Natah, Lotus, Margulis choices in Warframe New War (Spoilers)

Should you pick Natah, Lotus, or Margulis in Warframe’s New War? (Spoilers)

#Warframe #NewWar

[zoushaomenohu]

A person on the Subreddit had a great insight, at least in my opinion, on the decision: it feels a bit like an echo of the decision you make at the climax of the Sacrifice (Wrath, Acceptance or Emptiness). Natah takes the memory of what's been done to her and uses it to fuel her, refusing to let her trauma change who she is. Lotus accepts that she has indeed changed from her experiences, and they can be moved on from, while Margulis lets go of whatever meanings others assigned to Margulis' image and memory, making it her own and finding peace in that clean slate. All of them are valid ways to recover from the kind of trauma bothe she and Umbra suffered at Ballas' hands.

everyone is talking about natah, lotus, and margulis. but no one is talking about holographic space mom.
holo-space mom: "Tenno. a new mi- *bzzzzt* -ssion is a-a-available."

I chose Margulis since it's feels like the best bitchslap you could give to Ballas, becoming her but not for him, but for herself
-also she's hot-

[DrunkDjinn]

Natah was a weapon of war who was used her entire life. Margulis is a false persona created by Ballas in his twisted depravity. She chose to become the Lotus and care for the Tenno as her children after ballas tried to control her. She always wanted to have children and never could as natah, as she is a sentient.
Lotus gives her the freedom of being her own person while leaving behind her life as natah that in a way was a curse.
I never saw her as being happy when she was natah, nor when she was forced to become margulis because of ballas. The only time she seemed happy was when she was the lotus and had her children, the Tenno.

I chose Lotus because I think she chose to be the lotus. Everyone keeps cramming lies into her so she is who they want her to be. I went with who she chose to be.

[sonicemitter]

In the Second Dream, Lotus said "Dream not of what you are, but of what you want to be." She chose to be the Lotus, so the Lotus she ought to be.

[tatianebalbinot]

Natah: tried to kill us
Lotus: betrayed us once
Margulis: Still loving us

[AdeptKing]

The way I look at is is that Margulis is dead and I think she should be allowed to rest. Natah well I draw the line at trying to get the Tenno killed. Lotus is the one that was there for the Tenno since they woke up and even before that so I think I have to go with that.

Though I will say one thing that I think most of us can agree on. It's nice that Space Mom is back after all this time.

[mikeye]

I chose Natah since that is who she truly is. the other two are mixed with a lie or the full lie. Also alignment is weird since this chose is based on you want her to embrace who she is fully or a part of the lie she was forced to live since the tenno's attachment or the Lotus born from a lie but from Natah free will. But I say this she called us her friend I don't feel right having her as anything else. But I'm willing to spend plat to change the model since it's ugly as duck.

[SunshineViaPocket]

I chose Natah out of respect for Erra and Hunhow. They helped you, least you can do is help them get their family back.

(Plus Natah looks best imho)

[abelbabel]

Margulis chose death over compliance with evil. Her courage gave us all we have; every life we save, every soul we free, every evil we defeat we owe to her choice.

Margulis' voice it must be, immortal symbol of what we all aspire to - to be the force that saves, protects, nurtures and uplifts.

Reading the replies and comments has me absolutely TORN. I've spent the entire day today doing the quest and I was hoping for a more concrete insight into who to choose but this isn't helping at alp

[antimemeticsdivision]

I chose Natah on the technicality of it being her birth name (plus in my opinion, the coolest sounding name and coolest looking skin, besides the eidolon skin, but I have to buy that one, so I don't have it yet)

[WafelixRox]

Margulis - already dead
Lotus - A mimick, a spy, brainwashed sentient that was sended to destroy Orokin and tenno but she don't wanted to do it..(sorry english is not my primary language and I forget few things :) )
Natah - her true self
Well the choice is obvious..

[gravitykat]

I spent no like 30 minutes trying to decide. But at the end she chose to be lotus. Therefore I want her to be lotus

[kachiedits]

Lotus just feels like the obvious choice (also I've been going for a neutral operator so yea)

Lotus just feels like the lesser of 2 evils in all honesty since the Lotus is who was the person she wanted to be in the beginning and it's what brought balance in a way

[primalfire]

(Ik I’m late and all but still) This is where the one mistake will forever haunt me. For context I wanted to pick lotus but I picked margulis due to design (note I didn’t knew you can change said design with silver at the time) but when I found out you could buy it with silver regret went up quickly. Then newwar became replayable. “Is this the chance where I erase my mistake?” I told myself. So I replayed it hoping I could. But oh how cruel DE can be it did not work at all. And now here I am. Still waiting for the day where I can change it.

[Persn]

Thanks for that video, I have to admit I hate the idea of having to make a permanent choice that may have drastic repercussion totally blind.

[zoomut]

finally found the time to play this quest after 8 months i started the game 😅

i choose Natah just for the name, heard that it's the only thing that permanently binded with your account. not sure about the voice thou. 😮

[LASCH_B]

For me, my interpretation is that either Natah or Lotus are good options story-wise, Natah because this is who she is at birth, she is the victim of Ballas machinations and in some way her identity got killed. But I choose Lotus, it makes the more sense to me, and feels like what she wanted to be as a sentient and after escaping from Ballas, in some way it is a merge between the best of natah and margulis. Now there are reason to pick Margulis but for me they are completely nullified because this is what Ballas wanted her to be, in some way is like saying that we are ok for what natah had to go through.
