Tkin, how do I shift the mission priority in Borderlands? I mean I have started the game again and am on level 8. I accepted 3 missions at this point Bone Head's Theft, T.K.'s Life And Limb & By The Seeds Of Your Pants. Now my problem is that the map is only showing me the direction to complete Bonehead's mission first. I can't switch to the other missions and am getting royally screwed by Bonehead. How do you boost your XP faster to level up? I mean I get a lot of critical hits, yet the levelling process is very slow, which I totally hate.

LOL.. It's absolutely possible to complete with any character class and type.

But the problem here is.. I played as a human warrior. So, i will not be able to help you with a mage. Krow should settle the things now.

Cold attacks are the first ones to upgrade. Make sure you are cold master before you upgrade any other spells. Be a warrior mage. Wynne is a healer mage and IMHO, she is good enough. And yeah, upgrade to spell might attack also.

One cool combo is Spell Might+Blizzard+Tempest. If you dunno these attacks, simply press P during the game to check all spells and talents. :)

All demons are MOST vulnerable to cold attacks.

For you a good clan should be:

You (Mage) + Wynne (healer mage) + Leliana (rogue excellent for scouting with stealth and traps, etc) + Sten (best warrior in game IMHO, Oghren and Alastair are lesser than him)
 
MAG Public Beta on PS3. Guys, this game is totally gonna blow away Halo 3 multiplayer or any other console multiplayer for that matter. The graphics are simply awesome and gameplay is really fast! Public Beta ends tonight. I ordered my copy and will probably have it by 28th.
@all PS3 owners, buy this title. Killzone 2 would seem like a joke in front of this beast. There is no lag at all during the online play which makes it even better.

If you've accepted the mission then you need to select the mission for the marker to show you that direction, I don't know about X360 but in pc you need to open the inventory, then click on the mission tab at top right(looks like a a cassette), in the mission menu select the mission that you wanna do and the marker will shift towards that objective.

DO NOT attempt to kill bone head before you're level 10 at least(level 11 should be ideal), his shield is very hard to take down.
Also look in the bounty board time to time(from which you got the mission to meet T.K Baha), they will give new missions later.

The only way to gain xp is by completing missions, you gain xp also by killing something or even blowing up barrels but mission completion rewards a lot of xp. The game will stay very hard until you reach new haven, after that it gets somewhat easy.

Also you can gain xp if you join a co-op game and your partner kills or completes a mission(for mission completion both players get full xp and for killing something the other players gain a fraction of the original xp)

I couldn't force the mission marker to point it in the right direction, hence headed into the Skag Gully manually and navigated the whole area. Then had to locate Scar and hunt him down. Found the seeds after that. During the course me and my brother fuelled up to level 10. Both of us have selected Beserker. So upgrading his melee has proved useful. Also got the Incendiary Sniper which should probably boost some XP as opposed to a normal sniper.

Yep. Learned that the hard way, both on the PC version and the 360 as well. Never attempt to screw any enemy with a level higher than yours. It's a pity we spent the entire evening trying to find a strategic approach to kill him, while being on level 8. Wasted lots of dough there, which could have been saved. I think Claptrap's bounty board is over for now. I'll have to check the bounty board near that vehicle spawning section, perhaps that might have some more.

I have noticed that that killing the bigger Skags (Alpha and Badass) gives a lot of XP. The larger the enemy, the larger the XP points.

There are no bounty boards near the vehicle spawn section, each region has only one bounty board, actually missions appear in bounty boards as soon as you complete some main quests, do bone-head and a bit later more missions will spawn on the bounty board in fyrestone(since only after killing bone-head you can spawn vehicles and some missions require a vehicle), so check it periodically, actually theres a lot of side missions that this bounty board will spawn, like collecting shock crystals, turning off some valves after fighting a hoard of enemies.

Here's the names of the missions that you'll get in arid badlands(no spoiler, just names): *borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Arid_Badlands_Missions

I'm on my second playthrough and this is tough, all enemies are stronger than what their levels suggest. And all badass are now called badmuthas(strong like hell).

Here's my two cents, if any weapon has a red text description like "Give Sick", "Pele demands a Sacrifice" etc then that weapon(or item) has some unique property(regardless of its moderate stats), so make sure to check it out before selling it, I lost a bunch of good weapons that way(stats look normal, I sold it and later found out the truth from my friend).

Gotcha. I usually just randomly pick up weapons without really checking the stats. But what kind of "unique property" should I be expecting?

Just Started Playing Resident Evil 5 from yesterday night :p

Completed the mission when chris and sheva have to kill hordes of zombies and after that a chopper aids them with a rocket launcher :p

On Fallout 3 :

Now talking a lot with those kids in lamplight :p - their speech is kinda rude :p Escorted sticky to big town but as Doc Red has already died I've not got those caps.

Anyway, Returned back to lamplight. Now I'm talking with all kids possible to gain entrance into vault 87 but that dumb head mayor won't let me in even after recuing all those kids. I don't still what he wants from me and I've got another side mission to bring some fungas to the boy in the food court but that dumb head mayor is not even wants to trade some of it. I've previously got those fungas by speech skill )\( though the chance was 19% ) but I lost some karma by this and was over weighted with those 10 fungas pieces. So loaded the game again from a save poit to get those fungas by working out something but it's not clear to me what the mayor wants exactly ??

The doc is not dead. She just got captured by Super Muties. You will get the Mission "Big Trouble in Big Town, talk to Poppy and he will give you the location where the doc is taken. Rescue her complete the quest and get your caps. There is also a unmarked quest there after you complete the quest.

Ethan also note the fact that weapons are given their ratings by their rarity. Purple=Super Rare, White=common, green=rare, orange=???(forgot). Check their color in the name of the weapon.

Lots of properties, depends on the text. A full list is here: *borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Special_Weapon_Effects

Since both of you are playing as Brick the problem you'll come across is ammo running out, specially in zombie island dlc(also in last region in the vanilla game), only the soldier(roland) can regenerate ammo with a special class mod, so try to look for weapons that regenerate ammo, they will usually have red text like "Hold your ground, forever", "Sometimes I just forget to reload", "I can do this all day" etc.

Theres a sniper rifle that says "Pele Demands a sacrifice", this rifle causes a massive fire blast when shot, kills any skags with 1 shot(the fire damage is higher than normal fire damage and is cumulative unlike other fire weapons) also kills badmutha skags(new name for badass in the 2nd playthrough) with 2-3 shots.

So just test them out(on enemies). I once tried to test the splash damage of a rocket launcher on myself that said "Monster kill" and died in 1 shot.

Here's two examples:

*img695.imageshack.us/img695/7453/hordex.jpg

Rocket warps through the space every few meters and drop several smaller rocket pods.

*img132.imageshack.us/img132/6355/crossqh.jpg

Causes massive blast, also pellets spread in cross like pattern.

Right now, in playthrough 2 I'm getting some serious weapons, all normal quest weapons are more powerful too, remember TK's wave(the one you got after killing scar), this time I got one that does 120x7 damage. So you'll get the best weapons only in the 2nd playthrough.

Here's the rarity list for weapons:
Level 1 = White, rarity = 0-4.
Level 2 = Green, rarity = 5-10.
Level 3 = Blue, rarity = 11-15.
Level 4 = Purple, rarity = 16-49.
Level 5 = Light Orange, rarity = 50-60. (very light orange, bit yellowish)
Level 6 = Orange, rarity = 61-65.(normal orange)
Level 7 = Dark Orange, rarity = 66-100. (bit darker, not noticeable until picked up and compared with other weapons in the inventory)

Also all weapons have a quality grade which decides the weapon's level requirements, max quality weapons have level requirements 48, the immediate next quality has requirements 40 so most good weapons will generate after level 38+.

Also better weapons generate if you play Co-op, I have one profile for single player(on playthrough 2) and one for Co-op(90% complete on first playthrough) and the Co-op profile has loads of orange and dark orange weapons and relatively better weapons than the single player profile.
