Borderlands 2: Ideas?

[Kelbear]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I really liked Borderlands.
It had co-op, lots of guns, replay value, a cool art-style, and lots of guns. LOTS.
Because of its success (2,000,000+ copies sold apparently) a sequel looks inevitable.
What do you guys think they could add/improve to the sequel?
I thought a single-player to multi-player integration thingo where guns and armor and abilities you earn in single-player can be used in various new multiplayer modes and vice-versa. Find a really awesome rocket launcher that fires 6 corrosive rockets at once? Take it online and blast some whining American twelve-year-olds in the face with it!
Course, balancing something like this would be tough as hell, but if Gearbox pulled it off, that kind of thing would be amazing...
Your thoughts?

Borderlands needs loot rolls. I'm tired of ninja looters.

My wish list for Borderlands 2?

More color, perhaps it could take place somewhere that's not a wasteland (where most modern FPS's reside...looking at you Rage).

Different vehicles, anyone thinking something like a quad, or motorcycle?

More epic monsters like that Rak Nest, you know fighting insanely huge monsters.
Halo.
More character customization would be sweet.

That's it, no need for story, that'd weaken the experience, (see Halo)

A story is all it needs.

It had the action, the characters, the humour, the artistic style and the game-play length. Co-op worked very well and was flexible, if a little easy to boost. The guns worked well and the controls were well thought out.

Pretty much the only thing that would have improved it would have been an Epic story. So they need to make it like the first but with one of those. This will probably mean mostly new characters, and it should probably be on a different planet too.

Oh, and bring back Patricia Tannis, she is quite possibly the most amusing NPC ever created.

This. Especially the Tannis part. In fact, More Tannis! And less out-of the way.
"I asked her to give you Class A clearance. But she refused. So i stole her robotic leg until she gave it to you."
I don't think those are her exact words but that was hell funny.

ugh, just don't make a sequel. make a new game that isn't an endless parade of killing the same 5 enemies over and over.

More variety in regards to enemies, quests, and environments (I know Pandora is a desert planet, but brown and gray get old after a while). More customization wouldn't hurt. I enjoyed it even without a story, but I think an interesting plot would definitely enhance the game. And a better ending in the actual game, not tacking it on in a DLC.

Keep the humor and the art style, though. And the bazillion guns, of course.
