Borderlands E3 Preview

Strategy Informer continues to crank out E3 previews, with Gearbox's Borderlands being the latest game to receive some coverage.
The four characters are Brick, Lilith, Mordecai, and Roland. Brick, as his name suggests, is a giant of a man and has an ability Berserker, which if you know what the berserk health pack in Doom did, you know what this does. Lilith has Phase Walk, which lets her move very quickly and be invisible to the enemy while she's moving. Mordecai is a sniper and has a pet Falcon, which he uses for several special attacks, and we know nothing about Roland except the name. For now.

Each of these characters has their own skill set, and there are three different types of skills: the active skill, the adrenaline skills, and general skills.

On to more RPG elements, all players are completely customizable. Teams of four don't have to have each player be a different character, because as the developers ensured us, everyone will be so different after customization that you'll never find someone quite like you.
