Borderlands 4's lead writer is desperately trying to keep a lid on the toilet humor: "the rejected names for this system would make a dockworker blush"

One of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Borderlands 4's leading dꦓevs seems to be struggling to keep a lid on the series' classic toilet humor.

Earlier this week, details emerged about a Borderlands 4 feature that will allow players to replay missions and bosses. Dubbed 'Moxxi's Big Encore machine' after the seri🅘es' long-running burlesque bartender NPC, it'll offer a chance to farm items and weapon drops without exploit save systems.

Apparently, however, it wasn't always known by that name, and was possibly something that made a bit more of a reference🌳 to Moxxi's sordid past. In a tweet, Borderlands 4 narrative director Sam Winkler suggested that "some of the rejected names for this system would make a dockworker blush."

Sadly, Winkler doesn't reveal any of those names - he says thꦺey "will not be repeated" - but I can imagine the kind of climactic innuendo that the Borderlands writing team might have come up with. I could probably take a decent stab mysel꧟f, but I don't fancy getting fired today.

Winkler does seem to be trying to keep the worst excesses of Borderlands' historic tone under control in the new game. After its reveal last year, he said he hoped that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Borderlands 4 would have less "toilet hum💜or" and meme references to things like skibidi toilet and Hawk Tuah. Elsewhere, fellow dev Anthony Nicholson said 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"the tone of Border𒆙lands 4 will evolve," and while there'll be some "over-the-top📖 writing," it shouldn't be all-consuming.

Borderlands 4 moves beyond Borderlands 3 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands as Gearbox promises "billions of weapons and accessories."
