[Mission Concept] Warframe Stories (Story Modes For Each Warframe)

[ShiningArmor]

I believe they are bringing in a sort of "story mode," but what about also having an individual story for each character like in DOA or Soulcalibur? Each story would allow more in depth look into the background of each Tenno and their Warframe, and can even have some unlockable reward at the end such as a skin or some other kind of cosmetic.

 

How would we access the story mode?

One way to implement access of the story mode is from the incoming update of the player ships.

 

A second way would be to implement it on each Warframe's Arsenal section.

 

A third, but more inventory filling way, would be to give a key bp when we get the Warframe like when we get the clan key when joining/creating a clan.

 

Difficulties?

Sure, why not. A difficulty system could be implemented like that of each Void Tier. T1-T4 Story Mode (Easy, Normal, Hard, Tenno).

 

How would we acquire said "individual" story modes?

To acquire each story mode for each Tenno, you would have to acquire their Warframe. This would mean more people might strive to get each and every Warframe, giving more mastery, and allowing for more things to do instead of senselessly killing everything for fun when there's nothing else to do.

 

Easter Eggs?

Yes. Easter Eggs in the story modes would definitely be fun and interesting.

 

One such Easter Egg would be hiding fan art that the Devs like in each mission. Hiding [DE]Megan's profile pic of Ember would be one example, and [DE]Glen's profile pic in Excalibur's mission would be another.

 

Prime Stories as well?

While it is probably harder to implement, yes this could be an option. Each Prime Story would come with the Primed Warframes, and would take place in the Orokin Void.

 

Rewards for each difficulty?

For completing each difficulty, it would be nice to have different rewards of differing quality. Having something like just a weapon decoration for a T1 difficulty story reward, all the way to a full blown skin/color scheme for T4 difficulty story reward could be done, but would take time, and may not be completed in about 2-3 updates (just a guess).

I like it, though it would probably more about the Tenno in general rather than a specific frame.

Well each Tenno has a specific frame. We don't control one Tenno, but many, as shown by the changing between male and female Warframes and how they have their own back stories. Thus, to have a back story for the Tenno would be a back story for their frame.

Look: 

Each Warframe, when unlock, will unlock a part of the story mode where that Warframe is the main character. After you have unlocked all the Warframes, you have unlocked the full storymode! 

 

This will also encourage people to play different frames and master/try to master all!

This is probably 1 of the best ideas i've read on this forum. I would love to know where Ash or Rhino came from or all of them. Cause when you start the game...you start out with your first frame trying to escape from the grinneer, and after that there is like no actual story. I would love it if DE took that beginning and expanded on it. Like how Excalibur meets the other Tenno. Cause now...they're just kinda...there...no story told...nothing actually explained on how they came to be, unless you go and read the Codex and there you can't even see the backstory of all the Tenno. With Ash i still see what kind of frame he is...nothing about where he came from and how he came to be.

 

Somewhere on the forum here i saw a brilliant little comic on how Nyx came to be. Sadly i don't remember who made it so i can't post a link to it. But basically you see Nyx as a humanoid and then some1 activates the technocite virus within her and her warframe gets activated, it looked painful as hell but it was a real brilliant and actual logic explanation to how she came to be.

Well if we get this thread some attention, DE might actually do it. Warframe wouldn't be the first multiplayer game to achieve it, and it certainly won't be the last.

 

On a further note, we really do need more story. Saryn barely even has codex data. She may be fan-based content, but she still needs more than a single sentence of story that describes what she does.

That seems to be the case with a lot of frames. Off the top of my head, i can only think of Excalibur, Ember(surprisingly) and Mag to have an actual backstory written in the codex. The others are kind of bland. Makes a guy wonder why 1 of the actual starter frames "Loki" doesn't have any back story written about him. Saryn...well i'm assuming that the back story for her should come from the person who very first made her concept. And i think that DE has this idea(excuse) for that.

 

It is something really weird, during the Devstreams a lot of the times you see people wanting Lore and more story content for the game so that the game itself has more to go by than just shooting everything in sight without actually knowing why.

[S.T.M.P.D]

Well, I was thinking of faction-oriented campaigns, like for Proxy Wars.

 

BUT THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER.
