I feel like if they wanted to emphasize the uniqueness, they should have made the blades and exoskeleton passively engaged so he's always kinda glowing.
I don't think the blades should always be glowing, but maybe just have the arms always be big like they are while using the ability instead of being much smaller like how they are in the shot of the 4 characters walking. It would make them easier to spot (because some people didn't even notice that he has them outside of his action skill) and it would break up his silhouette so he can be more easily identified. As it is, the exoskeleton arms outside of the action skill are not visible at all when the character is silhouetted which makes his design far less distinct
So when i saw our guy on the left and his swords dance that he did and his street clothes, all i could think was that they gave us a futuristic Aladin lol... and, that's what i call him now. Aladin 🤷♀️
If he does have the multiple action skills like in 3, maybe it will function similarly to Iron Bear where his ability is just the arms, but you can fit different things to the arms, like you can have 2 blades, 2 guns, or a gun and a blade
I believe we will get the best melee combat BL has seen yet. With all the new double jump, dash and grapple features, the new movement system should flow really nicely with a or possibly 2 dedicated vault hunters
Im *always* a siren main (and I think the new siren looks really slay) so im excited for more theories about her and reeeeeally wanna see her action skill(s)
@@Byrdman o7 will do- I'm hoping we get another character similar to aurelia personality-wise that's elegant and mean 🥰 I could see the new siren or maybe the character w the glowing blue eyes from the trailer fitting into that role
honestly think this guy might be ex maliwan his exo frame suit has common maliwan colours and the green parts of his jacket has a hexagon pattern which is also common on maliwan units
I just want to know who is going to be the "summoner" for lack of a better word, whether it be a turret like axton or roland, a companion like gaige or mordecai, or if it will be a passive ability like fl4k. That one will instantly be my favorite
There is a chance that's the Siren. I dig the Emily Swan theory, but... We already know 5 Siren powers. I'm guessing we won't be getting Phaseleech. There is only one power which we haven't seen in game yet. If we consider them canon, the "Borderlands: Tannis and the Vault" comic shows Asha, a Siren who can control any animal from any planet. It's been a long while since Fyrestone, so it's possible Asha died and BL4's VH was the one who inherited her powers. If the comics are canon, then that's the only possibility. But I have some reservations, even though Gearbox can handwave them. See, Comm. Steele was also a Siren back in BL1. Lilith already obviously had Phasewalk, Maya probably was born with Phaselock, we know Tyreen was born with Phaseleech, and by then Angel already had Phaseshift. Then if Asha is canon, then the only power left to be Steele's is Amara's Phasetrance. Even though AFAIK we don't know if Amara had her tattoos back then, I dunno, picturing Steele using Phasetrance just doesn't feel right.
That is not the extra set of arms on his back, that is a part of blade mechanism that he is holding with his real arms, like manipulators with blades on the end. To mention his prostetic or augmented legs - this all look more like frame of an exoskeleton that he need to wear just to move around.
Like I mentioned the vault hunters will likely have multiple action skills so he likely isn’t locked into just the blade stuff. You are correct for that part of the action skill, but likely there’s more.
i would love a breakdown of the VH in the context of the other ones too, in every game so far each VH fullfilled a few roles for gameplay, it would be great to think about this group of VH in that same way, like we saw the tank guys ation skill (atleast some of it) and it looked to be elemental focused, this makes me think we wont see that girl on the right be a maliwan ex soldier since that would mean two elemental focused characters. but i do agree with you about this character's action skill only being part of it, and in my opinion the skill we saw used was a specialization of his skill, since theres no way we are getting two melee VH
@@The-Garden-Library Gearbox needs to fulfill certain roles through the VHs, and having 4 action skills limits how many they can squeeze into the game. That used to be expanded through more VHs. Now Gearbox gives multiple action skills to each VH, considerably expanding the design space to create these fantasies. Having 4 VHs with 3 action skills is (almost) the same as having 12 VHs as part of the core roster. Amara, for example, can fulfill (almost) all roles Maya did, and many more. So it isn't impossible that Gearbox gives two VHs the option to go melee, since they have the design space to do so.
So many people have been saying “I can’t tell them apart” and this makes me worried that everyone needs eye exams 😂 Yes I agree his design is meh, but gameplay wise it’s pretty obvious who’s who.

I feel that. For all we know that actually could be a thing and we might not see it cause all we have is a more cinematic shot.

No @@josefstalin9678
I really like that idea that he has an extra set of arms that's going to be awesome
If he does I’m gonna be so excited!
Gunzerk 2.0 but cooler

It really is!

I think this Vault Hunter's name is My Main
Yup him as my main as soon as I seen him on the trailer. For bl1 was Mordecai, Bl2 was Axton, BlTPS was Wilhelm, finally Bl3 was Zane.
You just made the first dude sound super buster
He might be the operative
honestly think this guy might be ex maliwan his exo frame suit has common maliwan colours and the green parts of his jacket has a hexagon pattern which is also common on maliwan units
Didnt the hyperion enemies have these arms in bl2?
They had the builder guys yeah!
That could be excellent.
Imagine getting to Quad-Gunzerk
When you say blade dance, are you referring to destiny hunter blade dance? Cuase im all for an acrobatic blade dancer in bl4.
Honestly yeah lol, it’s what it reminds me of
@Byrdman supposedly we are getting a double jump and a air dash with the grapple hook. Combine that with sir spins a lot and think I'm in heaven. 😍
I feel like he's a relative of Zane
I wouldn’t say that BUT I would say gameplay wise he’s gonna be similar
I'm looking forward to exploring the skill trees and action abilities.

the siren is not a siren, she loose her tattoos throughout the trailer.
Not confirmed yet. Could have been just bad rendering. Could be true. We shall find out.
Ima call it now that his name is something like “Tether”

@SirZelean krieg wasnt apart of the original four
@@The-Garden-Library Yeah, and VHs back then didn't have 3 action skills each

all of them look like white bread just boring..
