  • The Orokin Towers are symbols of dominance and glory, testaments to the Orokin's mastery of space and substance. But as with many things the Orokin created, they harbor a dark secret. Bleeding flesh within their walls. But is the flesh so simple? Or could it be more familiar than we realize...

      Plus, I love how StallordD is very quick and concise with his discussions. If DK made a video like this, it would talk him almost 20 minutes; I don't hate DK, but the dude just goes on and on and on... and no offense, but his whole Stalker Family thing is a wee bit cringey.

    DE needs to just make a book about this lore. No fragments or whatever scattered about the game, just a simple, coherent, straightforward presentation of the lore, cause it seems like it's deep as shit, but other than the cinematic quests and various instances of quests to obtain warframes, the lore has almost no bearing on the gameplay at all. It's almost irrelevant. The game's story directly only insinuates that you're a space ninja made out of a combination of technology and flesh and you're controlled by a kid with weird powers and you're lead by a space mom and a weird ship AI that was actually once a person, and you're going around foiling a mega corporation of guys that make robot animals and a group of jacked up clones while watching out for mutant space zombies and giant squid monsters. Most normal players don't really know about any of this shit. They don't know who Ballas or Margoulis is.

      doing that would take out half the fun of playing warframe, lore hunting and speculation. Maybe once the game is at its end that would be a good idea, but as the story continues I look forward to having this ARG-style lore hunt.

  • @alias588
    @alias588 Před 6 lety +8

    Another possible interpretation of Ballas' monologue in the Sacrifice teaser is that he was talking to an unconscious Margulis after she was involved in the incident with the Tenno kids that left her "withered." He probably already knew what the other members of the Executor Council planned to do based upon that incident--scrap the entire project, kill the dangerous ZXO children, and either summarily execute or exile Margulis for her failings and for her disobedience in letting the children live in the first place.
    He thought then of what she said she wanted, and made the choice to implore that her labor of love be spared, and she alone take the punishment for her actions and failings, arguing that while the children of the ZXO were terribly powerful, that power could still be very useful to the Empire in their war against the Sentient threat, if only they were simply brought under control.
    In the end that's exactly what happened. Margulis faced death by immolation in front of the Council of Executors, but her children were allowed to live--turned into weapons for the Orokin Empire to use and then throw away (or so they thought)...but allowed to live.
    It sounds like after Ballas took oversight of the Warframe project, he was still very bitter about the other Executors--as well as the Seven themselves--condemning his love to die...his eyes were opened to the depths of their cold corruption. He saw the fall of the Empire itself in the ever-growing strength of the Tenno. No force in the galaxy could contain them; not the Sentients, not the Infestation, not the Grineer nor the Corpus, and not their gilded masters who were still terrified of all the horrors they had created, but none more so than their most valued warriors--their last and greatest hope was also to be their doom.
    Perhaps Ballas had a bigger role to play in the Tenno killing their masters than has yet been revealed.

  • @Makorze
    @Makorze Před 7 lety +15

    Maybe the Umbra are what the stalker is? As far as we know, the Stalker isn't piloted by a Tenno yet some human consciousness lurks within it, a weakness Hunhow scolds him for holding onto. Also human transference directly into a warframe body has been achieved before, namely when Titania was created. On top of that, not only was she able to ride Titania to the silver grove, the frame itself fought on its own with no pilot when the Dax came to destroy the grove.

    • @kaiju9671
      @kaiju9671 Před 6 lety +3

      Makorze the stalker was an orokin guard that survived the slaughter so he isn't a self piloting warframe but it is possible for warframes to maybe work on their own like that did in the second dream to save you from the stalker

    I’m of the opinion that the Arboriforms are the same Derelict vines, but saturated with Void energy. The nature of the Void seems to be in the domain of living things, and these vines, as living things, are capable of transferring Void energy.

    • @StallordD

      Exactly. It's never struck right with me that they were Infested, as it doesn't make much sense that the Infestation would just...die...
      Not to mention they're mostly in the same places as the Arboriform in non-derelict tiles.

    Actually the rhino in the lore entry was a rhino prototype. The warframes originally were people infested with technocyte that could control void powers and using both they could control more void power than a non infested person whithout becoming totally infested. (hayden tenno kinds of infestation) These poor souls were captured b the orokin and converted into the first warframes or the warframes were originally advanced suits of armor at the time for peoples infested like thios and the orokin simply betrayed them in a simular manner to how the emperor of man betrayed the thunder warriors in 40k. Regardless, the end result was these people were surgically and cybernetically altered to be biomechanical meat puppets to the tenno. Hell, the prime warframes may still contain poor souls forcibly converted into warframes

      the second dream quest hints at stalker being a warframe who rejected his operator, completely denying who he really was and got filled with hate.

    • @hiddendesire3076
      @hiddendesire3076 Před 7 lety +8

      Ultra Window The stalker was a warframe who during the uprising rejected his transference with his Tenno resulting in him killing his tenno. This act shocked Stalker to his core, granting him a level of self awareness and consciousness, but it also twisted his original purpose, to serve. In his pursuit of self preservation via maintaining his original "programing", he took up the assassination contracts against us, partially to serve, and also to seek out a new tenno operator and to try to undo that for which corrupted him. In the Second Dream, we witness Stalker pause and seem to contemplate that for which he is doing. At which point HunHow declares Stalker too weak and using a fragment of himself to direct control Stalker.

    • @UltraWindow
      @UltraWindow Před 7 lety +7

      thats a solid explination to him, but it also says that warframes have their own minds.

      We know he served the orokin in fact he is one of them maybe a similar accident to what changed the children happened to him after the orokin fall he was shaken"was i one of those wretched things the traitors?" his armor mixed with his flesh unable to take it off he was similar to a warframe,he then swore to avenge the Orokin by killing as many tenno as possible and many he did kill he went so far that he joined up with the sentients,they both seek one goal the destruction of the Tenno!

    @featurelength5086 Před 7 lety

    You're actually correct on the technocyte. I mean, it's never outright confirmed but the idea that the Orokin mastered nano-robots so perfectly that they began making techno-organic "living metal" analogues to biology is the only answer that really fits in with what we know of Warframes, Infestation and now the Towers. Keep in mind that Helminth, Lephantis, and the Twin Queens confirm the long-standing theory that Warframes are made of infested flesh.

    Bout the same theory I and many others have had, and I love the diction you used to get it across. To me it makes the most sense, as other theories propose sacrificing ourselves, our link to the lotus, etc, which I can't see being feasible.I also like the mention of alternate strains of the technocyte virus. Since it's been stated our warframes are infested flesh, perhaps this could link to those sacrificed and the process they go under to become a Warframe. I'm sure Helminth and the uniqueness of the Nidus warframe has some place in there.
