18. Tiny Tina's Assualt on Dragons Keep - DLC

This is the fourth and final part of the season pass (more DLC may or may not come but if it does, everyone pays) and by far the best of the lot. This is almost a new game... But not at all. There is some re-use of things (pirate chests stick out the most) but sooo much is brand spanking new. The biggest change is the setting... The DLC takes place in a game within the game... But somehow you can just travel in and out with items... If they address how that is working, I missed it, it just seems to... Whatever, I get new loot

The game is Bunkers and Badasses, and badassess it is... They are everywhere. This is one big fight after another, all the way through. The setting changes completely to a fantasy one and they do it well. The writing is also amazing with some great jabs at gaming. One of the missions has you go to kill a big bad monster but when you get there, there are three other 'players' waiting for the monster to spawn and you have to grief them into leaving so you can get the kill for yourself... heh, thats awesome

I've put about 12 hours into it with one character (Gaige, level 53 on TVHM) and have just about completed all the side missions (like 2 left unless more come up) and am just about at the end. Some BIG new areas, all fantasy themed, including forrest, town, castle, mines... More I think

I can't wait to get my level 50 Grenade Axton in there to try out some of the new grenade mods... ach, but that character build is something I should do a write up on, I love him.

Bottom line - If you have the season pass, you are getting this (or... already have it probably) but if you don't... This is the one to get if you only get one.
