[Quest concept] Eclipse (possible spoilers)

[Ypirj]

Final part of Nalla and Blixt conceptual warframes - Quest (while the concept is not finished, i invite you to share your ideas of improving the story and mechanics of both qwest and frames)

Eclipse

Stage 1

On your journeys, you, the Operator, decide to take your Excalibur Umbra frame for a ride, at some point, on the Orbiter Umbra goes berserk again and throws you out of him. You appear in your chair trying to get up, seeing Umbra approaching you slowly, offering his hand. At this point you have a choice of hearts, (in order to give you 1 last chance before the quest to lean towards light or dark side)

Giving up to Umbra by taking his hand (light), Overpower him by grabbing his head/forhead (dark), Cooperate by touching heart, mirrored by Umbra (Neutral).

This results in visions of war battle, taking place in [certain location], where his son have left his sword, which holds dear value to him, so you with Ordis discover the location and travel to retrieve the sword.

Result - 2 handed Sacrificial blades.

Stage 2

When you approach the location and retrieve the sword, you spot a figure, creeping and lurking, as you chase and approach the curious figure, you get jump scared by its skully face and get another vision.Vision of the same horror which Umbra was going thru. But this time it's different, "You" get rescued, ripped out of the process of transformation midway. In process of investigation you get another visual, of "your" rescuer(s), (among which was) "your" daughter, being spotted and killed on your way out. So "you" got angry. Raged. "You" don't remember much after. But "you" remember the place. "You" remember the voice. Of Helmint.

So you travel there, finding that the place is in ruins and Helmint apparatus is long to be lifeless. You need another clue.

Stage 3

You and Ordis try to investigate, in your dialogs, you get left with a cliffhanger, your investigations result in you, the operator having this kind of dialog with Ordis:

Operator - I must confront someone who knows what happened there.

Ordis - but only people who was there are this mysterious friend of yours, her daughter and Ballas, all of them are... well...{DeAd] inaccessible.

Operator - well, Ballas is alive, but we dont know where he is.... but... i sence... there was someone else. someone we know. someone we've forgotten about.

This gives you a hint, that in order to continue the quest, you must confront Helmint on your dropship. With your Operator. Helmint must be active, meaning you have/had to activate it with Nidus. Approaching Helmint with Operator activates dialog, he tells you of this mysterious woman warrior you are chasing, where you either threaten him (dark), convince him she needs help (light) or [unknown result in case of neutral operator confrontation], to which Helmint points you in direction of either Nalla (dark) or Blixt (light) warframe, depending on your "demon" status.

Stage 4

You locate and confront The Warframe, do your usual, living thru her memories, revieling to her what was hidden in her memories, after her daughter died. Bringing peace to her and becoming friends.

The End 🌺

Mechanics of Warframes:

Spoiler

During this quest you can only get 1 of 2 warframes. Nalla or Blixt, But you can and will interact with both of them. Either one of frames is very self sufficient and it will appear on your dropship, relays, and even sometimes it may visit you on battlefields. But you will only interact with either one of them at the time, as they are counterparts of one another, and interchanging them is quite tricky and interactive. In order to change frame for it's counterpart you must "wield" your frame and go on a mission, if there is going to be an operator wielding the counterpart, you will be able to switch warframes (and it may happen without the two of you agreeing to it or even knowing of it) by the two of you leaving your warframe with the operator, when the game registers that the two of you are curently out, it switches your warframes (only the warframe and its visuals, such as colours, attachments, sydana are copied, your progression and mods on each of two warframes stays the way you leave them) resulting in both of you turning not in to frames you left. If you got the frame with visuals not accessible to you, you still get to wear them as default, but you cant wear them again once you take them off.

Hm. Just found that DE are planing on adding dual wield nikanas. Do you think this would be fine way to present them?
