This part of the quest made me cry so hard, i never actually cried for anyone/anything in any video game or movie because it never really connected with me on such a personal level. Umbra's story resonates with me and reminds me a bit of my own life. Not the whole being turned into a warframe thing. but the fact that i always remember the worst moments from my life and they play in my head on repeat. When i saw him trembling on his knees under that tree i couldnt hold back my tears.

"We gave them quite literally some of the most unpleasant experiences ever to be concocted by a living mind. We still don't get why they rebelled."

My brothers in the Void, I will never feel bad for genociding the Orokin.

[eiohnanananunu]

Imagine how far gone the Orokin are that they just described Empathy, and they view is as something as so inconcievable and bizzare that they don't understand how it works.

The voice actor for Ballas is spectacular

The Tenno's ability to control the warframes wasn't because they were special. Of course, Transference is necessary to control them, but the Orokin were more than capable of replicating it with technology.

No, what made the Tenno special was that they had something that the Orokin elite lacked - empathy. They showed kindness in a culture that had completely forgotten what kindness was.

You can see, by how people like Ballas speak of the Tenno, how _alien_ of a concept this is to them. How can someone be so kind to such a broken, biomechanical monster?

When the Warframes, when they were all autonomous like Umbra, went 'mad', that was not madness, it was rebellion. An act of lashing out against their abusers.

No wonder the Warframes and Tenno got along with each other. Both were suffered under Balas, and both found peace and solitude with each other. The Tenno calms the nightmares and terrors of the Warframes, while the Warframes protects the Tenno from harm and act as their surrogate bodies.

Tenno:*Shows compassion, sympathy and empathy*

Warframes: *genocides the orokin on the Tenno's behalf*

I'll always hate ballas, but his his characterization is soo good that you just have to love it

[dAni-ikhv]

DE is the only company i know that can turn a relatively simple 'get a new character' quest into a primary source of information into the backstory of one of the key elements of warframe

[kratkartan]

Orokin be jelly that the Tenno actually have compassion and empathy for the Warframes. Warframes sided with the Tenno because they understood their pain.

[Nostroman_Praetor]

Balas' words regarding our relationship to our Warframes is spot on. We take something ugly and/or unfit to do what we want it to do, and with time make it blossom into something we can love.

[liberty-theonewhoalwayschanges]

I love how ballas talks about stuff we wouldn't be able to fully understand until a couple years later with the new quests, that feeling, God i love it

[mr.ptolemy]

The idea that empathy and compassion is foreign to Ballas makes a lot of sense

[eggsnducks]

So does that mean that all original warframes had lives before then and were tortured, and the children of the zairman who were also traumatized, all found some kind of a trauma buddy?
Excuse me while I go cry...

The orokin deserved every punishment they got

[girl]

The Orokin were so lost in their supposed superiority that the very idea of love and empathy is alien to them. That's all it ever was for the Tenno and the Warframes.

[purplefaced_]

smiles from juran playing over this is such an absolutely beautiful moment, “…to take away its pain.” goosebumps EVERY time

[manunova]

The Orokin didn't really hate warframes, but the Tenno operating them.
Ballas treats his creations like art, because that is what they are to him.
The Tenno they call devils, however, because they manipulate what they venered.

This scene was sad but nothing jerks my tears harder than Sevagoths quest. Every time that song ends and your frame wakes up and realizes Shadow saved them I get hella chills. D.E. put their heart and soul into this game, they may have a few issues here and there with programming, but overall they're the best example of what a good dev studio can do for their player base. The best part is you can get all of this for free, say what you want about the pay-to-progress aspects, that money helps them continue development, and the only thing you really need is the new war pack and you can play the entire game. Otherwise you can be a hardcore grind player like most people and just grind mods and resources with a squad.
