Why is Krieg, the literal comic releif player, the most tragic character of all the playable characters I just genuinely love him so much

[Tibbykibby]

Only in Borderlands can you have a psycho who speaks only in violent shakespearean phrases have a super emotional and touching story and character arc

[GarageHaruo]

When psycho krieg breaks character that shit hits hard. He's trying man. Just like we all are.

[funtimefredbear]

Krieg's 2 personalities is like 2 friends riding the meat bicycle

[NightcoreBrawler]

Krieg, no matter where he is or what he’s doing, he’ll always be in a Cave somewhere... Really hope we get to see him again in the future, not just in a DLC

[ferventwoe]

Maya's death hits even harder knowing that she was one of the only glimmers of hope that Krieg looked forward to...
"Don't worry big guy... I'll be back, I promise"

[melancholy]

The whole thing with Maya and Krieg is so sad. Like they really cared about each other. damn

[whatthelastpringlesees]

I love how psycho language is actually very translatable if you know the context but without it everything sounds like a threat or some drunk ramblings

[flamethegame]

The ending of the Krieg dlc is so emotional and I cant look at it without getting emotional

[SolarSelections]

Krieg saying "a universe of yeses" to Maya was unexpectedly the sweetest thing I got out of the DLC.

I have to replay borderlands 2 with him now!

[somethingsomethingsomethin]

I think when Krieg split... his passion, emotions and some protective nature became the psycho, while logic and reason became the sane counterpart.
The psycho side doesnt say how much it did for the Sane one. Doesnt even let him know how much he did for the sane one. While the sane one tries to teach him to communicate and show the inner passion outwards without mistakenly causing calamity.

One is nothing without the other

18:47 "urh friends forever now shut up", that made me laugh so hard

[libertyafterdark]

How to make a character that is literally screaming obscenities for the majority of his lines the most wholesome character arc in the whole game

Welcome to my Ted talk

[meta]

Imagine this. You defeat Troy in game, but it cuts to a cinematic. Troy starts rambling on and on and starts to mention Maya and how pathetic she died. Before he is able to finish the sentence, a buzzaxe comes flying through the air, impaling his face. Krieg stands on the cliff,
*krieg voice*
"The Poop train conductor sends his regardz!!"
He walks away, into the sunset. The camera at his back, you hear him whisper, in a sane voice.
"I loved her."

[aliceinscaryland]

I was surprised by the absence of Tina in this dlc. She seems to get along with Krieg.

[maybetray]

As my favorite character, hearing that the only person to ever break through to his sanity dying actually got me emotional. As Krieg might have put it. Words have no description upon the demons writhing through my throbbing carcass.

[marcosm]

The fact that psicho krieg speaks in a way that can be understood by anyone who is considerate enough to listen to him is really cool, like, he speaks in a violent type of poetry, like a phsychotic Shakespeare

[nickeel]

Kreig was always special. He was the one psycho who could still love.

[jacobcrowder]

I really like the small detail that the longer Kreig knows Maya, his psychotic ramblings start getting closer and closer to what he's actually trying to say.

Like once he has a real purpose, he starts putting the pieces together. What he says is still obviously the ramblings of a psycho, but the more he interacts with her, the more his true meaning can be interpreted from what he says

[SPLNGYDUDE]

As someone who played borderlands 2 just as I left the psychatric ward, Krieg is a major reason I still am here today. I've had disorders my whole life, and through a bad withdrawal from medication I got off of, from abusive roommates, pushing compensation techniques, I forgot who I was for a time. They call it ego death. How fitting it is, then, to have my hero and role model cross the waters of ego death, to forget his past, bring him to the same place I stand today thanks to him. I will never again experience psychosis as strong as I once did, but it's still a part of me. That, and my other disorders, have become my strength with age. I think Krieg taught me that.
