Forum:Weapon/Gear idea for Borderlands 2

Hi guys!

I honestly bought Borderlands like 3 days ago and LOVED IT! It is one of the best games I've played. The humor they inject into the game is subtle but oh so sweet. Like the Claptrap in that jail in the 3rd DLC who literally had a boot on and you needed to help him take it off. I LOL'ed at that so hard.

Anyways, what I'm here to suggest which, I'd imagine has been done before, is a Weapon/Gear Making Skill in Borderlands 2. What I mean is that you will still be able to run around picking up weapons/gear, but if it doesn't quite fit the bill of what you have in mind, which has happened to me many times, then you can make your very own weapon/gear. You could find pieces for weapons just about anywhere. In skag piles, weapon chests, ammo chests, lockers, and most definitely when you've killed enemies.

This could work really well with those caves that have the elemental crystals. Because you could go in there and collect the crystals so that you can apply elemental abilites to your gun. The more crystals, the more elemental ability, but at the same time there should be a risk for adding elemental ability to a weapon.

It would add an even more "rags to riches" feel to the game and as you make more and more weapons, your Weapon/Gear Making Skill would go up. Leveling up would also help this skill, and a higher skill level should mean that making elemental weapons is much easier.

Well, that's about it.

Thanks for reading....
