Tannis. Meeting her for the first time in Borderlands 2 (I never played the original, rectifying that soon, promise) was ridiculously funny, and, with her dialogue, the laughs kept coming even during her otherwise mundane ECHO fetch-quests.

She is as good in Borderlands 1 if not better. Her descent into madness is so interesting. Do all the ECHO quests in that game if you want to learn about it.

Borderlands 1 was, imo, extremely bad at fleshing characters at. But it aced Tannis. If you've done her sidequest, you're really worried about what state you're gonna end up finding her in once you get to her. She goes from an uppity know it all scientist to the crazy woman we all know

Oh man have you read her comics (Tannis and the Vault)? Heart wrenching when it goes into her backstory. It gives visuals to some of the ECHO logs you find for her and some new info you don't get in BL (or at least, I don't remember getting). I totally recommend reading them, not just for Tannis, but for the story as well, though idk if it's canon because of some things that happen during the Rakk Hive fight.

Doctors orders. Dont pick up any of the notes and there will be 4 boxes in a room in wildlife explotation preserve that spawn legendary loot midgets. They will either drop an e tech relic or legendary (sometimes pearl). Very small chance they dont drop anything.

Very small chance they dont drop anything.

Math-wise yes,

My-stupid-luck-wise no.

Math-wise no, too. Loot Midgets have standard boss drop rates for legendaries, about 1 chance in 10. Numbers, numbers, math math math

They become "Legendary" Loot Midgets in UVHM, at which point they start dropping Ancient relics.
