I also use zaws for exodias. depending on what type of build you're going for there is probably a slightly better melee option out there somewhere.

But those options don't pull people to you on a slam attack and they don't let you fire off two melee weapon sized grenades, three if you're Chroma.

Toss in a frame power or two, or have a nice condition overload combo going, and the difference becomes fairly irrelevant for the vast majority of content.

My problem with the Orphix stuff is really that if my mech dies I'm screwed. Really hard to recover from it if you're solo or carrying the team.

I'd love to see some arcanes in the earlier rotations. 9 Orphix to get a small chance at a decent arcane makes me pretty meh about running them.

It doesn't really help too much but there are basic rigs lying around you can temporarily use until the cool down on your mech resets.

Every melee weapon without a gimmick is extremely boring and plays exactly the same as 10 other melee weapons at minimum.
Gunblades, glaives, and zaws with exodia mods all have something to at least differentiate them from other melees.

There's lots of good interesting primaries/secondaries though. Kitguns tend to be in the top ~30% but they're not really overpowering or dominating.

Now listen to me children and I'll tell you of the legend of the Ninja
I'm done with Uranus, and man that place was rear end (heh). This was the first instance of me having an actual bad time with the game. Very slowly driving the Archwing, which is already a fun decrementing feature of the game, through a maze of underwater tunnels that aren't Archwing sized, while trying to follow non-functional waypoints... no good at all. And they managed to include the water temple from Ocarina of Time in one of the spy missions too, good job.

At least the teleporter maze puzzle missions in Lua were infuriating and engaging in the 'gently caress you game you're not stopping me with this BS' way, but Uranus was 'please just stop I don't want to play this garbage'.

Thankfully Pluto seems to be more of the fun run and gun gameplay I'm here for.

The vast majority of the player base, typically even those who enjoy aw before railjack existed, totally and entirely agree with you.

I think the underwater environments look kinda neat and i bet the art team could make even more super cool looking underwater bits but that is maybe literally the full extent of the praise I can give to the underwater Uranus sections. I guess the sound is also pretty well done.

That is actually something I did think while meandering around pushing E to get rid of the most uninteresting enemies to appear in a video game since slimes were introduced by Dragon Quest 1, and while trying to figure out where the hell the next waypoint is supposed to be. I thought, this looks really nice and I never ever want to see it again.

there's nothing wrong with you that an expensive operation can't prolong

So I just ran "A Man of Few Words" for the first time. Darvo makes for an incredible Lotus substitute; I would pay for the option to have him narrate everything. The voice actor just knocked it out of the park -- I laughed my rear end off at "Hey look, these guys are dropping life support modules all over the place! That's convenient!"

I got an autographed card from his voice actor during Tennocon last year and it was worth it. The dude voices Nef Anyo and Tyl Regor, the best Corpus and Grineer characters in the game.

Parvo Granum's okay and all, but does he have a tattooed-on Snidely Whiplash moustache, a cybernetic top-hat, and a void key costume? I rest my case.

"'Ey, Tenno, you ready for some half-priced life support? Ha, just kidding."

Darvo is the second best Corpus, though only because Alad V is possibly an Orokin in disguise according to Hunhow and the Stalker's Acolytes.

That might just be because Hunhow's been out of the loop so long, but I like to think it's because Alad V has managed to reverse-engineer the lost Orokin art of postponing consequences by always having a new extremely ill-advised science experiment to throw at the last one when it comes back to haunt you.

So you're saying Alad V is essentially this, but with assorted war crimes mixed in

Someone suggested letting the player choose their liaison. That would be more voice work but it would be cool too. I'm sure they could write missions in a way to accommodate it. The lotus being gone for so long...I've lost the connection.

"we mapped the Cabal command net by dancing" is a Destiny 2 lore item that would fit well here.

Letting the player choose is probably optimal. I'd like to find out more about Nora's backstory and agenda before taking orders from her. At least with Vox Solaris I know what's going on inside their heads inside their chests.

This has been a complaint of mine for literal years now, and even led me to drift away from the game some. Apostasy Prologue was launched back in September of 2017. We're coming up on FOUR YEARS of her being gone. Lotus has been "missing" for almost half the game's lifetime. Let us either pick some different handlers and start to move on, or actually kick off the goddamn New War plotline and let us resolve this thing.

I mean, I know the past year probably made plans an utter mess, but this has really bugged me for a long time. I was worried they'd just let it hang for this long, and welp, they did.
