Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Vader could be good, but not how it probably will be

Star wars isn't horror, Darth Vader himself isn't particularly scary. I like to think there's a way they COULD make it fit the vibe though. Because when I think Vader, I think of that scene where the rebels are terrified as they just hear his breathing before the lightsaber turns on and is the only source of illumination before he slaughters them all.

That makes me imagine that stealth Vader could go kind of hard. Having to keep an eye out for the glow of a lightsaber, ear out for the mechanical breathing over unsettlingly quiet steps, try to keep your head on a swivel so you don't get force yanked off a generator. Imagine the shock of stealth wesker Rush-Snatching the person who was healing you, but they just get Scruffed by the Force.

Meanwhile what we're probably gonna get is insta down gunslinger but its the force. I just really hope that the Devs don't loose sight of this being a HORROR game. Occasional silliness with Naughty Bear or Nick Cage is great because they still have roots that work for the game, but there NEEDS to be some level of fear involved otherwise I loose all interest.
