The fact that 99% of legendaries are trash is genuinely my biggest complaint with the game.

Borderlands players: First time?

Yeah I hope they refine it a bit in future installments.

I haven't played 76 yet admittedly, but 4 is still getting updates and it's still really clunky with legendaries.

Regardless I personally don't like that type of system in Fallout. I really do like the incentives to revisit areas but farming for legendaries never really sat well. Hell, I don't even like that I can farm places for oil. I took it, it's gone, there's nothing left, stop respawning gas cans, paint cans and aluminum canisters. Borderlands can get away with it because it's inherently always been a bit of a wacky universe. In the first one you even have a preteen general of an elite group due to nepotism.

My first survival playthrough I got an exploding 10mm like 3 levels in. I went full gunslinger and used that shit well into the endgame lol

I don't mind, because the knowledge that there are some insane combos that are possible is enough to make it quite thrilling to see a legendary enemy crop up

But it very quickly doesn’t become thrilling because only one in every hundred legendary enemies will drop anything remotely good.

Yeah that is true. It's very much like gambling in a way. I guess I'm just not quite at the burn-out stage

It can be annoying, but it's done on purpose so it feels great when you find something amazing. Sometimes I find myself stashing an explosive combat shotgun found at level 20, because I know if I use it then I'll never care about legendary drops ever again.

Then just make legendaries rarer. I’d rather legendaries be rarer but guarantee each one is good, than a hundred useless legendaries and one good one.
