Can someone, who semi-paid attention to the plot, dialogs and audiologs, spoil, how the fuck Lillith teleported the entire moon across the galaxy and what has happened to the denizens of Elpis?

My personal prediction: she toked on the Elpis Eridium deposits, which super-charged her and made her able to teleport whole planets, while in the meantime, she started shooting eridium-laced hormones, which made her loose her tits and grow a jaw.

Failing all of the glaring issues (the story, the woke, the everything else) - is it drastically more fun to play than BL2/3?

Lilith being back in BL4 made me laugh out loud though - no idea how you could work at gearbox and go "You know what? People love when we just force feed them the old characters so let's keep doing that".

I'll give Randy the fat retarded faggot and Gearbox some very very very small amount of credit for realizing that absolutely no one wanted Eva as the main Siren character and acting accordingly.

Tales of the Shire. Directed top to bottom by SBI fags. I can't remember the lead writer's name but he's a heckin enby blacktivist with his stank fingers in a couple of other pies and runs a proper infuriating xitter. Thank you Tolkien estate for selling out like this.

I like how no one talks about the games story or gameplay, but only how awfully it plays.

I like the gun- and gameplay a lot.
All 3 skill trees of the character feel fun and meaningful (only played Rafa, can't say anything about the others), and you can tailor them to make crazy stuff happen with the right gear.
The new under barrel addition to guns is awesome and so far all legendaries were fun to use, albeit there are huge gaps in power between some of them.
Even green guns can have meaning now, if they have a ridiculous under barrel combination, for example vladof shooting rockets or Jacobs sniper with a secondary shotgun mode.
The story is your typical modern gaming affair of "chase the macguffin and use it to kill big bad and their henchmen" with lame gearbox humor shat on top of it. So I won't be praising that.
Now I finally know what it feels like to be a minority since I'm one of the few people liking the game, maybe I can get some oppression points somewhere.

I never understood why they made Lilith the de-facto protagonist of the series because there's very little I feel is unique or noteworthy about her other than the fact that she's a Siren. She comes from nowhere, does nothing, and goes back into nowhere. It feels like she stands in the way of the player character as a driving force in the plot. I feel she is most tolerable in 2 and TPS, especially in TPS since it goes out of its way to make your character feel like a more established part of the universe. I'm probably just soured on her after 3 because so much of that game is standing around listening to her talk over and over and over.

If a Siren really needs to be the defacto protag I would have preferred Maya because she actually has qualities and traits that are likable and memorable, such as her origin on a cult planet and relationship with Krieg. Too bad she was unceremoniously killed by the Dog Shit Twins in a cutscene and literally nobody in-universe gave a shit.

I assume because she's a snarky, independent and powerful wahmen? No but genuinely i hate that they made her the figurehead and the leader of the Crimson Raiders. Lilith is NOT leader material. she's way too emotional and impulsive. The entire reason Jack was able to wake the Warrior in the first place is because she got upset she was being left out and decided "fuck it, i'm coming whether they like it or not." Leadership of the Raiders should have gone to Axton or Maya, Brick even.

As an aside, i fucking hate Lilith anymore, i didn't used to, but good lord she just fucking drives me up the wall. I've been replaying 2 and Pre Sequel and i just roll my eyes and groan anytime she's onscreen. i was genuinely wanting Jack to win in the Pre Sequel. Killer this, killer that, snarky rude remark here, bitchy remark there. This is also when she was genuinely a fairly decent character too, before three got to her and did what it does best, ruin characters.

I saw that she's back in 4 which is the biggest fucking asspull bullshit, fuck you Randy. why the fuck does SHE get to come back but not Maya? Roland? I can't fucking stand her anymore. Also good lord has she been hitting the Tren? i need some of what she's getting with a jawline like that.
 
Wait, Lilith is back? LMAO.
I just finished B3 and thought that the ending sucked ass.
She gets her powers back and then flies head first into the moon? Come on now.
Better yet, it's the first borderlands game with a terrible ending song. Still enjoyed it though.

Are there any prominently older women in Borderlands?

There's a grandma in one of the B2 DLCs. She tells you a 25 minute long story and checks if you're listening (or else you fail the quest)

There's also one in... the BL3 Krieg DLC, or maybe the cowboy one. Hard to say, I know it involves trains, and you gather some ingredients for her or something. I had removed spoken audio by that point so I have no idea what the DLC was really about. This bitch.

Doesn't hold a candle to Grandma Flexington, obviously.

Yes. You are nearly almost always in action unlike other games in the series where you could be walking a good 10 minutes doing nothing. Rerunning bosses for shit you want is infinitely less aggravating.

The only 'big' downside I can see in the gameplay so far are two things: World bosses have a parameter they and you have to stay in or the disappear which is actually pretty small considering how chaotic it gets. My other problem with the game which everyone universally agrees on is the pathfinding. It just plain doesn't work.
