He is overall pretty easy to restrain
It really depends on unforseen consequences
If taking out wally disrupts everything that needs the void to function and the tenno I'd argue that's not a great thing
Genuinely mutilating him could count as a containment
Presently
He gets that fingy and idk anymore
bordering on euclid and keter, prolly
Remember, the class system isn't based on the danger, but the difficulty of containment
You’re right, he wouldn’t. The Indifference would be Apollyon class. It gaining full access to our realm would possibly be a reality ending event.
I bet Wally is gonna get that finger soon
Chekov's finger gun
Ehh. And breach wouldn't cause much unless he can access those lopped off body parts
No clue how accurate this is but
Wally likely falls into safe, euclid or apollyon
Pretty much
Safe or euclid for how we typically know him
Apollyon for if he gets fingy
accurate afaik
Had to access 14 year old Thomas hyperfix for a hot bit
real
Something tells me he will get the finger
I had to go back like 7 years
The literal moment we see it
Assume he will get it
5-6 ish years for me
Chekov’s gun
But this time it’s a finger
The Indifference at full power is absolutely Apollyon-class
Fingergun!
I made that joke 😭
Oh god dammit
See
Actually greyscale made it 5 months ago #lore-discussion message
i absolutely stole that from someone though
I think there’s a good reason for that 😭
The rabbit hole goes deeper
Like the word wrinkletwink
Scrap claims he used it first
Discord literally breaks when I add gun to the search 😭
Censorship 💔
Loid
Wuh why did I miss out on the lore
Exactly Exactly
Honestly
I mean... they're world ending threats
I wonder why the Orokin engineered their bodies instead of just having it occur through natural births
It makes sense there's not many
They can’t be contained lol
It would reinforce their ideology better iirc
Thaumiel??? As in.
The one class that serves as containment??
Ohh
Well they likely did but they did biomods because they kept hopping bodies
Omg my brain read it as apollyon too wth
Yes more thaumiel please
They're two completely different words 😭
Where you classifying the infestation?
Tbh I like that we aren’t Orokin, not really a fan of the blue skin
Ohh.
-# the tau radiation is going to end up as thaumiel
We are just regular humans, possibly wealthy
Could
They be thaumiel?
It was technically used to contain Wally
Mm. Not apollyon. As bad as the infestation is, its not exactly
Reality ending
I mean the Orokin were humans too
They were just above money and thought themselves gods
Exactly
It could just be keter
Actually
Apollyon is apocalyptic
The infestation could snowball into that
There’s this weird thing I can’t understand
If Albrecht didn’t love his wife why did he become worse when she died?
Could true
There were 18 radiation wars after it popped off
Keter, probably. similar to Flesh That Hates iirc
Euclid/Safe if they can figure out helminth
He. Got better
He arguably got better 😭
Maybe he still cared for her but like
As a bestie?
At least the Valyrians had an actual reason to think that. Orokin just relied on high technology
Arrogance at its finest
As a normal human would. Maybe for Euleria's sake
He ain’t a normal human
I’m trying to say that at most maybe they were friends lol
They do be the most arrogant ever
As we continue to see in the roache
Refacia kit!
You too can be a tru blu Orokin lad or lass
I have a need to see a purple or green Orokin
Gimmie a purplely pink one
What’s the enby version
maybe just enby
I based my operator/drifter off of her lol
Like. Sunset colours
Isnt albrecht already kinda sickly green
Mass Effect intensifies
Yeah, super pale green
Shorokin
We did figure out his exact tone on the kit iirc
Could be a normal skin tone though
Unsure if you have that Thomas
Could just be pale with a green undertone
-# i still find it funny that karishh was described as "violet-scented"
I do somewhere, I gotta scroll for a bit
Aight
He was purple
Actually
For the Seven we don’t have canon refacia tones for what color would you associate for each one?
Ballas, Tuvul and Avantus are all confirmed blue
With Karrish maybe being purple
So Nitokh, Tormis and Scarne are what’s left
I think either Scarne or Tormis would be green tbh
I went with pale skin, lilac eyes with a pink hue, and silver-golden hair. Idk I find that more beautiful than the sickly blue or grey skin and what is it, amber eyes, white?
Why do the Orokin have no irises?
I actually would have liked if Aventus had been gold
Hey maybe they could retcon that in
The only art of her prior to her statue was never actually labeled as her
Trueeeeee
Avantus the elder scrolls high elf
We didn’t know this was she for a decade almost
This was she
Complete with Omega Racism precept
Gods those fingers
Shes so pretty
surely the Seven wouldn't let another executor be gold, the symbol of their empire,,
Man maybe Roathe and Albrecht just thought the fingers were too long and weird lol
Maybe one of the paler colors to compliment the gold? 
Wanna bet Albrecht vibed out of the hand. Thought it would feel weird and noped out
I am once again no longer asking, where the hell are the other six executor blades
Def got judgmental looks but at the same time it’s not a requirement
I don't see why, he wore dreadlocks as a white dude
If they even had any
Avantus’ is right there!!
Tormis 100% just punched stuff
Exactly!!
Itty bitty dagger 
I
Don't think he was white in that form? He's. Kinda racially ambiguous in the portrait
I can totally see that
Whatever it is being for fashion
Maybe sewing
I might be misremembering but iirc roathe explicitly was like "the long arm gets in the way on the battlefield" or something
So it was moreso practicality reasons than anything
Oh hey that’s actually what I gave his mii in tomorachi since I couldn’t remember if we saw his other form without the hat lol
Which would also check out for albrecht being a scientist
Yeah that makes sense lol
Tomorachi
YOU MADE HIM IN TOMODACHI AND YOU DIDNT SHOW ME
My phone hates me
Help
Help
I did Loid too
He was
Way worse somehow lol
Like to make
I think I did fine
No but the beard options are kinda ass so I understand
I’ll get a pic asap
Tomodachi jirachi, you gotta make it now
Oh I think I nailed his facial hair setup best I could
I have Mew as a pet
I could add Jirachi
I wish we had a mirror/symmetry tool..
I also made Samuel hayden [his human form] and doomguy, and completely on his own, Samuel got hit with love at first sight
That was. Unbearably funny at 3am
So I since lost this since I accidentally closed the tab but I was making a bingo card for tennocon
OH
Ngl I think the Orokin just did too much with regard to their appearance
They were too extravagant and ostentatious about it
Eh, they didn't do too much
They literally were apart of the vain faith
Other than. Karrish
They did a good bit, we don’t know what tech they had installed in them
They are vain yes but the amount of visual body modification is quite low
Thats the point
Ballas had somatics at one point for instance
Actually he prob kept those til we stabbed him
They. Could've done a lot weirder
Yeah and that’s why i don’t enjoy it lol
Tall
Long arm
Blue/other colors
There are more reasons than that to hate the Orokin 
Pretty low, they chose yuvans based on their appearance, so I imagine they didnt need much plastic surgery to adjust it
I want my characters to be beautiful, but theirs is a natural beauty, hence why I did what I did instead of going for Orokin coloring even though I could’ve
Do you want suggestions
Though one could argue lilac eyes aren’t natural
They’re the 1% of the 1% tyrants that are higher on their own ego than Albrecht was on nestawood
I love the visual aesthetic of the orokin
Ye
Though idk when I’ll remake it lol
Its ethereal
I mostly wanted to share since I feel like we’re able to make some good guesses now
Otherworldly
Nah, Albrecht was pretty normal over all during that
Loid however
Our DNA is saturated in the void and we pilot cyborg replicas of people infected with the worst virus ever
You misunderstand
The Orokin’s egos were higher than Albrecht on nestawood
Unless you meant to correct me and say that Loid was higher
Thats not very high 😭 loid was probably higher
Didn’t he green out
He did!
Ok I’ll rephrase lol
Pale and sick
The Orokin’s egos are higher than Loid on nestawood 
- Nitohk lore
- New archons
- Sentient adversary
- Sentient syndicate
- Railjack
- New focus powers
- Equinox/Chroma/Ember/Limbo/Loki/etc rework (choose your favourite copium)
Their architecture is what draws me
Appearance not so much
Those really do be the copium options
Is Ember
Not good again???
Sentient lich is a low chance ngl
LIMBO SO HE CAN GET THE LOID PROTO
Ember fell off hard tragically
If we get that we prob won’t til much later into the arc
Chroma
WHAT HAPPENED 😭
She was fine when 1999 came out!
Healing Flame getting Overguard was a patch job
Oh is it survivability?
Emner is painfully fragile
True, so no one can really say anything when my operator looks like this 😭😭
EMNER.
Damn 😔
Yeah :/
Emner
That reminds me I need to fix my Mag build
She looks like Marie but like
If she didn’t glaze Albrecht
Im gonna be so fr that kinda looks like a boring operator
Everyone’s got their own style bud
Not saying its bad but like
Reminds me of the blue wolf fursona archetype
5head
My Operator/Drifter have the Valyrian appearance while my orbiter and weapons/frames have the Orokin aesthetic
Why is the best part of Marie her haircut
No her shoe things are pretty sick
Her braces?
Because design is seperate from writing, heeho
I think that’s what those are
Are Valyrians just white people 😭
She was made as a skin first 
What the hyuck is "valyrian"
Now I’m just back to wishing we got literally another other option they had in her concept art
I need to find funnier censors
More akin to elves. They’re a fictional race of magical humans from ASOIAF who were known for their ethereal appearance, blood magic, and ability to mount and ride dragons.
They
It sounds and looks so uncomfortably close to aryan
Look like regular people
Oh hey
Fun thing to do for fashion, take your proto and try to replicate their concept art!
The effect ofc is better if their concept art is vastly different in some way
I did it with Kaya’s and it’s prob one of my favorite fashions for her
This is totally lore related cause the concept art relates to their history 
Kaya's cropped jacket is so cute shout out that jacket
Is she
Grabbing reality
What is she doing
This just reminds me of the tall white blond swedish aliens thing lmao
Grabbing reality
void fissure /s
I would be tbh
"Shut"
She’s the beeest 😭
I wish I was better at Nova fashion
Just
grabs void fissure "no."
Xaku grabs it and redirects it!
actually they did mention 1999 void fissures again didn't they
wonder who will have dialogue for that or if they'll just use the usual lotus dialogue
You probably know then if you ever watched Game of Thrones. Prince Viserys and Princess Daenerys in the show are Valyrian
Step 1: Buy Atomica skin
Step 2: you're done
Seriously
Why Xaku got the on demand neural sentry
Or
Is that the fissure energy controlling them???
That skin is actually so hard to fashion for, it does not take to colors well
I own every non-tennogen skin for her and I am STRUGGLING
Really? I love its color channels
Own every tennogen
It's the only skin I've ever bought with plat
I’ve never seen game of thrones lol
They should give us the. Ability to give the protos hair accessories
Tennogen gets unequipped when you hop devices 💔
Wish they’d have a check for that or something 😭
Oof
It's not worth seeing. It's based on an unfinished book series and the showrunners made up an ending that sucked really really bad.
First half is excellent but it falls off really hard
Oh I’m well aware
I remember when people were talking about it
It just does not seem like my kind of show
The show fell off after S4. ASOIAF is my favorite book series though idc
Discworld
If we wanna share shrines lemme
Albecht
It's not a shrine thomas
Why are you so obsessed with Albrecht Entrati
No it wasn't gonna be that
Damn
Dammit 💔
It's just one flag
My swords count as more of a shrine
Dw it’ll be a shrine when I get Blackfyre and Dark Sister, but both of the sword replicas are $800 cause it’s Damascus Steel custom made; but anyway
Would my many many ducks count???
Probably
Why
My over 1k [Australian] doom merch collection
Woe upon ye, bear witness to my poor spending habits
This is ignoring i own multiple copies of the whole series
I don't trust fantasy swords to be designed functionally so I worry for the material
Pc, ps, the time I didn't get my preorder on time
Orfer
The time I bought them for my friends
The whole series all up is easily like. At least 200 bucks
Orokin but fantasy themed
Tbf the "decadent empire of beautiful shitty people" is a recurrent trope in fantasy and sci-fi
It’s actually not far off from a normal sword except the blade is slightly thinner and the cross-guard is done in the shape of dragon wings
That’s Dark Sister
Targaryens, Orokin, the Eldar in 40K, even Tolkien did it with Numenoreans, etc
It's kind of everywhere
I don't know I think you like Doom
The Sith species in Star Wars
Acceptable
The maykrs kinda are like that...
Nah i actually really enjoy ultrakill
-# I did just buy the v1, v2 and Minos plushies
Odds are usually that tolkien started the trope if lotr is included in one
I mean Tolkien based his on the myth of Atlantis
Check out don’t stop girly pop
People like to copy tolkien is the thing
My friend got it for me for women’s day :D
I was there from the start dawg that shit is delicious
And they always screw up his themes lmfao
See: every edition of d&d
Did you know the first doom game is mildly based on a DnD campaign the first folk at idsoftware did
And then Sandy shitterson waltzed up
GRRM (creator of A Song of Ice and Fire) directly said that Tolkien was one of his inspirations tbf.
Vel and Min are
Uh
Hanging. Out?
(The yellow text initially was referring to Wally but ig they’re using it on each other now???)
I hope he dies i hate him
ASOIAF first came out in the mid 1990s so it wasn’t late but it also wasn’t early
Omw to get my loid and albrecht pics lol
BOAH
NO MINERVA
Talk about toxic 😭
Wasn't that the origin story for elder scrolls
Tbf they did kidnap a kid
True LMAO
Its happened multiple times christ
The. Cacodemon is directly based on a monster from dnd
Beholder?
I would argue Frank Herbert. J.R.R. Tolkien, and George R. R. Martin are pretty much the main triumvirate of known fantasy/sci fi writers.
No! Astral Dreadnought from memory
Ah, epilepsy
All the sprites are also made from actual real world models :)
I mean on the sci-fi end you can't ignore Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov, and Ursula Le Guin is famous for both
Type shit
The archvile model is huge
There's a lot of foundational inspirations behind these genres
Foundation is so goated
Such an underrated series
What do you mean it has an insane health pool
If anything GRRM is a latecomer, building off older traditions and putting his own spin on it
What do you mean its the fastest demon in game
Albrecht and Loid
Loid is so real for it
He’s jumping around and being silly lol
Albrecht looks
Like he's seen horrors
Albrecht looks miserable
gonna be honest for a sec
most of the dune series is kinda terrible
Cause of Frank’s son
They’re talking…
He's not really one of the founding writers, more on par with the likes of Brandon Sanderson, Steven Erikson, etc
Influential but of a modern generation
i’m not sure herbert deserves all the praise
“And that’s how I got all my skin sheered off”
Sheared
"Can I eat it?"
Sheared?
Don't they got his 1999 old mn hair?
I think I amalgamated Albrecht’s two designs p well
Sheer...
Sandblasted is my preferred term
no i’m talking about anything past children
Cut
Oof
Idk maybe
I couldn’t find a good option and couldn’t find a pic of him without the hat
Peeled :D
Thank you Scrap 😭
Peeled!
Foundation is good as a book but it was unadaptable to TV until recently
But Apple found a way apparently
I also. Have neci and viktor but they're refusing to fall in love
The adaptation is okay
Oh
Aoi showed up
heretics, chapterhouse, god-emperor
it’s just not good, and gets really weird at some points
Company ink
How did you get to ultra friends man
I like the show tbh
I have no idea how relationships work in this game
They just happen and sometimes it’s borderline canonical 😭
I absolutely love the Cleons but I feel like the actual foundation part is kinda meh, with only the mother-daughter stuff in the second season being really good
look at him
I wish they did more parallels/foils between empire and foundation like that tbh.
We took very different but very similar approaches LOL
Loid's in the shower so he's.
Doing that rn
Doesn't 1999 albrecht just have steve's haircut
The "everyone is the same person but all screwed up on different ways" imperial clones, vs actual family and different (more organic and human I guess) drama with foundation
Yeah they knocked it out of the park with Empire, but Foundation is kinda mid at times
They did way more with Empire than Asimov even did
I’m having another lore accurate romance happen 😭
No way
...have we even seen steve without a cap
Im stuck here with old man yaoi island WITHOUT PLANNING
I got alien yaoi
They should've made the foundation protagonist different depending on generation...with Hari Seldon treated as a direct foil to the android
So every Cleon faces a different face of the Foundation but Hari and (forgot her name) the immortal robot lady are constants who have been fighting the same shadow war for hundreds of years
Arthur and Kaya are friends :)
The thing with that is that it kinda kills the opportunity for true character connection
Which is what I think the creators wanted
So they just have Gael living on even though it’s been like 3 centuries
Except they also showed they can do that with only a very few episodes
Like the gay admiral who was in prison
There's like 2.5 topics going on and one is vaguely wf related
Ok last one I’m sharing lol
relationship goals
Oh did you draw on his facial hair?
i won btw
Albrecht severely needs more wrinkles
YEAH LOID SUCKS
Mine is serviceably wrinkly
Gael is just kinda uninteresting imo. I don't like how...low-key all her romantic relationships are when I feel like given her very obvious autism coding she should struggle a lot more
Yeah idk why but i forgot em for some reason
wheres my sam actually i wanna see this shit play out
This is what I did (ok last one for real)
The stache is def the hardest but I think you can replicate the rest p easily
true..
We have a psychic math savant who was born and raised in an extremely religiously oppressive society and only escaped after reaching adulthood, now jumping decades at a time via cryo. This person should not be as socially/romantically functional as she's portrayed
Real talk, Foundation is garbage as a Foundation show
Loid just saw the operator attempt to lick a voca
Is she the can 🥀
she the can and the car
He’s so tired
Cancar...
Clanker...
Loid the babysitter, forever tired
Not only do the writers not understand psychohistory as Asimov intended, they also miss what the Foundation novels are trying to say
Get the man something to relax with, he might pop a blood vessle
However the Genetic Empire is actually a super cool idea and would have made for a good show in its own right
...do you think they taste dusty?
Just, not connected to anything Asimov
I
Think voca taste like sand
And I know how sand tastes
Y’know I wonder if the food in Duviri tasted exactly how Drifter thought it would
A bottle aged since the old war while he watches the operator doing dog days
Oh that's evil
Yes, canon accepted
Brilliant idea
Loid in. Swimming gear.
He'd go for like. A masc one piece i feel
Albrecht just got. Idk board shorts, He'd be that guy
Shirtless albrecht... much to ponder
Depending on if the child's tasted it before, it would be one of two things
Rancid, or ooo fun coloured drink
My hot take is that Foundation the books are unadaptable as written and frankly not that good thematically — they're interesting conceptually, but I feel like Asimov himself fundamentally misunderstands like.... history, as a whole
Loid also is avid on sun protection
Sunscreen up you bastard you're gonna get sunburn and or skin cancer
I'd say it's weirdly a very 20th century Russian view of history
Actually. How. Common is it to use sunscreen outside Australia
Very
Because for most people the choice is "sunblock or become as ham"
I imagine folks in England don't use it too often..
Weird we. Are taught at a young age you will just
Get cancer
They still have to, clouds don't block nearly enough UV
Don't it amplify it
Some kinds can, not all
Also would. They be using lower SPF rated sunscreens?
I imagine 50+ would be overkill but its better safe than sorry
I just
Had a wonderful thought
There’s masc one pieces?
Pretty often summer/late spring, especially when going to the beach or an outdoor pool
Asimov was born in Petrovichi, Russian SFSR,[13] on an unknown date between October 4, 1919, and January 2, 1920
I mean that tracks
I'm Chinese and East Asians are obsessed with sunscreen because our beauty standards prefer pale skin because like getting a tan means you look like a peasant lol
Imagine if he has a crazy old man sleeper build. Like a jacked grandpa
Those wacky orokin and their genetic engineering, i wouldn't surprised lol
As in. The swimsuit? Kinda like if shorts and a tshirt fused
Nono, thats loid
Albrecht's a lil chubby
What’s the convo at now i got distracted by tomodachi lol
This is what I wear but with long sleeves for the shirt
Rashies :)
Swimsuits for guys

Ah
I shall take my temporary leave then lol
Albrecht with a Hawaiian shirt tho
Quick what would Eleanor wear
Shes getting a big sun hat for sure
Oh for sure
Femme one piece with like. A sheer tied skirt
She could prob rock anything ngl
I think most of the hex could
I wanna see Arthur in this now, but like still Warframe'd underneath
Xata nuke
Amir.. mm
Board shorts haver and rocking nothing else
Maybe like. Coloured sunscreen tho
Marie.. mm
Probably also similar to this, iirc it was sorta like that for women around that age
Maybe like. Something covering her hair tho, like. What's the word. Not exactly a bonnet
Marie also has a line about saying allons-y
Maybe Marie is french then...
Unlikely
I should do more of these for other Protos tbh
You think you could find any overlap for Amir and Mario
Mario + Amir
Hecate + Eleanor
Reckon amir has facial hair but moves too fast and kinda burns it off
I left my tomodachi game open.
Runs
Jumps
Enter sewers
Maybe something to do with mushrooms/techrot
Hecate + Eleanor
Green Eye(s)
Into witchcraft
Summons stuff?
Used to be noncombatants but some old guy changed that
-# hotsprings/bathhouses?
Hanako Arasaka + Aoi
Body is modified by metal-like substances
Distant parents
Japanese
Likes music (MEET HANAKO AT EMBERS)
"Sibling" wants her dead (TennoCon 2024 teasers had a Scaldra member faking being her brother)
I guess I gotta watch Holby City to figure out similarities between Quincy and Trieve Blackwood Cambridge's character
And Melissa Medína has more roles than Trieve but doesn't seem to be anything more than a few small lines?
The regular hair would be gone too
Different type of hair
Facial hair can get really thin
Easier to burn off
How old was amir again weren't there canon ages
Well anyways amir seems to be in the age range where beards tend to not look good so he'd probably shave
are you trying to figure out what exact real life cringe hobby scene he'd be in lmao
No we're trying to figure out the overlapping part of the Venn diagram between Mario Jumpman Mario and Amir Beckett
They both use a gun?
Am I the only one who thinks the drifter would just die in 1999, because how foreign our diseases would be to someone from an un-trackable amount of time in the future?
In sentients' vision, how do they see Caliban Prime?
Like imagine escaping your personal purgatory, killing space hilter, stopping a time loop, finding a lover, only to die from something caller "The Common Cold"
so we know the hex plays d&d but there's actually a cringier nerd activity they could've been doing in 1999
they could be larping vampire the masquerade
eleanor would be so into it
That’s what revenant proto is doing
Yeah I imagine being voidinfested probably stops that
get off the damn table
It would be more likely that we'd be carrying a whole bunch of evolved diseases that the past hasn't ever experienced and we'd be patient zero of a plague
WARFRAME MENTIONED IN THE WILD RAAAAAH
Post is about "Media that (intentionally or otherwise) Pavlovs its audience into feeling a certain emotion upon hearing a single phrase with no other context."
Omg i remember watching that and getting spooked
Plastic Models
Yeah I cut off the screenshot of the extremely handsome replier, but he mentioned a specific sequence where she sees his undead body saying "Hey kiddo" but with her voice, just like how this entity in Warframe will use the player's form when saying their childhood nickname.
I was gonna say Gundam but like.....he seems like he'd be a nerd for....
super robot wars
Such a good show ngl
Isn’t Amir’s hobby video games :?
He’s even making a game
I love eldritch horror that isn't tentacle monsters with teeth, mouthes or eyes 
or just gore and dark lighting for no reason
Most we got for wally is like
Dust
Dust and walls and limbs
Tbf the murmur are also his attempt at being like us
Of all of Wally’s forms, I like his literal man in the wall form as it’s a twisted version of the Vetruvian Man which I just find cool.
It is very cool
this reminds me of the "Winnower is a metaphor" from destiny
the writer who wrote it basically said online (paraphrased):
""The Winnower is a metaphor" I say, as I drive car into a tree"
because surprise surprise, that mucker aint a metaphor
Are there really any lore behind why we didn't get so cool ships like assault carriers, destroyers, frigates and personal fighters for the Tenno
I don't know, it felt lacking
we are a guerilla strike force, why do we need any of that
mhm
big advantage of the tenno is showing up unannounced
Because we're not really a guerilla strike force anymore right? And space warfare is so cool EVE Online, elite dangerous and such
yea we do need analog type stealth fighters
when did we ever stop being a guerilla strike force
question
is Roathe proud or ashamed of his rep? he's rather confusing to me
when we began nuking rooms with ease
Yeah we have Railjack for "loud assault"
Archwings for "fast assault"
And infiltrating the ships for sabotage and everything else
Both kinda
Through eternalism both are true
He's proud to have it, but ashamed of what it cost
i see
That doesnt mean diddlysquat when it comes to our operation context
The Tenno have the strongest soldiers but are the weakest of the main factions
As he gets his memories back, overall he hates what he's done unless you get him to embrace his villainy or accept it and become better
yeah but
actual "guerilla" gameplay is fun
We control starbases, but our enemies control planets
"Oh boy this fortress is so deep underground and unprotected, no Tenno or Corpus will ever get in here!"
The humble Tenno looking to do a riven challenge:
Soldiers don't win wars, economics do
that's rather odd
considering we can stop time with brute force, open gates to the sun and such
Well our enemies outnumber us tenfold and one dead Warframe means a lot of good things for them
they outnumber us, but they are outmatched
Let me put this in perspective: the Tenno can kill a million Grineer easily
The Grineer can produce ten million replacements in that amount of time
Weakest because we don't have the numbers.
While we could regain control of one planet, the enemy could have already seized three others
couldn't saryn's infection do something about it tho
No, because the enemies aren't stupid
Yeah at one small plant maybe, then it gets contained
Grineer fight infested too
And we have no clue where all the enemy bases are
Which is a million times more infectious that Saryn's spores
We also don't target the enemy's main battle lines
Most Grineer or Corpus are killed by the other side
There's a whole Corpus city on one of the planets
Yeah, Corposium
that a real thing?
Oh yeah totally
gas city?
We actually have a very limited view into Warframe's setting
We've never met an active rail jockey
never seen it
i haven't unlocked that tier of nerd
yet
We avoid all but three colonies
there's a massive city visible from pluto proxima that might be corposium
When there are hundreds to thousands of independent colonies supposedly, which we're fighting to protect
Yeah imagine if DE had infinite resources and have unique assets for every set of nodes, they could really cook sci-fi wise
so here's one thing i dont get
what is exactly our purpose?
the lotus just sends us from planet to planet, killing things
To keep the Grineer and Corpus fighting each other forever
we dont seem to be doing our job very well
The yellow circles and lines are lights from cities
that's pretty cool
It's going very well tbh
Yeah, neither side is winning, meaning neither side is dominating the system
Most of their weapons programs are either scaled back or scuttled
We keep things in balance.
Or stay in the experimental/limited phase
but they will continue to fight forever
That's what we want tbh
oh]
Fomorians for example are designed to be like planet killers. The mere radiation if one explodes on the surface of a planet would render a massive area completely inhabitable for centuries
So we target stuff like that
When they're not fighting each other, they're expanding by absorbing the independent colonies
speaking of fomorians
what would happen if they both just let loose
If DE took the safeguards off? We'd start losing relays again
well, we would win ofc but
Gameplay wise nothing, DE has safeguards
We lost half of the relays in like a year originally
we wouldn't
DE wouldn't want to keep baro in strata relay forever 
It used to be that relays would be destroyed (as you can see in the map)
Ahhhh, no, we rebuilt Strata
-# tbf some of those were intentional
ik
ive heard that players tried to manipulate baro locations
Yeah
by just letting the relays get bombed lol
They were going to blow up every relay before Pluto
And lock new players out of relays entirely
Luckily, Baro saved us all by making a deal with the devil
It basically would have culled the playerbase before the big 2019 cull
Now only some relays are destroyed
Or Duviri start
that one i havent heard of
is*
No, current railjack development is fine
I know you're trying to be funny but you just misread
the new war time?
Before that
wow
Basically between The Sacrifice and The New War DE had a hard time
It was
Scarlet Spear didn't work right
wonder why scarlet spear never made a comeback
like botb
💔
Squad link didn't work
And couldn't really be made to work
i took the old necramech grind
5 days for me
You know how Stalker mode is kinda buggy in BotB
didnt know it was that bad
Squad link was that but for entire squads
never seen bugs myself
It's way easier now.
I still have my op-link in my gear
(Some of the BotB bugs are funny, like semi permanent five person squads)
You can just get the parts lmao.
yup
im almost convinced to go make bonewidow
DE actually is scared by it ajd doesn't wanna do it agian.
Cuz of the like hate at the time.
Honestly it should just be retooled into The New War part 0
the loot cave
Scarlet Spear ground section, Gas City Orphix mission, Scarlet Spear railjack section + smashing the heart crystal
The rj section also wasn't bad.
It would be better with Current RJ.
It's just squad link that was the problem, the mission itself is cool
Basically still exists in the Sentient Anomaly, too
prelude to war is already there
just add some proper gameplay segments rather than just cutscenes
Yeah, but it's also the actual war soooo
I wonder
How many corpus would it take to defeat a Murex of sentients?
or is it just a instant loss
Are we letting the Sentients hack Corpus systems?
so a group of sentients is a murex?
big ass sentient ship
oh yeah they can do that
roathe told me that recently
I'd say yeah
You saw how Alad V folded under 0 pressure
i c
-# 0 pressure
That's why the Sentients are so powerful, and why Tenno weapons are all normal guns and swords
i mean
alad tends to just follow the lead of the strongest one in the room
which is rather fair
I don't think we have a name for a group of sentients
Honestly negative pressure thats light work
i thought it was a cull
but uhh
Alad actually got threatened waaaaay earlier
a [sentient language word for 'society'] of sentients
Wait
been a while since i played the story
why did alad help us again?
Maybe Hive? Kind of?
Now it perches outside my home. The message is clear. I am to make Amalgams, and if I cross them, the Ropalolyst makes an ash cloud of this city.
If my rivals find out, I'll be executed for treason. What choice do I have but to comply? ```
Bc he likes to be in control and can’t do that with sentients
Oh, during Second Dream?
After Natah Lotus went looking for info on Hunhow's tomb
Alad V guessed she'd be doing that and decided to cut a deal
Because he wanted a favor from the Tenno for the future
Unfortunately for him and lucky for us, he pissed off Stalker's Acolytes by existing and called that favor in right away
alad is not the luckiest guy huh
(He deserves worse)
Well he’s still alive
So
without system hacking?
didn't we kill him when he got infested?
Nope
he got cured
damn
I think eventually the Corpus manage to take it then
the only sentient boss who truly died is the Sarge lol
The Corpus have Cold weapons which is one weakness of the Sentients
grineer vs murmur
who wins
damn
Murmur are locked to one tiny part of a tiny moon
i mean
wally going all out would be unfair i think
Meanwhile Grineer control half the solar system
"Commander, they deployed a Fragmented"
"500 more grineer"
The real fear would be Grineer getting Murmur samples, because I'm not betting against them failing to weaponize entropy
5 bombards
and 5... more bombards
hybrid kuva murmur liches
if Tyl Regor got them though
or so i think; ive heard he was rather brilliant
Hm, maybe. Tyl Regor's mostly into genetics? He'd probably be worse around Protoframes.
tyl regor and entrati meetup
i was told tyl almost found a cure to clone rot through his experiments
until we came by
Which of the Grineer commanders are even alive anymore? I know Vor is in a purgatory or death and revival due to the Janus Key but I don’t know much past that. I’m also pretty sure Vay Hek is still alive and screwing with Cetus.
And then there’s The Worm piloting the burning ship.
And they still have half the solar system for themselves
Somehow. It’s a miracle that The Corpus haven’t toppled them. But I’d chalk that up to all the infighting in The Corpus.
And I suppose "throwing more clones" is a viable strategy in a war
I just thought
Warframe designs are mostly Ballass's, right?
Does that include heirlooms and deluxes?
Ah yes, the age old “we have more men then you have bullets” strategy.
As of now yeah that's likely
I can kinda imagine Ballas hunched over some parchment sketching like
Mesa heirloom
yareli pandea was made by hunhow
dunno if there are other specifics
the deluxes are case-by-case canon
heirlooms probably just. aren't
And Styanax deluxe too
"This is imperative for them to work"
most skins def do not have a lore reason
but it's still fun to imagine an orokin having a weird fixation on F1
They dug up this old thing called Gundam when cooking up Gauss Moto
The Hydroid and Sevagoth Deluxes are canon to each other, if not actually canon
The darkSector skins are almost definitely non-canon
Likely isn’t though, since Corposium was built on a warm world and Pluto. Isn’t
Pluto could be warm now
Pluto is small and cold, and organic tissue does not fare well in its extreme climate. But the merchant spacemen always seek opportunity for profit in regions where others dare not travel. Robotic proxies act as security in the largely unmanned manufacturing facilities that operate in the area.
We were young, but the work made us old. Our backs ached, our hands bled, the sun tortured our skin.

Well all that means is that Corposium is probably even grander than the stuff on Pluto's surface!
Assuming it's not just a symbolic city
if it was just warm and didn't mention the sun, i'd say it could be terraforming equipment that's broken or changed
but yea pluto doesn't get much sunlight
There’s also the fact that expansion into the outer areas of the system is meant to be this big, recent (relatively) development
Which doesn’t really gel with the Corpus starting out in one of said outer areas
So in lore wise: if we had to pick the worst villain possible (in a good narrative sense), who made the most hideous acts possible.. who would it be and why?
Ballas cause I haven't read all of berserk yet
scrat in ice age
I also need to read berserk till the end to form an opinion lol
Griffin
Don't blame that he turn dark cause he lost his 422 in the hand of an old pernoble
this aint really a comparison
Does zephyr have period?

She's a bird
Was that a necessary question
And. No. She wouldn't.
Why specifically Zephyr
Of all warframes
This is just Sedna lore tbh. The grineer here are stationed so that they would be the first to expand outwards to the unknown
I hope one day, one of the “in between updates” will be the great world expansion, adding in many of the more relevant places as missions. Maybe even expanding the newly developed mission types that only have one or two nodes 💀
If you just look at the fragments, yeah, with a maybe on Pluto’s
Like guys be fr. What if we can have a mission looting the ruins of Altra? What if we can sabotage the garbage disposal networks on Eris to stop feeding the infestation there? What if we get ascension mission or new archwing missions protecting the junctions from being captured. Guys guys guys what if we get a rescue mission, rescueing grineer defectors from the Saturn 1-6 prisons on Saturn?
So many places can easily be turned into missions creating a much more coherent world building
Still don’t understand why the isolation vaults weren’t connected with whispers
Could have gotten more necramechs 😭
But if you go back to the old starchart descriptions, which are largely still canon to some degree, with a few aspects swapped around, there’s a general idea of the further out planets (other than Neptune, for some reason) being less settled and more “recently” expanded to
I also see it that the inner planets are the more civilized places and the outer planets be more cold and barren with just giant industralized places
But now that each of them have a more solid role in their respective civilisations to talk about in the fragments, it just doesn’t get emphasised as much aside from those two
Like the corpus having giant manufacturing facilities and the grineer have giant weapons research bases there
Question
Answer
A witty but ultimately unhelpful remark
Are the Zariman Angels really ded
They're made from dead people
A friend told me they're alucinations of the drifter created by the void because of the trauma
And all the stuff we get from them is actually given by the void
It's void mutated people
Why is everything just being sent at the same time
Apolocheese, some messages are bugged
Angels are just dead people taking too much Void
Can they make over a million dps?
I got a question: How exactly a person turn into a void angel? I mean the process, which part will be transformed first? Are they really dead or they stuffed or transformed into sth else?
The confusion comes from being a alive thing made from dead people, is like kinda a zombie
Maybe the prolonged exposing time
They're dead people whose body and soul have been ravaged by void
Wich is unlikely, cus the void doesn't respect time
Duviri's the best evidence
Yea i ponder if the transformation act like the viruss causing zombie thing
Is not like the tennocyte at least
The specifics on how it's done i wouldn't know, tho
Just can tell the start (madness and death) and the final product (angels)
Same. I really curious at it since i want to start writing of Zariman like a fiction. But i don't know how exactly the transformation process. Like symptoms or other things
They're Ghosts that take too much Void
Mr. Lorebook, if you in the POV of a person being transformed into a Void angel, how would you write?
Well the first thing is madness, but only if you have a child
By any chance there a mutated?
The only reason the Holdfasts didn't turn is because instead of continuing to feed off of the finger they started feeding off of us instead
Then what after that?
Then you die from any normal thing (starvation, someone defending themselves from you, void beam), turn into a ghost, and "drink from the reliquary", then angel. Again, no idea from the specifics
Feeding off of us? What does it mean? I quite not caught the meaning of it
Holdfasts need Void energy to not turn into Angels
They were taking it from a bad source that was turning them into Angels
So you mean that after that The Angel of Zariman happened and they got fed by our void energy?
And aparently is a passive thing, so it won't consume the tenno or give anything negative while feeding
Not originally
After R5 they do
Which is why they lose the scars
I'd argue that it's since the quest end and R1-5 is them gradualy losing the scars as progression goes
Yeah, i recall they say our energy is like a warm light
Okay it clearly my mind a bit of what happened
Since i still want to write in the Void angel POV, it still abit dull in the middle time of the Void Angel transformation. Like how there a break for the Tenno to be found and when the Holdfast was revived
DE is not much of the type to give details, so things get open to theory reqalm. But if you wanna more official references, there's the Zariman audiologs that shows a bit of Kira transforming into an angel (in voice only), and amnesia is a thing in the holdfasts
Opening Ranking Up Menu
Quinn: "We couldn't remember much of what happened, but the time of the... accident is clouded for us, like cryo-fog. It is as if the Void had to erase in order to create. There's material the angels secrete that functions like Aya. Yonta believes our lost memories are in there."
Okay, i think i gotta check back at it 🏃♀️
Zariman Audio Logs: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDmrv5FhAWj9V8R6HNlxbeuTiSfgp7hqz&si=456rfFZkLlfmW9y2
The cryo-fog kinda giving the idea of like how Tenno also be put in cryo pods thing
Should i add it in like Void also got some connections to the Tenno like a link?
K, i didn't found Kira's part, so you'll have to dig some loretuber covering the Zariman arg
Okie 🏃♀️
Now I honestly didn't get what you asked so I'll just say that afaik the cryopod tech seems to work just like the usual cryo trope in fiction, a frigde that don't age you and that's it.
But, creative liberty and all that
They were feeding off a piece of Wally
Now they feed off our piece of Wally
We work like a filter or prism ig
Idk if this helps but the angel’s minds don’t really seem to be their own anymore and iirc Quincy mentions to not look for friendly faces
Sounds like once a void ghost feeds and transforms it’s completely warped
At least as far as we know
They seem feral, only wanting to feed
Only direction they maybe have is Wally maybe conducting them and that’s why they appear in the labs but we. Don’t really know
Teshin says he’s their master
But how would bro know that
I see
I’d like to think there’s some remnant of the void ghost beneath and that maybe we could save some of them but
Yet to be seen and may be impossible
I think imma try if i could come-up with all those information, they are valuable. Thank everyone
Your username makes me understand how crying is a free action
wait, it used to have to pay for crying?
Well... at a time, after 4 revive, you had to pay for futher revives with you and your wallet crying. I'm not sure if it's about that tho
His name is peak
Dont let lotus propaganda fool u
Ballas is the nicest person ever
he’s been veiled
My great uncle ballas taught me how to ride a bike how could u say that about him
He was kind to you
But you only saw the good in him
In secret while you weren't there he did terrible things
Hey chat is that a gap, right? I aint schizo am I
-# my mate threw the screenie at me just now and I kinda just realised
Looks like it?
Check another screenie
You are both Schizo and correct
Genuinely he never opens his mouth so like
This is the only one they got of him 😭
could also just be the heavy one sided shadow
True, which is why I asked yall
wally f'ing with the lighting to make him appear bad
next time he will cast yellow light specifically on his teeth
No having perfectly white teeth is. Weird
Lies
Artificial
teeth whitining isnt hard to come by these days already youd expect the orokin to have something even more convenient
No such thing as perfectly white teeth
You reckon he had that in 1999 😭
Big dentistry propaganda
I feel like more games need to be weird with their teeth
Like okay I get it if theyre mega rich but like
built into his hat trust
they’re trying to line their pockets
You aint getting perfectly straight cis white teeth without intervention 😭
He should travel to 2001, no specific reason… 👀
Probably stop a disaster that wasn’t supposed to happen
Yeah so he can hear the peak song one more time by daft punk
Ah, but if it never happens, he wouldn't have gone back to change it
Never Forget
libertatia was never the same again
(their USA)
Huh?
I’m guessing hypothetically my home state of Maryland would go by a different name in the warframe universe
Argon Burger meal probably forces it into existence lmao
oh yeah thats quite odd how they are named that when even in 1999 its also sol and lua lmao
they still use sun and moon for the celestial body categories and were more original than us and gave our sun and moon a different name i guess
Seems something is trying to 911 the new relay station
do you think a failed painter was involved
Don’t know
since a WWII equivalent is hinted
well it could be any kind of war tbf
doesnt have to be world wars
Iraq equivalent???
would be libertatia not rus
i wonder if the warframe universe ever got half life 3 lmfao
I wonder if there are several remakes of MW3
real reason albrecht invented time travel
It couldn't even get HL2 let alone 3
Whatever studio made it lorewise got nuked
We can't have nice things
but with the magic of eternalism- gets shot 89 times
where are those clips from in the game ?
The murals behind necraloid
where ?
Before the labs
We talking about albrecht now 😔 🥀
Lotus too
Well you see
It would've stayed Ballas if you simply replied on time
Imagine having a life in 2026
Why don't we see any other tenno when playing through Warframe's story?
You do
Technically, we have
Rell is the biggest by far
But in the New War while Operator is trapped in their own history we meet and talk with some other Tenno briefly
We also see some in the Erra cutscene
We also see a Rhino in New War while we were busy doing RJ stuff
I’d say Operations are the closest we get to fighting alongside others lore-wise
I don’t just mean the ones protecting Lotus
There’s the Excal and Mag primes iirc
And the untold amounts in the Railjacks
Technically 
Is Nezha even a kid btw 😭
Genuinely can’t remember
Im pretty sure he isn’t but still
He is. Based on a kid. And that's enough for me to never come anywhere close to it
Understandable
Is being a scaldra member the best progression you could take as an enemy faction?
Like sure it's a time loop but your only threat are the techrot and singular tenno
A protector spirit for child soldiers
Idk man
The Scaldra look sorta messed up under their armour
Who's Rell again?
That’s a life of eternally fighting tv monsters and genetically engineered magic space ninja super soldiers
While constantly surrounding yourself with the Cancer Gas
How is this good progression 😭
Me when our commander organizes a concert full of queer people only to turn it into a public execution
And I'm more so trying to figure out why we don't see more in the modern/present day
Autistic tenno who saw Wally for what he was, sealed Wally away with himself in Harrow to protect everyone
Aaaah, so I see
YOU KNOW HOW I MENTIONED HOW AUTISTIC PEOPLE CAN REALISE [other people's] ABUSERS AND BAD PEOPLE
Oh, don't we also fight Chroma?
