Since the Borderlands 2 version of this challenge was super interesting (and fun) I wanted to try it in Borderlands. Borderlands 1 seems to have way less loot-able scavenger sources, but offsets that with way better drop rates. Overall, the run felt relatively normal, until the mid-end game, where I was getting way fewer drops, and I had to rely on under-leveled gear. And as usual, it was super interesting to fully explore the maps for the first time and learn what cool drops you can get from different sources.
Borderlands 1 feels like such a large game, until I looked at the total play-through time of 7:50. However, that's a sign that it's a great game, and I already want to do another play-through or TVHM.
