I've read through the entire development workshop and done my best to break it down to my BF, and thus far I really frigging like it! As a newbie, this game is astounding and I've been playing it non-stop since I got it on my switch, and I can't wait for cross-save so I can join my BF's clan and get all those other nifty things I'm missing out on.
Particularly, I wanna say thank you to whoever collectively decided to make it so Loid would sell the damaged parts. The biggest drain on my sanity thus far has been trying to get that engine and ONLY getting EVERTHING else or nothing at all. The nothing at all actually hurts my teeny soul the most, to be perfectly honest.
My only thing to point out is the complete DIFFICULTY that it is to do Fortuna bounties. I try to do them on my own and tend to get all the way up to the "protect the drone/protect the coildrive" part before I get annihilated, and I'm working so hard to be able to get up to maxing with the Solaris. I'm stuck at Cove because getting any of the debt bonds is literally painful to attempt to accomplish, and I can't rely on other players because I can never find anyone willing to do group bounties/they run off to hunt while I get pounded into the snowbanks; of course, while Eudico scoffs in disbelief and says the Business might have classes in.. what was it.. wetwork 101?? I can't remember.
Maybe I'm just a bigoli baby, but I'm running a pretty good damaging Excal Um and I can't get a foothold on my own - hunting included, because I get shot and the Mother Spiderbot decides that it's prime time to punt me across the 'Vallis.
Point is? The Cambion drift is easy for me to mess around in and get higher syndicate ranking in than Fortuna, which I think is a little bonkers considering that its suppsoed to be more difficult. I still haven't gotten a good amp because I wanna work myself up in Cetus, with The Quills, while working up in Fortuna so I can speak with Little Duck.. but to my knowledge I can't even FATHOM talking to her without being neutral with Vox Solaris.
Just... some consideration in that point would be nice. The quest tweaks are beautiful, but actually being able to do anything without either losing or having to revive at least twice trying to get out of a unwanted battle in Fortuna would be nice.. and the Grineer in Cetus aren't exactly do-able as a baby Tenno in the Plains either, though to me they are manageable... that's more of a gripe my BF has as a veteran player, though I do agree that they aren't new-player friendly unless you have a, as I call it, Big Sibling Tenno to cart you along at first.
But keep it up! I love the game and can't wait to see how it goes in the future! I'm FOAMING at the mouth for Abyss of Dagath. The spooky holidays are my favorite and I'm a sucker for Headless Horsemen characters.. I won't stop till I have her in my arsenal.

Off topic, but something I wanted to spit out before I forget;
One thing on my mind as a new player is when I finished the quest to obtain my Operator, the lack of hairstyles was... shocking.
I intend to save up to get the cute little bun and braids hairstyle, but I don't understand how the customization can be so lacking, even when there are so many outfits that can be worn (not a TON, granted, but I think there's plenty as of current).
The inability to customize my operator with different hairstyles and cuts was a huge sticker with my boyfriend, too, who is a veteran player and really wanted to make his character his own, and it really fell short. The customizablity is super lacking in that department.
Oh, and my Mother's mask (which I was so pumped for when I found out it existed) I got from Cetus reverses my characters face the the first chosen preset, instead of the blend, in addition to it's... strange... color dilutions. I dunno how to describe that. There is no way I can make that thing look good unless I wanna compromise other outfit color choices.
Bottom line, as a new player I was so stoked when realized What I Really Am, only to be kinda bummed when all the options were kinda limited. I was like, okay, maybe later I can look on the market and wish?
Welp. That dream was crushed.
I still love the story, though. So I ignore it and do my best to cope... I just hope more customization options in terms of hair and physical appearance other than accessories and clothes can come rolling in as the future crawls closer.
