I understand claptrap, but I'm surprised that you'd want to mute handsome Jack. I've always considered him to be one of the best written characters in borderlands
I've heard this viewpoint from a lot of people who played borderlands 2 and I just don't get it. I guess the bit is he's supposed to be taunting you the whole way but its just so tiring to listen to. Borderlands is my podcast slop game so dialogue gets muted
It's less about the taunting and more about the twisted hero complex he has that makes him well written imo. He does completely deranged stuff like making his own daughter a lab experiement but when you put an end to her suffering he behaves how you'd expect a proper father to when his daughter is killed.
Then the presequel shows his descent into madness, and how he actually was a "hero" at one point, but gave into his bloodlust through the course of the story
