Got a good look at Gaige's Skill Tree this morning, and HOT DAMN! If she was available on day one, and I knew then what I know now, she would have been my first choice!

You --WILL-- get enough skill points by the time you finish the game to do one full Tree **at least from the first level skill to the ultimate, bad-ass skill at the bottom, not necessarily getting EVERYTHING in the tree** and half of another...

...so you don't technically HAVE TO pick one and only one you like!

...and remember, you can ALWAYS Respec your character.

The thing I like about the right-most tree is the DEADLINESS it will grant upon you. When you choose the Anarchy skill, each time you completely deplete a weapon mag --WITHOUT-- reloading manually, you will gain an Anarchy Stack. Each Stack you get grants a bonus to your overall Weapon Damage --but-- it takes a small percentage away from your Accuracy. You have no choice but to rely on Deathtrap more and/or get up close and personal with your enemies... and I --LIKE-- that! You can get into the --HUNDREDS-- of Anarachy Stacks!!

Halfway through that Tree there's a Discord skill, activated by Manually reloading, it then gradually depletes your Anarachy Stacks, but recharges your Life and grants you better Accuracy and Fire Rate, as they drain. Manually reloading again turns the Anarchy bonus back on.

It may sound complicated, but it has the potential to make you a KILLER BAD-ASS as you teeter between Deadliness and Self-Preservation in battle!

In truth, I found the Commando a bit on the Easy side, so this extra bit of Risk and Reward added to the Mechromancer is --EXACTLY-- what I was looking for!

Unreadable. Will switch it out tomorrow, they gave me more free codes for my troubles. This disc has a nasty ring on it.

It wouldn't be a foursome if you didn't!

Oh man this game will probably be pretty hard with four people, should be a lot of fun. Trave and Leo you guys are ahead of me now though I think, I haven't done anything in sanctuary yet....

Don't worry! The game adjusts automatically to account for different levels and I haven't played too much on Gaige since we played.

Nope, didn't go back since the other night.  I've been working on my level 36 character.

Three horns divide, I think.  I'll be on about 8 or nine.  We are all levels 7 or 8.
