Trivia / Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!

Go To

  • Acting for Two:
    • Claptraps all have the same voice, even ones with different personalities (like the Customs Claptrap who thinks he's Judge Dredd, or Moxxi's bar-bot who somehow gets drunk on alcohol.) Playing as Claptrap the Fragtrap while interacting with these others can get a little confusing. They're all played by David Eddings.
    • Jack and his Doppelganger fall under this category too, usually only distinguishable by the real Jack's more confident tone and dialogue, both played by Dameon Clarke.
  • The Other Darrin: In Borderlands 2, Wilhelm's dialogue is heavily distorted to emphasize how he's barely even human anymore. They had Todd Haberkorn voice him just because they knew the end result wouldn't sound anything like him. Since Wilhelm is far more human and has far more dialogue in The Pre-Sequel, Todd's higher pitched voice doesn't fit the ruff-n-gruff mercenary, so he's voiced by Bryan Massey instead.
  • Real Song Theme Tune: Like the previous two Borderlands games. This time it was "Black Dragon" by The Vines for the opening, and "What Makes A Good Man" by The Heavy for its credits.
  • Refitted for Sequel: Nisha's outfit in this game seems to have come from one of the rejected concepts (the top right design) for her from Borderlands 2, seen in that game's art book.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • The "You Can Stop the Music" mission in Claptastic Voyage has unused dialogue to corroborate the "Mainframe" song being played constantly by Teh Earworm being catchy by having the Vault Hunters hum and sing along to it.
    • While in the final game Claptrap doesn't need oxygen to survive, one loading screen hint still gives a Hand Wave to explain why he needs to breathe. This suggests that he was originally planned to need oxygen just like the other vault hunters.
    • There was another Story DLC planned known as "Luxy's Space Adventure", taking the form of the Vault Hunters going on a vacation cruise that goes awry but was ultimately scrapped due to the poor sales of the Pre-Sequel. Parts of the DLC were later reused for the "Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary" DLC of Borderlands 2.
