i'm enjoying this a lot but why is it considered to be rpg?

You and your bros take up roles and go on a journey, going through a story completing quests and leveling up your characters, classic RPG stuff
>>
>>3866029
Why not ask that about every JRPG, ARPG, DRPG, or TRPG?
"RPG" doesn't fucking mean anything at this point, and Borderlands is just a first person "ARPG".

>Ukraine just means "Borderlands"
Oh no no no we got too cocky, Ukraine sisters

>JRPG
Stats dictate character abilities.
>ARPG
In isometric diablo style ones stats dictate character abilities.
Same for deus ex.
>DRPG
Stats dictate character abilities.
>TRPG
Stats dictate character abilities.

Borderlands, stats dictate jack shit since all the stats are tied to weapons with your skills barely affecting them until you hit lvl 30+. Simple, borderlands is a fps with very minimum rpg elements.

RPG=Stats dictate character abilities and character abilities define player possibilities. This is why any action elements where player ability bypasses character limitations diminish the RPGness of a game.

And what, pray tell, is the threshold of rpg elements necessary for an RPG.

Lemme put it this way, if you put a COD veteran who could headshot five men with a three-round burst into Borderlands 2 and gave him a Lv1 character with a Lv1 gun against Lv10 enemies he would be stonewalled completely because the damage scaling and level difference penalty would result in him doing 1 damage against enemies with 200HP.

While skill helps, weapon stats are everything. The only benefit being a no-lifer FPS veteran would give is consistent crits which are only good for snipers.
