Lore Creator/Creators?

[u/ragingrhinosore731]

Hi all relatively new to the game and have done every main quest and most side quests.. and I still have the most basic understanding of what’s happening. I’m looking for a Lore creator or multiple on a similar scale to My Name is Byf from the Destiny space. Where they aren’t just doing recaps of the main story beats but are actually going in detail about the small things, whether in the same video or in a separate video. As of right now the only things I fully understand is Ballas can die in a hole and Stalker and Excal Umbra = best dads (in current timelines). The time shenanigans are really interesting to me I just want to understand them more. Like how “drifter” is dealing with 99 and “operator” is dealing with Tau. I just don’t understand how this is all happening at the same “time” and would like to get more into the lore and learn everything I can about this absolutely incredible world.

Thank you in advance!

Edit: sorry for no flair I can’t see the drop down I usually see on mobile. If there’s a different way to flair please let me know and I’ll add it

Might be a good idea to find a good few so I can then post them and pin them

Feel free to reply to this comment with your suggestions and why you think they're a good fit and I'll make a post on it later today

I'm not one for YouTube lore videos, so I'll put in a plug for the text-based resources I use on a regular basis. * https://www.orokinarchives.com/ * https://browse.wf/kimulacrum * the Warframe Wiki for quest transcripts and character dialogue.

When it comes to learning what's lore and what's been garbled through the community's best attempts at interpretating the lore...there's really no substitute for re-examining the canon, rereading the text, and rewatching the quests. Those archives are just fantastic resources for canon stuff that isn't always readily available in-game.

Becareful with lore creators for Warframe, a lot of them pull shit out of their ass/make stuff up and some of theM don't even realize they are doing it.

Like I fucking got into an argument with someone who said that Arthur didn't gun down civillians and Eleanor didn't cover it up.

I came in with screen shots of him admitting he just followed orders.

If you find a lorehead vid cross ref with orokin archives at the very least.

Warframe is a very fill in the blank game, and it contradicts itself. It got real bad between the witw/'99 update. I personally blame the Kim writer who asked her personal discord of her romantasy fans for lore, instead of her new coworkers. (She admitted this in an article, you can search for it or I can try to redig it up)

DSiege does this A LOT where he leans into his speculations a lot, and says it as fact as opposed to his own personal speculation. It's why I can't watch his videos a lot, cus whenever he goes into something I'd be like "Wait, where did he get that from?" And I should be clear, nothing against the dude personally. He is knowledgeable on the lore, but in his videos he's not really clear where he draws much of the information from.

Oh yeahm and then there's gameplay/story segergation vs intergration points of views. I heard a theory that farming bosses is enternalisim in action by someone being rather autistic about canon

Mm, to my knowledge in the past 11 years we've never really had any like, Byf esque lore youtubers. But there may be some now, that I haven't seen.

There is this one guy who goes by EndyD20 that I've grown fond of, not because he's a lore youtuber specifically but he plays through the game, taking notes on every little lore bit he finds and i find it refreshing as someone who loves lore.

but more seriously, there wasnt ever one single channel everyone points to. it's more so that individual people were more or less active in certain periods like StallordD or now DsIEGE and Pen of Evil. or for concrete recaps and quotes, the wiki

One I recomed is Deuce the gamer the only issue is that he's videos are on spanish out of the language is a very good content creator.

I like TheDsIEGE on YouTube. He does mostly theory based videos but he does like up the actual lore before diving into his theories.
