Comunicating operators. (spoilers)

[QuetzalCuttle]

No seriously there are spoilers, finish the second dream and then come back.

You know how your operater pops up in the corner after you complete the second dream and talks to....

...Themself?

Whenever my operator apears and says "Be careful!" I think if i'm playing as him then who is he talking to?
Anyone else think it would be cool if your operator talked to your squads operators?
Example: You get killed and your bleading out instead of the lotus telling your team, your operator pops up on their screen and asks for help. Then when they are reviving you they pop up on your screen and sey somthing like "Be more careful!" then your operator thanks them are they say "your welcome" and you carry on with comiting mass genocide.

I think that people will work together better if they see their charaters working together.
And if you haven't compleated The Second Dream then other operators will apear as static and you can only hear their voice and see their name.

I just thought of this when my operator started talking to himself and wondered if anyone else agreed?

[QuetzalCuttle]

Sorry about my grammar.

I'm pretty sure the Operator already has voice lines for being revived, at the v ery least.

In- game, it's talking to the frame, therefore itself, which doesn't really make sense at all, considering that there's supposed to be a "mind transference" between the Operator and the frame.

But it's probably just that the devs couldn't think of something else to make the "reveal" more significant than just "some guy at the back of your ship".

What, You've never talked to yourself? Even thru your inner monologue?

... Pretty much this xD

If it's not explicitly stated anywhere, I think it's implied that Warframes, to an extent, are independent beings that use the power given to them by the Operator- the Operator becomes mentally taxed as the Warframe becomes physically taxed, but the Operator's consciousness is not actually in the Warframe.

Aye, the second dream hints strongly at this, when the warframe breaks war.

Whenever someone tries to understand what Operator and Warframe are.

I refer to them, watch the series of Neo Gensis Evangelion.

The relationship is much like Shinji and EVA-01.

I never thought of it that way, but looking at it now that is a perfect description of what seems to be going on. It's like the last piece fell into place and now it all makes sense. That seems especially likely given that the game feels like it has a lot of Anime influence. Now we just have to figure out how old our character is, because that's been bothering me too. I don't think we're just 16 or something, we're far too mentally mature for that... or are we?

Operator talks to the warframe. That can be understood from a quote: "Back on your feet, warframe!" when you are revived. Also, in a lot of other quotes, operator says "we"... As in not "we" - team of players, but "we" - operator and warframe. Because "we" are Tenno. The operator and warfame are almost nothing when separated from each other, we see that in the quest. A mere child(even tho with void superpowers) with weak body(because of cryostasis) and a puppet that is almost(!) nothing without the operator. But together, merged via transefrence, they are The Tenno.

But yeah, would be nice to see operators of other players talk to each other. Like, when you mark a mod, your operator says "Mod found!", "Marking mod." or "Mod over here!"... But says that only to you, to the player. Not other players in the mission. Which is stupid. Because we already picked it up, right? So no point in operator saying that to their own warframe. So this quote, OBVIOUSLY, is towards other Tenno on the misison(other operators+warframes).

my exact thoughts when i was playing the second dream... on a side note Eva' is like 20 years old now ...

[Dione]

the reason why operator talks to you is because you are a living thing in warframe, in this armor, and he says it to you because he thinks this living thing does know what is he talking and understands him

Warframes are created using infested flesh, so presumably it gives the frame a consciousness of it's own. It is a living, thinking entity, but without a Tenno to operate it, it has no direction or purpose, kind of like if you pull a Borg away from it's collective, it'll try to continue it's daily routine but will forever be lost and confused. I think this is kind of demonstrated in the Chroma questline, where the Chroma frame you meet seems to just be on a mindless killing rampage, probably because there is no Tenno telling it what to do. The same is probably the case during the Mirage and Mesa quests.

Actually the closest example one could find for the relationship between Tenno, warframes and the Lotus is the Tyranids in Warhammer 40k, where the hive mind gives the orders, the Tyranid Warriors provide the synapse link and the Hormagaunts follow the orders given from the synapse link. Without the Lotus, Tenno would not know the best things to do to stop the Grineer and Corpus from destroying the galaxy, then without a Tenno to provide the synapse, the warframes lose their purpose and become mindless killing machines, attacking anything within range, including it's own allies.
Thinking on it, Warframe has a lot of similarities to Warhammer 40k Tyranids, such as the way the Orokin created the frames out of infested flesh similar to how Tyranids create their armies by turning living organisms into whatever is required, and how some weapons are created through the infestation and become living organisms of their own that are controlled by the warframes, which Tyranids also do. Perhaps someone in DE is a big Warhammer fan!

Also, from what I remember Tenno are older than 16, it's just that the pseudo-stasis pods they've lived in for centuries prevent their bodies from ageing, even though their minds are still active. As for their maturity, that's because of the Orokin, who after acquiring them, put them through a strict training regime to be able to make the warframes do what they do with all the ninjariness.
