âThe indomitable Human Spiritâ is one of my favorite phrases and is a phrase that often comes to my mind when I play warframe. (Fallout too, but this ainât bout that game)
Both story wise and general gameplay wise.
You see the Drifter and Operator, after everything theyâve gone through, theyâre still standing. Unwavering after everything hit, push, and blow. They keep pushing, even as the indifference belittles and mocks them.
Then thereâs the frames and weapons. Sure, some frames are weapons are easier/better to use for the harder stuff(ETA, EDA) but not everyone wants whatâs easy.
So you take a frames thatâs seen better days, dust off some of the older weapons and you make them viable. Doesnât matter if itâs shield gating, or rivens, youâre facing an obstacle and taking it by the horns.
And if it doesnât work out now? Try again in the future when thereâs more to the game. More mods will come out, frames will get reworked, more subsumes, new arcanes, possible different ways to up our current frames(Like Archon Shards), new gear, and possible buffs to Operator and or Drifter.
Thereâs also the endurance/endless/level cap runs ppl, like myself, do. Where there is no point to it other then to say you did it.
Mayhaps Iâm hyping up the endurance/level cap runs, itâs not my intention truthfully, I just think thatâs it fits into the idea of the indomitable human spirt, the desire to persevere and overcome the odds and challenges presented to us.
Maybe you just wanted to run some relics for ducats at Baro. Maybe you just needed this prime part or some plat, whatever the case is, whatever the time you spent, the resources used, you took that challenge head on and gave it your best shot.
Perhaps Iâm over thinking this, warframe is a game that can be whatever you want it to be. Maybe Iâm just going above and beyond by correlating a game thatâs ever changing to a quote that I read awhile ago.
But man, when I play Gara and can tank the toxic fumes and onslaught of a ETA Survival with my 2 and adaptation AND can clear the map easily, when I stand before a crowd of enemyâs as Mesa using her regulators just itching a to go crazy, when I hit a 117mil headshot on a slowed enemy via Sevagothâs gloom and a Daikyu Prime headshot, when Iâm at 2hp on a Chroma energy tank build and just canât seem to die, etc etc etc.
How else could I have gotten here?
What drove me to this point?
I just think thatâs fascinating.
