if warframe is ever all said and done one day, i would love a standalone single player story focused remake of warframe that has you play through all of these events as quests in chronological order. I would easily pay $60 for that.

[@silverferalgaming8548]

OG SAM There is a prequel to Warframe. Dark Sector on PS3. You play as Hayden Tenno a CIA operative that is after a madman known as Mercer (I think been a while). You are infected by the technocite virus via a mysterious machine person known as the Nemesis. As you walk around infected and fearing death you try to find extraction. Soon you learn that you are evolving with the infection inside you and soon you grow a Glave that is built in to your body. Armed with this new skill you continue your fight and search for the madman.

[@StallordD]

I didn't include them in the video because they clash with current progression, but going roughly, here is how the various quests would align in this timeline by going off of a combination of release date, story progression idealism, and current gameplay progression (yes I know it's contradictory). When I inevitably update this video, I'll likely include this list. Vor's Prize - Listed in the Video Once Awake - Listed in the Video Howl of the Kubrow - After Fusion Moa Event, Before Gradivus Dilemma Stolen Dreams - After the Gradivus Dillemma, Before Hunt for Alad V The Limbo Theorem - After the Hunt for Alad V Patient 0 - During the Mutalist Incursions, Before Tubemen of Regor The Archwing - After Gate Crash, Before Eyes of Blight A Man of Few Words - After Tubemen of Regor, Before Natah The New Strange - Before the Second Dream, After Stolen Dreams, (possibly after Second Dream? [Higher MR Req]) Natah - After Tubemen of Regor The Second Dream - After Natah, Before Operation Shadow Debt Sands of Inaros - After Operation Shadow Debt The Jordas Precept - After The Second Dream, After the New Strange Octavia's Anthem - After The Second Dream, After the New Strange The Silver Grove - After The Second Dream Hidden Messages - Before The War Within, After the Second Dream The War Within - After Operation Rathuum The Glast Gambit - After The War Within The Pacifism Defect - After Operation Rathuum, Before Chains of Harrow Ambulas/Ambulas Reborn - After the Glast Gambit Chains of Harrow - The actual most recent event on the timeline. After Ambulas Reborn. Honestly, it's a confusing mess, and a single re-interpretation of a timeline placement could rearrange the whole thing. Here's hoping they fix it someday.

[@aeriondorum687]

wait wheres does the pacifism defect fit in ?

[@StallordD]

After Rathuum, Before Chains of Harrow.

[@kyotra]

Hopefully that new writer DE hired a few months back is trying to fix the mess.

[@Tarak55571]

So I have some issues; in terms of this post, in particular, you saying that the new strange would be after the Second dream makes very little sense. The current star chart progression (as far as story progressing quests are concerned) actually makes perfect sense. We wake from our warframe's cryosleep and go on to discover that the infestation (which, to the best of my lore knowledge, we played a large part in containing during the Orokin era) was being experimented with and has gone out of control (as it does). After containing the direct threat we become aware of the Fomorians and the threat they pose and then obtain our first Archwing to use to handle the new threat. After this, we have Stolen Dreams, where we first become aware of the 'arcane machine' and its message albeit in a broken form. Then in the New Strange we stumble back upon the arcane machine's message in relation to something (as it turns out, a warframe being controlled by an unknown individual, possibly an acolyte of the stalker attempting to specifically wake the Sentient so that the stalker can use them to help him destroy the Tenno he so hates once and for all) and the complete version of the message ends up being broadcast, a rousing call to the Sentients; "All is silent and calm, hushed and empty is the womb of the sky." A call the Lotus would have used to signal the true end of the old war to the sentients after she destroyed the Tenno (had she completed the final sequence). After this, the Sentient fragments begin to awaken in response to the call and we discover this fact in Natah as Hunhow's fragments (And Hunhow himself, accidentally awoken and almost released by Tyl Regor) are awakening and scanning the current structures and entities on the planets in the solar system. After this, we have the second dream and the war within as the only truly 'main story' related quests remaining. the other quests do rather make sense where they fall in the star chart, you just have to look at them as what they are, quests that look back at Tenno and the warframes that they used that lived long ago and may have died during or after the Old War.

[@Mrbudu700]

But if Alad got cured why is he an infested boss now?

[@Seven7swords]

We really need to stop helping Alad V so much. Helping him comes back to screw the Tenno literally every time.

[@BlueBD]

Seven7swords when he stop giving looters a reason to support him we would stop

[@Samishii00]

To be fair we helped him be cured and didn't have a word since then.

[@thechosenone6156]

lets be honest he will help us one day he needs us now because where is he going to go to for help.... :D

[@mariano3113]

Samishii00 Samishii00 On PS4 we decided not to heal Alad V (Tubemen event) but then comes 2nd Dream and Alad V was healed anyway. Speaking of 2nd Dream @Stallordd in 2nd Dream Quest and Natah, Hunhow seems to know of the distinctions between Grineer, Corpus, and Orokin and yet still calls Alad V an Orokin. (Also Alad V seems to remember from experience the Great War, Moon being hidden/destroyed, Lotus identity etc... Like he was around at that time and not information that was simply passed on to him.) Is Alad V from the Orokin Empire? (But sided with Corpus)

[@Samishii00]

Because the lore is decided on PC ?

I was wondering exactly what Rell's story was. Chains of Harrow cleared up jack. Now Rell sounds like an unsung hero and I love it.

[@noabsolutelynot3660]

He was kind of a failed hero though. He intended to trap TMITW. but Mr. Wall-man still showed up at the end of The War Within.

[@yoelalexander9270]

Inaros the real hero

[@citizenvulpes4562]

Chains of harrow gave everything you needed for rell. He was autistic and kids are cruel so the rest of the tenno left him alone to fend for himself, he was trapped in the void and went into a mental struggle with the man in the wall who we now see after killing harrow. I got all of that just from playing the quest, did you not pay attention to dialogue?

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

I think you missed the origin of the Technocyte plague. During the old war, but likely before the Warframe project came to fruition, the Orokin created the Technocyte as a possible way to combat the Sentients. However, they could not control it, and isolated it, until it escaped and spread during the Great Plague. However, it's likely that Technocyte materials assisted in the development of the Warframes, so its creation wasn't a total loss.

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

Dark Sector, both for legal reasons, and because they have parts of the current lore that don't mesh with it, is entirely extra-canonical. You can have it as head-canon, but DE themselves have said that it isn't canon. Within the Warframe universe, the Orokin created the Infestation.

[@OPTIMUMELITE]

Dark Sector isn't cannon but the story is along a similar path.

[@mowa-mowa]

dark sector technocyte is more metally and shiny, warframe technocyte is just sagging masses of pus filled sacs of squishy flesh. there be differences, lad.

[@acedianPianist]

Fun fact, with the Plains of Eidolon, it's becoming more and more apparent that the Orokin actually used the Infestation to create huge swathes of their infrastructure. Where else would you get colossal and numerous living edifices of bone and meat? It was simply meticulously controlled to just one stable strain. I think that's, more than anything, why it was called the TECHNOcyte - not because it worked to change the properties of machines and metals and all of that, but because it was the very basis for Orokin technology. Bone towers and regenerative meat sheathes that interfaced with golden circuitry and such.

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

Sea Earl Punch It's also entirely possible that, being relative masters of genetic engineering and biology, that they found ways of creating such large organisms as their technology without using the Infestation. If they had such a stable strain, why even keep the unstable strains around? Besides, the walls of flesh in Cetus don't resemble Infestation at all.

There was a thing or two in here I missed over the years, nicely done.

[@dragonslayerteo5756]

Well done man. Very nice video. After playing for 5 years and getting the story in pieces, it's nice to hear it all at once. Great work.

[@m0bius]

Wow. I've been playing Warframe for a full year and this was very informative and compelling. Thank you for compiling this video in chronological order of the events. I wish I had started playing Warframe when I first got it in 2014... Nevertheless, Well done mate. This was a very interesting lore video indeed. Subbed.

[@Keevstar]

Id absolutely love if you remastered this once new war arrives.

[@unbeatable0552]

new war sucked.

[@chinchillageneral]

I regret only starting Warframe a year or so ago, I've missed so many events

[@tom4hawk]

I've seen this video about four times over the past two years, also around the time I started playing. This is exactly why I wish I had started playing right at the beginning.

[@coltonwatersmusic2319]

This has got me even more hyped about warframe ! Good work man, this must have taken forever so thanks for doing this !🙌

Man in the Fourth Wall

[@lersinclair5546]

You can be The Man In The Wall, without your will Warframes and even Tenno wouldn`t move an inch. Well, except when they do

[@demonintellect9834]

So if a Tenno doesn't know they have a physical form besides a Warframe is killed, does the tenno die? Like all the warframes cut up for the zanuka project. Their tennos didn't know that wasn't their physical bodies so did it just go full matrix on them and their mind kills themselves?

[@OPTIMUMELITE]

Demon Intellect It may be explained sooner or later.

[@demonintellect9834]

Jzilla it might be or else it will be left as an oversight.

[@acedianPianist]

Mirage, Limbo, and Valkyr are good examples that can be used to answer your question. Namely, both Mirage and Limbo died excruciatingly - in Mirage's case, her original operator perished in the Lotus' arms while they tried to surge the revive system. But she sustained too much damage - and continued to sustain damage - in a Sentient assault. Limbo was torn completely apart by a miscalculating whilst rift-walking, scattering his body parts completely across the system. Whereas Valkyr's powers were permanently warped by the intense pain and suffering she endured when Alad V and the Zanuka Project had her captured and vivisected. Let me bring this all together by mentioning: The Operator states that Transference hurts, and they can feel it whenever they go down. I'd assume that is true, even in dream-state. Basically - it doesn't matter if they aren't aware of having a physical form, they feel pain all the same, and if that pain exceeds their body's capabilities and their pod's support, they could very well die. It's also not confirmed whether the Warframes and the Tenno's version of Oro conforms to the Orokin and Sentient versions of Oro. So the statement in the video about Mirage dying because her 'Oro' was destroyed is uncertain. For clarification: Oro is like an imprint of the soul, created by exposure to the Void; currently, we have three examples/origins for Oro, two are completely artificial - these would be the Orokin and Sentient versions of Oro - while the last one is entirely natural and is held by the Tenno. As mentioned above, we don't know if there is any difference between manufactured Oro and natural Oro. I also have a pet theory that ties Oro into where all of the Warframes' powers come from, and also thereby explaining how Valkyr's powers were warped. Complete blind speculation: the Void exists as an infinite and twisted space that responds to living beings in strange (and eldritch) ways, and imprinting an exposed person's consciousness is one of those ways - this results in Oro. Uncontrolled, the Void causes complete madness in developed humans, but it caught the Zariman children in a developmental state where constant exposure wouldn't drive them utterly mad, but also leave a lasting print within the Void; their powers developed in this medium and they would never be without the Void's influence again. These lasting imprints of the children would then be honed and calmed through Transference therapy, and eventually harnessed through personally built foci - the Warframes, golems built from flesh. When a warframe was built, it was likely conditioned to its original user and its powers, thereby aiding in accessing that individual child's imprint - their Oro. Through training and battle, the operators' Oro developed and their powers became more and more defined. Various iterations of the Warframes went about as the operators learned to utilize their kits, and some models eventually made it into mass-production with the original user's powerset retained through easily replicated biological processes and technological assistance. Now, we come to Valkyr. Valkyr was vivisected by the Corpus, but she survived. The pain was excruciating enough that it completely warped her Oro - her very soul and its imprint in the Void, forever staining her powers and replacing bits and pieces of it with rage and animal ferocity, making it so that even older models of Valkyr had powers conforming to her new state of rage and hysteria, and not any previous powerset. (Which was likely not incredibly different, but themed around the concept of a Valkyrie.)

[@JoeMartinez18]

No... as Hunhow told in the quest " A second dream" to the Stalker " You slay them, yet they rise again". To kill a Warframed Tenno, you have to steal their endo or Oro... or what ever XD

[@fusiontoa18]

Marsupilami Sea Earl Punch is bullshit man lel

[@toxicwhorestar]

I know why D.E. made their game lore so cryptic. The Tenno are thrust into a world they barely understand with their memories lost. It only makes sense, in terms of intense roleplay, to keep the Tenno ignorant and force them to slowly piece together the chronology as they hunt bosses and clear planets. This was a great help in helping me understand the pieces I have uncovered. Thank you.

[@LegendaryDesu]

Stallord, I love your analysis of events.

I hadn't spent much time bothering with Orokin lore so the first portion of the video was new to me, thanks.

[@samuelreyes5546]

What an awesome video! I love how this includes the Operations which newer players didn't get to play so they missed a lot of lore. Thank you for this, and I'll be waiting for more lore videos after the next big quests

Just ran a raid with you. You're the man!

[@TenaciousBuns]

Good video bro, but i have a question, what about primes? When did that stuff start?

[@StallordD]

What do you mean?

[@fatalequinox6553]

Mike Youte the primes were the first forms of the weapons created that were later released as mass produced versions (normal weapons). The primes are stronger because they're a close or exact replica of the original Orikin weapons.

[@StallordD]

^

[@TenaciousBuns]

Oh

[@Sorain1]

There are exceptions to that, like the Helios Prime and Odonata Prime. Both are examples of enhancing non-Orokin designs with superior Orokin tech and materials. The Seer pistol is essentially a primitive Grineer attempt at doing the same, but is more of a cudged together thing then proper integration.

[@JulioLopez-jo7pe]

SOOO planning on making a new one??? Would love to see an updated one!

[@LeGrandPleb]

Nope, still lost. Good video though. It isn't the fault of the game per se, but it's kind of sad that I have 1,625 hours and counting and yet I'm still lost for words when asked, "hey, what's that game about?"...

I have maybe 200ish hours in the game and I could easily tell you what the game's about.

[@thozzakthedragon1495]

Why does Warframe not have a story mode?

[@igamingmp1526]

The Death Inferno Lord Because warframe has multipal and different stories.

[@Yorikoification]

Well the quests are essentially Warframe story mode, events link into the story as well which is a real shame if you miss any...

[@MealeaYing]

The trick with the quests is they tell you stuff while someone's trying to kill you.

[@MeldinX2]

Well the sacrifice update questline does have abit more of a story feel to it. I hope they continue with doing more of those.

[@katlanier4413]

[@GearandGames]

Thank you so much for this video. One of the reasons I started playing this game was the story of how everything came to be, but it was (and somewhat is) a bit confusing. Thank you for clarifying a lot of it. Next time I make a video, I'm going to mention this for anyone interested.

[@Sound_Tech]

Gotta say this gives me some appreciation for some of the mindless tasks I did in game now that I have a better grasp of the context. Thank you very much.

[@billyshipley3967]

Well done! ☺

[@chitandaeru7239]

Awsome vid~! how long does it take for you to piece things together like this?
