Like in the title I’m a new player and just looking for some advice. Back in 2018 when discord offered game I played then but really on started the fortuna quest and ofc the earth dungeons to get there. I just did the fortuna quest where thursby becomes legs and then a few dungeon quests. I also let the impulsive thoughts win and bought the gauss warframe and have been having fun with it :). I also got 3 relics from defending a cryopod, look like mossy orbs but I opened them when a mission had this swooshy icon over it (idk how to describe it) and I collected 10 rift thingys each to open them. I have no idea what I did but I got blueprints so I’m assuming I did something right

But any friendly tips? Is there any particular area (like free roam vs dungeons) I should be focusing on. Is there more than one story quest line per planet In free roam like the one with the iron rose in the box on earth or the aforementioned fortuna quest

I’m just kinda going from place to place progressing though dungeons but I lost and just feel like I’m kinda stumbling forward in the dark with no goal other than just go here and give em the ol swish swish stab stab bow l chicka bow wow

Edit: forgot to mention back when I briefly played in 2018 through discord I played Sayrin to Sayron, the disease or fungus idk one simply because poison damage seemed nice among other obvious reasons, but is she any good to play compared to gauss prime

    The Orokin were a powerful and opulent empire thousands of years ago. You’re actually from the Orokin era, and so are your warframes, but you’ve lost your memory from all that time in cryosleep and you don’t know much about them anymore. You know more than an average joe, but that’s not saying much because the average joe knows next to nothing except that they left behind a bunch of ruins. Ordis is in the same boat as you, he’s an Orokin era cephalon, but most of his memory is corrupted. If you keep going on the main quest, you might just learn some of the secrets of the Orokin, and what the hell happened that caused their empire to fall. It had something to do with a great war, you know that much, but you don’t know who the war was against. Nobody does, except maybe the Lotus.

      So basically a mysterious war happened that no one knows nothing about that wiped out an empire that everyone also knows nothing about

      As for the void is that just your sci-fi placeholder “kill everything” energy

      I’m just not alway the most attentive in lore so I’m just making sure I didn’t miss anything

        Yep. It was a long time ago, and the galaxy has since gone through thousands of years of oppression at the hands of the Corpus and the Grineer, both of whom are not interested in preserving history that contradicts their propaganda.

        The void is a place. And it’s a place that does not conform to the laws of consensus reality. That’s destructive, yes, but it’s more complex than that. The most obvious effect of void contamination is it causes madness. That’s why you face a bunch of “corrupted” corpus and grineer in void fissure missions. They’ve been driven mad by the void and are operating according to goals and motivations unknown to any sane person. It’s actually super weird that the Tenno aren’t corrupted by void fissures and by travelling to the void. You can be exposed to void energy no problem and you’re basically fine. Maybe you’ll learn why that is in a future quest.
