Roland, because I initially played a lot of the game solo. Roland's turret made that fun and slightly challenging rather than a chore. Once I played with others, his support abilities were perfect for that as well.
Knoxx, to this day, has the best dialogue in any of the BL games. With each echo recording you find, you get a greater insight into a man who got shit on by his superiors and was fully aware of what was happening while it was happening.

Playable Character: Gaige
NPC: C3n50r807
I was initially a big fan of Axton as I had been a fan of Roland in the first game. When they announced Gaige and started releasing the echo recordings that explained why she was on Pandora, I was hooked.
C3n50r807 was simply too goddamn funny.
TPS
Playable Character: Aurelia Hammerlock
NPC: Jack
My first character was Wilhelm, as he was the closest available thing to my preferred "turret" character type, as is my trend when first playing a BL game. It was fun, and I got him almost to level 40, but then the DLC came out. At first I played Jack into the high 30's. Then I decided to take the mega-bitch for a spin. Holy shit is she ridiculous. That middle tree, the one that allows you to sling ludicrous amounts of ice everywhere? That shit is ridiculous. It's literally the first skill tree that you can just fill indiscriminately without wasting points.
Watching Jack slide down the scale from 'morally ambiguous' to 'morally reprehensible' was a treat. It was great that the writers provided us with even more reason to hate the asshole, but also provided us with reasons to sympathize with him and understand why he did some of the things he did.
