You don't have to play the first one. The gameplay is quite different between the first and the others. Start with 2 and then if you're really hooked, you can go back and play the first one

BL is one of those weird franchises where I feel the DLCs stories are considerably better than the mains for the most part

Like for BL1 the Robot Revolution and General Knoxx DLCs are fantastic, BL2 has the Scarlett DLC and Assault on Dragon Keep, TPS with Claptastic Voyage DLC, and BL3 with the Fuster Cluck, Bounty of Blood and Handsome Jackpot DLCs

The gunplay is better in 2 and on BUUUT 1 is vry good and the characters are awesome

U dnt need to play it like I never did at first, it's sorta loosely connected by just the fact that ur all vault hunters and Marcus drives you at the beginning

I'd go for the first one and get the enhanced edition. It's my favorite, even if it was less than 2. It's a classically good game, and the charm is what made everyone fall in love with it.

I've seen like 40 minutes of bl1 game play whereas I've beaten bl2 many times. The games all take place in the same universe and generally follow the same characters but each has it's own self contained story (if you even pay attention to it)

I can sometimes feel similar for some time about video games. I also really enjoy gaming and sometimes switch to focus on tabletop games (board games, D&D, wargames, CCGs, etc). It can get you to meet new people and be a bit more social and definitely scratches some similar itches. Board games have come a LONG way from monopoly and risk. Many, in my opinion, can provide wonderfully rich experiences. I can give several recommendations but boardgamegeek.com is a wonderful resource if you are trying to get into the hobby.

While Borderlands is a good game, Borderlands 2 is much better, I would recommend playing through all of BL2, and if you like that a lot, then you might think of BL1. There is not enough plot points missing form the first game that you will feel lost in the second game. Make sure to try out the BL2 DLC tha is all includied in the handome edition, it is really good, and has really good loot.

not really. you could watch a quick recap on youtube or something. the first one really was just kind of a disjoined collection of stories. even at the beginning of two they give you a recap of one that honestly is probably good enough. there's just some characters that pop up that you are supposed to recognize but many of their personalities are kind of new for two and really weren't fleshed out in 1 anyways.

Nope, you'll be good. It wouldn't hurt to watch a quick summary of the first one though. The second is one of the funniest games of all time. Tina is very likely going to be your favorite character. Idk if the dungeons and dragons DLC is included (I'd hope so at this point), but make sure to play it. That is one of the few DLCs I've ever bought that I felt was well worth the money.

You don't really have to. There's going to be characters and references from the first game you might miss, but who plays BL for the story anyway.

It's worth a playthrough though just because the classes feel different.
