I'm so ecstatic about the fact that they're continuing to use the Drifter's core themes -- learning to feel again, undying devotion and love, and not being satisfied with sacrifices and willing to try again and again to make a difference -- with this quest. Seeing Drifter pounding their fist and rewinding time left me utterly speechless when I first saw it. I've always felt like Digital Extremes had some trouble with truly following up on their story beats. After The War Within, the queens are hardly ever mentioned, and Umbra now rests in our arsenal as Just Another Warframe. That is, until Rebecca's new guard took the wheel. We've actually seen some continuity between stories and quests, which is such a delightful change that leaves me hungry for whatever DE is going to cook up next.
That scene gave me chills man. The bodies of the hex lying there, and then panning to the drifter still hanging onto life, then banging their fist onto the ground like they did all those quests ago, and the transition to the quest end screen and The Great Despair starting to play
@@zerotodona1495 Correct, and I really like this little tidbit of flavor and recognition they gave Umbra during Jade Shadows, but we only got this piece of information long after The Sacrifice first released, under Rebecca's creative vision. It adds to the point I tried to make: the Entrati got revisited after Heart of Deimos, the Grineer Queen(s) in Lua's Prey, Umbra during Jade Shadows-- all of which fall under Rebecca's portfolio.
Man this quest was crazy but then when i saw my drifter punch the ground and the duviri song started to play, HOLY SHIT SHE DID THE THING, gotta be my first time in this game where i was speachless
Personal observations: It's amazing how much the Hex is similar to the Entrati family. Their world is being consumed by a rapidly evolving hive mind infestation, their bodies have been warpped and marred beyond their recognition and there's very clear tension between the six of them. AND YET, unlike the Entrati who dug in their heels, erected walls between one another and went off to sleep, the six of them stuck to the plan, even in recognition that it was a suicide mission that none of them were walking away from. Hell EVEN Quincy (this moment sold his character for me) who split away from the team still can't bring himself to abandon them and get them as close to their goal as he can. Unlike the Entratis, there is a clear possibility that they could be a team if they worked together. They were close to that in 1999 but it was already too late by then. Albrecht keeps putting on this air of doing things for the greater good, and he is right that Wally/the Indifference is a threat that is going to take some sacrifice. But his apathetic nature to everyone he uses, the Cavia, Loid, even the Hex, ironically makes him a prime target for Wally. He tells the Drifter the Hex died for his and their survival but we know that's not why they did so. He really is the Wagstaff of Warframe.
Well Albretch WAS one of seven golden "lords" after all, probably the nicest one but still part of the group. Being a type of 'indiferent' monster makes part of it, he atleast is concious about it, but still choose this course of actions.
4:30 what was drifters plan here? "Alright il just use transferance to hop into his mind and explain *Gets ejected* "ok guess il just KILL Arthur" *gets hand stabbed*
@@onebraincellproductions Based on the events of WiW Drifter was in Arthur, using the vessels as a transference link to time hop. The warframe was produced by the Tech-Rot, which is a special branch of the helminth strain of infestation, it probably ate a person to spit out that Excal, and then we used transference to start using it untill we got our arsenal back.
The highlight of the quest for me was realising that Viktor was voiced by FREAKING HEISENBERG from RE8. Seriously, how the hell did they manage to rope him into this game?
To be fair, depending on how bad the bugs were, if they didn't fix it we'd all be talking about the chair in a much different way. And no doubt same for the liches
2:30 the entire tank fight was a giant hell yeah moment. The music, fighting a tank with an ak, randomly getting rpgs to take it down, and then jumping on making it kill itself
I imagine it really sucks to be one of the unfortunate people who got spoiled by the bugged finale when realistically you only need to wait like, six to seven days.
When I finished the quest, about 2 hours after it I got the Hex conclusion quest, I was like "really?? I guess I don't have enough chemistry with them so I'll just wait more time" Thanks god I thought it had different endings depending on chemistry, otherwise I might've got spoiled xd
@@jaydenjayden3778 DE very quickly deployed a server-side fix that made it so nothing happens if you try to launch it. Thank god at least their damage control was on point

Amir talking about how he mixes espresso + a can of coke + some other things and it immediately calms him down every time he gets panicked is so real i need to protect him
6:16 wait, my drifter had black eyes where they’re supposed to be white normally. I always thought that was weird, so I guess I got a glitched version of this cutscene.
ABSOLUTE CINEMA Bro the music in some occasions like the tank assassimation sounds straight up like 2012 Combichrist! If you know the music from DmC reboot, ypu'll know what I mean
Was enjoying the new endless mode as Voruna, and it was smooth sailing for 30 minutes; then, out of nowhere, all the frames were GONE. Just Gone! I assume I popped one too many Scaldra with Voruna's ""aura"" and my PC just said, 'that's enough war crimes for tonight, bub".
I agree the music rocks. Some tracks give me a very strong KMFDM vibe. I half expect to see Vega and Chun-Li fighting through one of the windows in town.
Arthur attacked the excel he was using first. As for pulling a gun on him, probably panic. I mean he's never had a Warframe reject his transference before.
Like the others, doesn't deserve this, he's literally TRYING SO HARD to save everyone while his friends are literally getting roasted one by one on his eyes and he can't do shit about it
Love the story but it feels like it was originally gonna be longer and some stuff was cut out. Like a explanation of how tf we teleported their timeline with helminth
9:00 if i tell you, you won't believe, i put the right answer on the first try, i just thinked "well... if this is entrati computer... and kalymos is his cat... soooooo... the password only can be her name"
Also had that bug and just decided not to continue it since, well, I felt like doing the the hex syndicate first not knowing I needed to that first in order to start the final quest
That and the MitW wants to… kidnap the operator or something?? Lotus didn’t make it too clear what it wants. Glad you said that though, it cleared up to me at least what the drifter’s power is.
Btw guys small question am i going insane or did playing as arthur just remind me to use exhaliburs sword ability more? As i swear his slashes have more noticeable projectiles now or something i dont knownruevrhrbtht
@funnyaccountname5763 yeah I'm going insane I just got bullied by my friend who's played longer than me. As it turns out until steel path and 1999 which I just reached I slept on exhals abilities
This quest was so stupid. Like it get Drifter has some connection to these characters through the time loop, but we as a player don't so to us there's no reason for us to try and save Hex instead of just letting Entrati nuke them to close the time loop. Also why is this little Swedish Town in the year 1999 so important? Like nothing was explained at all.
The "Begin Again" slam was so badass!
ONG I loved it so much
I almost thought it was hand slam of frustration but then I remembered 😂
wish they made Drifter say it tho
Not sure if its edited into the video but you can also hear in the background a chant of "DOMINUS"

I wouldn't say he wanted to kill Arthur, he just panicked and defended himself.
He needed to bank some motes

From his perspective, he just uses a lex while we use a hi point knock off
Wonder what mods is he using for the pistol

Delaying coda for this was a worthy sacrifice imo
They tried using Vergil's chair
fun fact, due to me having warframe, fortnite and path of exile 2 open at once my pc did in fact blue screen during the fake blue screen at the start

Drifter, with the time manipulation powers, is stronger than the Operator. Not even Manny can do that.
I mean, Wally WILL be able to do that if he gets his last finger back.
So the biggest issue DE has ever had it was a...chair?
