    Since the game isn't terribly hard, I was thinking of doing a "pointless" playthrough - no action skill, no skill points spent.

    Arguably should be done with 0, but of all the.classes, which would be easiest?

    Main difference, really, is the available class mods, unless the varying height of the characters matters.

    I remember doing some FPS Classic challenge with a friend of mine in BL1. I think it was no talents and no shields. Can't remember the rest since we were pretty drunk but it was interesting.

    You can also use the difficulty slider to make the game think there are 4 players in your solo game. I've done it for a while and it's quite a challenge.

    The size of the characters actually does matter. At least, it did in Borderlands the first. Brick has a massive hitbox, so his extra health pool kinda ends up being useless. Lilith's hitbox is tiny, so enemies barely ever hit her.

    What I'd recommend as a challenge run idea...

    "Vanilla" Run: Only lobbed grenade mods, and do not spend skill points outside of the action skill. Leaving out all skill points is a recipe for making the game extremely boring, rather than extremely hard. You could also try...
    - No elemental effects allowed. Explosive is okay, but only launchers and torgue guns.
    - ONLY rocket launchers and grenades and melee attacks. This actually sounds hilarious. Obviously, you can do whatever you want until rockets go on sale and you get a dropped rocket launcher. If you run out of ammo... you missed the point of the run.
    - No shield: Enough said. No shield. Salvador is mandatory for the health regen I'd think.

    No need for being strictly formal on a message board, right?

    The white items challenge sounds reasonable, actually.

    Have to do a lot of shopping...
