The characters are memorable/unique, the voice acting is top notch, the story is fun, and it deserves another chance.

In sum, Battleborn’s fantastic single player story is available to play again, thanks to modders. It isn’t feature complete, but it works, and should be celebrated. I want to draw attention to this project: …
