A non-exhaustive list of things that happen in Warframe out of context:
(Spoilers, if you can even tell what I'm talking about)
An ultracapitalist warlord is harrasing cyborg kids for a comic book. You can help the kids by pulling sick skateboard tricks. The reward is a playable magical girl (who also pulls sick skateboard tricks).
A megacorporation has made the stock exchange into a bloodsport.
Your grandad tries to corrupt a computer. The only way to stop him is by jumping into cyberspace and blasting orchestral dubstep at him.
A room on your ship has been taken over by talking cancer cells. This is entirely beneficial to you.
An autistic child figured out who the main antagonist of the universe is. Some people did a cult about it.
The Pope of Capitalism is hiding in his own pocket dimension. You fight him by throwing a disc at ghosts.
Some of the characters you play have built-in weaponry. One of them has a built-in cat.
The alternate reality version of you has been trapped in a storybook fighting a one-person rebellion against a mad child king.
Sometimes you get attacked by the pinnacle of edgelords who is also your grandad's boytoy. He is a pushover, but somehow his disciples aren't.
You gain the ability to own and pilot a big ship. For unexplained reasons the ship is powered by a mummified finger in a jar.
One time you pilot a robot ghost to fight soldiers in space while a ship captain sings a shanty at you.
Turns out your adoptive mother is really your adoptive mother masquerading as your adoptive mother. Her ex blames you for this.
The final objective of a climactic story mission involves you helping your mother fight her abusive ex and preventing the corpse of your grandmother from eating the sun.
The leading scientist of a now long-dead empire has gone missing. You need to help his husband and their three talking pets fight living mannequin arms using a spellbook.
Time travel exists, and its main purpose is to stop Y2K, which actually happened.
On the perils of swapping between Operator & Drifter...
An alarm clock goes off at oh dark thirty, like it does every night. Drifter smashes it off. "Ordis, why do we even have that alarm?!"
"That is the Operator's reminder to start another Forma in the Foundry."
Drifter pulls the covers back up. "The kid's sleep schedule is fucked."
A week later, the Operator takes back over, ready to run Elite Sanctuary Onslaught/Hydron until their backlog of kuva weapons are fully leveled. "Wait a minute...why don't I have more built forma?!"
Ordis helpfully informs the Operator, "The Drifter ignores your alarm."
The Operator considers that and says, "It's alright. They're old and need their beauty sleep."
So proud to share this collaboration piece between myself and @harmaagriffin I did the concept sketch and linework and they did the colors and shading/lighting. ♥️
