Can I play Borderlands 2 GOTY with a vanilla disc after installing DLC?
tl;dr: Playing Borderlands 2 GOTY DLC with a Borderlands 2 (vanilla) disc seems to work ok. Can anyone confirm?
I have a copy of the Borderlands 2 GOTY Edition as well as a Borderlands 2 (vanilla) disc. I installed the GOTY DLC and played for a few hours, then I realized I had put the Borderlands 2 (vanilla) disk into the Xbox 360 after installing the GOTY DLC and not the GOTY disc 1.
Is the GOTY disc 1 the same as the vanilla disc?
Can anyone else confirm this behavior? Are there problems later on in the game?
Best Answer
I can't confirm this will work from experimentation with those exact discs, but I can be pretty confident that everything should be fine.
Given that the DLC is designed to work with the base game, it would be extremely strange for a different version of the base game to be shipped with the DLC.
I've had plenty of other games that came in a 2-disc set with DLC on the second disc, and those were all completely compatible with the original disc.
If they weren't compatible, it's doubtful that the game would have launched at all.

Can Borderlands 2 play with Borderlands 2 GOTY?
Yes, you should be able to play cooperatively with your friend, bearing in mind that lacking the DLC, your friend probably can't join you in any DLC areas (Tiny Tina's, Mr. Torgue's, Sir Hammerlock's, Captain Scarlet).Is Borderlands 2 GOTY backwards compatible?
Was this reply helpful? The first game of the Borderlands does not have the backward compatibility only the 2 and the pre-sequels. The DLC is not all backwards compatible.Does Borderlands 2 GOTY come with all DLC?
NOTE: The GOTY Edition does not contain any of the content released after its announcement, including any Head Hunter DLCs and the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack Two: Digistruct Peak Challenge.Can you redo DLC Borderlands 2?
Yes and no, you can but only if you reset an ultimate vault hunter mode playthrough. You can do this by selecting a character and it should show you an option to reset before you pick the playthrough (Normal/True/Ultimate). Do note that this resets everything though. You can reset quests with a save editor.A Few \
