Trexlord36 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 OK so I've been playing this game for about 2 years now with no real worries about it. However, the new update with Harrow kinda worries me. I mean, he is from a religious factions who worships a transference fracture of a Tenno because he "protects them" and what not. I don't know if I'm just worrying about nothing, but I am curious to see what other Christian players think about this. Also I tried looking at other topics about this and found none, so please leave feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I really don't see why a videogame should have any impact on your religious views regardless of what faith you are. Harrow is if anything more like a cult-themed Warframe, and cults are in every religion. granted, I'm an Atheist, but I don't get offended when Atheist characters in games act weirdly or do wrong, so I don't get what it is you're looking for here..

I think you'll be okay buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel threatened by a fictitious religion on a game then i feel that i should mention that innaros was worshiped as a god, and so was the silver grove. this isnt the first frame with relgion in it.

DogManDan Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 This is a freaking game not a religious movement! I know how to separate reality from fantasy maybe you should learn that too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashyrae Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 As a Christian, I'm going to agree with what others have said: if Harrow concerns you, but ripping legions of Corpus, Grineer, and Infested into pieces doesn't, there's something amiss. If a fictional pseudoreligion disturbs you, I would remind you that it's not real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christians don't even use Catholic sacraments or thuribles or anything of that sort. Harrow is simply a typical exorcist stereotype and is portrayed as nothing less than a good priest sacrificing himself to protect others. If that offends you either 1) You think there is something wrong with exorcists and are secretly in league with lucifer.* 2) You hate Catholics.** *Joke **Also a joke, hopefully obvious.

Kjahla81 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 No because it's a video game. Also various others religious ideals could be counted here. Not just Christianity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rell, child unlike the others, cast out by both post-incident caretaker and fellow Void infected children because of his "difference", not worshipped, in fact only given any sort of treatment by two people total, being his own mother, and a spiritual medium. If you don't mind, I'd like to know exactly how you connected Harrow to Christianity. Not trying to be hostile.

Seriously, I this game is very violent and brutal at times, you would think that if you where Christian or even just religious enough, you wouldn't play this game?

Kjahla81 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I think most of the misconception comes from the placeholder name as priestframe and it stuck in our minds. Nothing in that quest felt religious at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought not separating them was the point of religion. :^) On a more serious note though, it's fiction and even before Harrow it already had plenty of religious themes. Aside from Harrow looking like a catholic space robot there's nothing overly religious in this update, it has more in common with horror movies than religion.

KilluaWalker Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 #INTENT while I haven't finished the quest (sooooo exited to though) I can say I have 0 doubt DE would have put Christian references in maliciously knowing DE Steve and other employees. If it bothers you that sucks but they are interesting topics to delve into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
