i am disappointed by DE eagerly canonizing stuff like "why did people go crazy on Zariman?" and "what exactly happened on Duviri?" through wf 1999 but as soon as we start talking timeline, they bail. "Oh the Orokin destroyed all evidence of the old Earth, we don't know how long ago it was." "The Tenno were asleep for umpteen-billion years* but since they were asleep it doesn't really matter for how long."

*an approximate quote by one of the Hex (pretty sure it was Eleanor who you could argue is not very knowledgable but she's seen what Drifter knows didn't she?). correct me if i remembered it wrong i guess

#i personally don't believe that it's been so long between the fall of the Orokin and present day #(despite them throwing “forgotten'' and ''lost'' around all the time)#like western civilization was so different 200 400 years ago #and the orokin age and present day isn't even separated by such huge inventions as car/plane and computers #it was more like people sifting through the rubble for what already existed #so i don't think the ''billions'' are actually necessary. and for my own story i actually have to shrink that to around a century:\#but even though i'm stretching (shrinking) i think it could be possible #Warframe #ngl i feel really punched in the throat by the zariman explanation #the entire time i lived thinking - as we've been told - that void just does that to adults #but apparently wally just decided to do some experiments on ants?#maybe i'm just dumb and was supposed to connect the dots but i didn't. now i have to rethink my approach to wally
