The only way I can think of respawning enemies working in the game's favour is when there's a big open world to explore, something like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games or Skyrim. A world where I can stumble upon a group of bandits while exploring, and choose to either sneak around them or engage. The problem I had with Borderlands was that there was never anything that interesting to go off and see. Every cool thing with that game was scripted and tied into the boring story missions, and that game had one of the worst, most pointless stories of this console generation. You could walk around Pandora for hours, but you're never going to come across a random Skag King, or you'll never come across a cave, go inside it and find some really cool rare weapon, the best loot drops always came from completing some mission quest.
