I can’t be the only one who thinks it’s a bit telling and/or weird that there’s never been an actual full-on redemption/atonement arc in Borderlands. You’d expect such a long runner to have one, but no, apparently not.
I know that Bounty of Blood has Juno going through a redemption but that’s not what I mean here. By the time the Vault Hunters arrive on Gehenna, Juno’s already practically halfway through her redemption, she just has to prove herself. Any other villain gets no such chance.
Think about it. There’s been multiple times where a “friendly” NPC turns evil and becomes a boss you have to fight. Freddie, Aurelia, the list goes on. Meanwhile the reverse happens never.
The player is never allowed to forgive, the enemy is never allowed to feel remorse or atone.
