most important revelation of the quest is ordis calling out umbra's name during the stealth section, implying uncle umbra just sorta chills and fucks around on the orbiter while we do our thing
Hunhows message after the quest is also really sad. His wife died and both of kids left him and now his new roomie is running off. But he remains, the Great and Terrible Hunhow.
Fr that what i thinked too Don't get me wrong Hunhow did a lot of bad things in the old war But damn it make you sad asf see a literally warmachine having a depression because is now alone
TBF Stalker is kind of the result of "the Plan". We wouldn't know who he will side with, if Natah didn't flip the switch making Tenno slaughter the Orokin.
I am more terrified of the various trouble years that happen during growing up. imagine the terrible toddler years and the angsty teen years except its a warframe, So like one tantrum could depopulate an entire starship.
@@swordbrotherulbrecht3286parvos has certainly better practices than nef Anyio, but he is also a boomer from the worst era trying to destroy the tenno using the very same medium that Nef used to abuse people.
Major note: Parvos does not seem to care about Sirius/Orion. He is after the motes instead and seems to view Jade's heir as something that is done and not of his concern. So he and Xeto seem to agree that it was ok to let stalker leave.
The guy loses his wife, gets shot in the foot, has to form an alliance with the person he hates the most, becomes a single father... And then the son of a bitch of a tenno uses the guy's wife as armor...
@@RaikeranI thought the same but different circumstances, it was probably gone (their first infant) when they were turned into Warframes. Jade and stalker's consciousness is fragmented but lingered still until the fall of the Orokin. The quest could possibly be the conclusion of jade's innate desire and effort in all these times, a last ditch effort, to create something impossible to bear fruit of what was stolen from them, a chance to make a family out from their own.
Ballas: [Turns a pregnant mother and her husband into Warframes as punishment for their forbidden love] Me: *We didn't kill Ballas and the Orokin hard enough.*
This quest made genocide against the orokin turn into "Well, congratulations, after seeing that post, I've completely decided that tower of babel didn't go far enough"
2 things 1. Hunhow is best boss "My employee left without a 2-week notice to be a single dad. Wish the best for him. Here, wear his dead wife as skin" 2. Stalker has joined a very exclusive club. The "edgy dad excalibur variant" club
The idea that the stalker can just pop into our ship but he just doesn't do it is actually terrifying. Also the quest was amazing it's been a long time since I got emotional in warframe.
I mean, he's done it once before too, surprised people have forgotten. And yeah, the Emotional impact of this "30 minute" quest had me in tears, tge music alone was just incredible
It amazed me when I experienced this quest on how wide of a vocal range Gianni has, I'm glad Digital Extremes were able to express his voice skills by him voicing all the choirs in the soundtrack. Jokes aside, this quest is genuinely so good. A shame it was quite short, but I can't wait to see the follow-ups on this story!
I felt the same. The quest does provide a lot of interesting ideas, but I can't help that it feels like the synopsis is the only thing that was written. There could have been extra ideas to be added to make it longer, or bring more investment. I hoping that the following quests focus on this
Ngl, I like the scene where the Corpus let Stalker and the baby go. Between the clear curiosity and recognizing that what was going on to the point that they just decided to let them go, is one of the many reminders that, despite how different all these factions are visually and ideologically, they're all still human.
Yeah, but what always bothered me about that is parvo's granum is an a****** he would have had that b**** executed via sister of parvos if he ever learned about Jade's existence which he kind of does so did that admiral did he just never learn that they let that that she let stalker go or is she dead? I kind of want to follow up on that
Yeah and it opened up new doors since FIRST EVERY NATURALLY BORN WARFRAME! I really hope those two return as characters since that kid will be an apex of all sapient warframe since I doubt they’ll have to deal with all that insanity stuff.
Thankfully he at least won't have a landlord to fight with. God imagine if a landlord saw a traumatized single father? That'd be such a good chance to up the rent ten-fold, maybe more!
I would be interested to see if DE explores what consequences fell on the shoulders of this captain for letting the stalker get away with an easy to capture infant Warframe.
Was probably the second most shocking thing to me here. Thought they'd be more soulless. I know a child ain't a kavat, but reading Khora's lore truly solidified them as a group that'd sell their own mother AND their own nuts for profit. But here, especially after Parvos started commanding? Surprising honestly. Maybe there is still something human below them. I don't even fully know if they are vat-grown soldiers or procreated normally, which would explain how they may have felt SOME compassion. (though that is shaky as an explaination)
Ah, the benevolent child genocider manipilator megalomaniac pregnant-woman-helminthed-making psychopath, thank thee indeed for making us ALL uncomfortable to the core on that one! The other Orokin take credit for that too as another top 10 reason why these golden idiots deserved some torture before death maybe)
@@ThisIsGlitch The rest apparently did know. The whole reason they were to be executed was out of dating outside of their castes, likely due to Sorren being a lower caste guardian, and because the Orokin Council were infamous for their pettiness... Oh, and another thing I realized... I never heard mention of said council members having any children of their own... Sounds to me like they knew of Jade and Sorren conceiving a child... And being envious of them.
The reach the surface cutscene is like the movie "children of men" when everyone stop shooting their guns when they heard a baby cry for the first time in years
You know, going into the quest my theory was Jade would be the stalker's "stalker" the "angel that hunts a demon" kinda thing. I was NOT expecting push push revolution with his wife, and then naming the warframe baby. I went with Sirius as the name to give Stalky a legacy since it seems like thats the name she wanted to use.
Oddly enough I got spoiled beforehand, but not in the way I anticipated. At first I opened the quest and it warned about motherhood trauma (or whatever the warning actually said) of which I thought it might've gotten to do with Stalker killing his mother during the Naga Drums. So, I figured "right might as well get my loadout ready just in case", after which I opened my arsenal with Jade in it (I whaled) and here is where I found the button of "glory" which opens her feathers up, and just... My heart sunk when I saw the frame and put two and two together. Going into the quest knowing she's been dying because of her child inside and then ACTUALLY dying in the end fucked me up, and I actually genuinely felt uncomfortable with using her for a bit. Maybe it's because it personally hits home deeper due to my own IRL experiences, but to me this was one of the more, if not most emotional quests from Warframe - and that's saying a lot with the Sacrifice also being so incredibly well-regarded. I only wish it was a bit longer so we could've seen Stalker try to take care of Jade a bit more, really getting the last ditch efforts in, but... I commend DE for doing it so tastefully and emotionally impactful (instead of just "oh she dead lmao"), and tbh, I do feel like the warning was warranted at the start. Short, but great quest, I am curious what this will lead to lore-wise! Also high five, also named the baby "Orion" in my playthrough! :D
The themes of childhood trauma and parenthood throughout warframe make it unlike any other game on the market. It’s story hits you in ways you never expect. I bought Jade and went to customise her, the second I hit glory her glowing womb caught me so off guard, the trigger warning told me exactly what was going to happen. I named the kid Sirius, I feel that that’s what Jade would’ve wanted
@@talion4033 i didnt see it, but if i saw it beforehand i wouldnt have thought it was a baby, i would have thought it was the same deal as grendel: incredible powersource being produced there
Yeah, stalker better keep them safe. That kid will most likely not have to deal with the insanity caused by becoming infested since they were born that way, they are absolutely freaking unique.
An interesting point, however, is that another name for the Man In The Wall is "The Indifference". And as we learned with Loid in the Whispers of the Wall, the opposite of indifference is Love. Loid losing his love for albrecht made the entrati labs more vulnerable to the Murmur's advance, but when he rekindled a spark of it by the end of that quest, it was enough to restore a stalemate. In short, love repels ol' Wally, so I actually forsee Sirius/Orion becoming pivotal in the fight against Wally.
I was so excited for this quest that when I saw the "trauma about motherhood" warning I was expecting more mommy issues jokes. ...I couldn’t have been more wrong, because I was not expecting Stalker and Jade to be people without Operators, turned into Warframes. I was not expecting Stalker and Jade to be lovers, even in their new "broken" states as Warframes. But most of all in my wildest fuckin' dreams, did I not expect Jade to be pregnant EVEN AS A WARFRAME, and the implications that Ballas, in his infinite lack of compassion but infinite sadism, turned Sorren's expecting wife into a fucking Warframe. The amount of anguish I felt for Sorren in that moment was unfathomable dude... I'm so glad Xeto and the Corpus had enough humanity and sympathy to let Sorren go with his child somewhere safe on Lua where they wouldn't be found. This quest was a perfect 10/10, would cry again. I named his child Sirius, knowing that's what Jade would have hopefully wanted.
The most interesting part to me is that the Stalker leaves when the operator is using Jade when the Stalker spawns in a mission. NGL, it made me uncomfortable to use Jade for a while when that happened. because it's the most effed up thing we could've done is we clone her former partner then use her shell as a puppet, the last thing the Stalker needs to see.
I wish Umbra appeared blocking Stalker for a moment, until taking a better look at him and realizing he's just like him and not there to kill the Operator...
It's perceivable how serious you took the quest for the amount of jokes (not a bad thing tho, the quest was short but very bittersweet. Comparable to the umbra's quest, one of the best ones). I thought you would name your son *SHAAAAUUUNN*
I mean yeah, it’s a naturally born warframe, probably won’t have any struggles with insanity and aggression that made warframes require operators in the first place. They’ll grow into their nature instead of being forced into a new one like prior warframes. Wonder what powers they’ll develop?
So the two names, I did some researching about them. Orion defining as "heaven's light" so for the Stalker, he could see his child, the last bit of light that reminds him of Jade, his heaven. And Sirius meaning "glowing" or "scorcher", possibly hinting that the child may have inhereted their mother's power, that being to channel the fabled yet infamous Jade light.
Jesus... I think this is the most emotional quest I've seen come out of this game since the end of New War, where you decide which form of Lotus is considered the "main" one Poor Stalker, dude. I used to give this guy so much shit for just...appearing at the most inconvenient times...but this...actually makes me feel for the guy. Damn shame that this quest was so short, but call me crazy, I don't think this is exactly "it" for Stalker's part in the story just yet.
@@lazyvoid7107 That, I 100% agree with. There were definitely some things here and there that could've been done better, like...hell, I dunno, have the Tenno help Stalker repair the War sword and have him as an ally in the final battle against Ballas or something. But hey, it's Warframe, nothing is ever "truly" perfect, no matter what ya wanna say, everything could be done better in some capacity (just lookit poor Chroma nowadays compared to when he was released in 2015...sad really)... But I wouldn't have it any other way I love this absolute roller-coaster of a video game and (most) of it's community, and I wouldn't have this shenaniganry any other way
God, I loved this quest so much, and that ending scene of Stalker walking through the Corpus with his baby nearly made me cry. The soundtrack was absolutely stellar too, the chorus, the drums, all of it perfectly melded together. This quest made me really think of Hunhow’s line from the second dream “you still hate yourself”, and perhaps it was deeper than we originally thought. The guilt of his forbidden relationship leading to his wife becoming a Warframe, how Stalker only harms the frames and not the human Tenno, he’s lost so much of his humanity but still clings on with Jade, I really hope DE continues with Stalker even more
7:57 That moment with the Scythe was so damn cool, he (and I making it ridiculous on purpouse) is using the power of his dead wife to subvert the power of his signature weapon, HATE.
If i had a credit for each time a faceless ninja-like war veteran dude using a weird melee weapons in an anti-utopian sci-fi\cyberpunk with weird and twisted leaders at top of the country setting goes on a rampage after his wife dies because of some unpredicted and wacky reasons only to then finally settle the conflict with arch-nemesis to move on and disappear, in a game made by relatively small studio ,i would have 3 credits, which is very darn weird.
@@Naskoova Yep! Just had it happen; Stalker does not choose to fight you and leaves. Also if you're not using Jade and you have finished the quest, he's no longer "Shadow Stalker" (just Stalker) and seems to be less aggressive towards you/aggros enemies more.
They probably intended the Juggernaut Behemoth to be a roadblock like Amar was for me in TNW, but Stalker's 3 does a good job in shutting off its brain! Not to mention the crit boost while unseen passive.
this quest actually did almost bring me to crying, and it actually reminded me of the love i already have in my own life. even though me and my girlfriend are too young to have children of our own (m15 and f16), it still reminds me of the things i would do for her, and our child, and because of that i end this comment with this Jade Shadows is a good fucking quest
Man, such a short quest that gave me so many more questions, but honestly feels like it could be a perfect end to the Stalker saga. I would definitely like more info and lore to what Sorren was before, but maybe through tidbits like fragments or some easter eggs, or special encounters, idk, just not a full quest. Otherwise it would feel like they're milking the same character for engagement (to me at least), and honestly, however bittersweet Jade's death was, Stalker may finally lay down his weapons and have a life of his own, secluded somewhere on Lua or Earth. Just a good ending for such a tragic character honestly! Now for the real deal - how the hell does a warframe baby work. Is it sentient like any infested creature? Is it able to grow? Will Sorren gamble his future child's colledge funds away? (no wait who put that there)
For anyone who wonders heres my theroy. Jade was already pregnant before she was turned into a Warframe and the warframe she was in was like a vessel that was made by ballis and he created it to fit a mother and child but he had to wait for that right time until maybe jade was brought before ballis because she maybe got caught. Anr ballis could have killed her and the baby inside her and transfer her and the babys soul and energy to that new Warframe. Warframes that are like a robot loking one cant just alter their looks as if that was already pre made by the otokin like i said just waiting for the perfect Vitim to be put inside that Warframe from continuity. And that also probably why she wasnt fighting to stay alive because her energy or continuity wasn't processed correctly. Just my theory it could be completely false
so this quest has been being made for a bit, like before someone asked that question on if warframes can be knocked up, Now I know why Reb was a bit cagey. It was not because the question was weird but because they already had a warframe with a kid. Though I very strongly suspect Jade was pregnant before she got uh framed, My theory was she was still very very early in when it was still in the clump of cells stage. The orokin mad that their low guardian did the bedroom tango, Decided to punish by turning both into warframes and the added fun of seeing what happens when you convert someone who is in early pregnancy because that is the kind of cruel shit the Orokin would do.
Captain Xeto .... gonna call her captain Cheeto by now, character design catched me by surprise, seeing that fancy grandma hair after years of seeing bald guy or helment wearing guy with covered eyes finally seeing someone with some kind of fancy different style almost made me start disassociating during the quest every time i saw her
This quest here is a prologue for the New warframes: Sorren - all of the Duviri Stalker's abilities, but with even more spins and improvements , so not Ash clone with Excalibur's body anymore. Sirius/Orion - the long-awaited modal Wardrame, that can be fully customised with various options and various selections for their abilities and stats. New quest - final battle against Tau that somehow gained the power from the remains of Man In The Wall, after we brutally unalived him. Both warframes are rewarded from each stage of the quest.
The Kratos of Warframe And that's hands down the best quest we had in YEARS, it took me a whole day to finally let go the quest. Final scene left me speechless because I had infinite amount of "What if?". Thankfully they're all were just in my head.

The themes of childhood trauma and parenthood throughout warframe make it unlike any other game on the market. It’s story hits you in ways you never expect.
I bought Jade and went to customise her, the second I hit glory her glowing womb caught me so off guard, the trigger warning told me exactly what was going to happen.
I named the kid Sirius, I feel that that’s what Jade would’ve wanted
@@talion4033 i didnt see it, but if i saw it beforehand i wouldnt have thought it was a baby, i would have thought it was the same deal as grendel: incredible powersource being produced there
Oh trust me, I nearly cried from this quest, I don't describe Warframe as beautiful but I can make an exception this one time
Assuming that the Man in the Wall really is attracted by uniqueness, how likely it is that this child will become a major plot point in future events?
Yeah, stalker better keep them safe. That kid will most likely not have to deal with the insanity caused by becoming infested since they were born that way, they are absolutely freaking unique.
An interesting point, however, is that another name for the Man In The Wall is "The Indifference". And as we learned with Loid in the Whispers of the Wall, the opposite of indifference is Love. Loid losing his love for albrecht made the entrati labs more vulnerable to the Murmur's advance, but when he rekindled a spark of it by the end of that quest, it was enough to restore a stalemate.
In short, love repels ol' Wally, so I actually forsee Sirius/Orion becoming pivotal in the fight against Wally.

@@notanyone1093 "what does that even mean?"
I was so excited for this quest that when I saw the "trauma about motherhood" warning I was expecting more mommy issues jokes.
...I couldn’t have been more wrong, because I was not expecting Stalker and Jade to be people without Operators, turned into Warframes. I was not expecting Stalker and Jade to be lovers, even in their new "broken" states as Warframes. But most of all in my wildest fuckin' dreams, did I not expect Jade to be pregnant EVEN AS A WARFRAME, and the implications that Ballas, in his infinite lack of compassion but infinite sadism, turned Sorren's expecting wife into a fucking Warframe. The amount of anguish I felt for Sorren in that moment was unfathomable dude...
I'm so glad Xeto and the Corpus had enough humanity and sympathy to let Sorren go with his child somewhere safe on Lua where they wouldn't be found. This quest was a perfect 10/10, would cry again. I named his child Sirius, knowing that's what Jade would have hopefully wanted.
I was expecting from the "trauma about motherhood"
That stalker just had mother issues and jade was his mom before
Not thia depression...
DE the only people that would allow a pregnant women to do a back-flip
And double jump, wall run.
And smoke
What about Wolfenstein?
at this rate next quest will be umbra teaching stalker how to be a parent
Jade is 2 minutes in screen,says 1 word 2 times and SHE IS BETTER BUILD THEN FULL CARACTERS IN FULL SERIES
Baby Powered Scythe, lets go
People talk about pregante warframe, but skip the fact that we put our Operator throught the worse cramp simulator on the whole system.
If you have a male operator they canonically know both the pain of childbirth and being kicked in the balls.
Oh god...
He has both extremes and now knows true pain
Dam to experience the stalkers past and power is truly a joyous and sad thing to see i actually feel sorry for him now
Never before has a boss turned from a nuisance to someone I genuinely care about in a video game.
The most interesting part to me is that the Stalker leaves when the operator is using Jade when the Stalker spawns in a mission. NGL, it made me uncomfortable to use Jade for a while when that happened. because it's the most effed up thing we could've done is we clone her former partner then use her shell as a puppet, the last thing the Stalker needs to see.
why do i feel like the baby is gonna end up as a new frame and de is giving us the chase to vote for the name
Imagine if the baby grows into a Warframe and its name changes based on your choices
@@chippler5822 stalker mortified when i beat him with his own child
Imagine his son become you allie but stalker still hunting you or he both hunting you and his own son in the future💀💀💀
I think the best part of this quest is that you *still* get hunted by the stalker afterwards.
Diapers ain't cheap.
Diapers ain't cheap and it's back to business and a professional relationship
If you are playing jade when he spawns, he actually refuses to fight you and just leaves.
@@ninjab33z wait for real?
@@Luna-pg6xd yeah, had it happen earlier. Pretty sure he even drops loot still.
this is up there with the sacrifice for me.
Even before the the big reveal the quest had me crying. The music is just so damn beautiful
I wish Umbra appeared blocking Stalker for a moment, until taking a better look at him and realizing he's just like him and not there to kill the Operator...
A story about the pain of losing love, and the importance of protecting the next generation.
Porn Addicts: WARFRAMES HAVE SEX????
Well, she was made into a warframe while pregnant. The warframe didn't get preg, Ballas turned her while she was preg.
@@AllyMonsters r/whoosh.
@@AllyMonsters Batman there is no law against Warframe, I can do whatever I want with it!
It's perceivable how serious you took the quest for the amount of jokes (not a bad thing tho, the quest was short but very bittersweet. Comparable to the umbra's quest, one of the best ones).
I thought you would name your son *SHAAAAUUUNN*
The most OP entity in the Warframe universe has just been born
Ur comment might age extremely well...
I mean yeah, it’s a naturally born warframe, probably won’t have any struggles with insanity and aggression that made warframes require operators in the first place. They’ll grow into their nature instead of being forced into a new one like prior warframes. Wonder what powers they’ll develop?
@@ERBanmech It'll probably inherit some helminth strain related abilities being natural born as you said
@@ERBanmech so it could be like a stronger less traumatized umbra
@@namedlessmaybe our next new umbra type
Told a friend to avoid spoilers, because absolutely nothing could have prepared me for this.
So the two names, I did some researching about them.
Orion defining as "heaven's light" so for the Stalker, he could see his child, the last bit of light that reminds him of Jade, his heaven.
And Sirius meaning "glowing" or "scorcher", possibly hinting that the child may have inhereted their mother's power, that being to channel the fabled yet infamous Jade light.
I can't believe DK's Stalker Family series was canon all along.
Dude I almost cried with this, I'm so in love with this quest. I want more stalker quests
Jesus...
I think this is the most emotional quest I've seen come out of this game since the end of New War, where you decide which form of Lotus is considered the "main" one
Poor Stalker, dude. I used to give this guy so much shit for just...appearing at the most inconvenient times...but this...actually makes me feel for the guy.
Damn shame that this quest was so short, but call me crazy, I don't think this is exactly "it" for Stalker's part in the story just yet.
NEW WAR isn't perfect
@@lazyvoid7107 That, I 100% agree with. There were definitely some things here and there that could've been done better, like...hell, I dunno, have the Tenno help Stalker repair the War sword and have him as an ally in the final battle against Ballas or something.
But hey, it's Warframe, nothing is ever "truly" perfect, no matter what ya wanna say, everything could be done better in some capacity (just lookit poor Chroma nowadays compared to when he was released in 2015...sad really)...
But I wouldn't have it any other way
I love this absolute roller-coaster of a video game and (most) of it's community, and I wouldn't have this shenaniganry any other way
So who's coming with me to the void to kick ballas's ass once again
All I could think of was how he basically walked up on us, in our ship, just because he could.
Why didn't he do it since? Maybe it was too easy
Tried to kill us in our ship, found out that shit doesnt work because the tenno is unkillable
God, I loved this quest so much, and that ending scene of Stalker walking through the Corpus with his baby nearly made me cry. The soundtrack was absolutely stellar too, the chorus, the drums, all of it perfectly melded together. This quest made me really think of Hunhow’s line from the second dream “you still hate yourself”, and perhaps it was deeper than we originally thought. The guilt of his forbidden relationship leading to his wife becoming a Warframe, how Stalker only harms the frames and not the human Tenno, he’s lost so much of his humanity but still clings on with Jade, I really hope DE continues with Stalker even more
0:34 I don’t know why, but after hearing the Stalker’s deep voice for so long, the snoring is just killing me 😂
Who would have thought the noob slayer would have such a heart touching moment
I hope gianni makes some memes with his stalker voice
So gianni is now the father's righteous hand and a single father
@@dankmemes8254 i find it funny that
Jade is basicly an orphim(angel thing)
And since gianni voices stalker and gabrial its kinda funny
*I MUST PROTECT THE CHILD*
I think i never saw bluprint take a Quest so serious this.... Is possible?
I am glad I didn’t read or watch any spoiler post/videos
I am surprised no one even made any video on the quest at all for the first 12 hours
When they said The Stalker has a connection with Jade, I didn't expect it would come to this 💥
7:57 That moment with the Scythe was so damn cool, he (and I making it ridiculous on purpouse) is using the power of his dead wife to subvert the power of his signature weapon, HATE.
Too bad the skin doesn't work with the Incarnon
If i had a credit for each time a faceless ninja-like war veteran dude using a weird melee weapons in an anti-utopian sci-fi\cyberpunk with weird and twisted leaders at top of the country setting goes on a rampage after his wife dies because of some unpredicted and wacky reasons only to then finally settle the conflict with arch-nemesis to move on and disappear, in a game made by relatively small studio ,i would have 3 credits, which is very darn weird.
lets face it, the child birth mini game is peak warframe
"I miss my wife tenno"
Loved when ordis went ballistic as he tried to purge stalker
and I encounted stalker after MY FIRST NORMAL MISSON FROM THAT!
happy fathers day sorren the stalker!!!!
we are sorry for your loss!!!!
Baby is born
Immediately starts doing backflips and swinging a syche around like hes not hold a baby
it's funny because he spawned the very next mission i did after this quest.
like bro what are you doing you have a kid now leave me alone
I think there is an interaction if there is a Jade present.
@@Naskoova Yep! Just had it happen; Stalker does not choose to fight you and leaves. Also if you're not using Jade and you have finished the quest, he's no longer "Shadow Stalker" (just Stalker) and seems to be less aggressive towards you/aggros enemies more.
Be really funny if he shows up with his kid in hand but also got a massive buff/rework
Man beats your ass with one arm and leaves
@@ariesforce1988cool! Kinda like a neutral hostile party. Can legitimately be helpful.
1 thing about the quest was the soundtrack. Really makes me feel the desperation that the was felt in the quest. If only there was a somachord tone😢
I can’t believe the stalker is actually columbo/duke nukem
Didn't know Gabriel Ultrakill would be a father😢
We ckuld view this quest as "parental instincts break goverments"
Bruh I heard the snoring sound effect I was like 'where the fk was this when I played' then I realized I'm stoopid
4:02 Damn, Ordis was ready to take down Stalker by himself 😂😂
5:53 - I know it’s supposed to be comedic, but I cheesed my run by spamming 3 and sniping with Dread. So easy.
They probably intended the Juggernaut Behemoth to be a roadblock like Amar was for me in TNW, but Stalker's 3 does a good job in shutting off its brain! Not to mention the crit boost while unseen passive.
10:48 doing those crazy parkour movements would probably not be very good for the baby's health ☹️
this quest actually did almost bring me to crying, and it actually reminded me of the love i already have in my own life. even though me and my girlfriend are too young to have children of our own (m15 and f16), it still reminds me of the things i would do for her, and our child, and because of that i end this comment with this
Jade Shadows is a good fucking quest
Man, such a short quest that gave me so many more questions, but honestly feels like it could be a perfect end to the Stalker saga. I would definitely like more info and lore to what Sorren was before, but maybe through tidbits like fragments or some easter eggs, or special encounters, idk, just not a full quest. Otherwise it would feel like they're milking the same character for engagement (to me at least), and honestly, however bittersweet Jade's death was, Stalker may finally lay down his weapons and have a life of his own, secluded somewhere on Lua or Earth. Just a good ending for such a tragic character honestly!
Now for the real deal - how the hell does a warframe baby work. Is it sentient like any infested creature? Is it able to grow? Will Sorren gamble his future child's colledge funds away? (no wait who put that there)
Crossing out Stalker Space Daddy off my Warframe bingo card.
First time i see an actually serious bluprint video, i love this quest being honest so thanks blup, loved the video
First umbra, now jade. Orokin is a fucking disgrace
For anyone who wonders heres my theroy. Jade was already pregnant before she was turned into a Warframe and the warframe she was in was like a vessel that was made by ballis and he created it to fit a mother and child but he had to wait for that right time until maybe jade was brought before ballis because she maybe got caught. Anr ballis could have killed her and the baby inside her and transfer her and the babys soul and energy to that new Warframe. Warframes that are like a robot loking one cant just alter their looks as if that was already pre made by the otokin like i said just waiting for the perfect Vitim to be put inside that Warframe from continuity. And that also probably why she wasnt fighting to stay alive because her energy or continuity wasn't processed correctly. Just my theory it could be completely false
be cool if the tenno helped us fight in the quest mission with what ever loadout we last had on
I liked that scene when Xeto orders the Corpus to stop shooting. Reminds me a little of Children of Men.
so this quest has been being made for a bit, like before someone asked that question on if warframes can be knocked up, Now I know why Reb was a bit cagey. It was not because the question was weird but because they already had a warframe with a kid. Though I very strongly suspect Jade was pregnant before she got uh framed, My theory was she was still very very early in when it was still in the clump of cells stage. The orokin mad that their low guardian did the bedroom tango, Decided to punish by turning both into warframes and the added fun of seeing what happens when you convert someone who is in early pregnancy because that is the kind of cruel shit the Orokin would do.
The scene where the Corpus stop firing and stare in curiosity and amazement reminded me of the scene from Children of Men.
The setup for big things, is astounding.
Warframes get pregnant, saryn is no longer safe
…. Someone got tumblr in my space ninja game.
Captain Xeto .... gonna call her captain Cheeto by now, character design catched me by surprise, seeing that fancy grandma hair after years of seeing bald guy or helment wearing guy with covered eyes finally seeing someone with some kind of fancy different style almost made me start disassociating during the quest every time i saw her
"Tenno Hunter"
thats cute, but really, at this point, the Stalker is more just an insect we swat for entertainment
This quest here is a prologue for the New warframes:
Sorren - all of the Duviri Stalker's abilities, but with even more spins and improvements , so not Ash clone with Excalibur's body anymore.
Sirius/Orion - the long-awaited modal Wardrame, that can be fully customised with various options and various selections for their abilities and stats.
New quest - final battle against Tau that somehow gained the power from the remains of Man In The Wall, after we brutally unalived him.
Both warframes are rewarded from each stage of the quest.
sullivan, give me the child!
Theres no laws agianst the warframes lotus i can do whatever i want
The Kratos of Warframe
And that's hands down the best quest we had in YEARS, it took me a whole day to finally let go the quest.
Final scene left me speechless because I had infinite amount of "What if?". Thankfully they're all were just in my head.
Me to myself. Stalker lore won't make you cry.
Stalker lore in 2024. Buenos Dias Fuckboii.
