That's what I was doing today in Borderlands 2, or, at least in the second half of the day. The first half was me playing the main campaign again and getting super frustrated with it. Then I had Mark jump in the game and we finished the Mr. Torque DLC and began the Sir Hammerlock DLC. That part became fun. Here's some more detail.
The first half of the day, I replayed most of the main campaign on True Vault Hunter difficulty. It was fine until about 3/4 the way to the end and then the enemies started getting higher level and it became harder and harder to proceed. I was skipping most of the side missions, so maybe I wasn't leveled up enough for those missions. It's weird how this game scales difficulty. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it seems to work against you unless you play like a completionist.
The second half of the day, I decided to let Mark join my game and I jumped to the Mr. Torque DLC to finish that. He was level 52, I was level 44; so he was overpowered, while I was slightly underpowered. I followed in his wake of destruction picking up loot drops like a dog, a loot dog. It's fine. I got to explore a lot and found some more Vault Symbols. Discovering them fufills a challenge and getting them all unlocks an achievement, I believe. They're super hard to find, though. Most of them time I find them by accident.
So with me hosting at level 44 (ended the day at 48) and Mark guesting at 52 (stayed the same), I leveled fairly quickly while he didn't hardly at all. He was fine with it though because he was overpowered and he loves being overpowered. The overall mission, though, is to get our characters back to the same level so we can contribute equally to the mayhem.
Tomorrow, I want to finish the Sir Hammerlock DLC and then the Tiny Tina one to complete the main story content. I'm skipping most of the side missions. Doing that makes the story much more comprehensible. Usually, doing all the side missions, I start to forget what the main story is, and by the end, I wonder just how I got there. This way the main story is up front and center. I'll go back to side missions, maybe with the idea of achievement hunting, later.
That's a day. Oh hey. Toodles!
