Wait, what's a pre-sequel? That sounds like the one that comes before the second, which is just the first, isn't it?
I think I'm missing something here.
Oh, no, wait! Is it the one that comes after the first, but before the second?

Okay, so, that's what it is. Also, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is actually its own game. Neat!
Congratulations, you have just met the quality of writing in Borderlands. Everything is just a big joke. There's actually a character in Borderlands 2 whose upgrade tree is full of pony references, including "20% Cooler, The Stare, and Evil Enchantress."
Personally, I've got some gripes with the gameplay aspect, I don't think accuracy should be a bloody stat. Maybe different between companies, but there's nothing more aggravating than finding a gun by the same maker, with better stats, EXCEPT accuracy is 10 points lower. Damage doesn't mean crap if you can't hit anything. I like Destiny's handling of gun stats better where only damage and clip size scaled.
The story of Borderlands though is the mind killer. The story of a game is what keeps you playing, it hides the monotony. Borderlands openly jokes about how what you're doing is MMO level fetch quests, and that tends to make me go, "Oh, so I should play something with serious progression." I think I can manage to play for ... two hours at a time before Borderlands gets boring.
The character you're talking about is Gaige the Mechromancer. She specialises in using her robot Deathtrap as a form of both a defensive and offensive drone and provide utility to the team.
Accuracy is probably the stat people care for the least, unless you main Zer0 with sniper rifles. Most of the best guns in the game has piss poor accuracy, but makes up for it with damage, elemental bonuses etc. You rarely get into long range combat and even if so, you can easily close the distance.
