Borderlands isn’t traditionally a third-person loot shooter, but it sure does a damn good impression of one.
LordEmil1 has uploaded a mod that lets anyone play the recently remastered Borderlands entirely in third-person. It’s not perfect – you’ll go into first-person whenever you’re being revived, but you can hit a button to switch back.
Beyond that, it’s pretty effective! The UI doesn’t have any major scaling issues, the in-game action looks good, and it’s certainly a cooler way to see your characters’ abilities in action. It’s especially useful against major bosses, since you get a better sense of scale and their range.
I almost prefer the game in third-person, to be honest. The gun doesn’t take up half your screen, and you’ve got better visibility on where all the enemies are coming from. There’s mods out there to make third-person playable in Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel, if you want.
