These rules are not all encompassing, but I hope they'll help you get the general vibe:
1. I can only deal damage via Brick's fists. His pipe is not a fist.
2. I can't use any gear at any point. Artifacts are gear. I did allow a car for the tutorial jump, but the rest was on foot.
3. No major glitches such as Merchant of Death.
4. In the event of an accidental rule break, the area must be reset via save/quit.

As for the rules:
1. I can only deal damage with kunai and their explosives unless there's absolutely no other way to proceed. You probably know exactly what turrets I'm talking about. This includes even things as small as jump damage otherwise.
2. No supporting gear like the Grog or guns in general. Melee shields are unfortunately necessary.
3. If/when a rule is violated, the map must be reset via save quit.

Miq has a storied history with gearless runs, and I hope I was able to do it some justice at the hardest difficulty available in the base game. While it was a hell of a challenge overall, it's made me heavily reconsider how I feel about Axton in terms of build and balance. He's certainly not my first choice for my personal playstyle, but he's all around broken. For anyone who's said you need any specific gear to beat Borderlands two... You just need Axton. And a lot of time, of course. And I mean... a substantial amount of knowledge about a decade old game, let's not discount the fixation factor that goes into something like this.
Rules:
1. The run must be completed at OP 10.
2. No gear may be used for any purpose beyond sale. Quest rewards must be unequipped immediately.
3. Damage can only be dealt through my turrets. No melee, bounce, etc. Just turrets. Them triggering environmental damage is fine.
3.1. Accidental throwing of grenades/melee constitute damage.
4. Driving cars is strictly banned. Their horn function is a necessary evil.
5. No BAR.
6. Rule violations must be met with a map reload via save/quit.

#borderlands2 #borderlands #challengerun
In reference to the obvious question regarding rule two, the answer is left. We went with the left one.
Rules:
1. All characters must be controlled using the same controller at all times, not on the main menu. The mouse was used to switch active files to begin playing.
2. All characters must use the same skill tree, at least trying to maintain the same point investments in terms of location on said tree. It felt more thematic, though this was really easy to avoid.
3. No unique gear could be used. Because I said so.
4. No BAR, because having it active creates an uneven playing field between runs and runners.

All rules do follow the "Unless there's no other way" sort of exception. Those will be brought up directly for the purpose of correction when I have inevitably gotten something terribly wrong.

Similarly, thank you to Mermaidfeet for teaching me more than I ever could have thought in such a short time. While the growing pains are many, having such a solid jumping off point to a new chapter of editing has been incredible.
Keeping things going, thank you to Juni and Miz for helping to get footage that we couldn't. I hope it lived up to what you imagined.
Finally, thank you! Yeah, you reading this! I appreciate you being here. A lot of time and effort goes into making every challenge a reality, and it wouldn't mean half as much if I couldn't share them.
Rules:
1. Same as usual, no damage that isn't caused by Dakka Bear. This includes even things as small as jump damage.
2. No weapons, offensive gear, and/or anointments.
3. No unique gear.
4. When one of us dies to a boss, we both do.
5. If/when a rule is violated, we must reset the map via save quit.

Rules:
1. Enemies must die in one button push. Skills, guns, melee, etc. Doesn't matter. One button. One kill.
2. While exploits are allowed for things like farming, I will not for things like damage buffs.
3. In the event that an enemy survives, the area must be reset via exiting to the menu or the game entirely.

Simply put, the bonk stick was not allowed for the run. Transformations, spells, spirits, and vessels would make our damage. All fun to use. None all that incredible by themselves. With the exception of glitches, the goal was to bring down all bosses, because I can/could.

Rules:
1. The run must be done at OP 10.
2. All gear used must be obtained during the run.
3. No unique items may be used, because I said so.
4. After the beginning, I must be fully poisoned before moving forward. Failure to do so must be met with a return to the point where I spawned, death, or a reload of the area. Whichever was necessary to remedy the mistake.
5. Cars can only be used when necessary due to it not being lethal in vehicles.
6. No turtle shields.
How deep into Pandora can one get when plagued by spores? When hampered by heaps of health inhibiting inhalants? I've wanted to take a crack at answering these questions for a while. And finally, I can. It's... certainly a way to play the game. Also, Gaige/Deathtrap are underrated. Hot dang.

Rules:

No favors
No killing
No detections
No throwables
No bonecharms
All of course come with the caveat that the game does make certain things like Blink mandatory in places. If deemed absolutely necessary, it'll be used and directly mentioned. Otherwise, the goal was to use only hands and feet to make our way through the game.

Neckless, no neck, no mouse, without aiming, whatever you call it, the first mistake was starting. The second mistake was choosing UVHM OP ten. The third was probably the gear choice, but at this point, I'm convinced that Maya is just too strong to be stopped.

It's a bit outside of how I usually set up my runs, so if this is something you'd prefer to see when revisiting the game, feel free to let me know. It was a lot of fun, and didn't require any time spent grinding for a change. If not, well... That's also fair, and the comment section is in the same place either way. I won't stop ya.

While it's debatable as to whether or not this really classifies as a challenge run, it is fundamentally limiting my options. Please ignore the fact that this is also arguably just how I'd play the game anyway. Who knows? Next time, maybe the task at hand will be to kill all of the bosses with daggers instead of a bow. Only time can tell. Sometimes I just like having an excuse to check out a game that I've been meaning to get around to playing and can't otherwise find the time for.
If you're here reading this, then I hope you enjoy your bowness. It's not much, but you've pierced the depths of this nonsense deeply enough I quill give you an arrow of puns for your effort. I hope you're happy with your choices. Because bullseye think this may archereally be getting out of hand. I suppose I should knock it off. At least let you loose. But here I am. Stringing you along. Here's uhh... Here's the rest of the description. I hope you have a phenomenal rest of your day.

Given my lackluster personal history with it though, it was nice to be able to come back stronger than ever, proving to myself that I have what it takes to beat the game even under the most dire of circumstances. Turns out, I just used to really suck at games.

As for other games in the franchise? Maybe at a later date. Far too much of my time has gone to Borderlands three recently. Vendor farming is a really dry experience, and triple rolled shields feel like a myth.
Rules!
1. No unique gear where possible.
2. No Guardian Rank Bonuses.
3. No damage through non shields unless necessary.
4. No anointed gear.
5. Rule break = map reload + shame.

The rules are as follows.
1. No Killing anything.
2. No detection for any reason.
3. No upgrades. Corvo is wonderful as he is.
4. No abilities, except where mandatory.
5. No objects or gear, except where necessary. You know what you did, game.
6. In the event that any rule is broken, I must then reload a save where one has not.
The incredibly strict ruleset makes things a fair bit harder to manage, but I greatly admire just how much this game shines at any zoom. Be it quick and bloody or silent and unseen, I just adore the polished feel that almost everything in it has. So for those that voted for it, thank you for giving me this chance to revisit a whole lot of memories along the way.

Thank you again to Digital Extremes and Warframe for sponsoring this video! It was a lot of fun to work on, and potentially getting some new Tenno into the world is always a nice prospect. I hope you can enjoy your time exploring the origin system and may grofit be upon you.
Rules:
1. No unique gear of any kind.
2. No BAR.
3. No offensive shield.
4. No direct damage through any means outside of Phaselock and Phaselock accessories where possible. For instance, Helios, Converge, and Ruin.
4-1. This includes any skills such as Blight Phoenix and even jumping on enemies. Phaselock only means Phaselock only.
5. On any violation of the rules above, the area must be reset via save/quit or a hard reboot of the game.
Borderlands continues to break at any given turn, so why not try to lock some things down into some level of consistency? Oh... Oh, that's why.
Jokes aside, pretty much any excuse to play Maya is a great time for me. It's always a heck of a nostalgia trip, and I find it comforting even through various levels of vaguely nightmarish challenge runs.

While it's not the most unique of runs, I'll be going for perfect stealth, no kills, no ability purchases, and ideally some fun along the way. And thank the Outsider save/load exist.

I’m not sure if/how I’ll go back through the franchise, but purely based on my experience with this title, I can see why it’s well loved. Should the earlier games come to Steam, it seems like it’d be an easy sell for me. I’m not sure how much potential the franchise has for new runs with how beloved they are, but I dunno. I just… really liked it. It was a lot of very simple fun and delight that I haven’t had in a while.

Also, I've been looking for another excuse to play Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. While I have a handful of them, I wanted one that felt right, and hydras seemed like it would fit that bill. Having done it, I can't say that I'd recommend anyone try that sorta setup. Maybe the summon of my dreams is just around the bend. Who's to say?
Rules!
1. No skills/feats that do direct damage. This includes things like the Demi Lich companion.
2. No unique gear of any kind.
3. I can only use Hydras to deal my damage, unless it's unavoidable. This includes things as small as bounce damage.
4. NPC/environmental damage is unavoidable, and thus is fine. I'm not doing it, so it doesn't count.
5. No guardian rank bonuses.
6. On a rule violation, the area must be reset via save quit.

I'm glad for the folks that are able play unhindered by its flaws, and a part of me does want to revisit it some day for something else. With how hard the devs have been working at it, I might not even recognize it by the time that I do.
Credit where it's due though, the magic is significantly better this time around.

Honestly, I've been wanting to give the run a shot for a pretty good while now. I put it on hold to wait for the update to release, and now that I've gone through it? I dunno. Part of me really wishes I hadn't. Would've loved to see a full grenade spam in play, even if it meant farming out the materials for it. That being said, the game is feeling incredible when in motion. CD Projekt Red may not have produced the most polished game in the world, but they've produced a fantastic one.

For the purposes of the run, please keep in mind that everything was completed on the base release of the game, for better or for worse. I hadn't even finished editing before I had the fun of seeing multiple changes to make the game easier...
It was a lot of fun though. I'd imagine a dedicated melee weapon would make for an easier run, but I am curious as to how such a thing might play. Maybe something to ask another day. Hard to know for sure.

I am curious to see if this will spell more titles from the franchise in the nearish future, because it was a delight to play through. I'm not quite sure how I would revisit it, but it's one that I'd love to, because seriously. Once you get a good feel on the controls, it just feels so good to move and flow through combat. It's short enough to not overstay its welcome, but long enough that it's a wonderfully full experience. Would recommend. Unless you get motion sickness.

While I would thoroughly recommend avoiding the game as a whole, I am still genuinely hopeful for the sequel. And I am glad to have finally gotten through it, even if only to say that I did.
Also, uhh... magic better next time please?

In case you're wondering, yes. This is run number three in the ongoing saga of physically painful challenge runs. I think I need to stop ticking that counter up for my own health. But of course... the challenge must go on.

I love summons even when they're not great. I love them even more when the devs are kind enough to give a dedicated summoner class. In this case, the archetype would be taken up by the legendary hero, Beef Chadwick the Third.
It was a really fun run, a fun game, and I do recommend giving it a playthrough or so if/when you get a chance! I'm always happy to see devs support what is one of my favorite playstyles by far. Do be warned, the performance may be a bit inconsistent. I would worry about how lower end rigs might handle certain areas, but otherwise....
Also, Gearbox! The heck?!

Chasing an education with magical abandon, Hide was able to come through on the cleanest run that I was able to manage. Of course, I'd be more than happy to see it smoothed out even further. If nothing else, I'm fairly sure a yokai run will go over a bit better. Hide doesn't start magic, but they start half yokai. That's just math.
Thank you to SaltySphere for lending their voice to my efforts!

While normality is relative, I thought it'd be fun to take on the game as a fairly unnoteworthy individual. And might I just say, I didn't think common guns were so inaccurate. I've used them when they came around for ages, but dang...
The specific rules are as follows:
1. No using skill points.
2. No gear of a rarity uncommon or higher.
3. No class mods/relics.
4. No elemental weapons. Yes, this includes explosive launchers/Tediore. The only exceptions are grenades.
5. No using shields that do damage/grenades that do anything other than blow up.
6. No melee within combat, nor bouncing upon thine enemies heads.
7. No buying healing...

I did pretty regularly miss my companions, but it made for a much meatier experience overall. It also gave me a good excuse to go through the DLC. I uhh... I dunno if I want to revisit said DLC at any point. Navigating is really hard.

The jutsu definitely seems considerably better balanced this go around. The AI is able to counteract it better. You can't carry as much. You can customize your quantities a bit better though, and the game overall has a better feel. All in all? Good game. Excited to play again.
