Borderlands 2 - Preview, Mechromancer DLC Details

Edge Online serves up a preview of Borderlands 2:

We’ve elected to play as Maya of the Siren class. She possesses a Phaselock special ability, trapping a single enemy in a hovering vortex so they can be used as target practice; think Mass Effect 3’s Singularity biotic power. The section we’re playing takes place in the midsection of an adventure Gearbox VP Steve Gibson tells us will last roughly 60 hours should you choose to rinse all the side quests.

...while IGN talks about the Mechromancer DLC:

It’s easy to understand why the Gearbox co-founder really digs Borderlands 2’s first DLC character, Mechromancer, first revealed at Pax East in April. She’s a gadget fanatic, a maker of things, pulling together the usual lawless-land detritus to fashion useful stuff, like a killer robot called Death Trap (D374-TP).

Clearing the computer gear out of our way, Pitchford explains, “The idea behind her is that she's really good with technology and good with equipment and machinery and stuff.”

Lugging the box and the cables to a spare corner of his office, he adds, “She's built this horrific giant robot that's called Death Trap. She can digistruct it into existence wherever she is, and send it to do stuff. Death Trap's kind of like this crazy pet for this little girl that's survived out in the wasteland.”
