These things were pure joy to control and they react just as I'd expect a hovercraft to drive. My only complaint about the sand skiff is that it isn't available from the Catch-A-Ride stations in the rest of the game. He/she uses these speakers to have schizophrenic conversations with the deceased former Oasis residents where both sides of dialogue are performed by Shade, albeit very poorly. In order to get a working sand skiff, you must scour the town of Oasis for parts that are being held by a gruesome group of corpses that Shade has set up to appear alive using rope and implanted speakers on their bodies. I guess we'll find out if Disney brings a lawsuit against 2K and Gearbox in the next few months. In this game they are called sand skiffs, which may very well be what they were called in Return of the Jedi, too. In order to get around Oasis and the surrounding areas, Gearbox created an extremely fun new mode of transportation that will remind anyone - except my ex-girlfriend Dana who never saw Star Wars - of Jabba the Hutt's smaller form of desert transportation.
This is somewhat akin to the main story of Borderlands 1 where a vault of unspeakable amounts of treasure are hidden with the small difference of this loot being closer to One Eyed Willy's secret stash than of a bunch of alien Goonies. Once that mission is completed, you are introduced to the sea dog namesake of this DLC. This particular pirate happens to be named Captain Scarlett and she needs your help to track down the long-deceased Captain Blade's lost treasure. Thompson - with clearing the town of pirates. Upon arriving in Oasis (you can fast travel there once your character has hit level 15 or higher), you are tasked by an androgynous local named Shade - who looks suspiciously like Hunter S. Today, it's nothing but sand and rocks as far as the eye can see. However, there are remnants of those bygone salad days in the town's name, Oasis. There are references to the gaming area where Captain Scarlett's action takes place having once been an ocean, but that body of water is long gone.
Yes, there are pirates in the desert, at least in Gearbox's world of Pandora.
