He’s big, bad, and accidentally bisexual….

The majority of his skill tree improves the amount of damage he and his deploy-able turret does, as well as reload speed, and other supplementary perks. Axton is one of six playable characters in Borderlands 2 and pretty much falls into a more Call of Duty-esque play style. I’d say he was a step in the right direction during the time of the game’s release.Īxton’s sexuality is a short but sweet story that shows what happens when a developer runs with an idea and refuses to let the gaming haters stop it. I appreciate the the layers that this minor character has, and the fact that he wasn’t presented as obviously gay. Although it is regrettable that he fell into the “evil gay” character that seems to happen fairly often. Instead of trying to use his great wealth and influence to enact a change of hearts and minds within Damascus, he chose to punish the people with death.Ību’l is a very interesting character, and deeper than you may think upon a first play through of the game. Those who remain are ordered to be killed with a down pour of arrows from Abu’l Nuquod’s guards. Moments after the fist cup of wine is drank bodies begin to fall as they convulse and foam from the mouth. That’s when he decides to throw a party for the city where all are invited, supplying them with food and wine. He’s lured in by the Templar’s goal for world peace not and while with the order he becomes over whelmed with the idea that he cannot be touched anyone who opposes him. However, his actions are what condemn him in the eyes of (video game) history. Everything I’ve told you so thus far simply paints him as a man who has chosen to speak out against the people and Gods who despise him. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s talk about his moral ambiguity. However, when brought together and put on display in 1191, it seems to send a pretty strong message. He refuses to pay service to a God that calls him an abomination once again, by itself it doesn’t mean much. But I believe the strongest evidence lies in what he says once you’ve assassinated him. When taken independently and at face value this doesn’t add up to much, but added with the context of his speech, it may prove that he is hated and ridiculed for being gay. While with his guard he places his hand upon his arm and looks longingly at him for a few moments too long. Throughout the speech he speaks of the people who judge him for his very nature and begins to walk to his guard. These words mean nothing to any you!… So I’ve pledged myself to another cause… One which all people may live side by side, In peace.” Abu’l Nuqoud is a Templar in Damascus during 1191, and while there isn’t a neon sign pointing to him saying he’s gay, it definitely doesn’t take much to connect those dots.ĭuring the speech leading up to his assassination he speaks of being shunned and hated for simply being different, but what’s different about him? He’s simply fat, until you begin reading into his words and actions.

Our first person is a very morally grey individual with an admirable goal in sight, but the methods he employs in pursuit of it are very wrong. “You cannot stop us, we will have our New World.”
