i have to say, despite me having problems with wf 1999 roleplay-wise (but understanding of the limits of the concept), it really gets the creative juices flowing. he wouldn't fucking say that - well, what would he say? what would we need to have done to him for him to say that? like, i'm not stocked on having to do this as Drifter at the very least, which is kind of a me problem bc i forwent actually developing him due to overinvesting into Operator and not wanting a new toy. so i don't know who he is (party bc i did not really understand the story of Duviri, so ngl it's really nice of them to re-explain it through the chats), and i can't say i enjoy having to use someone else's scaffolding to build him up. but despite that the building is happening, the dots are connecting, and i feel like i need to thank this tension between the pre-written opinions and my imagination for that. and being in that shower, that really is a magical place

#tbh another problem is that some things he would say but with a different motivation meaning #like for example when quincy asks you if waframes are people #if you say no he gets pissed off and accuses you of lying #but like. why would that necessarily be a lie? why can #*can't drifter believe that when the warframes* are 3d-printed by the foundry/a giant tapeworm and do Nothing on their own and ig show no #signs of will even from the inside of their skulls? the only thing drifter's managed to mention re: this was animation sets #*excluding umbra stalker and original jade #also even if you disagree why wouldn't it be a stance of someone who depersonalizes them to avoid being crushed by the moral quandry of #piloting them? why does it necessarily have to be intentionally malicious?#(here is where you can say that that is just quincy's opinion and he wouldn't care about drifter's explanation either way #but i am rather concerned by what that says about the writers' thought process #and sad that drifter is not allowed to defend his point of view in some situations #which makes the chats less of a discussion and more of a game of guessing which option won't make the hex immediately go online #i guess i'm asking too much.)#Warframe
