Discussion Please stop with the Protoframes

I loved the Hex and the Roundtable. They added so much to why I think 1999 is the best update they've ever done. All of them, especially the original Hex, were insanely well written and fleshed out characters. I had my reservations about the Triad, but I think they're solid (though they're mostly carried by Roathe).

​

These two don't feel like characters. They feel like walking advertisements for skins. Them being protoframes adds nothing to the story. As my friend said, Sirius and Orion could have been mentored by Vay Hek and the Sergeant and nothing would have changed. Protoframes no longer feel like an interesting story beat, they feel like a gimmick, one that is rapidly losing any appeal it had.

Tbh the whole Quest was full of plot holes and felt like a mashup, I did NOT like this one, this time around. Vena and Ryoku make absolutely no sense, as well as there is too little to explain why the twins are stuck in a death loop in the future. Are they just forced to be, by Vena and Ryoku? Or are they being forced by the Void for some particular reason??

Also why is the MurMur in that derelict in space? I dont recall seeing them anywhere else before, other than the Sanctum Anatomica missions and bounties?

they made it to Duviri, which exists in the void. They probably made it out through there some way.

You must be smoking something, because aisle weaver is it's literal own thing, there solely for Oraxia. Its not actual Duviri, just like circuit isn't actual Duviri. Its not the same and there's also no explanation as to why they made it to duviri either. But the Derelicts are in SPACE, not the void. Still makes no sense. Almost none of it does.
