Blog post numero uno; mainly just for the quest(s). But if I have to pick a topic, how about playing online coop with people that are drastically higher level than you. It completely ruins the game.

So, I made the mistake the other day of playing Borderlands w/ some buddies of mine that were all level 61. At the time the game started I had a level 52.5 or so Roland. I had been playing off and on over the last few weeks & had made it up to about the midway point of playthrough 2, mostly solo-ing. During this coop session, one of my friends suggested a Crawmerax run...

In about an hour I had become a level 58, but still couldn't even put a dent in the level 62+ minions flying around The Invincible One... And my quest log became immediately flooded with a lot of quests that I wouldn't have ordinarily been assigned until hours later in my game.

And now playing through the campaign / DLC isn't even challenging because I'm so over-leveled... Anyway, long story short, HUGE mistake. That was the opposite of fun.

From the little co-op I've played, Borderlands seems kind of messed up in general if you and your buddies aren't within just a few levels of each other.
