Apologies for the music being too loud! We will take this into account for the future!

I love the fact that the Orokin are responsible for EVERY problem in warframe. Including giving the void sentience.

[RenegadeNico]

The Orokin is like the embodiment of: “Oh no, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions”

[alanabyss]

The Orokin are the reason that most of the warframes lore happened. Albrect (I hope I spelled that right) literally made a Eldrich God.

[DaniCamo]

It's funny how they're not allowed to create AI because they're afraid of the reprocussions, but Ballas' arrogant ass signs off on making the Sentients and then sends them away by themselves to populate an entire system. 🤦‍♀️ Nothing could possibly go wrong 😂

[GJVADER]

I’m a new Tenno but I love the story of this game even the conflict of characters like space flower grandma who on one hand protects the ventkids but at the same time at some point stole someone’s body

[procrastinathor]

Me: trying to listen
Music: so anyway I started blasting

[moondog]

"Phenotypically distinct" ---SOMEONE know what words mean! I dig it.

[JoacinoDaGona]

The Innodem Dagger description hint at a time in which the Orokin were much more benevolent.
Maybe they started out as a group that was able to bring back humanity back from the brink after the latest attempt at self-destruction.
Given the ban on AI, I wager some sort of AI uprising was responsible for that particular apocalypse.
Or maybe one the first generations of Infestation tech got out of control and Earth almost ended up like Deimos, before the Orokin ancestors mastered the Infestation.
Of not is also that the Orokin society that was eventually built, was based on Plato's Ideal Republic. Sadly, the Orokin became a far cry from the philosopher kings Plato imagined.

Ngl, finally a decent channel that ACTUALLY explains stuff and doesn't roam around the same topic and in-game notes for 5-20 videos, great job

[YouTubeaccount]

I need a tshirt that says, "STUDY, ANALYZE, AND WAIT"

[wilhelmpaulm]

the Orikin could have solved all their problems but their hubris wanted more at the same time. Imagine how smart they were to still have tech that can't be deciphered.

[GlitchX]

Expanding upon the whole shift from dualism to vain faith, before the Void was discovered the Orokin prioritized symmetry in beauty standards. Even Ballas was described as being symmetrical in older lore entries. The blue skin and enlongated arm was a conscious cosmetic decision because it reflected actual cases of Void poisoning, and of course they wanted to tie themselves to the Void mysticism and divinity.

[WanderingPhenomenist]

It's simple. The Curator drops a video and I watch it. I also leave a thumbs up.

[connerchambers]

Dang, how have I never seen you until now. That video was phenomenal! Thank you so much for all the detail said in such a concise and clear manner.

[xXx_Regulus_xXx]

your script and pronunciation are a cut above many youtubers. great work!

[testdep]

I've watched probably hundreds hours of Warframe content (and I appreciate all the work content creators do) but THIS vid finally has the answers to all my questions! 💯And it also very well-made! Amazing work!

PS. Background music can be slightly lower. I'm listening on 5.1 speaker system, still hear the voice loud and clear but the music is a bit too loud.

[deeras]

Little addition: Nihil the Glassmaker is also an Executor, a member of the Seven. Nora Night describes him as such.

16:09 orokin: we did it we won the war the sentients are retreating and hunhow is sealed


Lotus(natah) to the Tenno: [*the time has come execute order 66*]

[ravendelacour]

The nature of the Void is so akin to Warhammer 40k's Warp that the Orokin could be a precursor race in that setting. Bonus points for being blue skinned and near a planet called Tau.
