The Limbo Theorem Addition: The complete theorem.

[Joezone619]

TLDR: Give us a sevogoth scene at the end of the limbo theorem so players know how limbo/the rift works.

The limbo theorem is one of warframe's oldest and untouched quests. Limbo himself is never explained, nor is the rift, and this causes a huge astigmatism toward limbo for being too confusing. Most players who pick up him, just as quickly put him back down due to such confusion. So what we need is something to clear up what the rift is for new players.

What i propose is not a full rework, but an additional section to the quest after you build and claim the last part. Around where ordis says "Excellent, the final theorem and its unfragmented, processing!". After ordis says this, the screen will fade to black, and the player will be placed in a mission, with black and white coloring, as well as film grain for added effect.

 

 

 

The player will simply be taken through a series of tasks, with voicelines from limbo's perspective instructing the player on what to do as limbo. (text boxes may also be used but this will be less effective on its own. Ideally both voicelines and text boxes should be used.)
-First, the player will simply be rolling in and out of the rift.
-The player will be told to roll into the rift to bypass lasers blocking limbo's path, being told the rift plane is a separate space from the normal plane. (important: the player will be told to roll and exit the rift once past the lasers)
-Next the player will be tasked with capturing a target, and will be told to banish them into the rift plane.
-After banishing the target, the player will be told to activate stasis so the target cannot run away while in the rift. (for the sake of the quest, stasis will not have a timer, and will remain active)
-After stasis is active, and the target is frozen, an enemy squad will show up. The player will then be told to use cataclysm on the group to freeze all of them as well. (stasis still being active should be mentioned)
-Lastly, after activating cataclysm, and killing all the reinforcements, cataclysm will begin to shake violently as it explodes and everything fades to white. We are then taken back to the ship, and the quest is finished.

 

 

 

This addition to the quest should at least show new players that the rift plane is different from the normal plane. It should give new players a rudimentary idea on how to use limbo, and how the rift works. It will also provide context as to what happened to limbo, aside from the confusingly short lines ordis gives us.

This isn't meant to be a tutorial on how to use limbo, this is meant to be an introduction to the rift.

Ah yes, tutorials and hand-holding. The disease of modern gaming.
