We get a heck of a lot of Jehovah’s Witness missionaries calling. In the past they would travel in pairs. Usually an old lady with a younger lady and now with a presumably married couple. They would always come very early in the morning when I had a long stressful evening. And always in the rain. It seemed very cynical. Most of the people living around here work shifts so waking people up to see an old lady getting wet is bound to be confusing and play on the natural desire to shelter people. I’ve been told not to let religious callers into the house so I always feel uncomfortable though I try to be polite. I know they feel the need to do it as part of their religious duty but with rare acceptions I never go for anything advertised like that. Their pamphlets also play on the fears of death and illness that the increasing aged population have in these parts.

When a Jehova witness comes to my door, I just tell him Hail Satan and close the door.

For any newer members who may not be familiar with me, I haven’t seen the last two prequel films. With that in mind, this may have been addressed in-universe or on this board somewhere. In the few screen-grabs and pics I’ve seen from the prequels, it looks like his helmet is a significant redesign from the original films. To echo a few others on here, I never noticed the differences from film to film on the OT. However, even for someone like me who isn’t terribly interested in the character, I immediately noticed a difference in the prequel version.

In Star Wars his helmet seemed to have more mass. It had much more visual weight. It was the helmet of a military general and had a used universe look consistent with the film. That seemed a little less so in Empire and Return, but the helmet still had weight.

In the pictures from the prequels, it looks to have less substance and appears more polished. I don’t mean polished as in shiny (it’s that as well), but polished as in being more of a stylized take on Vader as opposed to the actual mask. Maybe it works in motion or on film, but it just looks off to me.

And again, maybe this has been addressed and I’m just missing it. If he does make an appearance in Rogue One, I hope he looks period-correct.

Well, obviously. The helmet in ROTS is like version 0.8.5 and it’s like 10 minutes old.

Automatron, Far Harbor and Nuka World = gut DLC
The rest = We have mods for this. Nice try bethesda.

Pretty much. It seems like now that mods exist for console, they’re just going to let modders continue their game. They don’t have to make any more content, they can step back and let modders do the work.

I meant that Wasteland Workshop and the other upcoming DLC are just something we could make ourselves.
