Did we know that already though, that he found us fascinating due to what he did :?
You’re…

I’m saying Parvos is actually trying to get the corpus to improve
I think you’re kinda stretching it tbh to to fit the narrative of him being another us
he's not working for it himself
Which does not work with the timeline at all, even with time travel that’s not how that would work
Unless he’s a big bootstrap which I doubt
If he was a version of us why do what he did to us? Why do everything he has been doing?
If his origins in any way lie with being a bootstrapped version of us then he’s long forgotten and no longer is that version of us
I felt like that was obvious outside of the narrative, maybe you're right that the drfiter/operator aren't aware that they receive special attention from them, but that seems unlikely in my mind
there is an entire update called "the duviri paradox", I don't think it's a crazy stretch that there might be another big one
I mean they are speaking to the Operator/Drifter so
Makes sense, it also further hammers home why he’s fascinated by us and his potential motive for why he split us, which we didn’t know
I’d rather he’s not a bootstrap, as much as I love them they’re
Tricky and can be unsatisfying for something like this
Wally just being a bootstrap would be unsatisfying, a mind bending experience for some sure but
Unsatisfying
We also know they’ll be keeping his origins a mystery
Also another major issue here is that Wally isn’t human, the tenno are
I’m also just not seeing how a bootstrap would really work with him at all
I also feel that although it's contrived, using a version of our character draws direct parallels and a sharper contrast narratively to the effects of indifference
we know that?
Yes
The tenno are human, just more because of our piece of Wally
Wally has never shown to be human, he can be anyone, any shape and in multiple places
oh no, I know tenno are human, I meant that wally is not
To imply he’s some changed version of ourselves relies on things we just don’t know about
~conceptual embodiment~
Him secretly being human once and oop conceptual embodiment is why he isn’t now is a cop out
it's a very weak paradox
It’s also just not what that does
It really is and if it was we would have seen it
If they do it now it’d feel like a retcon
We see the moment of the deal, we know the fate our ourselves and that there was only two
It’s a really weak psyche out to say “BUT ACTUALLY NUH UH”
the duviri paradox is just "operator helped drifter escape as thanks for helping in the new war which drifter hasn't done yet"
Operator helps Drifter so Drifter can help Operator so Operator can help Drifter so
Etc etc
the end is never the end is never the end is never the end...
If Wally was we would have seen it already
He also would have been able to just, save himself?? You can say oh he just forget but eh.
We’re on the Zariman
Wally crashes it
Deal happens and the split
Third hypothetical self somehow, someway becomes Wally
Somehow goes back in time without a defined shape or form
Meets Albrecht, finger cut, ftl travel achieved
And then all the way back to the Zariman
It would just be doing Drifter again but psyyyche they’re evil for. A reason
And also conceptual embodiment does something it’s never done before
And Wally goes back in time, somehow despite not having any reason to do so
It’s also implied in KIM convos he can only time travel via those who have interacted with him/the Void iirc, but he’d already be in there but at a point when Albrecht already had effected the void
The hypothetical paradox and timeline is falling apart
Yeah, no. The Indifference took on the appearance of Albrecht Entrati because Albrecht was the first physical being to enter the Void. The Indifference did not exist until Entrati entered the Void, but once he entered the Void, the Indifference always existed.
Welcome to an advanced understanding of timeless dimensions.
Yeah probably something along these lines, nowhere near close to him somehow being a version of us cause ???
We don’t know the exacts for Wally
But he ain’t us lol
We have likely influenced him to some degree! But that’s about it
In my opinion Drifter/Operator aren’t Wally in anyway
Drifter and Operator are more like their own Void entity “god” things, if that makes sense
With yareli prime’s design, does she have 3 tails or just the 1?
none, it's a skirt
It’s her skin/flesh if you want to be technical about it 🤓
We ain’t gods and neither is Wally
The Indifference reflects the person observing it. "Hey Kiddo" is a reflection of the Operator's appearance, "Wally" is a reflection of Albrecht Entrati.
Hi Roathe
it’s the warframe’s added sword-steel accessories if we’re being really technical. metal grown on by the helminth strain.
wasn’t rell the one who called him the man in the wall?
albrecht called him a few names but I thought wally was rell’s thing
"That man in the wall" was something Albrecht said, as I recall.
And on the Zariman, there's graffiti of multiple human arms and a human head trying to 'reach out' from a parallelogram that's obviously a section of wall in perspective.
So its not just Rell who saw it that way.
Tagfer, and the latest emphasis on family, has given me another perspective on what "Wally" is and why he interacts the way he does.
And why Roathe is not so far off on his theory that it's all a Conceptual Embodiment.
also the “hey kiddo” was part of wally toying with us, mocking us with the memories of the parents he killed. Similarly, he called albrecht “little bengal” as his parents would.
(there have been a few updates to Tagfer and the rest of the Cavia's dialog. Mostly Tagfer as far as I know.)
He called him that first, perceived him as such and then Rell saw that as well which likely further enforced it
What Wally is and how powerful he is seems to be based off of other’s perceptions and emotional responses
We call him a god and fear him as such and he shall be one
The one thing i hope happens is we find a connection in game to the mirror princess fable
Well. I think it's more that "Wally"... is literally Albrecht's brainchild. Albrecht is his 'parent' and never acted like a parent to him... so he's fumbling like an abandoned, poorly socialized child. All full of things it doesn't understand and doesn't have the tools to cope with, and no one who's willing to teach them.
Same
Because the one thing Albrecht consistently does, is run away from things he doesn't want to deal with.
That one was just to good to be forgotten in the arg
Ok but Albrecht didn’t fall in thinking of a baby
No ik but my point is he didnt fall in thinking of making him
The furthest influence Albrecht had in that moment was his thoughts when falling in and what Wally scoured from his mind
Yes
Conceptual embodiment
True; but the moment he did fall in, he separated the Void into "Himself" and "Not himself."
Himself and the other
Wally is a product of conceptual embodiment either way, at least in terms of influence
There’d a whole convo with Roathe about this lol
I think he might be a bit off still
I think, in the end, the way we deal with "The Indifference" is to get Albrecht to stop being so Albrecht, to connect with his family, and to accept that "Wally" is indeed himself, mirrored onto the Void.
he’s not a lost kid, not really.
he’s not gonna care if albrecht accepts him. not anymore.
Doesnt' act like a human child, no.
while it’s true that this started because of the conceptual embodiment of albrecht being abandoned before even being fully created, left with only his worst emotions, wally doesn’t want acceptance.
More do from how Albrecht viewed himself and his fear but yeah
Albrecht says himself, he saw himself as a void
Fell into the void
Made a void
and that’s all that wally saw, before the door closed on his finger.
I mean yeah the door closed
What he saw what a scared man running away
I used to think Wally’s initial meeting wasn’t malicious but
Bro was sucking up memories essentially
And grinning away
he wasn’t intentionally being malicious tho. he was trying to learn.
He was nothing and then a reflection of a man who saw himself as nothing, then hurt by that same man, his power used without his permission
We don’t know that actually
what reason would he have to be malicious? He was just created.
We don’t know
We also don’t actually know if he existed prior or not or to what degree
Assuming he was really created then and not just given shape
I need to find that one conversation with roathe where he talks about this whole thing
All we have of the event is Albrecht’s telling
And I can see the possible innocence of Wally but I’m unsure
Plot twist
Since warframe doesnt have aliens, wally is the remnant of the ascended humanity of another reality that lost themselves until albrecht reminded them
It does make sense that if he was nothing more than an innocent being in that moment that he’d learn and try to reach out
But he was made from Albrecht, influenced
It is still just his theory
He does raise many good points, but until we get a confirmation down the line, it remains a theory
And even if he was innocent that doesn’t really change much in the long run
He’s still done horrible things and Albrecht’s already at fault for him being an issue
Roathe talking about these theories more so prove DE is listening, but iirc there’s multiple theories and possibilities presented both from Roathe and the Drifter
I don't think wally is a god
But i also don't think he is merely conceptual embodyment
Which neither really know much more than the other on what Wally actually is
Only one has dealt with him and Drifter is often wrong about Wally (calling him a god)
Yup
yeah
ik
Like some descriptions and sentences in isleweaver give me pause on just accepting the ce theory
He’s def more than just ce
The stuff about previous heralds, and the temporal dust
But ce is responsible for how he is now, to some extent
Tbf we don’t know how busy he was after his meeting with Albrecht
simply conceptual embodiment wouldn’t just give him access to the insane power he does have
His timeline from what we know is
Wally and Albrecht meet
???
Zariman
It could, we don’t really know
It let Thrax control all of time in Duviri for instance
If the void just became the warp from 40k it could yeah
I’m unsure how limitless CE can really be beyond human emotions and concepts
Stuff in 40k usually runs out of control when enough people band together
Like orcs making scrap fly in space
And techpriests praying the error 404 away
Orcs when they believe they’re a tank or whatever
Ever seen a purple ork? 
No I don’t know anything about warhammer
well... this is a little different. thrax was created with duviri, designed to control it completely.
Oh oops inside joke because of ork logic
Noone's ever seen a purple ork so thar means purple is the stealthy color
Like red goes fast and stuff
LMAO that’s p good
Yeah the ruleset was kinda already there in a way
Ok but Drifter didn’t intentionally make Duviri
If one feared an eldritch being enough and was tossed into the void then boom, said being
but drifter knew thrax as "the king of duviri, the one who controls it" while wally was just created from albrecht's memories.
No? He took the memories after
We don’t know what exactly caused Wally to be
he took the memories before albrecht saw the clone.
This is the most we have on what went into him
I did see a terrible reflection. Of a man that did not exist. A brave and principled man about to make history. In truth, he was a Void himself. An outcast, a joke, a nothing.
?
I’m checking rn one sec
Yeah no Wally showed up as him first
The memory theft and Wally saying his childhood name came after
it was as he was falling, was it not?
"all these thoughts seemed to steal away from my mind like smoke through a vent."
the void stealing his memories
Oh yeah nvm
Idk if that was Wally but it may have just been the toll of the first conceptual embodiment
Keep in mind his presence there caused two things
Wally, to some unknown extent
And the Void having usable energy
it was the void, perhaps creating wally
that's what was going through his mind at the time.
We only know albrecht's pov
So after the bell falls we only have his recollections after he comes to
Which leaves a gap and thus the question of what wally is
"The wasted years had shown the Void to be just that. Nothing. No energy. No entanglement. No form. To space-faring ambitions, a dead end."
"I would dive into the depths myself to prove them all wrong."
It falls
Unknown ammount of time
He comes to describing his despondency at thinking of failure, notices wally, then notices smoke iirc
he wanted something from the void, and so he got it, just like cavalero wanted stronger guns and got incarnons.
he mentions thoughts being stolen as he falls.
after seeing wally, he also notices smoke coming from his head.
the entire time, memories and thoughts are being stolen. he escapes, leaving the conceptual embodiment that is wally incomplete.
So what I said lol
I mean yeah, he wanted it to be useful and he was desperate
He’s lucky it worked
Unlucky that something else was made OR he got the attention of something
Nope thats after
yeah. when I said "he took the memories" I meant that the void built him with albrecht's memories.
nope. look at my citation above.
from the time he's falling until he escapes, his memories and thoughts are being stolen, he just cuts it off early
over here @woven coyote
from fass
it's as he's falling, no?
I see it as the scenes in movies where people think they are falling but open their eyes and are on the ground already
oh maybe. so there's no quotes from him as he's falling then, just from him being on the ground.
Especially because of the part starting at "at once i realized..."
but still this is before he hears footsteps.
The new flare message implies that all (or most) of the protoframes were turned into the Warframes. Does that make Harrow's lore outdated since Lyon is clearly different from that kid?
It doesnt at all
Flare's message is only about them and temple
Doesn't Marie have something about wisp or smt?
Marie is aware of the original wisp. describes her as being nearby iirc
not physically but like. spiritually
They have the batches of the relevant frames but they dont grandfather paradox no
Marie is aware of the memories of wisp in her infestation
But she doesnt become the original wisp no
i mean, if flare is going to turn into a full temple, the other protos would eventually too, but there can be multiple copies of a warframe so
also there were tons of harrows.
Also most all get whablammed in the radwars.
Their transformations can complete yes but once again
They do not become the "original" frames
and yeah, the original warframes wouldve already been made
lyon is unrelated to rell's harrow, but somehow has something to do with rell.
Probably just the harrow strain and lizzie's mention of the infestations timeless awareness
he seems to regard rell as being holy, maybe because he defended the world from wally for so long?
Still not the harrow that becomes dust tho
Would you not consider Rell some form of Saint if you was a religious man and learned of him?
oh sure but he speaks of rell like a patron saint and studies the donda.
Flare is specifically the only proto to become the original frame
The others would all be lost after 18 or so radiation wars whereas Temple survives to the Night of the Naga drums via Comet IF Drifter helps
My thoughts are that because rell confined himself into harrow, the infested can pass it down to lyon via their mind shit
which is why...
wait idk if anyone's reached that conversation, and I've forgotten the number
but uh, see what lyon says when he talks about harrow
Maybe spoiler it just in case lol
KIM spoilers (because I cant remember how soon it is) ||Lyon felt the ending of Chains of Harrow, because both rell and harrow ceased to be as they were||
i really need to start up on the kim stuff again, when resetting you can pick and choose who gets reset right? so round table, hex, and triad can all be reset independant of eachother?
yeap
I hope nobody gifts me Uriel👀
he's not a hard farm homie just go for it
What are those flowers from the initial cutscene?
initial cutscene of old peace?
The cutscene when you start the game for the first time
just flowers
Wowzers
That initial cutscene was actually made by an outside studio, so it isn't really meant to be accurate or have lore drops
Oh. Okay.
Even that bubble mag does when catching bullets was only put in game after the community saw the trailer and liked it
So the devs put it in game
like the girl. she's a tenno, but she doesn't really matter.
she has no lore significance
might be you? maybe? won't be significant for a long time.
Unrelated to lore, but does anyone know what is the ost played during the ability showcase for Warframe?
The Somachord is the 10 year anniversary one
Do you know the exact name?
Or it just 10 year anniversary
"10th Anniversary Login Music" from Baro
It might be an actual track somewhere else though
so what did happen to Drifter's reality
I think Drifter has come to the conclusion that it's now been erased, and all that's left is their Zariman and Duviri
I guess my question is how that happened
stopped existing when they left it ig
how does making a pocket dimension in the void cause your reality to collapse
does eternalism just never work now because there can only be operator and drifter?
assuming that their reality otherwise follows the same timeline, perhaps him not being there for certain events caused issues that led to it collapsing. i assume ballas succeeding in TNW wouldve caused unforseen consequences beyond just losing the sun
drifter was the difference that created the one other reality. wally condensed every other version of teh operator into one person, so when drifter left their timeline, I guess the "anchor" of that timeline disappeared

hardmode vanguard
Most stupid challenge

Also this Xmas Roathe is enough
hmm. little hidden puzzles that you have to complete during the first 12 minutes to get a harder variant of the trauma manifestation
interesting
I hope DE stop doing this
Is this a thing?
No, just an idea
Ohh my bad
So if the infestation is originally from like 1997
What is the stuff the look like blue trees on derelicts?
earliest time its been known
No it much further back
i assume its another variation of the infestation
also infestation?
What strain
And why does it look like a plant so much
It’s unlike the other strains by a lot too
XX99 is much earlier iirc
its infesting, or attempting to infest, the arboriform in the derelicts
which is a plant thing
Mushroom too
afaik, the infestation isn't 100% confirmed to be there outside of the helminths that albrecht and roathe made
I heard that one of the Triad mentioned infested in their time, I could be wrong here too
Hmm, I mean I guess most of the infestation we see is composed of carrion and technology. We never really see infested plants. This is a good explanation
If xx99 already had infestation that’d be crazy. Arthur Morgan warframe would be possible
so does Entrati just have vials of helminth he's been using to make protos on him
like he brought "X" number of vials and has not replenished them
We don't know how many he has, or how many he's used
There could even be multiple ProtoExcaliburs running throughout time
I gues DE want's to leave that door open for now
So after the new Quest and taking what we know.
Is the operator truly inmortal or how does that work?
Can't wally just revive us?
After all he needs us
I think wally has given up on us
We did break the deal
we keep breaking the deal
But we are still useful, if what Roathe says about him is true
Acting as void conduits and all
i am hesitant to trust Roathe
Good, be hesitant.
i think he's wrong about The Indifference being purely a CE product
Hes worse than Albrecht's lies.
WTF i just realized that narrator in bg3 and Eleanor share a voice actor. How did i not notice it sooner
Eh, i fully think it is
They're like. 1 to 1 wdym 😭
i guess I can agree if you think the void and the indifference are the same thing
because I figure more that Albrecht taught the void how to think
Wait a minute if when we go into op mode using transference is just an astral projection or void ghost of ourselves then how did Ballas do what he did to us in the old war?
Trapping us within our own history
ever since Second Dream we are inside the warframes directly though
not just via Transference astral projection thing with the chair
sorry I mean War Within*
does this mean Post Old Peace, do the Tenno get put in somatic pods and won't leave until second dream quest?
like in old peace, we just interfact with the warframes directly, than some time between end of old peace and 2nd dream we're put in the somatic pods, is that directly after Old Peace with Margulis mind wiping us and sacrificing herself ?
directly after old peace, yes
she hides us away on lua, puts us in the second dream, and makes us forget
then she gets executed for it

The coastal villages of Wales around the winter holidays have a bizarre nighttime visitor: a grim skeletal horse who roams...
Happy Yule folks.
I need to get back into Warframe, perhaps Boxing Day.
I'm trying to clear up space due to my penchant of recording my play sessions.
If you think about it the operator experienced the third dream during the new war when being trapped in our history
We're the fourth dream. Dreamers. 
What would count as the fourth one?
Our very, existence.
We leave the game, and we do our real world stuff, but then we log back in, and dream a shared dream.
Oh my god your right
Nah real life is a dream too
And the real life of this real life is also a dream
And so on
Dream-ception
And then we dream in the real world. 
I'm annoyed I can't use my Star Trek Shitposting emotes here.
Yes
We don't go into like
Deep cryo sleep until after the night of Naga drums.
@void zinc yiss?
Anyone that's gotten far enough with Roathe know what to do with the 'anathema' impasse with him? I've already descended once. Is there a certain amount of times we're meant to do this before we can "unpause," or talk with him again? Or is this a wait-it-out situation?
i believe anathema means that you didn't get enough chemistry before you ran out of convos, so you're locked out until you reset
but i am not sure
Nah, Nelly says they’re us
When the Fragmented envoy appears
Neci Rusalka: [giggles] "My herald looked like you, once."
Neci Rusalka: "This is your future."
Neci Rusalka: "I have uses for dealbreakers."
Neci Rusalka: "How will I reassemble your pieces?"
I mean I still think this could refer to any humans he’s made a deal with, we know we weren’t the only one
Interesting. It says we're close, and that I have to disobey his orders and descend to get out of said impasse, which I've done already. I'd have thought it would've stated if there were no other options.
We also know only two of us made it out and all the other versions of us wouldn’t have had an opportunity to break the deal cause
They died
tbh i only know that anathema from like a week ago when people were intentionally not gaining chemistry with him
its possible that it will solve for you after more descendia runs
Got you. Will try that. Unfortunate that it's so vague, but I appreciate you for the advice.
Except he’s never made a deal with another that they know of other than Neci, who decidedly isn’t one, and the taunts have all been directed towards the Drifter and those they personally know
None of that says they are us tho
It says wally wants to make us like that, but not who the victims originally were
Looked like you is, imo, very far from were you
any human
This isn’t some eldritch unknowable entity that can barely differentiate between humans
two arms two legs a torso, perhaps a head
I think something says that the murmur was his attempt to make something more human, so maybe it's connected to that. Failed attempts or maybe he got bored and twisted them and whatnot
And then in the first place it relies on there being others who made a deal, broke it, got the consequences, and it just doesn’t come up that he’s been doing stuff with other people, and is instead randomly implied at the end of a boss fight and just not addressed
but we know he's made deals with people who arent us before tho
we dont know anyone who's broken their deals sure
but we know we're not the only deal makers out there
And whenever he does that has been directly presented to us, and been actually relevant
Lotus may or may not be one of them.
perhaps in its attempt to generate the human form, something that "looks like [us]", it got the murmur instead
intended vs actual outcome shit
I still hold an impossibly large amount of skepticism for this
The only clue we have is that she has seen the Man in the Wall once.
Which is like a nothingborgir, because yonta's also done that, and she's not made a deal
So... nothing for certain, thus "may or may not"
And Albrecht's seen a ton of wally, still no deals either
Yonta is a conceptual embodiement. She may not be capable of making a deal.
I mean, both yonta and us are void constructs
just different flavours of void constructs
And yeah, Albrecht definitely didn't make any deals. He was too busy acting like Dr. Frankenstein when his 'monster' awoke.
in her current state, yes
but iirc the line about her seeing wally could be about a memory of the previous Yonta or the current
Come to think of it, the entire metaplot of Warframe, around Wally and Albrecht... and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein... well.
actually yea, it should have been the live yonta
Operator makes one to save the Tenno. It’s a big deal. We break it and he gets annoyed and emphasises it, even bigger deal.
Baro made one for cross-platform, we get told straight up. It’s a big deal
Neci made one and becomes his opening into 1999 and vessel, we get told straight up. It’s a big deal
Some random other guys make their own. It isn’t actually addressed at all and there’s nothing even relevant to it in the content drop or afterwards except for that the bosses are them
because it was before the jump
hey guys i have a question regarding the lore of recent quest
can any of yall explain me what the 7 is in simple words?
i think i forgot 🥀
The Seven are seven executors who basically control the Orokin empire
the seven executors execute the will of the orokin emperors
(or do whatever the hell they want in absense of a specific will, apparently)
ballas is one of them
ohhh
are there any like, powerscales between them?
like, strong to weak sort of thing..
or are they all hold the same powers..
Just scheming immortal tirants
We have little info on most of them
Besides, when Orokin are just immortal most of them didn't really find a need to be directly physically capable
Tormis looked very muscled, but that could very well just be for appearance than actual functionality
Legit just playing Game of Thrones until the white walkers (sentients) came
If you mean like, political power, we don’t really get any specifics, but according to Roathe Ballas was one of the more influential ones and had made himself a kind of “first among equals” who took care of disagreements and internal issues (not as like a formal role he had though)
ohh
is it smth like space parliment?
ohh
lol i think i get it now
thank you for help
Ballas - Warframe project guy, Margulis’ lover and Tenno hater. Killed by us/Lotus
Karishh - Guy who liked food so much he got 12 external stomachs hovering around him. Killed by a Grendel when he started eating all the food in a city with a famine.
Nitokh - Roathe’s former lover and lord. The main woman who wanted to continue the war against the Sentient’s and backed the Anarchs, also the one with a confirmed plan to kill the rest of the Orokin to take over because she was bored
Avantus - Tried to escape a Tower that got infested, betrayed by subordinate and killed by Grineer
Tuvul - Guy who ran the Zariman projects because he was impatient with the Sentients. Killed by a Voruna after trying to Continuity into the Tenno operating her
Scarne - the guy responsible for the Void Towers and the main guy of the members of the 7 who wanted peace with the Sentients
Tormis - We got nothing other than that he was the one to visit Tau before they attacked
Hello tennos! Happy Holidays, i got a little confused about something related to the The Old Peace Lore. Everything on that quest is after the tenno makes the deal with Indiference and leaves the zariman/void, right?
Yes
It takes place during the middle of the Old War
Scarne sound like a nice guy /s
||what if this is true that Rothe is speaking that lotus is indeed being manipulated again||
Im tryna navigate marie rank5 convo1 flowchart, i am so lost in so many options
There is weight to his opinion. Since in lotus eaters, lotus herself already suggested that she will be targeted by wally, not to mention at the end of the kalymos sequence quest (i think?) where wally was plucking the petals of a lotus flower. Now adding to the fact that lotus’ voice was accompanied by wally’s voice saying “not yet” when operator was being dragged down into the waters the dark refractory in the old peace quest
I dont think wally's voice was overlaid with the lotus's in that scene
like that statement is already heralding fragmentation of the (in my honest opinion, asinine) theory that the Lotus made a deal with wally
Did the old peace ever give us any specifics of why uriel was “crucified” like that before we freed him?
Nope
its significantly closer to Albrecht's you are late than it is to anything else wally has ever done
wally does not have his own voice
and voidtongue has its own cadence
What about the many times he has spoken? Like his first debut in the new war, his introduction in the start of the kalymos sequence where the sanctum map tore open
Unless there is a distinction between wally and ‘the great indifference’ location
thats what I said
the voidtongue has its own cadence
wally has never spoken english in the voidtongue voice
What do you mean cadence
the monotone syllable by syllable
the only time we hear it in "english" is with albrecht
which means it aint wally
And ‘not yet’?
much closer to how albrecht did it
I swear if there comes a time where wally presses hard on lotus, all them folks are going to scream huzzah, as if wally hasnt taken time to break its victims down before moving to strike
Keep in mind that as a sentient, she is particularly vulnerable to the void compared to everyone else too
I'm breaking out the crackpot again
VOID BASED SENTIENT SENTIENCT RAAAAAAH
Yeah and she’s losing control of her circuits

can someone explain why the reason eudico is like that?
Protection
Unless you mean why she, specifically, is a redhead in which case that's probably because of genetics
The brain controls all internal organs necessary for survival. They replaced all their necessary organs with robotics
So the Head is the only thing they really need
And they keep that somewhere safe
Yet another reason why the Corpus are scumbags
This is life for the average person without the Empire
Seven above.
but why they decided to be like this? or it was just bcs ´´cool´´?
Because Nef Anyo is a slave driver and puts the Solaris into debt slavery where they are forced to sell or lose their organs if they don’t meet quotas
So they end up putting their heads in their chests because the rest of what would be their organs is robotics
TLDR: Nef is a scumbag

Dang, heavy back story. DE gotta make us kill that guy,revive and kill it again.
I'm not sure I fully understood the story of the new journey.
"average person"
- Sample size taken from a Corpus Debt colony
its like going to a war torn region and saying, oh the people are malnourished here, everyone else must be malnourished too!
The Empire, as I somehow have to reiterate again and again, had to go systemically
Whatever your views on it may be, it was better for the average civilian than the situation they are in now
hell no? Ask baro how it was like on his colony
how the skymen came and took whoever they wanted
they needed a whole rogue warframe to be kept safe
The GRINEER killed his family
Not the Orokin.
the GRINEER arent the skymen
I dont know how old you think Baro is but he is not old enough to have lived under anything but Grineer rule
Baro's Mother: "Long ago, the lands of our colony were cursed, they were soaked in fear. The Golden Skymen would come and take our children away. Young and old alike, cowered before them, afraid to lose their most beloved."
And as we are told by roathe
orokin taking bodies became the norm
you cannot argue that life was better under the empire for the average joe when the only samples we have of life under the empire, are absolutely horrible shit
like if there was an example of a colony where life was not shit for anyone who's skin wasnt shy of a blueberry sure, but we dont have that
Because there is not enough lore yet. As I said, I give the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. There are 9 planets in the solar system in addition to all of the various moons, there has to be at least one example of a decent colony under Orokin rule
I don’t extend the same to the Grineer and Corpus because we SEE in real time what they do
but as it stands, there isnt, you cannot argue for the decency of the orokin while standing on hypotheticals
you can only go "what if there was"
you cannot argue that life was certainly better under the empire, while there is no evidence of such
"We end as we begin" at the end of Whispers
And during the Zariman section of the Hex quest
you can hope maybe even speculate but you cannot definitively state
isnt that albrechts voice?
so like, back to what I said
You can hear the same Voidtongue voice over Albrecht's voice. And during the Zariman section he uses that voice over Rusalka's voice but speaks directly to you as Wally
hmm
that is true
regardless, its not an effect held only by wally
Yeah it's just a filter
It's also appears in the New War's deal scene "I can save them. All of them. But you have to WANT IT"
Ayo hold up there are 8 Pluto isn't a planet
Pluto is a planet
No it aint its a dwarf planet there's a difference
It’s not that it was necessarily under his rule, he just lived and worked there
lore-wise, what is deep/temporal archimedea?
temporal is you working with kaya to fix the timeline because looping that much causes damage
Also Teshins whole quote about the Yuvan Theatres
In the new war quest, how much time had passed between ballas kicking the operator into the void and drifters appearance?
deep is you running experiments against the murmur iirc
unknown, some theorise only a few months
Also also the fact that one of the Zariman tablets shows that kids getting taught they could just get picked for Continuity was normal
which one was that again?
- How should you prepare for Continuity, if chosen?
A. Exercise, bathe, and keep my body pure (correct)
B. This is too unlikely to be worth considering
yeesh
correct me if im wrong but the helminth is the thing that allowed albrecht to go back in time. if there was no helminth in xx99, how did albrecht go there, let alone be able to drag roathe?
Also according to roathe continuity was used on the battlefield
helminth let us go back
apparently albrecht had a whole timemachine
of which if you recall, he had loid smash
Nah he had his own thing
Remember the coffin looking thing he got into at the start of Whispers in the Walls?
It was that coffin loid smashed in the beginning of witw
ohhh i see. thanks!
There’s also
- What should one never do at a Serving of the Bitter Tea?
A. Break silence (correct)
B. Flinch, no matter how severe the pain
- What is your first priority if you are exposed to the Void?
A. Request the duty cephalon to seal off your environs (correct)
B. Call the Lorists, then immolate yourself at a thermo-cubicle
No
Yes.
Why do you want
Pluto to be a planet?
Also if Pluto was a planet we would have to like put at least 3 more other rocks as planets?
@thick yacht this sounds like when you do something a doctor tells you not to do.
ok?
You're wrong. Lmao. Wait I actually have something for this. Can I dm you? It's a song.
I don’t care what NASA thinks of the situation
NASA is a joke of an organization
Can’t even send people to the nearest celestial body
Pluto was widely considered a planet until 2006 and it’s reclassification makes no sense.
Are you trying to bait me or is your head just empty
I think you should cease saying this nonsense
okay
do you think sciencists can learn new stuff?
and thus change their opinon and what we know?
See, I would perhaps be willing to listen to your condescending comments if you were able to spell, but your lack of mastery of language puts me in doubt as to your ability to prove to me that a massive celestial body like Pluto is somehow not a planet, in ADDITION to the condescending nature thus described.
cuz your argument is one of stagnation and like "return to tradition" about something that is constantly changing and evolving.
also i have dyselxia like what do you want me to do?
Vinny be dylexic
Sudden silence, guessing busy
I am opening gifts
So I guessed correctly
Why doesnt it?
Other dwarf planets were discovered, and pluto's orbit is affected by objects entering it path
which was the one criteria that made pluto into a dwarf instead of just a planet
That’s called gravity
Objects pull other objects toward each other
yea and pluto's is not dominant in its region
which is why it failed the last criteria
You are banished to the Yuvarium I say
The orokin will find their empire in ruins before a drop of kuva exists in my presence
To the Empire
Daily reminder Pluto didn’t even complete a full rotation around the orbit when we discovered it as a planet (1930) and then declassified it (2006)
It will be 2178 by the time it finally does complete that rotation
It is no longer planet because it doesn’t follow the third rule of planets
It doesn’t clear its orbital neighborhood
It has debris all around its pathway
But it’s called a dwarf planet because it still
- Orbits the sun
- R o u n d
Basically
Uhhh
Rule 3 is like an expansion of rule 2
As a round planet is because it has enough mass for its gravity to sphere it
But the planet needs even more gravity to either absorb or kick away debris in its path, which Pluto cannot.
Pluto is extremely far away
It’s going to take longer than it does earth or mars
Hence why it is not a Planet, but it is still called a Dwarf Planet, for it meets two of the three criteria, but is simply “too small” for rule 3 to work
TLDR
“We grant you the title of planet but also of dwarf.”
“This is not fair!”
“Take a seat, Pluto.”
NASA had to add this change because overtime we began to ask
“Now hold on, why do we call these planets ‘dwarf planets’ again? Okay but doesn’t Pluto meet the same criteria?”
Ok I got a question about a warframe
Answer
So If warframes are people injected with the infested stran to be turned into a frame, and xaku is made up of 3 different frames then how was xaku made?
smush em togetehr
and then you take the result, and blam, you can make more
its like if you custom made a car from a kitbash assortment of car parts
and then someone comes along and decides to make your kitbashed car an actual production
Take all three frame samples
Blend them together in the Entrati blender 9000
And inject it into someone
Hope they don’t explode
Does that mean xaku is frankensteined
in a sense?
There were 3 warframes, all in service to the Entrati, some void experiment went wrong and the 3 frames got blendered into Xaku
👀 where the heck can I find that out?
Iirc Grandmother says so
Oh
As for why we can build Xaku the way they are now, well eternalism and infestation shenanigananery
I dont think theres any eternalism involved
Remember that Salad V tortured Valkyr so badly she retroactively changed how her strain worked
and the infestation shenaniganery isnt so bad
eh, I dont think thats the case
Salad V 🤣
Salad V stripped the kitty, but the kitty was always a spicy one
He looks like he needs a salad
Mans looks like he hasn't felt the warmth of Sol in decades
if anything salad made the kitty more mad, but she was always going to be mad
🤣
If he ever went to a beach, he would probably go looking for gold on it, when he's supposed to be getting tanned, lmfao
He'd experiment on the crabs, trying to turn them into gold
Too powerful
We all know crabs are the true final stage of evolution
They’re so powerful that we don’t have a Crab frame yet because the infestation cannot achieve such powerful might, yet
Either that, or it's because crab is too close to lobster and we already have a lobster frame
We do?
newish tenno here! got a question is the void (or whats in it) a reference to H:P lovecrafts cthulhu mythos? random ahh question but im assuming that whatever the man in the wall is, he aint a man (i have not done new war yet only everything before hand)
Sort of a community joke, but Trinity bears a distinct resemblance to 🦞
The man in the wall isn’t an outer god, while he is powerful his abilities are constrained and his physical form wasn’t made until albrecht entrati conceptually embodied his form. Before that the void was empty but if I remember correctly the man in the wall was still conscious in the empty void
He is best described as void entity
Wally is weird
''the man in the wall was still conscious in the empty void'' thats a bit spooky, also why does that jerk randomly jumpscare me
Because funny
i did the whole quest at like 2 am, it was not f u n per say
very good story tho!
Which quest did you do?
chains of harrow
They’re saving them for Tau’s greatest bosses and enemies
Hahahaha that one was scary
thank god im with new loka and not the red viel
is it veil?
Yes
Hmm
Crab Archon...
Almost. The conceptual embodiment bit is still a theory, it’s not confirmed, with DE leaning into the mystery of it even more now
are there like any story based videos going into deep dives of the void and the man in wall?
im very interested by this topic! even if its 4.30 am
The community normally gathers around StallordD for lore
Ew no we don't.
A lot of people do
Purple shard clearly
For that crit melee damage with those claws
Maybe not in here but the vast majority of Tenno do
i will check him out!
As far as I'm aware, none
More often than not, videos get filled with misunderstandings and straight headcanons
That are then presented as fact
I can't remember which loretuber that is but ever since that almost 6 hour video getting a tone of stuff wrong I'm weary on expecting anyone to get stuff right
zam that sucks a bloody lot mate
I know that one wasn't StallorD
“But but but Eternalism!”
“Eternalism this gun out of my hand then,”
Socratetris
And his attacks deal
Cold
Because Boreal took
Electric
i will check em out as well!
Also yes we probably will fight several hunhows in tau plus the worms we’ve heard of
Hunhow is litterally the size of like 13 railjacks too
My version: "Eternalism this arrow out of your head then."
Hunhow must show up and help us
He must reveal how powerful his farmer body is by picking up a sentient and throwing them like the bales of hay he moved
The one who managed to get Lorists, who are barely present and very straightforward, wrong somehow?
We'd need to get him out of Uranus first
But I agree, yes
Hunhow should come with us to Tau
The one who managed to confused Lotus and Margulis, yes
We should give him some of the Tower Kuva
Noooooooo this is actually a sin
Buddy
We still need to get to him first
“Grandpa, here’s your vitamin supplements.”
”I AM THE FARMER OF FARMERS!”
He got buried under several tons of rock and stuff back in Natah
Convince stalker to help us dig
Three warframes (Umbra, Stalker, Us using another) shoveling will be faster than one
Then maybe we'd get some proper Acolyte lore
Steve said he wanted a secret acolyte syndicate, but Rebeca is now the creative lead so who knows if we’ll ever get that
Dark souls invasions
remember we can just recruit an army of tenno to do it
Invasions would suck unless the invader was rewarded for doing enough damage vs failing the mission
I am guessing most of the community would not want DS style invasions.
or would never toggle that option on if it existed.
I’m assuming you’re referring to the scrapped stalker mode
was the jade that we were taking care of in jade shadows the original one? Who was taking control of it? Or was it like an umbra situation?
Yes
She calmed her Operator and didn’t need one
Not an Umbra situation, just a first gen frame
-# more detail in the memory feathers next to teshin in any relay
First gen were sapient but typically would go feral unless they had strong emotions keeping them sane (Kullervo, Jade, Stalker)
Second gen were piloted by tenno and were basically brain dead
Umbra was one of if not the last second gen frames made and utilizes a special bolt, constantly reliving one memory (similar instance of strong emotions keeping them more sane), he ofc did not have an Operator until us
so... a future jade prime wouldn't be the original?
would the jade prime still be pregnant 🤔
No, the original died and we made a perfect copy of her as we do with every other frame
I hypothesize that the one we make isn’t sapient due to the foundry possibly installing a typical transference bolt, hindering their sapience but that is unproven
Good question, probably yes though
I’m unsure but there could have been a Jade before. Well Jade
But it could just be they took her strain and improved upon it, and part of Ballas’ design was the unborn child so the infestation may replicate that
...so the baby would also be a prime? Would the prime baby also be like... A sibling to the baby that the stalker is taking care of?
Maybe and maybe
Issue is, the baby can only grow if Jade stays near completely still for well over a thousand years
How did Stalker become a Warframe? Or was he always one? Also, I assume the Chroma bossfight in that one quest is also a first gen frame?
Did you play Jade Shadows? That’s what its about lol
I did but have poor comprehension lmao
Jade: "You're going to be a father, Sorren."
Sorren: "But... the Legems! If the Lords found out-"
they were both turned into frames as punishment for their relationship
The Stalker had seeing Jade and the child (who he didn’t know had also been framed and development slowed) as his whole motivation and drive
And then the Night of the Naga Drums happened and he lost that
Cue roughly a thousand years later, the Tenno are coming back and causing trouble again, so Stalker, now seemingly without much memory of his life and family as Sorren, falls back on what were probably his previous duties and ideals as the reason for not liking us
More for having a baby but yeah
I was thinking something about jade lately, what if, jade was margulis friend, ballas made her to be an executor of her own friend, i finished the quests lately but this came to my mind, what if jade protected margulis soul on her now baby? is it possible?
jade nor margulis ever mention each other
so i'd say that's pretty unlikely
During the final scene of jade's quest when stalker picks up the baby to become protector stalker. Did he get the buff from jade or the baby?
hum, but they are in the same era if im not wrong
its jade's essence, i believe
same motes that parvos wanted to harvest for the jade eximus project
Orokin era lasted a while so that doesn’t really say much
alr I'll take your word for it. Makes the most sense anyway. ty
maybe the now dont mention each other because is lotus(natah) not the Real Margulis
we never talked to the real margulis
We literally did speak to the real Margulis many times
lotus is still aware of margulis's life, though, including her execution via jade light. "I will not let It devour one instant of my pain. Not even Ballas. Not even the Jade Light."
the jade light was given to jade, and she became an additional executioner. they're mostly separate concepts
most recent evidence of which being at the end of old peace
Even prior to that there’s the she spoke to us quote from TSD
yeah obviously
Players truly be not paying attention to the story
i’m just saying that’s a ridiculous thing to say when the most recent quest literally ends with us speaking to her
i mean speaking in a lot of details not just memories
Memories of actual events
memories is not the REAL thing, that's why maybe that it never mentioned anything
were we a significant person among the tenno? we created them, did we ever lead them or have a significant position among them?
She was literally our adoptive mother why wouldn’t your adoptive mother speak to you at all that’s not common sense at all
she was the adoptive mother of thousands of children tbf
there’s no way she talked with all of them that much
She probably found a way to get around
i think jade's memory feathers would at least allude to killing margulis if she was the one to do so
No
@fast dew
(Locate the eyes of Indifference) Neci Rusalka: "Tired of your human body? Want me to reshape it?"
Another
Here's a fun thing that occurred to me; Ivara's Leverian. Roathe. Executor Nitokh. And an Ascaris Prime.
Omg Wally can give me gender affirming care?! /j 
you're
going to need to elaborate a little on that one
It almost explains itself when you go through Ivara's Leverian. And realize that Roathe is a warframe with an Orokin face.
Roathe is not a Warframe. Uriel is
Ok no
Elaborate further, don’t just say it explains itself.
I mean he technically is, just an incomplete one
idk if you're trying to imply that roathe is the myrmidon or something
but roathe gets half-framed long after the ivara leverian would've taken place
I’m assuming they’re maybe referring to the myrmidon
Which
No that’s not Roathe, those were just jade light weapons
We are on the same page so much omg
yea lol
Great minds n all that lol
"There he stood: the Myrmidon. Slayer of Warframes. Naked. Beauty, symmetry, even the capacity for language, sacrificed for... raw power. But his face... his face was the mockery of an Orokin face: those she was sworn to never kill. The smirk on his pallid, angular visage told her he knew it as well."
"One of the Seven leaned forward, removing a curious thing from their slender head, a lattice of delicate silver, placing it on the elevated, chest-high curve of obsidian that separated her from them. Instantly the Myrmidon collapsed, lifeless, to the floor"
"the mockery of an Orokin face" means it was something artificial made to look like an Orokin face
"'The Secret History' tells us that the Myrmidon appeared boldly before the three, in a wide chamber connected by many tunnels. Clad in red-and-gold armor it gestured to the first Warframe with what Porvis describes as 'a strange clutching motion, as if seizing a falling apple'"
The Myrmidon is not Roathe
He even speaks about them in a vm iirc
The timeline also just does not work at all for Roathe being it, if he even could be which he isn’t
Speaking of the myrmidons I hope we see them at some point in game, they sound like fantastic enemies and or boss fights
ignoring the timeline discrepancy for a moment, roathe's armor is also being subsumed into him
can't clip it off to be "naked" like what happens to the myrmidon in the leverian
it would be cool, though they'd have to be nerfed. don't think 'insta-kill laser lmao' would go over very well
Myrmidon needs an appearance soon
Uriel is just sorta subsuming his armor and clothing with no regard for incorporating it into the mutation (which is fitting, cause like, it's Uriel)
It could work in a story quest but for actual gameplay? Yeahh, def needs a touch up
Though if they just shoot jade light beams they can just use what we already have, just directional and not just vertical lol
true, either of those would work
*Roathe
But yeah the helminth serum is taking all of that old body of his
I'm talking about the Uriel mutation just fully consuming Roathe's armor
"his" is Roathe
Oooh yes yes lol
Bro gettin consumed
yeah it's not like his armor is being twisted into a Uriel-esque shape, Uriel is just eating it up and going "no, only me"
I kinda love how much everyone seems to just hate Uriel, and that Uriel seems to reciprocate it
A friend of mine made art of him that looked like a what if it progressed further (which ofc it will)
I love Uriel
I have mixed feelings on Roache
Maybe Necramech vs Myrmidon?
Roathe is cool, I love a guard dog x master toxic dynamic
Myrmidon is Arquebex Prime
oo that would also be cool
maybe that's where the exalted necramech frame is,,
To the Empire

Lmao
I'm not huge on personally using the protoframe skins tho, but I wish I could have Roathe's armor with Uriel
My drifter will single-handedly fight to deliver Roathe back his Empire
Why
She is down bad for him
So he can kill everyone in charge and become a corrupt leader lol
worth it for hot evil bestial boyfriend
Nah
Perpetuating the empire, which was a major part of the problem, should not be done
If he told her to kill Loid she’d think about it for like 2 seconds and then probably do it

cringe

i feel like you've intentionally missed 80% of roathe's characterization
She just likes a pretty face
Bro can yap about whatever he wants
Ballas was cute too, but he was too crazy so it just got off putting tbh

so you are ignoring roach talking about how much the orokin deserved what the tenno did
We are only worried about the face card here sir
But no I’m not
Also speaking of Orokin
Why is corpus and Grineer architecture so ugly
🗿
I mean I wouldn’t say Corpus is ugly
because it's made to be practical
Largely bland maybe, but it’s not like it’s far from a typical space sci-fi aesthetic for the most part
Tbh i think aesthetics is a part of that

If it’s ugly it doesn’t do good for morale
no
Fight for beauty
🗿
aesthetics is objectively the opposite of practicality
that's the point lmao
crush the spirit entirely and they won't fight against you
you could say its... corporate
nah, the crewmen can still find places to sit
🗿
🗿
OH NO
An opinion!
ok 👍
Every time I give my opinions like 5 of you people come after me so…
a contrasting one at that
Cause your opinions consist of basically saying the Orokin did nothing wrong, that’s not an opinion that’s just incorrect
because your opinions are scorching takes
dont they just attach themselves to walls
there are lots of places to rest on, i havent seen any benches though
The Grineer do have an aesthetic
Unfortunately that aesthetic is spartan and brutalist industrial vibe with a side of lots of grease, various forms of pollution and cheap, mass-churned out materials/components
they sit on boxes sometimes
You clearly also do ignore the point of Roathe’s story considering your ideals don’t match with what he tells you lmao
I never said the Orokin did nothing wrong, I just like the Orokin
just like the grineer themselves
You think they’re undeserving of what befell them
Which they
Absolutely deserved it
futuristic diesel/chem punk
dont think we need anti homeless crates
When a member of that exact society is even saying it I feel you miss the point.
Don’t give Nef any(o) ideas
Well clearly neither of us are ever going to change our minds on it so it’s not really conducive to keep going on, is it. We are entitled to our views
clearly
You think the child murdering war crime committing tyrants don’t deserve death
your view is actively opposing roach's
i am so hungry i could eat an orokin
For the last time I don’t think the entirety of the Orokin deserve death correct
I will stand on this hill
yea
Grendel has entered the chat
When they all killed children to live longer, yeah no they do
Let alone the countless other crimes they committed
With a complete lack of any evidence of a good Orokin existing
Except you have no base for it, other than Roathe’s own cope during his grapple with morality and the fact that they were better at one point and surely can’t all be so bad
I don't mean this as an insult, you are on track of being the world's first manipulative bottom
When even Roathe is saying they deserved it and worse I’m fairly certain you’re missing the point
Well until enough lore is released to conclusively show the entire Orokin society and Empire as being unworthy of redemption, I won’t advocate for their deaths. You all can, that’s your prerogative, but I won’t
i thought the word for that is "class traitor"
...they started a war. because they were bored.
the devils advocate is strong with this one
Yes, some of them could have changed, but this was a rot that went down to the very roots of their society and culture. No matter how many were preserved, there’d still be some degree of the conflict that happened
incorrect usage of the term, actually! ☝️ 🤓
Is murdering children for purely selfish reasons not enough???
Then you will advocate for that until the day the servers close down, because we are never going to get that
well yea im not talking about roathe
devil's advocate roughly means representing views that you are opposed to in order to form a better opinion
Clearly some Orokin are capable of redemption, once entirely separated from the toxic empire, culture and system they themsevles built
So… I don’t mean this in a rude way, but like if you couldn’t convince me by trying to cite pieces of lore, you’ll do even less by calling me names.
I'm not. I thought I clarified that
If we can’t convince you by citing lore then the game won’t ever convince you.
wait should we not eat the rich?
are marie and loathe from like 1999 or smth like that and entrati just asked them to not make roathe lonley
The game makes it very obvious how terrible the empire and the Orokin were, now more than ever with Roache
Some people are afraid of the reading comprehension devil
Marie and Lyon are from xx99 (likely 1899)
Roathe is from the Origin System before the collapse
marie and lyon are from XX99, roathe was dropped there
they'll talk more about this in their chats
Roathe?!?
We should and I will
Grendel did it RIGHT with Karrish
actually hold on this situation makes roathe's "reading comprehension these days" so much funnier
judging by people building Uriel with summoner's wrath - yes
Why did we get sentient bones I want orokin bones smh
Chainsawman 
I'd think the civilization whose definition of immortality is to transfer consciousness into children should go the way of the dodo, but what can I say
Some orokin were better than others. The ceremony was culturally normalized into being an act of self preservation. I think some orokin would be kind, nice or respectful outside of that. But the desensitized nature of the yuvan theater sort of makes it hard to call them pure or selfless
The Orokin are not in the present game. The Orokin are not in the future of the game. The Orokin are the game’s background, from the past.
We are never going to get an entire conclusive view of the entirety of Orokin society with all it’s strata and flaws and whatever redeeming qualities there might be because the Orokin are a setpiece or a driving force for the plot. The setting itself has moved on from them and aside from points like Old Peace where we get an actual significant flashback we are never going to get all that much in-depth detail, because DE aren’t the kind of devs to have big, sweeping lore tabs that paint the past of the world and all it’s minutiae to such an extensive degree
so like pre perita or just pre warframe killing every orokin
I believe post perita and def pre night of the naga drums
I believe his chats paint a good picture if you ask him about it
Well you specifically can’t convince me because I’m pretty sure we disagree on matters far deeper than just lore judging by how you seem to view people who are wealthy based on prior statements
...except "you're welcome"?
It’s not even about them being “unworthy of redemption”. The issue is caste-wide redemption is an entirely unfeasible concept to begin with in the actual circumstances of the setting
How am I class traitor lol?
It was a joke, it wasn't really aimed at you
there's a pretty big difference between standard wealth and the wealth that she keeps comparing to the orokin
I barely participate in this convo, I'm not mentally stable enough for this
Oh no
I hate billionaires!
???
Of course it’d be better for them to not die and become better people instead, but to do that on any remotely significant scale isn’t a realistic expectation at that point in general, let alone the specific circumstances and upbringing of all the involved characters
But I do also think orokin deserved what they got, regardless if they were capable of redemption or not. Remorse won't make up for a system they upheld
Unless they took action
It was too late though, for any of them
As far as we know at least
Ok? You can be a billionaire that doesn’t mean you deserve death lmao
No such thing as a good billionaire but okay
If someone is rich so be it
I want to say something funny but I don't think I will
Not even true
Okay now I want to say something not very funny but I also won't
You don’t have that much money being kind
The world is not kind
I won’t bring the real world into this but think of the first billionaire you can think of
You'd think of some fringe case of a "noble descendant of an orokin who can see beside the system they were born in"
No, nope. Someone just hijacked that child.
Doesn’t mean you have to be awful lol
Oprah Winfrey
Idk enough about her to really say
But I thought of two specific ones who are exclusively terrible
You could be a good person, but ultimately the money is likely sourced from suffering
There’s a difference between people who are wealthy and the 1%
Know the difference
Yes exactly this thank you
actually, empathy is the default in most even slightly intelligent species
^^^
the people trying to make you think greed and cruelty is normal are the exceptions
And the problems
Without going into specifics, my family (specifically my parents) would be considered in the 1% of earners in my country, that doesn’t make them bad, nor does it make me bad for being their child. My parents are loving, caring, and kind.
I figured
But I don’t want to go too much into the real world.
Oh that's why you're saying what you are saying
That explains a lot.
No it doesn’t make you bad to be a rich persons child, what does make someone a bad person is excusing a class of people who partake in genocide, casual child killings and war crimes
Back to the basement I go, this conversation is kinda over for me lol
Yes, because I know both sides. I understand why people don’t like certain people who are wealthy, but not all wealthy people are like that
Just like not all Orokin are monsters like Ballas
Yeah, some of them are worse
Just most of them.

When a class of people call themselves “golden gods” they lose all sense of moral innocence and ambiguity
There are several types of goodness virtues: Selflessness, kindness, niceness, respect and friendliness you can have some without the others and still be a good person. But the orokin have really only been seen being respectful not any of the others
I’m probably missing some things but you get the idea
Also I never said the Orokin are like these morally innocent babies
I just don’t think they deserved death. Big difference

We don't have too many stories of the Orokin helping people besides to claim their territories or assert themselves
The system deserved death
They were the system, they made themselves the system
They replaced the primary religion with themselves
I'd agree but the very existence of Continuity is super messed up, and every Orokin partook in that
they had opportunities to not be evil, they othered people who take the opportunity
Like Karishh and his absurd feasts.
Like Corphel and Irilia and their treatment of the Dax who became Dagath.
Like Nihil and his interesting approach to enforcing the law.
Like Tuvul and his Yuvan Clerisy.
Like the entirety of the Yuvan Clerisy, in fact.
You can change the system without pulling an Order 66 on the Orokin. Hell it probably went down the same way as it: Natah giving an order to all Tenno and then the brutality and violence ensued
Tens if not hundreds of thousands wiped out in an instant.
Except you can’t actually
only up to a certain point
But they have ingrained themselves into the system, they were considered literal gods
Continuity had to be shut down
"Release the Tuvul files" or something
It was a messed up practice that they glorified
Tuvul files
Even aside from all the messed up stuff this is a culture rooted in vanity, the idea of a tiered society and the unquestionability of their own superiority
oh and fyi, your beloved roathe does think the orokin deserved death
Your variant is better I have edited the message please let me have it
Not when the Orokin (the higher, blue-skinned ruling classes) elevated themselves to the level of gods and could live forever by erasing the minds of people to live anew in their bodies.
Of course bookie
same with kermerros
I agree.
Hehehe it looks so funny pixelated
when multiple of the better orokin say the orokin deserved death I think they might have a point
Continuity is something I can’t agree with
Well, at least not continuity into innocent children
I don’t mind continuity into like clone bodies or whatever
Continuity in general is wrong tf??
Not if it’s a clone body made for that purpose with no conscience or sentience
It would just be a blank slate
They figured out prime grineer and still decided to use children
that’s rlly fked up. that’s not “lack of alternatives”. That’s a decision.
They did that for exoticism too like treasure hunting
You are not an equal. You are not even close. You are an insignificant lesser who is so so far below them. To begin with you are not even on an even playing field or even a close social standing. Worse still, these are people from a culture that has actively raised and shaped them into lording their superiority over others and viewing them as lesser
Perhaps redemption could have been a lot simpler for many, a good few centuries ago before all that cultural indoctrination set in and cemented.
But now? Even just getting them into a condition to consider stuff like this would he an astronomical task for the majority. Let alone even getting into the position to be able to try and do that in the first place
if any significant number of orokin survived, they would never change
There’s a reason the only two proper instances of redemption we’ve seen have had major personal catalysts and already been outliers
roathe didn’t even like being one that much and he still probably wouldn’t have changed. It took a near-death experience and extreme impostor syndrome to change albrecht, memory loss to change the family
The thing is even becoming an Orokin wasn’t something that was impossible. It was possible to rise above your class. I’m pretty sure those Lua Puzzles called Ascension were meant to prove those who were worthy of becoming Orokin could endure the Seven Principles
Even Ordan Karris was offered the opportunity to become an Orokin
Class ascension was possible within their society, even near the end as it got worse

Lets say you do, somehow, get loads of people with the right personalities, personal views and/or skills to even have a feasible shot at doing this, and then give them training for vaguely similar stuff for good measure
What about all the people already suffering because of them? If we’re avoiding violence we can’t just rip them from their positions and put them in some like, netherlands type of situation
Even if we do, we just pissed them off and made it twice as difficulg
And?
Source on that?
A luxury available to those with enough greed and ambitiousness to abandon their class and become a monster
That only matters, as we have seen in all examples, if they actually do become one
Again, being an Orokin doesn’t automatically make you a monster
Because if you don't have one, then that might as well be headcanon
Monsters are made not born
nope. Just acting like one.
The issue is that people approach the Orokin from a position of immense bias immediately
You have to try to be neutral
This is a weird reason ngl
And what do you think being given colossal amounts of power and influence (and immortality on top) would make of a person?
in this case, made by choosing to stay among the social class of people who abuse and murder children, who treat billions of lives as toys, who kill whoever they feel like for their own gain.
roathe KIM spoiler, seems relevant to the current topic
As I said
It was never always like that
Innodem: “In the early Orokin Empire, elites wore Innodem as a symbolic reminder to defend the defenseless.”
This alone shows me that they used to once be decent, good people.
They once stood for all mankind
To defend those who couldn’t defend themselves, to lead humanity
The Orokin were the saviours of humanity turned its tormentors

A reminder that they ignored 😂
That they forgot.
Because they grew more corrupted
Yes, but that doesn’t matter, because it’s what it’s like now
If any of those Orokin are alive, that point in there life is a flicker compared to whatever point it changed at. And for those that continued on with that attitude.
Well, I can’t imagine many, if any, lasted too long in the changing environment
It was likely in the Lith-Meso era of the Empire
Most bad people were good or at least okay once, that doesn’t make them particularly more agreeable to changing for the better
The Axi Era is the one we know for the Orokin that are degenerates
Symbolic reminders usually are just that
It really says nothing of how they were in the early days of the Empire.
In practice, I mean.
The Orokin took control after the radiation wars
They had to guide and lead humanity out of ruin and destruction
So I assume at first, at least, they took that seriously
I still don't know where the idea of relic era=historic era came from
They would take it seriously when it came to guiding humanity down the path they wished for
Because really, who was gonna stop them?
Oh is this. I understand it now
And who’s to say that at first, the path they wished for wasn’t one of uplifting?
Why assume the ones at the beginning were the same as the ones at the end
Were the Romans of 100 BC the same as the Romans of 1400 AD?

Because the names are based off eras
what is the source
History?
Nightwave has a goal that says "unlock relics from each era"
relic era, sure
I mean, what else would era mean here then?
What does "relic era" mean other than the period of time the relic is from?
Im seeing like. 2 conversations happen at once. Orokin justification and era talks
On that same vein, who's to say it was that, and not an opportunity to bring the remnants of human civilization under their wing, their rules, dressed under the rhetoric of "uplifting"?
I don't think anyone really thinks lith relics are from Paleolithic times. It's just how the relics were named
No they mean like
theres also the mumbojumbo of:
Lith: old; stone age
Meso: middle
Neo: New
Axi: axial; spanky new
An era within the Orokin Empire’s history referred to with “lith”
the thing is, the eras can't refer to anything even just before the old war because they contain warframe bps
Not the literal real world paleolithic era
I misunderstood
Continuing: You make assumptions too generous in light of what has been actually observed regarding Orokin society.

Idk considering the whole, fascist takeover in Höllvania leading to the orokin empire
There is nothing in lore showing scaldra had anything to do with the Empire
Scaldra were useless bums led by Wally using Rusalka as a body
