Borderlands: My First Foray

Not much to tell really. I hope the game hasn't been overrated. I spent my first thirty minutes in it killing baby skags - ugly carnivorous creatures. Oh and I also fixed a vending machine, fired at some bandits, heard some of the same dialogue repeated and of course, respawned using a dna-technology that charged me $30. There is a friendly robot called Claptrap and some npcs but I still feel the marginalised outsider. That's okay I guess , considering that I'm writing a paper on this but I don't want to constantly have to kill mutated pittbulls to gain XP.
