Orokin Derelict Haunted... (Also A Way For De To Add Lore)

[Arlayn]

So once upon a time I made a topic about Warframe level being like Fallout 3's Vault 106

 

https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/101846-warframe-level-fallout-3-vault-106/

 

but what if a similar event were to occur in the Orokin derelict?

 

First off this idea was inspired by the derelict, but also by many past events that occur in games such as Final Fantasy VII's Shinra Mansion... Plus its creepy music... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnjhz-7rElQ it should also be noted that when these events spoken of down below do occur the music should change its pace to something creepy(like Shinra mansion's "The Nightmare's Beginning" theme), or reminiscent-ish as if taking a walk down a creepy, run down form of memory lane...

 

Anyway I say this now more then ever due to the fact the Derelict... would be spooky enough for a Tenno to go to and suddenly start seeing ghost... Like what if there is a chemical in the Orokin derelicts that mix and create this gas that causes you to see events from your past before you were put in stasis. You see like your training, old friends, people dying, monsters coming at you that seem to be there but are not, past bosses that show up and try to kill you, maybe even stalker makes an appearance (he already shows up in derelict but it would make it that much more freaky) but this stalker isn't the real stalker, and as you shoot at him you do no damage, but when he hits you it does damage...

 

Then again was it ever the real stalker?

 

Possible hints at events to come kinda like a Star wars Dagobah cave deal... You go there and maybe Vor is killing someone you know of in the game, or maybe the Grineer kill you... Maybe something horrifying is created by the Corpus, or one of the factions unleash a horror far more dangerous then Golem, but you only see a silhouette of this abominable horror, and the screams of those fleeing in the blight of this hopelessness. Possibly other random inception stuff could happen as well... Possible you fight yourself... Also no REAL enemies should show up in this mission...

 

Meaning you go to this derelict mission originally with the objective to do one thing, but instead of doing said task you deviate suddenly from the mission the moment you get there as ghost start to pop up, and you have the option to follow said ghost trail or continue with mission.

 

Once on the trail this is where stuff gets all crazy and out of hand, and you can still break containers along the way to get stuff. Eventually it becomes freaky like one second your in the derelict and the next there is a hole in the wall that leads outside... a twisted version of someplace the player had gone to in the past, or possibly someplace before stasis, or even some place you will go in the future. Which would be an interesting way to insert lore of the past, or insert lore hinting to the future... or to just possibly hint to the lore of those around you...

 

Depending on who the host is, and what warframe they are using can vary the tale told by one of these bizarre events. If said player has had enough run ins with Stalker they may also unlock a past look at what connection the player may have with Stalker but hinted... oh so gently hinted but not enough to enlighten you. Just leave you with more questions.

 

This is more so to creep you out, or hint at things to come, things that happened, or to the tales of those around you... but never truly enlighten you. Just leave you puzzled and with more questions, but the more times you take these ghost trails the more events will unfold and slowly but surely you can piece some of these events together to understand the past of the Tenno, the Future maybe, and what is going on around you...

 

It is also possible that maybe in the void when the AI takes over the minds of grineer, or corpus that it also records their memories. This could lead to haunted voids as well. What if the AI has a problem of some kind like a leak of memory from assimilating too many enemies and creates a void that has holograms said enemies lives to give you glimpse into their lives, or possibly the AI leaks events from the past in the forms of holograms hinting to what may have happened during the war, what happened to the last of the Orokin, or some other tale...

Too far out.

Fun idea, but the grindy nature of the game would end up killing the buzz.

That music is annoying, not creepy.

That music is annoying, not creepy. 

o.O to be honest I consider Nobuo Uematsu to be one of the best musical composers for games ever... Also Final Fantasy VII can do no wrong as it was, and still is one the most re-playable games in the world... The music is creepy if you knew the whole story, played more Japanese scary games, and was into the whole spiritual horror, hallucinations on a dead space level type deal... Past ghost, and hallucinations are great ways to explore lore... and make it interesting without spilling all the beans at once.
