I feel like they just completely missed on this. They tried to capture the cel-shaded style of the games but everything looks low-budget as a result. Pandora is a backwater, if you’re going to do it live action everything needs to look like it’s been sandblasted and sun-bleached for a decade and repurposed at least twice. Everything just seems too clean.

The dialogue is bad. Can’t really blame the actors for that, but I also struggle with all of them in their roles except Jack Black (I actually don’t mind that casting).

Also, unless this is set between 1 and 2, I’m not sure how Krieg and Tiny Tina ended up on an adventure with Roland and Lilith.

At this table you have:

-DM (OP)

-Player 1 (DM’s friend, inexperienced)

-Player 2 (P1’s gf, experienced)

-Player 3 (P1 and P2’s bf - it’s a polycule, experienced)

-Player 4 (P3’s sister)

RAW = “Rules As Written”

RAI = “Rules As Interpreted”

Sometimes there’s a difference between the way a rule is worded and the way it’s played at a table.

Critical fails/successes on skill checks would be house rules/homebrew, though.

Heck it doesn’t even have to be a “deal”. I’m sure at least a few entities (Archfey, maybe) would grant magic powers just to see what happens. Sort of like the Outsider in Dishonored.

Shepard-Commander?
