I remember one of the times when Marcus was telling his story the kid annoyed him and he says something like "You know your adopted right". I always took that to mean he was telling these stories to someone he was raising. After all he comes from a long line of merchants. Maybe he adopted an orphan to carry on the family business.

A Mini-Marcus? Sounds like a good idea for a quest chain in a future game. Maybe he, or she would want to make and produce weapons rather than just selling them and would task you with "freeing up" buildings and structures filled with gangs and psychos. The reward could be an increased amount of "on-sale" weapons in Marcus' store.

I believe krieg and tiny are not related, but see each other as someone they lost. Krieg lost a child and Tina has no parents. Zane...fucking Zane. The dude probably gave up being assassin 1 because he wanted to be a vault hunter. He saw it as a way to get more money and kill who he wanted to kill. Maybe that mission saving zero, changed his prospective on somethings so he dropped his mantle has assassin 1 and decided to make a name for himself as a Vault hunter. That's why in the multi verse he still is the assassin 1

In reference to #5; There was a book released about the adventures of Brick and Mordicai in which the prolog has Marcus catching a group of orphans trying to rob his shop. He threatens to shoot them with a wave shotgun and the lead orphan asks that he aims for the head as the orphans parents were killed by such a gun that had cut them in half. Marcus was moved by the orphan's story and bravery that he decides to share a story with them. I would believe that these are the same children he is narrating to in the games.

Remember also in borderlands you arrive in in a bus driven by Marcus with the other vault hunters. I believe you also arrive the same way in borderlands 2. So Marcus would look out for vault hunters. Maybe Marcus became close with a vault hunter and one of the vault hunters died and Marcus took him in prior to borderlands 1. I'd actually love to read a tie in novel that explains everything that happened prior to borderlands 1. That also includes what happened to Pandora. There obviously was a big ocean filled with giant sea creatures.

I think what made Krieg's theory more plausible to me was that in some lines during his raving retribution, it's inferred that the wife died since he states" I can't see her anymore" and how she screams while being tortured. However, while idle his inner voice (sane krieg) questions if "she" is alive or safe after getting away, implying there was two "shes" that he was aware of before going crazy, but one of them got away somehow.

Been saying this. Behind all the goofyness and humor, there’s actually plenty of lore to dive in to. Not expanded like a game as World of Warcraft, but still interesting lore nonetheless. The Guardians and their intentions. What was the Watcher predicting? Why did the seer manipulate people to the point he wanted the Great Vault to he openend? All loose ends, but all shrouded in mystery, that’s why I like Borderlands; Mindless gun shooting at enemies and exploration of lost ECHO, Hunts, etc to reveal piece by piece what is/was going on. Lotta people ignore this fact, and indeed, only look at the flaws of the game rather then put some research in it.

@@familialdysautosis2717 I’m active at the Borderlands FANDOM and posted there a potential game/plot for a future Borderlands game; Borderlands Origins. What if we, instead of following the story, we get a game that dives into the past. The Corporate wars. We can create our own Corporate “Soldier”. Instead of Vault hunters and their Action skills and powers, we can play as a corporate soldier with each manufacturer their own benefits, skill trees and Action skills. We will uncover the collapse, the first arrival on Pandora, wether it be by Dahl or Atlas or by being a spy inside one of those corporations to uncover the secrets Pandora and other planets hold (Beware of Dahl’s presence on nearly any planet) There’s so much potential for such a game. And enough replayability. You can choose and create a character from any Manufacturer and instead of a class, any manufacturer has their own Ability and skill ( so in Vault Hunter terms, Action Skill and Skill tree ) Been thinking about that lately. If they do it good, it could work extremely well.

@@familialdysautosis2717 Another one, since I expect no Origins game like that will come in the near future. But a potential plot for Borderlands 4 is a Siren class that can Phasewarp. Which means, the Siren can willingly travel between Dimensions, Future and past. Maybe after Borderlands 4 we need to travel back in time to corrwct a certain timeline. This timeline would be in the time the Corporate Collapse/War happend and the Borderlands: Origins Would play right after Borderlands 4. Just theories but so interesting to think about

The reason I believed Tina and Krieg are related is from 2 DLCs In the valentines headhunters pack, if you play as Krieg during the love potion scene. He’s describes someone that sounds like Maya and Tina. The other is in the torgue dlc. If you go to Tina’s trailer and look at the back you can see Tina riding on someone’s back. This person is missing an eye, similar to Krieg. Does this mean they are related, no. Do I still want it to be the case, yes

Something to add on Tina and Krieg is it’s possible the decision to allude to her being his daughter, but still leave it open is an attempt by the Writers to put the player in Krieg’s emotional shoes. Just how for Krieg his family are always out of reach in his mind, never able to get them back, for us players the truth behind who they are (something fans clearly are interested in) is just out of reach also. The line just before the DR Benedict boss fight adds to this too “He called it a tea party” (paraphrased) given its connection to Tina’s Tea party and the possibility such a phrase may have a specific association for her its a clear choice to use it in this context but still isn’t definitive.

Marcus is just going around doing his Mercenary Day thing, visiting orphanages and telling stories to the children thus future-proofing his weapon business monopoly when the kiddles grow up and want to go all "Fortune and Glory".

While on the topic of theory 5, I saw a similar theory somewhere claiming that the game modes were actually variations of how the story was told: Normal Mode is a tale told through rumors by aspiring Vault Hunters claiming that a ragtag group of nobodies was able to topple down a powerful corporation and an alien monster with nothing but a dinky plastic gun and gimmicky combat skills. True Vault Hunter Mode is the one that actually recounts the tale of what actually happened given the power level you experience is still reasonable. Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode is actually the story Marcus is recounting given how everything feels grander and larger than life (Also probably why slag is so important in UVHM is because he's trying to advertise that slag weapons are THE number one choice for would-be vault hunters)

I do have a theory about Marcus and the nameless orphan child is rather the child of character that we probably already know most likely one of children of the playable characters since Marcus is the one reacting with them the most mostly selling weapons to them and that the child was born during the war or after the war where all of the previous playable characters have died or moved on and the child was given to Marcus to look after when his parents died during the war and that’s why Marcus is telling all of these stories

Krieg being tiny tina father can only happen if we learn what was the amount of time between tiny tina escape and the start of borderlands 2. Why we need to know this is because we need to know if krieg had enough time to escape from the slag experiments, become a renowned mercenary, get captured again, escapes again, and then borderlands 2 begin. If the time was a couple of years the theory works but if it was like couple of months the theory falls apart.

(In big letters, LEGACY, marcus and moxxies grandson) and away they go on their adventure to not only seek out these legends but also form their own team along the way tearing down the slags and bandits of new, making their way to glory as they find new treasures and beasts to slay.
