Rather than being pleased I found myself quite depressed! Killed the big baddie and handed in the key. And now what? I'm level 36, but I've seen that some people are level 50+ – how?
I've realised that I've not earned all the medals – obviously I've been to methodical and not gone around causing mayhem and killing more people, spiderants, and opening more boxes, etc, etc, etc. How can I have missed out on so many medla when I have killed most things in front of me and have been everywhere, and opened as many chests as I can as I've followed the story line?
So, what's the next stage for a Borderlands fan?
- Can I play it again with the same character; at the same level that I am now, but face tougher opponents early on?
- Do I change character and try someone else? And would that start me from level 1 again?
- Go online and have done with single player?
- Buy bad company 2 or Dirt2?
Many thanks for any pearls of wisdom.
Mike.

Now that you have finished the game the first time you will have the option to restart the game with that character as they currently are and start a Play Through 2. The story is the same just with tougher bad guys. After the character selection you will be asked to choose play through 1 or play through 2.
There is currently a 2.5 play through mode too, in which once you reach the Big Bad in Play Through 2 all mobs will be level 48-51.
The 2.5 mode will be made redundant by patch 1.4.1 which will scale the game to your level rather than have fixed levels. (1.4.1 will also add 8 levels to the game, raiding the non DLC-3 max to 58 and the DLC 3 max to 69.)
New characters start at level 1, on the bus. If you are looking to get all the achievements you will need to level all 4 at least high enough to get 15 kills with each of their special powers (though the Lilith achievement only requires 1 kill).
Playing Borderlands on line, with friends is a lot more fun than solo Borderlands.
