Weird, I was the complete opposite. The wide open spaces left me wanting to explore every single inch of the game, although the game did kind of get monotonous when working towards the platinum.

Yeah, I'm having fun with the game, too, and not worrying about the trophies yet.

I am trying to do both the challenges are a pain in the ass and will take some time which is why I was asking.

What do you mean?  You only have to do all level 1 non-level specific challenges.  I only have 2 left, win a duel and find jimmy jenkins.  Most of them come pretty easy, and the only ones I found a little annoying were the getting a second win via shock/corrosive damage.

I guess I got lucky in already finding Jimmy Jenkins...

Any luck finding a purple relic?

You know on psnprofiles you can enter a psn username and update as often as you like right? And they list by most recently played too so everything you need should be on that site. The once a week update is just the auto update. 

Yeah, apparently he's just random like a couple of the other things.

I haven't yet, but I do still currently have 4 gold keys.  Worst case, maybe one shows up when I eventually use those.

I'll try that out tonight. Thanks.

just started vault hunter mode hopefully will reach level 50 before too long
