    I just started playing Borderlands, after it was over 1 year in my Steam collection untouched. I mainly tried it to see what the fuss was about Borderlands 2… It turns out B1 is a very nice game and I’m already 8 hours into it. But my gaming mouse doesn’t scale resolution to the gun aiming, -- when I click my mouse for lower dpi settings Borderlands seems to adjust the cursor aim to the lower dpi setting automatically, - thus I don’t get precise aiming for head shots which are very important for critical hits. Anybody know a way around this?

    I should have bought Borderlands 2 when it was $19 though.

    Have you turned off auto aim? Your description doesn't fit auto aim perfectly, but it does mess with aiming pretty horrendously and it is turned on by default.

    I'll try resetting auto aim off to see if that works.

    I'm playing Lilith which seems to be a very interesting character.
