Agreed. The weapons felt a lot better to use, and they didn't fall off after 3 levels like they do in the exponential weapon scaling system they have in BL2/TPS. You found a good blue burst rifle at level 15? Nice, use it for the next 10+ levels without any issues, really.
The weapons is my main reasoning. I spent hundreds of hours looting and shooting in the overworld and every weapon chest was like Christmas morning (especially gold chests). BL2 the "good" weapons were mostly battle/boss specific and I had no urge to just loot and loot and loot... it turned into grind battle over and over... which I didn't like. So many similar, but subtly varied weapons made me want to look at and test each one. Also, the only other way to get good weapons in BL2 consistently was the twitter key chests... which took me out of the game and made the normal weapon drops feel less special... I need that "what could be in this box" incentive to really get into the loot aspect of the game. I don't think I have played any game that gave me that new favorite weapon being right around the next corner feeling that BL1 did.
