Fun fact: If you select Cl4P-TP in the Pre-Sequel the game will actually try to persuade you to not choose him when in actuality he's the most versatile player in the game.
@@acrab6527 Actually he's just as capable even on his own. For example, his skill "HIGH FIVES GUYS" can work in 3 ways, if a teammate high fives you, you don't get a high five and even enemies can give you high five. Regardless on how the skill is activated, it still grants you positive effects.
To my understanding, Sirens are sort of cosmically "chosen" superwomen. They can come from anywhere, and they're not generally known from birth...it's more something that "manifests" when they get to a certain age, or they can even become Sirens later in life. At one time there are always six Sirens in existence in the universe, and when one dies the "mantle" passes to another woman or girl somewhere out in the cosmos. They all have different abilities and powers pretty specific to themselves and their own personal flavor. Lilith can phase through reality in an intangible state, with explosive effects when popping out of the ethereal form. Maya has the "phaselock" ability, where she can summon bubbles of energy to lift and trap foes and in some cases move objects around. Amara has kind of a smattering of powers (BL3 expanded skill trees quite a bit and gave players a lot of special powers to choose from), but they generally revolve around the manifesting of that set of spectral arms to interact with enemies in different ways (straight up smashing, projecting waves of force forward, and a grab/lift similar to Maya's). There are other Sirens in the games as well, with different powers of their own. I won't go into them too much, but yeah...all of my main series BL1-3 first playthroughs were as the Siren character of the title, and they were ALL awesome. Every character has something fun to enjoy but I mean...come on, smokin' hot badass women covered in glowing tattoos who can wreak havoc with special reality-warping powers? It's hard to top that lol. Definitely my favorites of the player choices/NPCs. As to the Vault? Well, that's something that is kind of a mystery as the series starts. It's kind of a fairy tale in this area of space, some ancient place locked away for aeons, the contents of which could be pretty much whatever you dream them to be. It's like searching for the Fountain of Youth, it's mostly rumors and little clues found in corners of the universe...but the allure of it is still enough to capture the imaginations of people across all worlds, who come together to try to find it as Vault Hunters. Riches, weapons, power...the Vault is pretty much the dream for a lot of people. The actual nature of the Vault? Well, that's something our player characters have to find out for themselves. ;) Borderlands really was a fixation of mine for quite a while lol. I played the living HECK out of 1-3, though I never did try out the Pre-Sequel. They're all pretty great games, though they each have their ups and downs (the writing in BL3 is pretty notoriously bad, but the combat mechanics are all great and the pace of the gameplay/firefights is quick and intense). Great series all in all, one day I gotta go back and try out the Pre-Sequel.
Nyriad was the 7th siren, but since she died inside of the valt on Nekrotafeyo her siren power couldn't find a new host leading to the existence of a 7th siren being forgotten, untill Typhon Deleon and Leda found, opened and had some fun inside.
There are 6 or 7 siren powers passed down ( not sure if the 6th was locked Away or if there was a 7th and they got forgotten) but basically when one siren dies their powers Go to the new siren. We have seen 5 siren powers so far. Liliths, mayas (passed to Ava), amara, tannis, and tyreen ( inherited the power that was locked a Way in a vault). Also the vaults are usually prisons for ancient creatures locked away for their destructive power but also contain some riches but mostly they’re to keep the vault monsters locked up.
The Pre sequel today would be fun, at launch it had its issues mainly with one time boss fights and no way to go back and farm which was the worst thing they could’ve which is why tps got all that hate when it first launched But 2k Australia made that game so everyone has Australian accents which is funny because the joke with that was. Everyone on the moon spoke with an Australian accent It’s a great game now and I’d highly recommend Wilhelm or Athena, claptrap was nerfed a little too hard so playing him will be a little more difficult. Nisha is pretty easy and probably one of the best because she gets auto aim and crazy crit damage. Pretty braindead if you ask me but for sure fun Wilhelm, Athena, jack, auralia are all pretty fun characters to play
@@nagacha42 I was thinking that if I ever did do a run of TPS, Nisha looked like a lot of fun. I usually do cooperative playthroughs with my buddy, and we were thinking we might do a Nisha/Aurelia duo. We have stuff we're pouring ourselves into right now (finally got into Ark and we are HOPELESSLY lost in it lol), but eventually we'll probably play something else and maybe then we can give TPS a try finally. :D
@@nagacha42 Yeah I played Athena mostly in all of my playthroughs and I can vouche that she's really fun. Never really tried claptrap, I did intend to then apparently as you said he got nerfed and I lost any excitement because of that. Nisha IS pretty easy mode that I can agree with, get her dual Luck Cannons and she becomes a goddess of death.
@@77dris Same. Too old for it to be part of my childhood. But, I've got all the games on Steam and revisit them from time to time. Currently, playing through borderlands 2 again.
There's 4 more trailers that you can see for the DLC vault hunters that weren't shown in the original intros. We've got Gaige the Mechromancer, Krieg the Psycho, Aurelia the Baroness and Jack the Doppelganger.
@@Spiran_SphereHunter sorry for wrong word "beside", I mean "among the said above". Krieg the Psycho reveal trailer (together with Gaige and Jack trailers) is simply trailer, not a mini-movie as "bicycle". ua-cam.com/video/ko2X_YzXwNQ/v-deo.html Bur Aurelia trailer also show us some story - very short episode but story, nоt disjoint set of fragments.
To be honest, I never was a typical "Shooter" Guy, more like a RPG / Adventure Guy. But playing Borderlands 1 made me fell in love with the series at almost an instant. They have incredible dialog and a nice kind of humor, which sets them apart from other Shooter-Games^^
'Vaults' in borderlands are super ancient prisons and treasure troves built by a long dead race of hyper intelligent aliens called 'The Eridians'. They were used to hide treasures and seal away dangerous monsters (that doubles as gaurdians of the treasures within). 'Vault-Hunters' are people who are seeking to open a vaults and claim the treasures hidden in the vault--which is typically massive amounts of weapons and money. In universe they are considered some of the most dangerous and insane people you can mess with due to how difficult the task of finding and opening a vault is. The 'Children of the Vault' is a cult that gets started between borderlands two and three while the crimson raiders (A group of volunteers and vault hunters from 1&2 dedicated to protecting pandora) were recovering from the events of the second game. The cult is lead by the 'twin-gods', sirens Tyreen and Troy Calypso (Troy is the only one to break the rule that sirens are female, because he and Tyreen were conjoined at birth). They have the most dangerous of the six siren abilites (Each siren has different powers), and believe that its their birthright to open 'the great vault'--they're basically internet streamers with god complexes, who were so charismatic that they were able to start a cult in their name. Others have already mentioned the rule that there can only be six sirens in the universe, something thats revealed over the course of BL2. What isn't mentioned is that the reason why there is a siren in every game, save for the Pre-Sequel (since you aren't playing vault-hunters (technically) in that game), is because Sirens are naturally drawn to Pandora. The reasoning isn't entirely clear in universe, some suspect its due to the planets massive stores of eridium (An incredibly dangerous and unstable purple stone) which fuels a sirens power, others say its due to the high amount of vaults that dot Pandora's surface, others suspect its where the siren powers come from and this is them 'returning home' so to speak.
interesting thing about the pre-sequel: it plays between borderlands 1 and 2. in borderlands 2 you meet some of the presequel chars... as enemies u have to kill. also a common thing in the series is that the chars from previous games appear as npcs in the later games and some even die there
@@Lergmeister He does. OP was talking about the characters in presequels, at least just Nisha and Wilhelm. Athena went independent and has been snatched by Mordecai and Brick in Tales from the Borderlands and is basically the narrator for the events of Borderlands The PreSequel. And Claptrap, is just Claptrap.
If you want the story/lore you might want to watch the rest of the intros, since you only saw the "song/character introduction" parts, each intro also has a story part that comes before the characters part, don't know why those weren't included here.
Borderlands 4 was officially announced today, while looking at the teaser trailer for the 10th today I came across this video, honestly it made my day. Brought a few tears to my eyes as BL is probably my favorite Franchise.
“Technically” yes there once was a male siren, but that was only because he was a conjoined twin with the real siren. In the games they were since separated with himself being the only one to lose anything (his arm). He did end up sharing the siren power his sister had but I think it was severely less powerful. His ability was called “phaseleech” and pretty much allowed him and his sister to leech powers from others.
hmm dont know much about Borderlands 3 and the male siren Twin. but it would be cool if after when he died his powers would start to carry on to another male and we would have a male siren in BL4 if it ever comes out.
@@mermidion7552 Holy crap that’s actually an amazing thought. There is only supposed to be 7 sirens at any given point right? But counting the twin, there was technically 8. Maybe there could be a male siren force because of this discrepancy? Just spitballing here but in any case good point man, didn’t even think about that.
@@zeallust8542 From what I remember the sirens in the games were Lilith, Angel, Maya, Ava, Steel, Amara, Tyreen, and Tannis. Some of the sirens are dead though which means their powers can manisfest into new sirens.
In the universe of borderlands there can only be 6 sirens alive in one time. And yes all sirens can only be females. The vault is a monster different monster in each vault who ever opens the vault is in control of the monster. I guess I should say there's a monster that defends the vault you have to defeat and or take control of which we don't but the villains do lol
according to the siren shrines in 3 theres actually 7 sirens the 7th is hidden undiscovered possibly not even dead since u only ever see 6 sirens its the sisterhood all the sirens sense each other and come together its why tanis and eva instantly knew lilith isnt dead and tanis had that poster on her wall saying where is she with markers showing where lilith could be after people beat the 3rd game they did not pay attention to anything during the game to know lilith did not die but ya according to the siren symbles u listen to explaining the sirens theres 7 sirens
@Izzy Troy and Tyreen were born conjoined, which is how he got his powers (and why he doesn't have an arm). So he was technically born a siren, but the powers are slowly killing him which is why he has to absorb siren power to stabilize himself.
Borderlands' cover art has a bandit making a finger gun at his head, borderlands 2 he has both hands, so the devs made the joke during the thirds development that they can't release it till they figure out how to engineer a three armed bandit.
Siren powers work on inheritance - when one dies, the power will choose an inheritor and transfer to that person regardless of anyone knowing or being ready for it (with very slight exceptions). On a different note: There can only be 6 (technically 7) Sirens in the universe at any given time and they are always women (again with a slight exception if it even counts, its complicated lol). Then as a side note: We haven't met or heard of the 7th siren yet (Apart from being warned she must not be met for an unclear reason).
Sirens are six(seven) psionic superbeings. They are always female... except that one time. The Vault is a literal McGuffin. It always has the thing you need to play the story, and unlocking it does a thing, a thing that makes a new sequel. Or a ButtStallion. or Both.
3:22 *I suppose it's important to point out that while this game does take place after the 1st Borderlands, so you could call it a sequel.* *BUT, it also takes place before Borderlands 2, so you could call it a prequel. So in other words, it's technically a "Pre-Sequel".*
I always liked the fact that FL4K, the Beastmaster from Borderlands 3, is a robot. So a machine caring for creatures. Also, he may look beefy, but he's not a tank, he lets his creatures tank for him.
What I love about all of them is that the last/4th vault hunter is something other than what they actually are, “Claptrap as a mistake” even though his ability gives him a random ability “Brick as himself” He is basically the tank “Zer0 as a number” is an assassin which is why he can go invisible” “Zane as himselves” and he is like an operative because he can send out a clone of himself and other things to help himself or friends
Favorite character of all time is kriege high risk high reward if full melee build he can mutate to become a badass psycho but he will smack himself every once in while with his axe
Ultimately, Borderlands revolves completely around the vaults. The ultimate goal is oriented around finding and getting into vaults because of the extreme power promised by doing so. So it's a place of unimaginable danger and power scattered on worlds around the galaxy.
Yeah as you saw Sirens are basically in every game except Pre-sequel. In the Borderlands universe they are an incredibly small group of women possessing supernatural abilities. They are the key to unlocking vaults (massive alien treasure troves) and there can only ever be 6 Sirens at any one point in time They are EXTREMELY badass
There are individual trailers for the Borderlands 3 vault hunters and also trailers for additional vault hunters from Borderlands 2(Krieg) and The Pre-Sequel(Aurelia)
Story wise, the rough timeline is Borderlands 1 (Released in 2009), the Pre-Sequel (even if the first in-game cinematic is set after the end of BL2 - Released in 2014), Borderlands 2 (Released in 2012) and then Borderlands 3 (Released in 2019).
The cool thing about Claptrap is he has everyone's ability up to 2 but in his own way. There are some conditions but it's mostly random which ability he'll get. Also while 1 has a better song 2 is still my favorite. 2 is generally the most liked while 3 has the best gameplay.
the thing about sirens is that only 8 of them could exist at any given time(it used to be 6 but they retconned it so that there are now 8 since phase-leech isn't the 7th siren power and it's not one of the original 6) and each one is born with different crazy powers phase-lock phase-walk(the ability to teleport and move between dimensions) phase-shift(the ability to control anything that people agree are machines) phase-trance(Amaras ability) phase-puppetry?(I assume thats what it's called because it allows it's user to control other living things) phase-leech(the ability to suck the life out of someone by simply touching them) and phase-lock(Mayas ability) the other powers are unknown... also male sirens are possible as seen with Troy calypso but that is only because Troy and Tyreen were chimeric twins(when 2 conjoined twins are different genders) and it's possible for some sirens to use their power in such a way that they could mimic the abilities of other sirens... although it's a weaker version of that power they are mimicking
To answer some of the questions without spoiling anything. The Sirens aren't a race, they are individuals who have acquired incredible, mysterious powers, and are physically distinguished by elaborate tattoos that cover half of their bodies. It is said that only six Sirens can exist at any given time, and when a Siren dies, their powers pass on to another individual. The women who are Siren are just born Sirens. When a Siren uses their power their tattoos glow. The planet they're on is Pandora, there's a rumor in the universe of a vault in Pandora so vault hunters came to Pandora to seek it out hoping to find wealth and loot inside.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The don't get chosen in the traditional sense.... well they didn't used to. Borderlands 3 kinda changed the lore a bit. Before that game the lore was Sirens are just born Sirens, randomly. They don't find out until their tattoos come in around puberty. But Borderlands 3 added that a Siren can choose their successor, if they name their successor before they die. So it's both now, if a siren doesn't name a successor, then the powers will go to someone randomly....or conveniently.
It is said that only six Sirens can exist at any given time, and when a Siren dies, their powers pass on to another individual. All Sirens are inexplicably drawn to the planet Pandora at some point in their lives. That’s why Sirens are most likely to become Vault hunters. There are some DLC characters that have intros and there’s a choice matters game called Tales from the Borderlands
In 3 my favorite is the Gunner, because I mostly play solo, and her Bear is a life saver when being overwhelmed; you call it and destruction ensues. Double powered with Homing Rockets is a beautiful spectacle on PS5 with all the sparks and explosions 🤩
Sirens are a race of beings that have been within the Borderlands universe for thousands of years. Only 6 different sirens can exsist within the Borderlands universe at any given time. Borderlands 1, 2 and 3 have the biggest emphasises on sirens as they take part in the history of vaults and the Eridians. The concept of Borderlands varies between games. Borderlands 1/BL1 is straight foward and that four Vault Hunters came to Pandora in search of fame, power and loot by hunting a mysterious alien legend known as the Vault. BL2 follows four/six Vault Hunters that were lured to the planet by Handsome Jack in hopes of killing them and preventing them from stopping the foreseen future of Jack opening and controlling a Vault to wipe the bandits and creatures of Pandora off of the face of it. Four/six Vault Hunters travel to the moon of Pandora which is Elpis as Jack at the time was just a programmer who through his skills and intellect uncovered a Vault hidden within the moon... he hired the 4/6 Vault Hunters in his attempt of uncovering and opening the Vault against the will of The Lost Legion who had forseen BL2's events. BL3 follows 5yrs after the events of BL2's 5th campaign DLC, twin brother and sister sirens came to Pandora in hopes of ascending to GOD-HOOD by using their siren power to leech the strongest being/Vault Monster, The Destroyer... they claimed the clans of Bandits across Pandora and dubbed themselves as The COV or Children Of the Vault.
Don't know if any of this has been covered yet. There's a lot behind sirens, there can only be six in the universe at a time, and they can only be women, and I believe during Borderlands 3 there was a switch between sirens, so if one dies another one will take its place. There's also a weird thing they can do, where they can pass on their powers to someone else willingly aside from randomly. Of course in Borderlands 3 it's proven that not all Sirens are good. The vaults are kind of a combination of different alien things. So they both are the gate as well as the monster behind them. According to Borderlands 3, they're usually created to stop an even bigger monster of some sort, I would look into Borderlands 3 if you want the most information about the vaults. There's a lot of stuff especially in three that would be very spoilery I don't know if you want to know about any of that.
The best part to me is how they use mostly The heavy songs for the intros after borderlands 1. The best one is when they use "how you like me now", after you kill Handsome Jack at the end of 2, which is the best possible sp g to hesr after I tomahawked Jack as the Commando, even tho letting Lilith do it was much for fitting bc of what he did to Roland, she deserved her revenge.
Also you defineteluy should see the awesome Borderlands 3 Character trailers. And I must say Gearbox select cool music for Borderland trailers, intros & outros. Even in 'Tales from Borderlands' (but why 'even' , it's 'especially') - I don't know who peek musik for Tales from Borderlands - Telltales theyseves or Gearbox, but it fit perfectly.
Amara is my favorite of the Sirens to play as in the whole series. I find that she matches my playstyle the most. Other than that, I tend to play the soldier class, and Axton was my favorite of that class. Not because I especially like the character or anything, but just because his ability felt really effective and satisfying to use.
You can tell a lot about people based on their Vault Hunters. I played: Roland Athena Axton And Moze Sirens are Naturally all Female but there is 1 male one who is a twin. Only 7 Sirens can exist at one time. Vaults are complicated. Said to hold treasure but often are prisons for dangerous beasts.
For people who are confused Borderlands The Pre Sequel takes place after the events of the first borderlands but also before the events of Borderlands 2!
To answer your questions: Question 1: The Sirens a group of 6 women in the universe that posses supernatural abilities within the Borderlands Universe, a person can have Siren powers from birth (like with Lilith the red headed Siren) or can be passed on to another (we've seen characters that didn't start as Sirens gain Siren powers later on after a Siren died, we don't know the method yet). Normally Sirens are female however there's only been 1 very special case where there was a male siren, but that's an expection not the norm. In the lore Sirens are drawn to Pandora (the planet the games mostly take place) for some reason which is why we tend to get at least 1 Siren playable per game (besides the Pre-Sequel). You don't need a Siren on your team they're just a playable character you don't have to pick them if you don't want to (though they tend to be pretty strong characters). Question 2: The Vault(s) was a old legend in the Borderlands lore with many people claiming different things about the Vaults like wealth, power or "some nonsense like friendship" - Marcus the gun dealer, so people that search for these Vaults are called Vault Hunters. You as the player are a Vault Hunter searching for these legendary Vault(s) & that leads the characters to Pandora. Question 3: The Childern of the Vault were a cult led by the villians of Borderlands 3, they conviced (tricked) the bandits of Pandora (like the crazies in the openings) into following their pursuit of the Vaults promising riches & power to those that helped them find & open the Vaults.
Fun Fact: There can only be 6 Sirens in existence at one time. Once a Siren dies, she can choose to pass her powers onto a certain individual or the powers find someone else to go to. There’s also a 7th Siren but legend says, (in Borderlands lore), no one should seek the 7th out.
Congratulations on the milestone,you two. Here's to more in the in the future. As always another Fantastic video. Keep being awesome. Vault hunters are pretty much treasure hunters, and the children of the vault is nearly like a cult. Sirens are females only.
I played the first Borderlands so much that the title screen actually burned into my old tv screen because we never really turned it off, just took breaks! XD
TL DR Sirens are mysterious group of women throut universes timeline(their powers are randomly bestowed on some women when one dies) with some wierd powers and they are drawn to eachother because they are sirens so in any main game(Pre-Sequel is a side story about 2nd game's main villain) the siren is a PC class.
There are only ever 6 sirens living at any given time (or I think it's 6 it's a set number of them) and when one dies another is born or their powers are bestowed onto someone else like in borderlands 2 when Angle dies Tannith gets siren powers I think they were passed but I don't remember. And there has only ever been 1 male "siren" as in like the marks or tatoos but he was the twin to the actual siren and he was a parasite that had to live off of his sisters energy
Borderlands always had the best intros. It was good to see the dog animal not die that one time and be part of the team. The sirens were always so sexy hot. That last one walks up to the team in the end with that sexy girl sway swagger like a goddess on Pandora.
The "vault" is an ancient alien relic holding incredible power, everyone wants their hands on the vault. the vault hunters are trying to get it to protect evil from having it. also sirens are all females and there can only be 6 sirens in the world, basically they are magical from birth and are super rare and powerful. its an awesome game, awesome story, all the games tie into each other and take place in the same universe.
Something not mentioned here that needs to be: zane is related to two main series bosses you fight in borderlands 1 and 2. And he's somehow the youngest (if I'm wrong, he was for sure the middle, but if memory serves right, he's the youngest of 3)
Really fun franchise, took me by surprise. A lot better than I expected, there was a trailer for the first one, it was one of the first things I downloaded. It was a serious epic grim trailer with the matrix " you are gonna need guns A lot of guns" and then the rows of guns, and it was in that more real than real like graphics. As it's obvious they did not stick with that the next trailer had some of the same Scenes but now in cel shading and more humor
The thing about the sirens is that there is only, and always, 6 of them in the entire universe at any given time, and they are always female. One of them was the main antagonist of Borderlands 1 if I'm not mistaken (didn't play that one) and another, Lilith, was one of the playable characters. Lilith is also one of the main NPCs in the story of Borderlands 2 and 3. If it wasnt obvious already, every siren has her own unique brand of space magic.
The planet that Borderlands takes place on is called Pandora. Which is a suitable name since, in the first game, there's just the one vault and it's like the core of the planet. At least, that's what I got out of it from just playing the game. To me, Borderlands will always be a happy go lucky, FPS, ARPG with multiplayer and a TON of options when it comes to classes and maps to play. My favorite class is the Mechromancer and my favorite campaign is the island of Dr.Ned DLC. :)
So the thing about the Sirens, in BL2 there is a small exposition where there are only 6 within the Universe at one time, each one having a different form of phasing, easily identified by the tattoos, and each of them only women. Lilith (BL1) - Phasewalking Maya (BL2) - Phaselocking Angel (not in trailers but in BL2) - Phaseshifting Amara (BL3) - Phasetrance Tyreen (not in trailer but in BL3) - Phaseleeching Last one is unknown as they only showed 5 different phase powers within the game series. There was a comic that supposedly showed the sixth but the powers were never revealed. Fun part, when a Siren dies, the powers gets transferred to another female within the universe at random.
Siren's are like a mythological role like Aspects in League of Legends, there can only be 6 when one dies another is born. Right now I think only three are alive after the events of BL 3 I haven't played the newest spin-off though, but that's an in-universe D&D game so idk if anything important happens in it. Commandant Steele, the villain of BL1, Lilith, Maya, Angel (Jack's daughter), Ava, Tyreen Calypso (Borderlands 3 Villain), Patricia Tannis and Amara.
The Dog like beast in the intros are called Skags, they breed like rabbits, have the aggression of a Crocodile and the eating habits of a tiger shark (meaning they eat literally everything). Cl4P-TRP or ClapTrap is a robot made by the Hyperion company, they were designed to be a type of helper bot but were found to be extremely annoying, the Claptrap unit you play in the Pre-Sequal is the last functional model (still super annoying, doubt many on Pandora feel too bad about the Claptraps being wiped out).
ah borderlands. this series has so much to them. sirens and their powers are basically gifts. when one sirem passes they choose who gets their powers. only 6 can exist in the universe at any given moment. but there is some story talking about not to awaken the 7th siren. childten of the vault are troy and tyreen calypso. both which are sirens. literally the only male siren is troy. but its cause he was a conjoined twin with his sister.
I wouldn’t say that Sirens are a race but more of a rare phenomenon considering there can only be 6-7 (it’s I’m one of those numbers) sirens alive in the universe at one time and each siren is either born with the ability they get or they late on in life obtain it by random or by another siren giving them their power after their death. Also basically all sirens are female with the exception of Troy in BL3 since he was leaching off his sister because without her he would die so when they were both born they had to basically cut him off her and he obtained some of her powers making him the first male siren and siren powers vary from phase walk,grasp,leach, and plenty more. Also you can tell a Siren apart mainly from their tattoos they have on their arm. But on the basis of the Vaults basically they range from being a prison to being a weapon cache there was a superior race called the Eridians that made these vaults to lock away various monsters that had threatened the world and in some cases the universe and the Vault hunters are basically as their name says they hunt down the various vaults in search for various reasons since each character has their reasons for being a vault hunter. The children of the vault are basically just a cult of bandits
Zero is my faveriote charactor he wasnt telaporting he sets up a hologram and goes invisable as an ambush as to what he is im not sure because the dudes got six fingers and speaks in hikou and emotes with his daftpunk helmet.
The sirens are a special story element, there can only be a few at a time. The vaults got loot that can be sold for money, vault hunter find vaults. Children of the vault are just a cult in BL3. Most of the people are crazy because the planet sucks and you need to be crazy to go there in the first place. Any other questions, ask and you will receive.
17:00 What is Zer0? Good questions :P And his ability is different from Lilith's, Lilith actually phases out of this reality/dimension as a form of teleportation. Zer0 has technology to turn invisible whilst leaving behind a holographic decoy, it only looks like teleporting to other people.
In bl2 there are 2 additional vault hunters called gaige and creig, gaige can sommon a death robot to fight with her (which in every borderlands game, there are skill trees and gaige was BROKEN in bl2). And creig is a phsyco like what you see in those trailers who also in the lore had a crush on maya (the siren in bl2).
“The women seem like the best” oh, they are, by a long shot😂 the sirens r all mighty BEASTS. Only person more OP, is prolly the gunzerker in the second game
7 sirens can and will exist in the universe at one time, if a siren dies the powers go to a random person, but can be manipulated by the siren while they are alive
if you liked this,. you should watch the Borderlands 2 release trailer for Krieg the psycho, and listen to the echo logs for Gaige the mechromancer. they also had really funny introductions.
Fun fact: If you select Cl4P-TP in the Pre-Sequel the game will actually try to persuade you to not choose him when in actuality he's the most versatile player in the game.
But in exchange for that versatility you have to play as Clap Trap so is it really worth it 🤣.
And don’t forget you can’t go upstairs
And if I remember, he's completely focused on making everyone else better, so he sucks solo.
@@acrab6527 Actually he's just as capable even on his own. For example, his skill "HIGH FIVES GUYS" can work in 3 ways, if a teammate high fives you, you don't get a high five and even enemies can give you high five. Regardless on how the skill is activated, it still grants you positive effects.
Hes actually quite strong I love his torgue builds.
"It’s cute that you all think you’re the heroes of this little adventure, but you’re not"😄
*"Welcome to Pandora, kiddos."*
I would eat jacks prime rib no hesitation
I really hope you guys give Borderlands 2's "Meat Bicycle For Two" trailer a shot. It is so damn entertaining.
Seconded
It’s shiny, it’s fleshy, it’s a 2-sEATer, THE MEAT BICYCLE
Yeah that’s definitely my favorite
I think they already did
Yes please!
To my understanding, Sirens are sort of cosmically "chosen" superwomen. They can come from anywhere, and they're not generally known from birth...it's more something that "manifests" when they get to a certain age, or they can even become Sirens later in life. At one time there are always six Sirens in existence in the universe, and when one dies the "mantle" passes to another woman or girl somewhere out in the cosmos. They all have different abilities and powers pretty specific to themselves and their own personal flavor. Lilith can phase through reality in an intangible state, with explosive effects when popping out of the ethereal form. Maya has the "phaselock" ability, where she can summon bubbles of energy to lift and trap foes and in some cases move objects around. Amara has kind of a smattering of powers (BL3 expanded skill trees quite a bit and gave players a lot of special powers to choose from), but they generally revolve around the manifesting of that set of spectral arms to interact with enemies in different ways (straight up smashing, projecting waves of force forward, and a grab/lift similar to Maya's).
There are other Sirens in the games as well, with different powers of their own. I won't go into them too much, but yeah...all of my main series BL1-3 first playthroughs were as the Siren character of the title, and they were ALL awesome. Every character has something fun to enjoy but I mean...come on, smokin' hot badass women covered in glowing tattoos who can wreak havoc with special reality-warping powers? It's hard to top that lol. Definitely my favorites of the player choices/NPCs.
As to the Vault? Well, that's something that is kind of a mystery as the series starts. It's kind of a fairy tale in this area of space, some ancient place locked away for aeons, the contents of which could be pretty much whatever you dream them to be. It's like searching for the Fountain of Youth, it's mostly rumors and little clues found in corners of the universe...but the allure of it is still enough to capture the imaginations of people across all worlds, who come together to try to find it as Vault Hunters. Riches, weapons, power...the Vault is pretty much the dream for a lot of people. The actual nature of the Vault? Well, that's something our player characters have to find out for themselves. ;)
Borderlands really was a fixation of mine for quite a while lol. I played the living HECK out of 1-3, though I never did try out the Pre-Sequel. They're all pretty great games, though they each have their ups and downs (the writing in BL3 is pretty notoriously bad, but the combat mechanics are all great and the pace of the gameplay/firefights is quick and intense). Great series all in all, one day I gotta go back and try out the Pre-Sequel.
Nyriad was the 7th siren, but since she died inside of the valt on Nekrotafeyo her siren power couldn't find a new host leading to the existence of a 7th siren being forgotten, untill Typhon Deleon and Leda found, opened and had some fun inside.
There are 6 or 7 siren powers passed down ( not sure if the 6th was locked
Away or if there was a 7th and they got forgotten) but basically when one siren dies their powers Go to the new siren. We have seen 5 siren powers so far. Liliths, mayas (passed to Ava), amara, tannis, and tyreen ( inherited the power that was locked a
Way in a vault).
Also the vaults are usually prisons for ancient creatures locked away for their destructive power but also contain some riches but mostly they’re to keep the vault monsters locked up.
The Pre sequel today would be fun, at launch it had its issues mainly with one time boss fights and no way to go back and farm which was the worst thing they could’ve which is why tps got all that hate when it first launched
But 2k Australia made that game so everyone has Australian accents which is funny because the joke with that was. Everyone on the moon spoke with an Australian accent
It’s a great game now and I’d highly recommend Wilhelm or Athena, claptrap was nerfed a little too hard so playing him will be a little more difficult.
Nisha is pretty easy and probably one of the best because she gets auto aim and crazy crit damage. Pretty braindead if you ask me but for sure fun
Wilhelm, Athena, jack, auralia are all pretty fun characters to play
@@nagacha42 I was thinking that if I ever did do a run of TPS, Nisha looked like a lot of fun. I usually do cooperative playthroughs with my buddy, and we were thinking we might do a Nisha/Aurelia duo. We have stuff we're pouring ourselves into right now (finally got into Ark and we are HOPELESSLY lost in it lol), but eventually we'll probably play something else and maybe then we can give TPS a try finally. :D
@@nagacha42 Yeah I played Athena mostly in all of my playthroughs and I can vouche that she's really fun. Never really tried claptrap, I did intend to then apparently as you said he got nerfed and I lost any excitement because of that. Nisha IS pretty easy mode that I can agree with, get her dual Luck Cannons and she becomes a goddess of death.
Borderlands 2 will always have a place in my heart it made my childhood
☺️
Same
Same... except I was a grown-ass adult when I played it... but it was the best game I've ever played in my life.
Fun fact: Salvador is the only playable vault hunter born on Pandora. The other vault hunters are from different planets
@@77dris Same. Too old for it to be part of my childhood. But, I've got all the games on Steam and revisit them from time to time. Currently, playing through borderlands 2 again.
Having met Colleen Clinkenbeard who voices Lilith and Tannis, and her randomly saying of Tannis's insane lines nearly had me on the floor laughing.
Can't forget she voiced Captain Scarlet the pirate queen.
Was she a nice person to meet? Did you enjoy meeting her?
There's 4 more trailers that you can see for the DLC vault hunters that weren't shown in the original intros. We've got Gaige the Mechromancer, Krieg the Psycho, Aurelia the Baroness and Jack the Doppelganger.
Aurelia trailer is coolest beside said.
Love krieg
Nice. Thanks for letting us know 😀
@@jurayneskazu64 With all due respect, The conductor of the poop train takes all titles, Not to mention his fluffly thing with Maya
@@Spiran_SphereHunter sorry for wrong word "beside", I mean "among the said above".
Krieg the Psycho reveal trailer (together with Gaige and Jack trailers) is simply trailer, not a mini-movie as "bicycle".
ua-cam.com/video/ko2X_YzXwNQ/v-deo.html
Bur Aurelia trailer also show us some story - very short episode but story, nоt disjoint set of fragments.
To be honest, I never was a typical "Shooter" Guy, more like a RPG / Adventure Guy.
But playing Borderlands 1 made me fell in love with the series at almost an instant.
They have incredible dialog and a nice kind of humor, which sets them apart from other Shooter-Games^^
😎👍😀
'Vaults' in borderlands are super ancient prisons and treasure troves built by a long dead race of hyper intelligent aliens called 'The Eridians'. They were used to hide treasures and seal away dangerous monsters (that doubles as gaurdians of the treasures within). 'Vault-Hunters' are people who are seeking to open a vaults and claim the treasures hidden in the vault--which is typically massive amounts of weapons and money. In universe they are considered some of the most dangerous and insane people you can mess with due to how difficult the task of finding and opening a vault is.
The 'Children of the Vault' is a cult that gets started between borderlands two and three while the crimson raiders (A group of volunteers and vault hunters from 1&2 dedicated to protecting pandora) were recovering from the events of the second game. The cult is lead by the 'twin-gods', sirens Tyreen and Troy Calypso (Troy is the only one to break the rule that sirens are female, because he and Tyreen were conjoined at birth). They have the most dangerous of the six siren abilites (Each siren has different powers), and believe that its their birthright to open 'the great vault'--they're basically internet streamers with god complexes, who were so charismatic that they were able to start a cult in their name.
Others have already mentioned the rule that there can only be six sirens in the universe, something thats revealed over the course of BL2. What isn't mentioned is that the reason why there is a siren in every game, save for the Pre-Sequel (since you aren't playing vault-hunters (technically) in that game), is because Sirens are naturally drawn to Pandora. The reasoning isn't entirely clear in universe, some suspect its due to the planets massive stores of eridium (An incredibly dangerous and unstable purple stone) which fuels a sirens power, others say its due to the high amount of vaults that dot Pandora's surface, others suspect its where the siren powers come from and this is them 'returning home' so to speak.
Interesting. 🤔 Thanks for the lore on Sirens and the vault 😀
interesting thing about the pre-sequel: it plays between borderlands 1 and 2. in borderlands 2 you meet some of the presequel chars... as enemies u have to kill. also a common thing in the series is that the chars from previous games appear as npcs in the later games and some even die there
Thanks for the info on the pre sequel 🙂
Not Mordekai though! please tell me that he makes it!
@@Lergmeister He does. OP was talking about the characters in presequels, at least just Nisha and Wilhelm. Athena went independent and has been snatched by Mordecai and Brick in Tales from the Borderlands and is basically the narrator for the events of Borderlands The PreSequel. And Claptrap, is just Claptrap.
If you want the story/lore you might want to watch the rest of the intros, since you only saw the "song/character introduction" parts, each intro also has a story part that comes before the characters part, don't know why those weren't included here.
😎👍🙂 Hmm, not sure why it only focused on music intros either for video we chose 🤔
Borderlands 4 was officially announced today, while looking at the teaser trailer for the 10th today I came across this video, honestly it made my day.
Brought a few tears to my eyes as BL is probably my favorite Franchise.
same, i love Borderlands so much due to the gameplay. i love looting stuff.
No idea if you guys are still checking here, but the intros for Tales from the Borderlands are all fantastic
😎👍🙂 The one game in the series we haven’t seen anything from yet
“Technically” yes there once was a male siren, but that was only because he was a conjoined twin with the real siren. In the games they were since separated with himself being the only one to lose anything (his arm). He did end up sharing the siren power his sister had but I think it was severely less powerful. His ability was called “phaseleech” and pretty much allowed him and his sister to leech powers from others.
😎👍🙂
hmm dont know much about Borderlands 3 and the male siren Twin. but it would be cool if after when he died his powers would start to carry on to another male and we would have a male siren in BL4 if it ever comes out.
@@mermidion7552 Holy crap that’s actually an amazing thought. There is only supposed to be 7 sirens at any given point right? But counting the twin, there was technically 8. Maybe there could be a male siren force because of this discrepancy? Just spitballing here but in any case good point man, didn’t even think about that.
@@daytonhuth3622 i thought it was 6 sirens and the outlier was #7, cant remember tho, been ages since ive played
@@zeallust8542 From what I remember the sirens in the games were Lilith, Angel, Maya, Ava, Steel, Amara, Tyreen, and Tannis. Some of the sirens are dead though which means their powers can manisfest into new sirens.
Borderlands is one of my favorite game series, they are so over the top and fun and the humor is just unmatched if u enjoy that kind of humor.
We do enjoy that kind of humor 😁
In the universe of borderlands there can only be 6 sirens alive in one time. And yes all sirens can only be females. The vault is a monster different monster in each vault who ever opens the vault is in control of the monster. I guess I should say there's a monster that defends the vault you have to defeat and or take control of which we don't but the villains do lol
according to the siren shrines in 3 theres actually 7 sirens the 7th is hidden undiscovered possibly not even dead since u only ever see 6 sirens its the sisterhood all the sirens sense each other and come together its why tanis and eva instantly knew lilith isnt dead and tanis had that poster on her wall saying where is she with markers showing where lilith could be after people beat the 3rd game they did not pay attention to anything during the game to know lilith did not die but ya according to the siren symbles u listen to explaining the sirens theres 7 sirens
What about troy
Well there are ways for a male Siren to exist, as we have seen with Troy. They are very unstable and short-lived without interference however.
@Izzy Troy and Tyreen were born conjoined, which is how he got his powers (and why he doesn't have an arm). So he was technically born a siren, but the powers are slowly killing him which is why he has to absorb siren power to stabilize himself.
And at least 4 of 6 we can see on Pandora while B1 & B2 timeline. Universe is big but 66% of sirens goes to one planet. Like bees to honey...
Handsome Jack in Borderlands 2 is an AMAZING villain who thinks he’s the good guy and your a bunch of bandits. He also heckles you the whole game
Borderlands' cover art has a bandit making a finger gun at his head, borderlands 2 he has both hands, so the devs made the joke during the thirds development that they can't release it till they figure out how to engineer a three armed bandit.
Siren powers work on inheritance - when one dies, the power will choose an inheritor and transfer to that person regardless of anyone knowing or being ready for it (with very slight exceptions). On a different note: There can only be 6 (technically 7) Sirens in the universe at any given time and they are always women (again with a slight exception if it even counts, its complicated lol). Then as a side note: We haven't met or heard of the 7th siren yet (Apart from being warned she must not be met for an unclear reason).
So Sirens seem like they play a very important part in the game especially since only 6/7 in the world and the last one is hidden for some reason 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Not just in the world, in the entire galaxy.
Sirens are six(seven) psionic superbeings. They are always female... except that one time.
The Vault is a literal McGuffin. It always has the thing you need to play the story, and unlocking it does a thing, a thing that makes a new sequel. Or a ButtStallion. or Both.
3:22 *I suppose it's important to point out that while this game does take place after the 1st Borderlands, so you could call it a sequel.*
*BUT, it also takes place before Borderlands 2, so you could call it a prequel. So in other words, it's technically a "Pre-Sequel".*
Love when you guys watch Borderlands!!!
I always liked the fact that FL4K, the Beastmaster from Borderlands 3, is a robot. So a machine caring for creatures. Also, he may look beefy, but he's not a tank, he lets his creatures tank for him.
What I love about all of them is that the last/4th vault hunter is something other than what they actually are,
“Claptrap as a mistake” even though his ability gives him a random ability
“Brick as himself” He is basically the tank
“Zer0 as a number” is an assassin which is why he can go invisible”
“Zane as himselves” and he is like an operative because he can send out a clone of himself and other things to help himself or friends
FL4K and CL4P-TP are both hyperion robots(you can tell by the color of their chassis with both of them being "hyperion yellow")
Favorite character of all time is kriege high risk high reward if full melee build he can mutate to become a badass psycho but he will smack himself every once in while with his axe
Zer0 will always be immortalised as one of my favourite video game characters
If you ever get into looking at the Borderlands series, know that Jack is a real piece of work.
We’ve heard he’s one of best characters not just in this game but in gaming 😎🤟
Him and vaas, best villains of 20teens and onward.
You got no idea how much I love these intros how special they are to me.
Ultimately, Borderlands revolves completely around the vaults. The ultimate goal is oriented around finding and getting into vaults because of the extreme power promised by doing so. So it's a place of unimaginable danger and power scattered on worlds around the galaxy.
Yeah as you saw Sirens are basically in every game except Pre-sequel. In the Borderlands universe they are an incredibly small group of women possessing supernatural abilities. They are the key to unlocking vaults (massive alien treasure troves) and there can only ever be 6 Sirens at any one point in time
They are EXTREMELY badass
There are individual trailers for the Borderlands 3 vault hunters and also trailers for additional vault hunters from Borderlands 2(Krieg) and The Pre-Sequel(Aurelia)
Story wise, the rough timeline is Borderlands 1 (Released in 2009), the Pre-Sequel (even if the first in-game cinematic is set after the end of BL2 - Released in 2014), Borderlands 2 (Released in 2012) and then Borderlands 3 (Released in 2019).
😎👍🙂
Sirens are basically the "magic" class of the group.
“Claptrap is my favorite" legit the first time I've ever heard this sentence uttered
the sirens are my favourite too. they’re the “mage class” of Borderlands and are the most powerful and significant characters in their world.
For the first time ever (totally 🤣)
And always overdue
I am here to say
YOU GUYS FUGGIN ROCK!! 😊❤️❤️
The cool thing about Claptrap is he has everyone's ability up to 2 but in his own way. There are some conditions but it's mostly random which ability he'll get.
Also while 1 has a better song 2 is still my favorite. 2 is generally the most liked while 3 has the best gameplay.
Bl3, best gun play, aaand worst everything else... Reason why the series ended in 2
the thing about sirens is that only 8 of them could exist at any given time(it used to be 6 but they retconned it so that there are now 8 since phase-leech isn't the 7th siren power and it's not one of the original 6) and each one is born with different crazy powers phase-lock phase-walk(the ability to teleport and move between dimensions) phase-shift(the ability to control anything that people agree are machines) phase-trance(Amaras ability) phase-puppetry?(I assume thats what it's called because it allows it's user to control other living things) phase-leech(the ability to suck the life out of someone by simply touching them) and phase-lock(Mayas ability) the other powers are unknown... also male sirens are possible as seen with Troy calypso but that is only because Troy and Tyreen were chimeric twins(when 2 conjoined twins are different genders) and it's possible for some sirens to use their power in such a way that they could mimic the abilities of other sirens... although it's a weaker version of that power they are mimicking
To answer some of the questions without spoiling anything. The Sirens aren't a race, they are individuals who have acquired incredible, mysterious powers, and are physically distinguished by elaborate tattoos that cover half of their bodies. It is said that only six Sirens can exist at any given time, and when a Siren dies, their powers pass on to another individual. The women who are Siren are just born Sirens. When a Siren uses their power their tattoos glow.
The planet they're on is Pandora, there's a rumor in the universe of a vault in Pandora so vault hunters came to Pandora to seek it out hoping to find wealth and loot inside.
How do Sirens get chosen? Do you have to kill a Siren to be a Siren 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The don't get chosen in the traditional sense.... well they didn't used to. Borderlands 3 kinda changed the lore a bit. Before that game the lore was Sirens are just born Sirens, randomly. They don't find out until their tattoos come in around puberty. But Borderlands 3 added that a Siren can choose their successor, if they name their successor before they die. So it's both now, if a siren doesn't name a successor, then the powers will go to someone randomly....or conveniently.
They're making a _Borderlands_ movie, so that might be worth keeping an eye on!
Don't forget 'Meat Bicycle Built for Two' which is a BL2 vid introducing a playable character that was added in DLC, Krieg.
You had quite a few questions at the end, my best answer is to play the games, Experiencing the lore is so much better than just hearing about it.
😎👍🙂
It is said that only six Sirens can exist at any given time, and when a Siren dies, their powers pass on to another individual. All Sirens are inexplicably drawn to the planet Pandora at some point in their lives. That’s why Sirens are most likely to become Vault hunters. There are some DLC characters that have intros and there’s a choice matters game called Tales from the Borderlands
In 3 my favorite is the Gunner, because I mostly play solo, and her Bear is a life saver when being overwhelmed; you call it and destruction ensues. Double powered with Homing Rockets is a beautiful spectacle on PS5 with all the sparks and explosions 🤩
I sometimes go with Cryo Minigun and Speed Boost Flamethrower. I'm currently trying to go for the constant Ammo regeneration, lol.
Sirens are a race of beings that have been within the Borderlands universe for thousands of years. Only 6 different sirens can exsist within the Borderlands universe at any given time. Borderlands 1, 2 and 3 have the biggest emphasises on sirens as they take part in the history of vaults and the Eridians. The concept of Borderlands varies between games. Borderlands 1/BL1 is straight foward and that four Vault Hunters came to Pandora in search of fame, power and loot by hunting a mysterious alien legend known as the Vault. BL2 follows four/six Vault Hunters that were lured to the planet by Handsome Jack in hopes of killing them and preventing them from stopping the foreseen future of Jack opening and controlling a Vault to wipe the bandits and creatures of Pandora off of the face of it. Four/six Vault Hunters travel to the moon of Pandora which is Elpis as Jack at the time was just a programmer who through his skills and intellect uncovered a Vault hidden within the moon... he hired the 4/6 Vault Hunters in his attempt of uncovering and opening the Vault against the will of The Lost Legion who had forseen BL2's events. BL3 follows 5yrs after the events of BL2's 5th campaign DLC, twin brother and sister sirens came to Pandora in hopes of ascending to GOD-HOOD by using their siren power to leech the strongest being/Vault Monster, The Destroyer... they claimed the clans of Bandits across Pandora and dubbed themselves as The COV or Children Of the Vault.
Borderlands 2 has the best intro in gaming ever... and a lot of it has to do with that amazing song.
Don't know if any of this has been covered yet. There's a lot behind sirens, there can only be six in the universe at a time, and they can only be women, and I believe during Borderlands 3 there was a switch between sirens, so if one dies another one will take its place. There's also a weird thing they can do, where they can pass on their powers to someone else willingly aside from randomly. Of course in Borderlands 3 it's proven that not all Sirens are good.
The vaults are kind of a combination of different alien things. So they both are the gate as well as the monster behind them. According to Borderlands 3, they're usually created to stop an even bigger monster of some sort, I would look into Borderlands 3 if you want the most information about the vaults. There's a lot of stuff especially in three that would be very spoilery I don't know if you want to know about any of that.
The best part to me is how they use mostly The heavy songs for the intros after borderlands 1. The best one is when they use "how you like me now", after you kill Handsome Jack at the end of 2, which is the best possible sp g to hesr after I tomahawked Jack as the Commando, even tho letting Lilith do it was much for fitting bc of what he did to Roland, she deserved her revenge.
Vaults are portols 2 acent wizdom & godlike monsters vaults are pocket demensions
Also you defineteluy should see the awesome Borderlands 3 Character trailers.
And I must say Gearbox select cool music for Borderland trailers, intros & outros.
Even in 'Tales from Borderlands' (but why 'even' , it's 'especially') - I don't know who peek musik for Tales from Borderlands - Telltales theyseves or Gearbox, but it fit perfectly.
been waiting for this! thank you guys!
The glasses that hold the wine, was that "Harper Blue" ?
Amara is my favorite of the Sirens to play as in the whole series. I find that she matches my playstyle the most. Other than that, I tend to play the soldier class, and Axton was my favorite of that class. Not because I especially like the character or anything, but just because his ability felt really effective and satisfying to use.
Fun fact the band in the pree sqeual trailer is actualy a austrailian band
When it comes to sirens in the video game lore only 6 can ever exist at 1 time
You can tell a lot about people based on their Vault Hunters.
I played:
Roland
Athena
Axton
And Moze
Sirens are Naturally all Female but there is 1 male one who is a twin. Only 7 Sirens can exist at one time.
Vaults are complicated. Said to hold treasure but often are prisons for dangerous beasts.
For people who are confused Borderlands The Pre Sequel takes place after the events of the first borderlands but also before the events of Borderlands 2!
It makes me furious that they watched the pre sequal before the first
Remember that Roland intro, and then think about the fact they were going to cast Kevin Hart to play him in the adaptation.
To answer your questions:
Question 1: The Sirens a group of 6 women in the universe that posses supernatural abilities within the Borderlands Universe, a person can have Siren powers from birth (like with Lilith the red headed Siren) or can be passed on to another (we've seen characters that didn't start as Sirens gain Siren powers later on after a Siren died, we don't know the method yet).
Normally Sirens are female however there's only been 1 very special case where there was a male siren, but that's an expection not the norm.
In the lore Sirens are drawn to Pandora (the planet the games mostly take place) for some reason which is why we tend to get at least 1 Siren playable per game (besides the Pre-Sequel). You don't need a Siren on your team they're just a playable character you don't have to pick them if you don't want to (though they tend to be pretty strong characters).
Question 2: The Vault(s) was a old legend in the Borderlands lore with many people claiming different things about the Vaults like wealth, power or "some nonsense like friendship" - Marcus the gun dealer, so people that search for these Vaults are called Vault Hunters. You as the player are a Vault Hunter searching for these legendary Vault(s) & that leads the characters to Pandora.
Question 3: The Childern of the Vault were a cult led by the villians of Borderlands 3, they conviced (tricked) the bandits of Pandora (like the crazies in the openings) into following their pursuit of the Vaults promising riches & power to those that helped them find & open the Vaults.
Fun Fact: There can only be 6 Sirens in existence at one time. Once a Siren dies, she can choose to pass her powers onto a certain individual or the powers find someone else to go to. There’s also a 7th Siren but legend says, (in Borderlands lore), no one should seek the 7th out.
Only seven sirens can exist in the universe at once
There's only six sirens that can exist in the universe at one time
Congratulations on the milestone,you two. Here's to more in the in the future. As always another Fantastic video. Keep being awesome. Vault hunters are pretty much treasure hunters, and the children of the vault is nearly like a cult. Sirens are females only.
The thing about Borderlands. Your character might be a "Good Guy" but that doesn't mean they are necessarily "Good People".
I played the first Borderlands so much that the title screen actually burned into my old tv screen because we never really turned it off, just took breaks! XD
TL DR Sirens are mysterious group of women throut universes timeline(their powers are randomly bestowed on some women when one dies) with some wierd powers and they are drawn to eachother because they are sirens so in any main game(Pre-Sequel is a side story about 2nd game's main villain) the siren is a PC class.
Vault hunters are people lookin 2 open the vaults everyone u play as is a vault hunter!
There are only ever 6 sirens living at any given time (or I think it's 6 it's a set number of them) and when one dies another is born or their powers are bestowed onto someone else like in borderlands 2 when Angle dies Tannith gets siren powers I think they were passed but I don't remember. And there has only ever been 1 male "siren" as in like the marks or tatoos but he was the twin to the actual siren and he was a parasite that had to live off of his sisters energy
Borderlands always had the best intros. It was good to see the dog animal not die that one time and be part of the team. The sirens were always so sexy hot. That last one walks up to the team in the end with that sexy girl sway swagger like a goddess on Pandora.
The "vault" is an ancient alien relic holding incredible power, everyone wants their hands on the vault. the vault hunters are trying to get it to protect evil from having it. also sirens are all females and there can only be 6 sirens in the world, basically they are magical from birth and are super rare and powerful. its an awesome game, awesome story, all the games tie into each other and take place in the same universe.
I'm excited to see yall play the borderland series!!!!!
Something not mentioned here that needs to be: zane is related to two main series bosses you fight in borderlands 1 and 2. And he's somehow the youngest (if I'm wrong, he was for sure the middle, but if memory serves right, he's the youngest of 3)
Really fun franchise, took me by surprise. A lot better than I expected, there was a trailer for the first one, it was one of the first things I downloaded. It was a serious epic grim trailer with the matrix " you are gonna need guns A lot of guns" and then the rows of guns, and it was in that more real than real like graphics. As it's obvious they did not stick with that the next trailer had some of the same Scenes but now in cel shading and more humor
How have you not played these games.......?.......C'mon these are Legends..........
The thing about the sirens is that there is only, and always, 6 of them in the entire universe at any given time, and they are always female. One of them was the main antagonist of Borderlands 1 if I'm not mistaken (didn't play that one) and another, Lilith, was one of the playable characters. Lilith is also one of the main NPCs in the story of Borderlands 2 and 3. If it wasnt obvious already, every siren has her own unique brand of space magic.
The planet that Borderlands takes place on is called Pandora. Which is a suitable name since, in the first game, there's just the one vault and it's like the core of the planet. At least, that's what I got out of it from just playing the game. To me, Borderlands will always be a happy go lucky, FPS, ARPG with multiplayer and a TON of options when it comes to classes and maps to play. My favorite class is the Mechromancer and my favorite campaign is the island of Dr.Ned DLC. :)
So the thing about the Sirens, in BL2 there is a small exposition where there are only 6 within the Universe at one time, each one having a different form of phasing, easily identified by the tattoos, and each of them only women.
Lilith (BL1) - Phasewalking
Maya (BL2) - Phaselocking
Angel (not in trailers but in BL2) - Phaseshifting
Amara (BL3) - Phasetrance
Tyreen (not in trailer but in BL3) - Phaseleeching
Last one is unknown as they only showed 5 different phase powers within the game series. There was a comic that supposedly showed the sixth but the powers were never revealed.
Fun part, when a Siren dies, the powers gets transferred to another female within the universe at random.
I think you should check out the little intros in form of tales that Marcus tells before each real intro to the vault hunters
Man I could talk borderlands all day my 2nd favorite game series of all time
Siren's are like a mythological role like Aspects in League of Legends, there can only be 6 when one dies another is born. Right now I think only three are alive after the events of BL 3 I haven't played the newest spin-off though, but that's an in-universe D&D game so idk if anything important happens in it. Commandant Steele, the villain of BL1, Lilith, Maya, Angel (Jack's daughter), Ava, Tyreen Calypso (Borderlands 3 Villain), Patricia Tannis and Amara.
There's also a Telltale game in Borderlands univers - Tales from borderlands. About 5 intros in game (sorry for bad English, not my first language)
Only ever 6 sirens in existence at one time
Heck yeah! Cool thing about Zero is he only speaks in Haiku. :D
The Dog like beast in the intros are called Skags, they breed like rabbits, have the aggression of a Crocodile and the eating habits of a tiger shark (meaning they eat literally everything).
Cl4P-TRP or ClapTrap is a robot made by the Hyperion company, they were designed to be a type of helper bot but were found to be extremely annoying, the Claptrap unit you play in the Pre-Sequal is the last functional model (still super annoying, doubt many on Pandora feel too bad about the Claptraps being wiped out).
ah borderlands. this series has so much to them. sirens and their powers are basically gifts. when one sirem passes they choose who gets their powers. only 6 can exist in the universe at any given moment. but there is some story talking about not to awaken the 7th siren. childten of the vault are troy and tyreen calypso. both which are sirens. literally the only male siren is troy. but its cause he was a conjoined twin with his sister.
I wouldn’t say that Sirens are a race but more of a rare phenomenon considering there can only be 6-7 (it’s I’m one of those numbers) sirens alive in the universe at one time and each siren is either born with the ability they get or they late on in life obtain it by random or by another siren giving them their power after their death. Also basically all sirens are female with the exception of Troy in BL3 since he was leaching off his sister because without her he would die so when they were both born they had to basically cut him off her and he obtained some of her powers making him the first male siren and siren powers vary from phase walk,grasp,leach, and plenty more. Also you can tell a Siren apart mainly from their tattoos they have on their arm. But on the basis of the Vaults basically they range from being a prison to being a weapon cache there was a superior race called the Eridians that made these vaults to lock away various monsters that had threatened the world and in some cases the universe and the Vault hunters are basically as their name says they hunt down the various vaults in search for various reasons since each character has their reasons for being a vault hunter. The children of the vault are basically just a cult of bandits
I hope you guys do all the Borderlands trailers at some point, they're super entertaining!
Borderlands is easily top 5 of my favorite games and Zer0 will always my favorite Vault Hunter
My favourite is Gauge from Borderlands 2, so fun to play
Zero is my faveriote charactor he wasnt telaporting he sets up a hologram and goes invisable as an ambush as to what he is im not sure because the dudes got six fingers and speaks in hikou and emotes with his daftpunk helmet.
The sirens are a special story element, there can only be a few at a time. The vaults got loot that can be sold for money, vault hunter find vaults. Children of the vault are just a cult in BL3. Most of the people are crazy because the planet sucks and you need to be crazy to go there in the first place. Any other questions, ask and you will receive.
17:00 What is Zer0? Good questions :P And his ability is different from Lilith's, Lilith actually phases out of this reality/dimension as a form of teleportation. Zer0 has technology to turn invisible whilst leaving behind a holographic decoy, it only looks like teleporting to other people.
I don't think they ever explain but I like that he speaks in haiku
In bl2 there are 2 additional vault hunters called gaige and creig, gaige can sommon a death robot to fight with her (which in every borderlands game, there are skill trees and gaige was BROKEN in bl2). And creig is a phsyco like what you see in those trailers who also in the lore had a crush on maya (the siren in bl2).
“The women seem like the best” oh, they are, by a long shot😂 the sirens r all mighty BEASTS. Only person more OP, is prolly the gunzerker in the second game
@@AvEnGeD7X238 nah Krieg melee build rivals anyone. He's op as hell
Best channel ever
I've played these and can only have set number of sirens in this universe and it on the planet Pandora not our but they maybe a vault on Earth...?
7 sirens can and will exist in the universe at one time, if a siren dies the powers go to a random person, but can be manipulated by the siren while they are alive
if you liked this,. you should watch the Borderlands 2 release trailer for Krieg the psycho, and listen to the echo logs for Gaige the mechromancer. they also had really funny introductions.
Thanks for the recommendation 😀
