The Mechromancer character class will be available following the launch of Borderlands 2 once development of the character is complete.

Hurray! Not one, but four DLC offerings announced before the game is out, I love when that happens! :/

I think the case with this is that they are still in development. The DLC I mean.

And that's what I hate. **** DLC. Work on it after the game's out, not before people have even had a chance to part with their ******* money for the actual game.

Yeah im of the same mindset Kev, its like they are saying "Hey you, come look at the awesome things that we could be putting in the game, do you want those? Well, do ya? Well thats good, you can have them for a separate price after the game has released!"

Why dont they just put that stuff, into the game to begin with?!

Thing is Kev, the game is finished and has gone Gold Master. You expect them to sit there twiddling their thumbs for a month or so waiting for the release date then work on DLC?

The selfish prat in me says yeah, I'd prefer them to do nothing until it's out.

My train of thought says they're basically saying "Buy our game, then before it's out, know you'll be spending more. At least four times."

At the very least I'd prefer they didn't announce it, 'season' pass and all until the game itself was on the shelf.

I agree to a point however this close to release we have to assume the game has been finished for a while now and the devs have been pushed onto the DLC.

If the DLC was ready to go at release I would be pissed but just announcing that there will be 4 DLCs doesn't bother me.
