Krieg, no matter where he is or what he’s doing, he’ll always be in a Cave somewhere... Really hope we get to see him again in the future, not just in a DLC
Maya's death hits even harder knowing that she was one of the only glimmers of hope that Krieg looked forward to... "Don't worry big guy... I'll be back, I promise" NOOOOOOO
what if she really came back? what if they came back as an hologram remember in the credit scene there is a drawing where the companion of typon is making a robot just like him, who knows
I think when Krieg split... his passion, emotions and some protective nature became the psycho, while logic and reason became the sane counterpart. The psycho side doesnt say how much it did for the Sane one. Doesnt even let him know how much he did for the sane one. While the sane one tries to teach him to communicate and show the inner passion outwards without mistakenly causing calamity. One is nothing without the other

How to make a character that is literally screaming obscenities for the majority of his lines the most wholesome character arc in the whole game Welcome to my Ted talk
borderlands on the surface: everything is a joke and everything is over-the-top and excessive borderlands when you pay attention: a really cool space cowboy story with some really deep and sad characters, set in a remorseless awful world.
I really like the small detail that the longer Kreig knows Maya, his psychotic ramblings start getting closer and closer to what he's actually trying to say. Like once he has a real purpose, he starts putting the pieces together. What he says is still obviously the ramblings of a psycho, but the more he interacts with her, the more his true meaning can be interpreted from what he says
Regarding the pretzels, it's because in 2 the voice actor was eating pretzels during a line and he made the quote "these pretzels are terrible" it was random and off script. So the devs made it a joke with him.
I mained her in bl2. Funnest character I’ve ever played in the game. I wish I could forget all my knowledge of the game and replay it. My favorite game of all time no doubt.
As my favorite character, hearing that the only person to ever break through to his sanity dying actually got me emotional. As Krieg might have put it. Words have no description upon the demons writhing through my throbbing carcass.
As someone who played borderlands 2 just as I left the psychatric ward, Krieg is a major reason I still am here today. I've had disorders my whole life, and through a bad withdrawal from medication I got off of, from abusive roommates, pushing compensation techniques, I forgot who I was for a time. They call it ego death. How fitting it is, then, to have my hero and role model cross the waters of ego death, to forget his past, bring him to the same place I stand today thanks to him. I will never again experience psychosis as strong as I once did, but it's still a part of me. That, and my other disorders, have become my strength with age. I think Krieg taught me that.
I have a similar connection to Krieg. I always was a nice and super happy and emotional guy with a big heart and a strong sense of right and wrong. But having a lot of bad luck in life made me a person filled with hatred and being fed-up with everything to the point where I fell into depression. Having beaten my depression always reminds me of Krieg and how hard it is to co-exist with his darkside especially when it was in control of my soul and body for 8 years. I could really feel the end since I'm falling more and more into balance with myself the last...5-6 months. Also the feeling how devastated he was after Mayas death made me remember how I felt when my ex broke up with me who was my Maya helping me to control my inner endless rage. But we worked things out and we are close friends now made me whole again. Keep your chin up big guy! And always keep fighting the good fight. You are not alone in this❤️
Well, maybe in a symbolic way. Ghost are just what we want them to be. Maybe what we need them to be. Maybe Sane Krieg is seeing a ghost. Maybe that's what he needs to stay sane.
I want to believe that somehow some way, Maya's mind got put into Krieg's head when she died. And so she's like the 3rd distinct personality in there, and they just haven't realized it yet.
I mean.... Maya's siren power always seemed to be much more psychic than the other siren.. Wouldnt be far fetch that strong memory of her in the mind of a psycho would be enough to give her a second chance.. But knowing Krieg.. Wont happen until Psycho and Sane Krieg both get along well
The dialog you get when salt the wound procks actually makes sense now “kill the little man” is referring to the sane Krieg who is still in control of his mind
If they make a bl4 eventually, I want krieg to return as a playable character, except you play as sane krieg, but his ability lets psycho krieg take control and rip everyone to shreds. Edit: in the immortal words of wacky woohoo pizza man: What the hell is this?! Why does this comment get so much attention? I legitimately made this comment at 2 in the morning
highly doubt it since that would make kreig, a dlc character the first recurring playable one. it would make more sense for bl4 to make him a dlc playable but regardless that would show a blatant favoritism. dont get me wrong i would love for that but i know on a more business and fanbase standpoint some people would be pissed.
What they really need to do is have BL4 have 4 new hunters, as well as all the surviving hunters from the previous games as playable. Update everyone’s abilities to make sense canonically. Extra credit for making Tina a playable character. Guarantee they would triple their sales figures, and it would be the only way to make the fandom happy...for at least a week.
And Maya can talk with him through his head, like Lilith can with all other vault hunters. Imagine how dope that will be, I think I would play only Kreig and nothing else
It infuriates me to no end that they killed Mia. They easily could have carried on the story without her demise. Worst of all it deprives Krieg of the somewhat happy ending his character deserved so much. Imagine this. The story play's out with Mia simply losing her powers like Lilith, instead of getting hers back, they go to that annoying little brat who's name escapes me. Then at the end of the Psycho DLC, Krieg finally meets Mia again, and they settle down on the ship. Krieg deserves that happiness. His character is made somewhat whole by making peace with his other half, but the love of his life, the only person who could understand him through the rambling is gone. He still has her memory, but that's not the same, unlike what the dumbass game dev's would have you believe. He's fixed himself partially, but now there's a piece missing that can never be put back. Kinda pokes a hole in the supposedly happy ending of the DLC huh?
I have a feeling that In the coming borderlands game in a few years they will somehow bring maya back because he spirit was released when the calypso twins died
I mean he directly addresses this throughout the whole DLC especially the end.. We all have holes, fixing yourself to be okay again is the point. And if he's fine why is everybody else still crying for him? "End of story"
in borderlands 2 we were just grinding some boss, idk who even, and my krieg friend used redeem the soul on me. Out loud, clear as day, i heard the other player's callout "you don't deserve this, I do." I started crying.
Krieg is my favorite character in borderlands, I loved going on a buzz axe ramapage and bloodsplodeing pyro Pete. His poetic rambling were the best, and when you think about it, he probably has the most emotional maturity, focus and control of any vault hunter. He amazing representation of the crazy that lives in all of us, and I hope he finds happiness. Thanks for everything big guy, you made the neck snaps of garbage people my new favorite song.
Y'know I bet it was Flesh Stick who sent him on that Hyperion mission. Being a human trafficker, he probably lied to him about the job just to get him and others to Hyperion without having to do it himself like he did with Tina's family. So, in BL2 when Flesh Stick is tortured by Tina (probably the same way her parents were tortured) Krieg got some side revenge out of it.
Psycho Krieg's way of speaking is amazing poetry in my eyes. Hearing the response and seeing how its possible the words line up; even when they're odd, is just beautiful. For example, when Tina was getting lessons and she said it wrong. The first thing he said was: "Subjugate the mind tickle" Its like his words are metaphors on top of metaphors. "No, try again," becomes, "control your thinking," becomes "Subjugate the mind tickle"
The entire love story between Maya and Krieg is absolutely beautiful and wholesome in the weirdest, most tragic Borderlands style way, and I can't even explain how pissed I am at Borderlands 3 for having screwed up their story
I now realize that even in bl2, Kreig foreshadowed the fact his psycho side was holding back the rage. In regular state when you got below a certain amount of health. A new stage of anger called "Release the beast" showed another mutant taking over, one even stronger. Once it was over, I believe psycho side pulled the reaver side back into his cell. I like to believe the sane side was the one that'd hold a gun, psycho was the one we pull out the buzzsaw, and the reaver was the beast referred to in thw skill tree.
Im glad krieg wasnt just a dlc character that wasnt just in one game an forgotten about. He was given a. Good story an you know what i feel at peace knowing our pyshco an finally be at peace within himself
I don't know why, but his love for Maya (and her eventual coming to genuinely care for him) just really gets to me. There are infinite love stories out there, but this one just pulls at a certain heartstring. Well done, Gearbox. Whoever wrote Krieg did one helluva job.
Kreig was(is "future proofing this") always my favorite and when i saw Maya die in the game i knew from the 2nd that Krieg was going to be messed up inside, Krieg was my main him and Axton were the 2 i put the most time into and it fucks me up inside to see him hurting like this.
Krieg was the best playable vault hunter, just cruisin around on fire throwing axes an choppin fools up, tanking insane amounts of damage never had more fun playing borderlands
I gotta say, I never got the hype behind Maya as a character. She seemed so bland to me in BL2 with her voice lines. And that game didnt really do a good job at fleshing out the playable characters. That being said, man did they make up for it in this dlc. Maya came off as wise, understanding, and kind with an unbreakable bond with krieg. Just great writing for her character and amazing voice acting.
Krieg has always been my favourite borderlands character (I never got into bl1 when it came out) and bl2 will always be one of my all time favourite games ever, I'm even planning to get a Krieg tattoo sometime.
I’m not gonna lie, the Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck made me cry, no joke, and not just once, but several times, Krieg was the 1 person in the entirety of Borderlands who I wanted to know so much more about, his story is so interesting and yet, they never touch on it until this DLC, it made me happy to see my favorite character getting the light he deserves, and having a super fuckin fun DLC to go with it (which in my opinion was the best one out of the 4)
Yeah it reminds me of dark souls but it annoys me how important story elements were in echo logs that are missable like nyriad powers transferred to Tyreen, and Tyreen Troys characters development that led them to being annoying.
they shouldve made the ending of borderlands 3 that he comes in raging hearing the cringe twins killed his love. also sorry as a slicewound is the best sayings ever
Dude, The Fantastic Fustercluck constantly made me sad, but its ending was so nice. How can such a crazy and hilarious character draw out such emotion?
Well in my case the issues of psyco krieg realy resonated with me the fear of not beeing liked, the fear of loss and pain the isue that no matter how much u'd like to see the world burn u can't lose yourself to anger and the feeling of never beeing complete but the resolution that you just keep trying and get close enough to the best version of you.
that shot at the beginning I hadn't thought to use photo mode there. really interesting that they used the same little girl model as the ghost in DLC 2. Wonder if that was just for sake of time?
Krieg joining the B team and teaching tiny Tina how to speak psycho is honestly one of the wholesome things I’ve ever heard! I’d love a spin off game centred around the b team. No “end of the world” threats or anything, just Brick, Mordecai, Tina and krieg taking down some local bandit warlord and we could get to see and learn what the group are like all together
I absolutely love his raving retribution rants. The sadistic psychotic poetry that barely makes sense yet it says everything it needs to paint a picture of how the meat man sees the world around him. Krieg is the only psycho with an ounce of humanity left
Ironically I was diagnosed with DID too shortly after Krieg become playable character in borderlands 2.. he's still one of my character from borderlands 2.
Imagine how amazing it would have been if they had actually added this onto Ava's story. I think it would absolutely beautiful if Ava couldn't control her powers, and without Maya felt lost since she had no true Parent figure, not the same way Sanctuary looked out for her, but someone who could devote themselves to protecting her. Insert Krieg here. It would have been amazing. Ava decides that to truly understand her Siren powers she needs to go on a Journey of self enlightenment, to understand herself and her powers. Krieg could have chose to join her to make sure she stays safe, and in that time we could watch their relationship grow to more than just Krieg fulfilling Maya's wishes to keep Ava safe, but instead learning from each other and teaching one another the importance of love, give Psycho Krieg an actual reason to let sane Krieg take control, to better help Ava understand him and such. So they could understand each other. Something like the Last of us. It would have been absolutely beautiful to watch. Or.. Listen to via Echo logs. But even so. I'm sad they didn't choose to build these two characters more, especially Ava since her story is so bare bones even Sledge had more lore.
Krieg and Maya's story is just beautiful, I always did wonder why he wasn't in BL3 until this dlc came out. Cause I was so expecting when Maya died to just see Krieg on the ship just screaming at one of them like, "WHERE IS PRETTY LADY? WHERE IS MY PRETTY LADY?!"
love the history of kreig, always loved him and when I heard that a new dlc was being released with him as the star I hoped that it would give some insight on his life and me being stupid couldn't put the pieces together but thanks to you I know a bit more about what makes the worlds favourite psycho tic
This one hit me hard since I played as him and Maya during BL2. I definitely enjoyed and loved that this DLC fleshed him out since he was an extremely interesting dude in the second game IMO.

I mean he directly addresses this throughout the whole DLC especially the end.. We all have holes, fixing yourself to be okay again is the point. And if he's fine why is everybody else still crying for him?
"End of story"
Who is Mia?
It's Maya, dude.. But we forgive you, since u cared about Krieg👍
3:10 “what have you done minion?!? Those were living breathing people with family and …… nah I’m just kidding, screw those guys”
I’m not crying, my eyes are just bleeding water
Clear blood pours out of my skull holes!
@@amandafaith7726 perfectly phrased.
Krieg would be proud.
in borderlands 2 we were just grinding some boss, idk who even, and my krieg friend used redeem the soul on me. Out loud, clear as day, i heard the other player's callout "you don't deserve this, I do." I started crying.
My personal favorite redeem the soul quote is "Monster down, Angel up"
This part gets me a lot
23:51 that death and time can't take you and I away from each other 😭
Krieg is my favorite character in borderlands, I loved going on a buzz axe ramapage and bloodsplodeing pyro Pete. His poetic rambling were the best, and when you think about it, he probably has the most emotional maturity, focus and control of any vault hunter. He amazing representation of the crazy that lives in all of us, and I hope he finds happiness. Thanks for everything big guy, you made the neck snaps of garbage people my new favorite song.
Y'know I bet it was Flesh Stick who sent him on that Hyperion mission. Being a human trafficker, he probably lied to him about the job just to get him and others to Hyperion without having to do it himself like he did with Tina's family. So, in BL2 when Flesh Stick is tortured by Tina (probably the same way her parents were tortured) Krieg got some side revenge out of it.
“ I’m the conductor of the poop train!!!!! “
The fact that I can understand Psycho Krieg like 9 times out of 10 is somewhat worrying
SCRIBBLES AND SCRATCH MARKS IN THE MEAT MAN'S AURICLES!
Worrying because you think you’re going crazy, or worrying because it might make you more sane?
I can understand what he means too
@@aridawson6563 YOU CAN'T READ THE UNSUNG WORDS OF A MEAT POET UNTIL THEY'RE WRITTEN ON THE WALL IN CHUNKY BLOOD!
@@KriegThePsychoActual you can’t hear me until I say what I say
"Say something normal anything..."
"I BUILT A MEAT BICYCLE MENT FOR TWO!!!"
He better come back as a playable character again in the next game
Or at least a prominant NPC.
@@Mikey-em8hs Nah, playable character or we riot.
I think they could never top his skill trees in BL2 I rather he be one of the big main characters in the game
Imagine if the entire of bl3 story was so well written as this short dlc.
Psycho Krieg's way of speaking is amazing poetry in my eyes. Hearing the response and seeing how its possible the words line up; even when they're odd, is just beautiful.
For example, when Tina was getting lessons and she said it wrong. The first thing he said was:
"Subjugate the mind tickle"
Its like his words are metaphors on top of metaphors.
"No, try again," becomes, "control your thinking," becomes "Subjugate the mind tickle"
The entire love story between Maya and Krieg is absolutely beautiful and wholesome in the weirdest, most tragic Borderlands style way, and I can't even explain how pissed I am at Borderlands 3 for having screwed up their story
I now realize that even in bl2, Kreig foreshadowed the fact his psycho side was holding back the rage. In regular state when you got below a certain amount of health. A new stage of anger called "Release the beast" showed another mutant taking over, one even stronger.
Once it was over, I believe psycho side pulled the reaver side back into his cell. I like to believe the sane side was the one that'd hold a gun, psycho was the one we pull out the buzzsaw, and the reaver was the beast referred to in thw skill tree.
Man krieg is just I feel bad for him but I also love him and really hope he can become sane again
Also that last message of mayas was emotional
I don't think he'll ever be sane, but have a healthy balance between his psycho and sane self.
Ngl that shit made a grown man cry.
I’m now gonna yell “POOP COMPLETION” when I poop
Same here. I have been ever since borderlands 3 "DROPPED" but in all seriousness I do yell that. It's a tic I've developed after playing it
I’ll scream HERE COMES THE POOP TRAIN
This episode is the best "History of" so far
But everything changed when the siren nation attacked,Wait what-
But all that changed when the hunter came to town.
lmao
Im glad krieg wasnt just a dlc character that wasnt just in one game an forgotten about. He was given a. Good story an you know what i feel at peace knowing our pyshco an finally be at peace within himself
I don't know why, but his love for Maya (and her eventual coming to genuinely care for him) just really gets to me. There are infinite love stories out there, but this one just pulls at a certain heartstring. Well done, Gearbox. Whoever wrote Krieg did one helluva job.
Kreig was(is "future proofing this") always my favorite and when i saw Maya die in the game i knew from the 2nd that Krieg was going to be messed up inside, Krieg was my main him and
Axton were the 2 i put the most time into and it fucks me up inside to see him hurting like this.
Same
on some parts i can actually relate to each side of krieg
he literally said “eulch FRIENDS FOREVER NOW SHUT UP” idk how many times i’ve said that
he was actually the vault hunter i used when playing borderlands, he was super op and i loved his playing style and his personality
Krieg was the best playable vault hunter, just cruisin around on fire throwing axes an choppin fools up, tanking insane amounts of damage never had more fun playing borderlands
I guess he just gave up on looking for his daughter
I gotta say, I never got the hype behind Maya as a character. She seemed so bland to me in BL2 with her voice lines. And that game didnt really do a good job at fleshing out the playable characters. That being said, man did they make up for it in this dlc. Maya came off as wise, understanding, and kind with an unbreakable bond with krieg. Just great writing for her character and amazing voice acting.
I damn near cried because of Maya’s final message to him.
Krieg has always been my favourite borderlands character (I never got into bl1 when it came out) and bl2 will always be one of my all time favourite games ever, I'm even planning to get a Krieg tattoo sometime.
A BLOOD COVERED OVATION FROM THE MEAT MAN!!
I’m not gonna lie, the Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck made me cry, no joke, and not just once, but several times, Krieg was the 1 person in the entirety of Borderlands who I wanted to know so much more about, his story is so interesting and yet, they never touch on it until this DLC, it made me happy to see my favorite character getting the light he deserves, and having a super fuckin fun DLC to go with it (which in my opinion was the best one out of the 4)
I've never been this early. And I don't regret it at all.
For some reason, Borderlands lore is actually as good as hollywood movie story.
I feel like they could make a TV series on the vault hunters as a whole
*better
Hollywood is imensly woke
The main story of 3 was terrible. Everything else I agree.
Yeah it reminds me of dark souls but it annoys me how important story elements were in echo logs that are missable like nyriad powers transferred to Tyreen, and Tyreen Troys characters development that led them to being annoying.
@@asianman5242 they have baby making in the vault
they shouldve made the ending of borderlands 3 that he comes in raging hearing the cringe twins killed his love. also sorry as a slicewound is the best sayings ever
Can you please do a history of the doctors Zed, Ned and if you want Ted
With everything that goes on with Krieg it just makes me want to cry inside
A GUTTED FISH!!
Dude, The Fantastic Fustercluck constantly made me sad, but its ending was so nice. How can such a crazy and hilarious character draw out such emotion?
Well in my case the issues of psyco krieg realy resonated with me the fear of not beeing liked, the fear of loss and pain the isue that no matter how much u'd like to see the world burn u can't lose yourself to anger and the feeling of never beeing complete but the resolution that you just keep trying and get close enough to the best version of you.
being "just special" is ava's thing
@Ice King shhh
Krieg is the most wholesome psycho baby ever
Man everyone getting along with Krieg is so wholesome
that shot at the beginning I hadn't thought to use photo mode there. really interesting that they used the same little girl model as the ghost in DLC 2. Wonder if that was just for sake of time?
Krieg joining the B team and teaching tiny Tina how to speak psycho is honestly one of the wholesome things I’ve ever heard! I’d love a spin off game centred around the b team. No “end of the world” threats or anything, just Brick, Mordecai, Tina and krieg taking down some local bandit warlord and we could get to see and learn what the group are like all together
I hope Krieg is like a half sane half insane main character in a new borderlands game
Ye like if someone dies his psycho flips the fuck out
I absolutely love his raving retribution rants. The sadistic psychotic poetry that barely makes sense yet it says everything it needs to paint a picture of how the meat man sees the world around him. Krieg is the only psycho with an ounce of humanity left
If you break the moral code, Mr. Clean will erase you. I got a Mr. Clean ad as soon as you talked about the moral code.
I wish that we got a dlc for a flash back and explore and be at the fall of new haven
Listening to Krieg try to express his thoughts is like a drug to me.
Ironically I was diagnosed with DID too shortly after Krieg become playable character in borderlands 2.. he's still one of my character from borderlands 2.
i like how you can understand psycho krieg if you actually try
we need a "The History of Mal"
y'know, one of the extremely few *peaceful* and *friendly* hyperion loaders in the series?
*h i m .*
All he wants is to be human 😂
psycho kriegs first line: NECKSNAP SONGS FOR THE GRADBAGE PEOPLE?!
Krieg is my 1st and most played Vault Hunter in Borderlands 2 ♥
Thx for this video! Really brought back a lot of fun memories I had playing BL2 :)
Imagine how amazing it would have been if they had actually added this onto Ava's story. I think it would absolutely beautiful if Ava couldn't control her powers, and without Maya felt lost since she had no true Parent figure, not the same way Sanctuary looked out for her, but someone who could devote themselves to protecting her. Insert Krieg here. It would have been amazing. Ava decides that to truly understand her Siren powers she needs to go on a Journey of self enlightenment, to understand herself and her powers. Krieg could have chose to join her to make sure she stays safe, and in that time we could watch their relationship grow to more than just Krieg fulfilling Maya's wishes to keep Ava safe, but instead learning from each other and teaching one another the importance of love, give Psycho Krieg an actual reason to let sane Krieg take control, to better help Ava understand him and such. So they could understand each other. Something like the Last of us. It would have been absolutely beautiful to watch. Or.. Listen to via Echo logs. But even so. I'm sad they didn't choose to build these two characters more, especially Ava since her story is so bare bones even Sledge had more lore.
See, the developers need to take a page out of your book
Krieg and Maya's story is just beautiful, I always did wonder why he wasn't in BL3 until this dlc came out. Cause I was so expecting when Maya died to just see Krieg on the ship just screaming at one of them like, "WHERE IS PRETTY LADY? WHERE IS MY PRETTY LADY?!"
I love the background music being a reprisal of the erased anime theme its a fitting touch to a crushingly depressing character
When i was younger playing borderlands 2 I thought that Kireg was a funny pyscho man but I didn’t realize how sad his back story was
Krieg
I'm the conductor of the poop train 🤣🤣😂😂 i love that line
Krieg deserved to see Maya again
Gotta say I have never teared up for a character as much as I have for Maya Kreig and Tina
love the history of kreig, always loved him and when I heard that a new dlc was being released with him as the star I hoped that it would give some insight on his life and me being stupid couldn't put the pieces together but thanks to you I know a bit more about what makes the worlds favourite psycho tic
This one hit me hard since I played as him and Maya during BL2. I definitely enjoyed and loved that this DLC fleshed him out since he was an extremely interesting dude in the second game IMO.
I’m not crying I..it’s just THE MEAT JUICE FOR MY BUZZAXE!!!!
So canonically, Samuel likes her nickname but only the people she trusted gets to use that nickname.
I felt more emotion playing through Krieg's DLC than I did when Maya died, it's like two completely different writing teams made each story
These videos of your’s are very well written and presented. (I’m no wordsmith)
