When we asked Burch how important the narrative was in Borderlands 2, he told us that it's a "huge, huge, huge focus. I haven't even done the math from how much more dialog there is from the first game to the second, but there's at least, what, six times more? Ten times more?"
He explained that this was based on player feedback from the first game. Fans applauded the multiplayer, he explained, but felt that the singleplayer was somewhat empty. "There were characters, and there were cool moments, but it wasn't quite conveyed through dialog or the world itself. A lot of it was coming from the text you read before and after missions," he said. "So we've done a whole lot of work to integrate what you're doing with the missions into the story, and to have a lot of new characters talk to you, and to have a lot of new characters return.)
