I think the Old Peace is showing the weakness of Warframe's current storytelling. Quests are too short, ntroducing characters and eliminating them far too quickly to make it's emotional moments hit as hard as they could. This has been a semi-recurring problem for years now, the New War had something very similar. Too quick, it didn't even feel like a war being fought.(1)
The Hex is one of the only ones in recent times to really pace itself, and that's due to the Kim system and forcing you to bond with them before completing the quest completely. Frankly, I think future quests need to do something similar; a reputation "lock" would be a handy way to build emotional investment and make end moments hit harder.
