meet a CL4P-TP or "Claptrap" robot and a doctor named Zed who help them set up a popularity by killing a number of bandit leaders, eventually resulting in the gathering of an alien artifact, being the first piece of a key wanted to open the Vault. This causes Patricia Tannis, Dahl's former archaeologist nonetheless in residence on the planet, to contact the Vault Hunters, revealing that the Vault can only be accessed as soon as each 200 years and that the time of the next opening is approaching. Tannis also explains that three extra artifacts are wanted to finish the Vault Key. Meanwhile, Commandant Steele of the Crimson Lance (a nicely-outfitted military pressure led by the Atlas Corporation) threatens to declare martial legislation and calls for the Vault Key pieces.

The Vault Hunters safe the second and third items by following Tannis' instructions, however the final piece, supposedly in the possession of a bandit lord named Baron Flynt, seems not to be the place it was anticipated.

The game ends with the satellite tv for pc sending a signal to a Claptrap robotic on the planet, altering it into an "Interplanetary Ninja Assassin" (continued in the plot of the DLC Claptrap's New Robot Revolution).

Development[edit]

Gearbox's Randy Pitchford stated that the concept of Borderlands was impressed each being an avid position-playing recreation (RPG) fan, including roguelikes resembling NetHack and action position-enjoying games like Ultima and Diablo, and being drawn into first-particular person shooters (FPS) that he worked on in his early career, including Duke Nukem 3D.[17] He acknowledged that the core gameplay loops for both genres are at different time scales; whereas the core loop for a job-enjoying game is lengthy in terms of leveling up characters, a shooter has a a lot shorter one in moving and taking pictures to clear out a new area. Pitchford felt these two loops were not mutually exclusive due to the completely different time scales, and believed some type of fusion could be made from the two genres, thus forming the basis of Borderlands.[17] Pitchford recognized this may very well be a risk, however went forward anyway: in a 2017 interview, Pitchford recounted that trade analyst Michael Pachter had believed Borderlands was going to be a failure, as players that will want to play a role-enjoying sport or a shooter would more than doubtless play a recreation devoted to that genre as an alternative of the hybrid. After the Borderlands collection had sold greater than 30 million copies, Pachter admitted to Pitchford that he had been mistaken.[17]

Gearbox did not have the narrative defined at the onset of improvement for Borderlands, but wanted to search out some reason to have the player really feel rewarded about killing enemies and gathering loot from them. As they developed the game additional, they came to the concept of casting the player as a "vault hunter", in order that looting equipment and other objects could be "form of virtuous". This led to the Pandora narrative, since the act of opening a vault or field to obtain doubtlessly disastrous outcomes was in comparison with the mythological Pandora's box.[17]

The game's growth started around 2005, internally pitched as "Halo meets Diablo".[18] The preliminary period concerned Pitchford promoting his group on the concept of the FPS-RPG hybrid, and ultimately determining that the FPS style could be the defining genre for the sport.[18] The game's art model was initially more practical, with visual concepts impressed partially by the Gears of War and Mass Effect series.[18] The crew expanded and prepared for releasing the sport's first public reveal in September 2007 via a Game Informer cowl story, with trailers to be shown in the following year's E3 and other recreation conventions, building atop a modified Unreal Engine 3.[18][9] Elements that had been planned at the time of that cover story but that did not make the ultimate recreation included procedurally generated "loot caves", and the ability to rent non-playable character mercenaries to help in fight. Further, the game initially had three Vault hunters; Brick had not been included yet, as Gearbox thought that it could be fascinating within the co-op to have two or extra gamers playing the identical characters but with persistent enhancements that the gamers had made to them.[19]

Internal groups, assembled to give Gearbox's tasks a critical evaluation, started cautioning the crew that at this stage, as they felt Borderlands was beginning to look a lot nearer to the then-latest Fallout 3 or Rage video games. The lifelike look, which gave much of the visuals a brown, muted colour palette, clashed with a few of the extra fantastical parts they'd included at that point, similar to extraordinary leap heights and the vehicle programs.[18] By this level, the sport was 75% complete and there was a target launch window they wanted to achieve, so scrapping main parts of the sport was not an option for the studio. In keeping with chief creative officer Brian Martel, they opted to attempt to find their "purple cow", some visual aspect that will make the game stand out and gain sales. Martel and a small group spent a while in secret to create prototype of the game using an art type similar to cel shading, fearing that if they had stated something to the other team members, there might have been discontentment among the many workers.[18] Pitchford would later acknowledge that this new style was not wholly authentic to Gearbox and was partially impressed by Ben Hibon's brief movie Codehunters.[20] Hibon has said that while he was contacted by Gearbox to probably work on artwork for Borderlands, nothing ever got here of the talks.[21] The type itself appears as cel-shaded comic guide artwork, however is rendered using a combination of hand-drawn textures with engine modifications to stipulate major options, creating the comic ebook appearance.[22]

When the brand new type was revealed to each Gearbox and 2K Games, nearly everybody was happy with it. However, the sport's original art director was so disillusioned with having her work discarded that she left the company and the video sport business all collectively.[18] The fashion was refined additional with the help of a comedian e-book artist.[18] Most of the remainder of the weather of the game, resembling the sort and variety of enemies, were stored as is; the skill bushes, initially stuffed with extra mundane abilities, were repopulated with applies impressed by magic techniques from RPGs, resembling healing bullets, embracing the more extreme aspects of the sport.[18] Other shortcuts were taken to finish the sport in a timely manner akin to reusing techniques from other Gearbox games, and adjusting the narrative and setting to simplify the tip product, akin to having Pandora's moon in a hard and fast location so they might create dramatic shadows for the various ranges.[18]

The change did nonetheless delay their initially planned launch in 2008 into 2009, with Gearbox exhibiting off the new model by May of that yr.[23][24]
