Due to the PS3 versions of BL1 being back and better than ever with improved Mic Quality, My girlfriend and I are heading back in!
But while She is going back as Lilith again, I don’t know who to choose:
Mordecai for his Sniping and Gunslinging skills, (I love Sniper Rifles and Revolvers) along with the Badass Bloodwing (with an extremely exploitable cooldown)?
Or Roland and his incredible defensive abilities and Combat Rifle effectiveness along with his Turret’s supportive capabilities?
I’m having a tough time deciding, I have until around Sunday to choose (that’s when we’ll be ready to start).
Mordy’s the hardest early on; Bloodwing gives him no defensive options at first unlike all the other action skills and damage isn’t really a problem early game. Out For Blood really helps with your survivability but until then you’ll have to rely on health items and simply avoiding damage to stay healthy.
because your supposed to use the early game to learn how to snipe.

Between you and your gf, who is the one most likely to charge straight in guns blazing, and who is more likely to hang back?
Roland is solid, his turret is a definite plus in co-op, and he can certainly lead the charge. If you’re the one heading in first, I’d go Roland.
I agree with @Poisonedbite that Mordecai is more fun to play, though. I played him solo, mostly sniping though as BL was my first real FPS and I absolutely sucked at being a gunslinger. If you’re more the “cover the phoenix while she burns everything to death” type, go sniper Mordy.
Excellent with revolvers, snipers and anything that’s corrosive, and he has Bloodwing which is an incredible help in the field.
That and his laugh, hardly any VH can top that.
Not everyone wants to play sniper. What if you want to do pistols or shotguns? You’re not going to get much use out of Gun Crazy if you’re only sniping.
As I said (cryptically), there’s more to him than just sniping. He’s excellent with corrosive weaponry for one.
And then there is the Truxican Westler COM, that makes him the melee specialist.
I oculd go on and on.
Serious answer? I’m going to be different and go with Roland. There’s something nice to be said about a character that can provide good healing for both himself and the team, have a regenerating supply of ammo and grenades, a great agro sink, and be a sustainable bullet hose.
