    I feel so bad for claptrap because if you play as him when beating the dlc and jack decides to kill all claptraps he says "bu...but I saved you all...." like he didnt even want much, just them to be nice to him for saving them and they kill him. everyone but Athena laughs at him after Jack shoots him.

    Something I’d like to see is an echo, or maybe even a side quest at some point, where Timothy uses his status as a Doppleganger to get a crap tonne of money, as he should easily be able to since he can fool a body scanner into thinking he’s Jack, and go around trying to make amends to people. He could even go and give enough money to Athena to let her live a quiet, peaceful life that she deserves. Cause in the Handsome Jackpot, he mentions how he tried to use his status to help people, but saw how the other Dopplegangers were treated. This way, he can finally help others, maybe even use the money to surgically change him back to his normal self

      As with Athena, there’s the way I mentioned where she settles down and lives a quiet life. But something I just thought of is that maybe Rhys can hire her as a sort of instructor for Atlas’s army. She’d train the new recruits to be able to handle themselves, while respecting Janey’s wish to not fight anymore. Obviously this would be a huge character development since she killed almost every single Atlas employee, but the irony is that she ends up willingly working for the company she hates, fully knowing that they’re not the same as what she grew up with.

      I think the story being very About Bad Family and leaning really hard into every character being either an obnoxious sociopath, an obnoxious sociopath trying to be loved, Regular Cool Person, completely psychologically broken murderer, Tina, or Daddy Issues really alienated people who wanted like. Sane shit. My obnoxious, schizophrenic ass loves it though 🤪

    Nisha and Wilhelm I can agree with how they were handled being a bad thing, I feel like that's how their story would end anyway, a VH killing them for one reason or the other, they don't seem like the sort of people who would betray Jack, even after his downfall.
    Auralia was done dirty, like damn, she was a bitchy character before, but a refined bitch, but BL3... Nah, just a straight up bitch, and it wasn't right.

      The Aurelia thing pisses me off to no end, She didnt even have to die. I don't think she really wanted to kill Hammerlock or even Wainwright because when she shot them right before you battle her she didn't aim for any vital spots on them. Shes a seasoned vault hunter so i'd like to think she can hit Headshots or Chest shots with ease. It was just a sibling rivalry thing.. it would've been so cool if after her fight we just put her in second wind then revive her and she just... goes away after admitting defeat possibly to return later

    Idea: What if some Handsome Jack is brought back because of Rhys and Timothy? Timothy doesn't want anything to do with the Crimson Raiders or Atlas, but one of the Atlas scientists uses his DNA and Rhys's old eye to bring back Jack. They don't have to mention what Rhys did with his eye (whether he kept it or destroyed it), but some scientist who is obsessed with Jack brought him back using Timothy. It could be either Timothy becomes a host for Jack or they make a Jack like android.

    It's a shame they did Aurelia so dirty. It's like they took a look at some cliffnotes and said "yeah, we can write this character". Like, goddamn, one of the sidequests in TPS has her explicitly saying she wouldn't cast her lot with the kind of obsessive nutjobs that the CoV and twins are, and another where she just avoids her brother but still helps him. And they retconned the whole storyline that was playing out during the arena DLC. Or maybe we'll be lucky and they'll retcon the retcon and bring everything back and just call BL3's Aurelia "a rogue body double taking advantage of the CoV".

Or she could even be bring back by Jakobs technology because they have the best biological research in the game.
