This Borderlands 4 Quest Had Me on the Edge of My Seat, But It Fumbled a Golden Opportunity

A standout feature of *Borderlands 4* is how well Gearbox balances humor and seriousness throughout the game, and I completely agree. There are plenty of genuinely funny moments, like the Vault Hunters using silly voices during combat or a side quest that references a joke from *The Pre-Sequel* after ten years. But when the story turns dark – whether it’s the unsettling experiments of Vile Lictor in the main quest, or the disturbing cases in side quests about a dangerous serial killer – the game maintains that serious tone perfectly. You won’t find any jokes that feel out of place.
