Is The Second Dream Game Changing for a New Warframe Player? 

Warframe is a special game. Once the story of the game starts to pick up it can not only recontextualize the experience you have had up to that point but also set goals for the future when you inevitably want to keep pushing the main story. Considering the game up to that point can be rather aimless it really is THE moment for a lot of new players where the game starts to come together. Watching new players play this quest for the first time is always a wonderful experience. Future quests are also great mind you, in fact it only gets better from here, but nothing can compare to the reveal of what the tenno REALLY are, and the appearence of a character creator suddenly making it feel like you just stepped past the tutorial for the first time. Many MMO players will say things like "Oh YoU GoTtA pLaY 100 HoUrS tO JuDgE uS" but warframe players actually have something they can point to and be like "This is what you need to reach, this point will help it all make sense, this is the point where you will know if this game is for you or not". The youtube channel LegendaryDrops has also done a great job capturing that journey in a thoughtful way and I really have enjoyed watching both of you as a more experienced player, but I appreciate the thoughts and experiences of any new player willing to sit down and talk about it, and a lot of the communitt seems to feel the same way. Thats probably part of why the game is so welcoming and its a shame tou would never know from the outside what this game truly has to offer.

Congrats on finishing the tutorial! Welcome to the game!

YAY! I got Naramon, too when I got there. That track is called "This is What You Are" and there's a professional opera singer here on RU-vid who can't stop raving about it.

The moment your Warframe awakens to save me feels so good every time.

I love music, a story told well and art. A friend of mine said I had to play Warframe, but not to dive too deep into the lore outside of the game just yet. We talked about things, he’d hear my theories and just smile. I now understand why. I went on to complete the Second Dream, The War Within, The Sacrifice…. Chains of Harrow…. Stories told so damn well, with an amazing musical score. I’ve been playing for 95 days now and have just completed The New War. It really is the best game so few know about.and I’m so glad I’m having the opportunity to experience it. Thank you for sharing yours.

It just warms my heart to hear new Tenno discovering the wonder of The Second Dream (and other main story quests) Thank you for sharing your experience in a very entertaining manner. Side Note : It's funny to see those /unstucks on the chat later on

After watching some of your previous Warframe videos I honestly thought you were going to utterly despise this game altogether, but I'm glad you powered through the rough beginning player experience to make it to this quest. It's the first big checkpoint that really turns most people's opinions around on this game, out of the many more that come after. It only keeps getting better from here on onwards. Looking forward to your thoughts about the other main story quests in the future!

I started playing warframe back in 2015. I just started playing again about 2 months ago. I finally finished New War and I was crying. Warframe story is amazing I highly encourage you to continue with it. It was more of emotional ride because of the breaks I had taken and the cliffhanger we were left on waiting for the next story. I can't say anymore don't want to spoil it. I'm enjoying watching your play through.

Congratulations on your awakening, Tenno. This is the first step down a long and winding path, and I eagerly anticipate your reactions to some of the turns it takes along the way.

Congrats on finishing the Second Dream. Welcome to the game :)

Hunhow is a great antagonist ^

I think quests like War Within, The Sacrifice, Chains of Harrow, Call of Tempestarii and The New War pump up story alot set piece wise. Tbh i was more impressed with the War Within than the second dream but fuck me, the music the shot of our warframe that’s slaughtered millions fall limply to the ground. And we’re a tiny frail child makes the world feel grounded. If anything I feel like how Warframe players start the game feel the same way our Tenno do, confused and dissociated from the world and themselves that they forget the true form they really are. Plus it took me a long time to warm up to the Lotus since alot of characters talk about her being untrustworthy or just using us, but seeing her appear in the flesh and carry us to our new home is great. It still took a while for me to really enjoy her presence but still, wish I didn’t drop this game last year. (Wouldve had a Harrow and Garuda Prime right now if I did lol)

congrats on finnishing the tutorial!

Watching this video and seeing your experience of it, was awesome. I've been framing for over 5 years, the second dream, gets me choked up every time. The artistry, the emotion, the depth of the musical score...just sensational. Always a pleasure to see someone else's experience of the Second Dream. The Sacrifice is just as impactful too. Welcome to the Tenno 😁

Looking forward to you getting to The Sacrifice.

Jali, I love this game and loved watching your reaction to the Second Dream. I also watched your video where you were talking about being carried to get Nekros. I hope it's not out of place, but my least favorite mission type is defection. Otherwise only other complaint is open world bounties getting too repetitive. I also want to say, I agree with you that Meta can bite it. I want to have fun in a game not feel like I am working towards a Bachelors of Science in Game Mechanics. Some enjoy it, let them, but let me enjoy my time with my family. Meta not required. I hope you continue to have fun with it and maybe we'll come across each other sometime.

it seems you finally met grandpa

Welcome to the extended tutorial 😂 Btw Yareli mating press 🤣

Truly amazing mission across all of gaming imo. #TeamLotus

It's a fucking spy mission 🤣

Yeah, so were not just space ninja robots, but perpetual teenagers in space ninja robots, complete with teen angst and zit problems! Now to wait for you to get through The Sacrifice and learn how Warframes are made!

"This is so sad". don't do any more story missions. Everything will be fine from here on. you will grow up, marry and live in a disney castle with bunnies and butterflies. Don't touch anymore main storyline missions. 🥺
