a lil tidbit on that "graveyard" bug that's been killing saves on XBL
The reason for this is because modders cracked open their save files and found a flag for abandoned code that Gearbox left in there, thinking no one would be insane enough to activate it (typically anyway, a la Hot Coffee in GTA).
The flag activates a Badass Mode that seems like it was supposed to function like Hardcore mode in Diablo, where death = permanent death, which is why the game goes into free-roam camera when you fail to revive, and your character goes away and the game creates a [graveyard.sav] (like the bones file in NetHack). Either Gearbox scrapped this to put into DLC for later, or they just abandoned the idea, because the code in the save file is probably incomplete because it spreads to other save files (probably because Badass characters weren't meant to mingle with normal characters) and because there's nothing to say that you're in badass mode and whatnot unless you look in the save file code, and there's no safeguards against it.
All it is is just modders messing with code they didn't know would turn out to destroy things.

LOL at the game mode. This game would be impossible to beat without dying.Comment

Dead Space 2 didn't have the randomness of BL2, and you could take your time through much of the game. Your save wasn't automatically fucked if you did happen to die as well.Comment

"Where Angels Fear To Tread" is hard as nails if you aren't spec'd/gear'd to the gills and aren't aware of all the bad shit that follows.
I can't see soloing it without dying once unless you overlevel beforehand.Comment
