Steam mods when you aren't a friend and even so much as do capitalized text in a post: "You have a 7 day temp ban for harassment"

Frank not being affected by the psychic attack that everyone else is cause anyone trying to get in that head faces his badass mind-Karen who kindly kicks them the fuck out xD

Did not have babysitter Umbra + the fanon of Umbra sitting on the Orbiter doing rando shit being made canon on my expectation list xD But it does acknowledge him post-Sacrifice still maintaining his independence when not being in use by the Tenno.

Love the highlighting of Hunhow as the tired and weary parent who feels like he failed his children. Also that without it being stated I think Stalker may have become one himself, which taps into the adopted side of the feels equation.

Love Stalker's "NOT THEM! NOT AGAIN!", cause it fits his character and shows his pride.

Love the background lore drops for Ryoku and Vena's doomed timeline worlds (a plague-ridden hell and a techno hell not respective)

Love the theme of bringing family together, especially from Hunhow trying to make up for his own failure.

Love Hunhow evolving from "Sentient Destroyer of Worlds" to "Sentient Architect of Worlds".

“Sons of Shadow. Hear me. I am Hunhow. The great and terrible. Sentient Destroyer of Worlds. This day I spurn my legacy. I repudiate destruction. I failed my people. I failed my children... Erra, Natah. I failed the Shadow, your father. I shall not fail in this. I, who once severed worlds, now offer what I never had: peace. To you Void Jester who watches our grief. I give my past, my self in bargain to sever the eternal battle you began."

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK... someone is cutting onions FFS

ANYWAY

I do think that Vena and Ryoku should've had more story to them, which is where I think the KIM would've done wonders and really fucking highlights the benefits of it. I'm just saying DE you could do a 3rd section for them to flesh them out.

I wish Stalker and Hunhow were more in-line with Lotus and Hunhow during Natah (quest). Like offering worldbuilding and reflections on the past type of thing

I wish Jade was restored to existence in her original form w/ her original name to be with her children; but I'll put this one as fitting with Wally's deals w/ the monkey's paw effect.

Basically all of these ^ go into a bigger thing, I really hope DE stops being so avoidant of New War longer + deeper stories. I know why they avoid it, cause I've seen my fair share of "I almost quit the game cause of New War" bullshit; but it still stands as one of the best quests in the game cause it does deliver the depth to characters and themes.
