That thresher mission was one of the worst side quests I’ve ever played in Borderlands

🎤 [ Discussion ]

I’ve played every Borderlands and Wonderlands to 100%. The early game mission about making threshers mate was so bad I just about turned off the game.

  • Hike over to this cave and find thresher eggs
  • Except they don’t mention killing the threshers to get eggs, or if they did then I didn’t catch it, you’re just supposed to assume that after all the incoherent rambling of the quest giver
  • The quest radius is only part of the cave.. what’s up with the rest of the cave?
  • Cool, fight like 100 threshers and kill the badasses. Oh but they dive in the ground every 0.001 seconds and stay there so good luck killing them
  • Bring eggs back
  • Oh guess what! Go fetch quest mangler meat
  • Gotta go do that I guess
  • Not terrible but yet another fetch in a fetch quest
  • Sit around while quest giver rambles
  • Fight this thresher but it doesn’t have a health bar
  • Ring the bell three times and fight waves of other enemies
  • Then do menial tasks

Like Jesus Christ who thought this was a good idea? This is like a 30 minute quest full of nothing.
