I could only really get into the Mech one, and it seemed pretty 
powerful, so I assume it's that.  Though I see people saying Zane if you 
have the DLCs, and he was my favorite of the other ones.  I didn't like 
it enough to bother with the DLCs though.

I feel like BL has been overdone at this point, and they loaded it up 
with MTX which is only likely to get worse, and am not planning on 
buying 4.
