And the quest does introduce both Parvos and the Granum Void very nicely. I guess short and sweet is better than long and tedious though. But I feel like we could have had a lot… more.

Compared to Mirage’s quest, which forces you to wait for each Warframe part to build, it’s amazing. I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. The quest is short, about an hour long if you’re wandering around, probably a lot less if you’re a speed runner. You do an interception, then you do some running around back and forth to Fortuna, then you make a glaive, via a spy mission, then you fight the baddie. I am glad however that we didn’t see any of Little Duck though, because it gave the Business more of a chance to shine. Parvos feels like a soft, Lucifer-like character, and Eudico is her normal leader-but-blaming-herself self. Even when he gets what he deserves, he is still a good character.

But he has this amusing conman personality and some great lines. He is a bit of a cartoon villain, the same way Vay Hek is. Really, Nef Anyo is what makes the Deadlock Protocol fun. The Corpus finally actually feel like a cult, rather than just some vague sci-fi guys. That and the fact that murdering tons of Corpus is always enjoyable, especially in a tileset that has been refreshed. The conversations that take place are actually interesting, and it annoys me that they’re easy to miss. You’ve got a cartoon villain versus someone who wants to help and protect others but is also rough and dirty. Mostly because of the dialogue and interactions between characters. It’s even worse when you realise Nef Anyo is said person, and he’s willing to sacrifice Fortuna workers to do it.ĭespite the terror, everything still feels somewhat fun. The idea that an asshole wants to take over a board of directors via time travel and proving he is an heir to the Corpus founder is scary. Also, spoilers ahead! Go play the quest! It only takes about an hour! The Deadlock Protocol with Protea Okay, sure, there’s a lot of seriousness here too. The Deadlock Protocol is Sands of Inaros, but for the modern era. But The Deadlock Protocol feels like a return to the old Warframe quest days, with the polish of modern, shiny Warframe. Excalibur Umbra in the Sacrifice is more of a continuation of the War Within and involves a lot of the Operator. The last ones we got were for Revenant and Excalibur Umbra, but they weren’t exactly… amazing, fun Warframe quests. We haven’t had a decent Warframe quest in ages.
