will we be able to bring companions into 1999. like drifter showing up with just a warframe is gonna be weird to the hex already. also bringing along, like, a flying robot, robotic chicken thing, giant vampire cat, an actual infested hellcreature who acts just like a dog... they already had questions, but now they just have more.

Drifter: So that's how the Radiation Wars started.
The Hex: "Wars", eh? Is that like World War I and World War II?
Drifter: Oh, no, we had like eighteen of them.
Huh
Interesting
I was watching Kengineer's 3rd solo playthrough episode last night when this quote from the Lotus popped up during the Once Awake quest, and it got me thinking about 1999.
1999 is when the Infestation pretty much shows up for the first time (at least as far as we know), which places the Radiation Wars after 1999 (of course).
...but how long after?
Now idk how old this Lotus quote is and whether it's in the devs' minds at all, but imagine that the Radiation Wars are directly after 1999, sparked by this recent apocolyptic infestation spreading all of a sudden.
Imagine the 1999 quest ends with nuclear armageddon, perhaps even on New Year's. We make that final New Year's kiss (or not), knowing that the people here are doomed to die (though they were probably doomed to die to the helminth strain inside them at some point anyways).
I imagine in this scenario that for the sake of replayable 1999 gameplay (and maybe even the opportunity to change romance routes) that this time fragment of 1999 we find ourselves in repeats indefinitely, always ending in the beginning of the Radiation Wars.
would be pretty funny i think

Exactly. This.
Drifter: "Dying? Eh, I get better."
Drifter: "Kill count competition? Buddy, you have never competed with a Saryn, Volt, and Mirage in ESO and it shows. Here's a hint: Thermal Sunder Harrow makes them weep.
Drifter: "What's a rat?"
Drifter: "What, is it some sort of odd looking kuaka?"
Drifter: "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
looking forward to the Hex expecting the Drifter to add some normalcy to the group, or think they're gonna freak them out, only for the Drifter to bring in more chaos than all of them combined
listen they come from a nonsense fantasy world where there's skeleton animals, flying horses, everyone's made of some kind of ceramic, there's no real day and night, the king's court are turning into dragons all the time, and crazy weather like fire raining from the sky every other cycle. plus running around this nonsense fantasy world with just a pistol, a couple of sticks and no warframe. and winning. but they play checkers against a rabbit and lose
and outside Duviri, full-warframes are walkin around chilling like regular dudes, and also those warframes are piloted by a bunch of gremlin children who happen to be their alternate timeline selves. people live on venus and they have robot heads, there's a giant tower made of flesh that people chop up and eat and by the way it talks to them. Also there's talking animals in Albrecht's basement
i think the 'regular' stuff in 1999 would confuse them more than anything else
#warframe 1999#drifter is deeply weird#drifter is not even working with the same frame of reference as the Hex#the Hex are from Earth#drifter is from duviri

Female Drifter: "Arthur, why are you standing on a box?"
...
(No, it will never not be funny to me that in-game Drifter is as tall as Excalibur, but the moment they have to pose for a kiss suddenly Arthur's putting lifts on his shoes or something.)

Drifter brings a certain vibe to the inter-Hex drama...
Arthur: *stabs his skana into the floor* "Drifter, if you hurt my sister, I'll--"
Drifter: "You'll what? Impale me with that?"
Arthur: "Er..."
Drifter: "Go ahead. I'll be taking notes on your technique and awarding points for good execution. Hah. That was a pun."

The Warframe 1999 Demo reminded me of how it felt to be a new player again, leveling up my fresh out of the foundry weapons by running the Mars exterminate missions over and over again. That could've been my Baby Excalibur with the Karak and the Lato and Skana, killing enemies one at a time.
When Drifter shows up in 1999...
My LR4 Drifter is gonna be like "Arthur, hold my beer" and put on a clinic.
Scaldra: Did anyone get the name of that truck that hit me?
Drifter: Weapons Platform Saryn with a Tenet Cycron. You're welcome.

Female Drifter: Arthur, are you wearing lifts right now?
Arthur: Shut up, I'm trying to give you a New Year's kiss.
Female Drifter: I'm just saying I'm as tall as most warframes. You don't have to be insecure about it.
Arthur: Please, can I just kiss you?

My Operator, Arthur, on the Zariman.
Does anyone have a favorite clip/screenshot of their drifter or operator. Out of curiosity?
