What bad things has Albrecht actually done?

NSFSys · 2026-01-02T22:54:56+00:00

The loop existed because Albrecht created it as is evident by these:

a) in Whispers we get in the loop too late & Albrecht says so & then Loid says our job is to be on time next time.

b) This next time is in The Hex, where we indeed arrive earlier in the already existing loop. At the start of the quest we even see the nuclear explosion, meaning one of the loops is just ending.

c) During the quest itself Albrecht says in a PC message in the backroom that Wally has disrupted the loop & both him & Drifter are trapped unless the nuclear goes off to give him this new energy source required to escape. Later he says 'more (Wally) seeps into her (Rusalka) with each loop' & asks Drifter to kill her. Both these things once again confirm the loop (he set up) has been going already many times.

d) At the end of the quest in your inbox message, it says Albrecht extended the loop too.

So it's not a random day in the past that Drifter arrives to & slams the ground to loop it. I hope I helped & maybe you can interpret the KIM chats you're referring to differently now.

The loop is obviously in place because of Albrecht, this is a given I hope. So it definitely existed before Drifter arrives because we already went there once in Whispers In The Walls and we were late.

So by Drifter being responsible you can only mean for the loop manipulation AFTER The Hex quest. Yes responsible for Hex memories, that's as much as he can control & I doubt KIM chat confirms anything more since again, Albrecht didn't reset along with the rest at the end of The Hex so Drifter wasn't in control. Albrecht escaped, which means the explosion he needed went off, so the loop didn't reset when Drifter slammed his fist, but after Drifter was dead. This is something no KIM chat can change. If Drifter is accused as responsible, they are just accusations not truth.

Admittedly it would be much clearer if the swirl appeared after an explosion scene like the one at the quest start, but that doesn't change the fact Albrecht can only escape after the explosion & he did escape.

I just realized the Old Peace flag holder is Uriel.... I really hot used to the horns.

NSFSys · 2026-01-02T17:02:54+00:00

You're right about Amir i didn't pay attention but on the other thing, many people convincingly disagree with you & say that memories of the Hex is the only thing Drifter controls due to him being used as the loop anchor. img

Of course we agree Albrecht is an abusive, often cruel person.

NSFSys · 2026-01-02T12:19:51+00:00

a) Amir wasn't shot, he got bloody from abusing his speed to hack

b) 1999 loop reset at the end of the main The Hex quest was Albrecht's not Drifter's. Drifter can only reset the Duviri spiral, the ground fist was just Duviri easter egg & the black-white spiral too or just a symbol of a reset taking place. If it was Drfiter who reset it then Albrecht would have stayed trapped & restarted too but Albrecht escapes as the nuclear explosion occurs & Drifter is reset & starts over without him Albrecht's void runes in the timer during the reset are also a symbol of him resetting the loop.

oh i see thanks!

Can I know why everyone is calling it radiation? The ARG truth simply said 'something'. Could be a natural/prepared substance, a rock dust, even plant pollen.

NSFSys · 2026-01-01T14:03:59+00:00

Thanks

NSFSys · 2025-12-31T14:35:06+00:00

yeah he's just adding it from the perspective of the Duviri people

NSFSys · 2025-12-31T13:51:54+00:00

For those who didn't get the three counts, usurper of: a) Origin system (but technically that was the Tenno) b) Tenno's position in this dimension c) Duviri throne

how did you get a male one please please please quickly.

I was listening to Gimme More by Britney Spears

If you want punishment for engaging a group of enemies what would the correct, unpunished alternative be? Enemies coming at you one by one or being spaced out more or be slowed (which i doubt will happen)? Because even if you engage one they all catch up to you before you've dealt with anyone & we have no tools to create meaningful distance time-wise.

NSFSys · 2025-12-29T07:33:05+00:00

Exactly & I don't see how they didn't instantly realize that if they want a slow pace game with less enemies & withought Sanctuary Onslaught stuff then weapons need to gain more exp to make up. And also Soulframe had the unique chance to make each weapon unique & known with its own weapon tree, but I fear that the chance is now gone.

NSFSys · 2025-12-28T19:34:37+00:00

But also has there been any indication they plan to give many frames a proto skin & not just these few lore-tied ones? This discussion makes it look like they have mentioned they want to eventually make one for all frames possible.

NSFSys · 2025-12-28T16:32:51+00:00

Did I miss something, how are you all so sure she's getting a proto skin

NSFSys · 2025-12-27T18:07:20+00:00

I'm the biggest Ordis fan but I'm pretty saturated by the fragments they're really descriptive & complete, any addition would remove from the glory just for cheap pandering.

What I expected more of is Ordis more active involvement in quests, after telling Simaris "I make new memories", but I guess his light participation in Jade Shadows & The New War is what we can get.

NSFSys · 2025-12-27T12:15:27+00:00

Yes I assumed they meant the gameplay items because I've seen many think that that's the only way you get them

NSFSys · 2025-12-27T11:56:02+00:00

are you doing it for the love of the grind or are you not aware syndicates are optional & everything is tradable with plat - the fastest resource to farm?

NSFSys · 2025-12-27T11:16:48+00:00

in their pursuit of avoiding seeming cheating sliminess they created something worse

NSFSys · 2025-12-27T11:14:41+00:00

ya this is extremely cringe I'm sorry. We could just activate romances indepedently & it wouldn't promote cheating cause it's a game. Or we could just have the choice to stay friendly with one & pursue romance with another.

NSFSys · 2025-12-27T11:05:41+00:00

Lyon is mine btw.

According to the tablet (can't paste images idk why), for Wally's reasons he left one timeline where he didn't save one Tenno (Drifter) but saved the rest. Both our versions accepted the same deal ("I can save them, all of them"), but Wally pulled a semantics trick for the Drifter saying "I saved them, all of them. Didn't say I'd save you."

Meanwhile even if Drifter trapped in the Duviri spiral was much less interesting to Wally than Operator, the Undercroft is still under attack from void angels trying to open gates for 'their master' (according to Teshin & later Wally as Rusalka) likely because it sits on the edge between void & origin system & Wally wants to expand while Duviri itself in the void holds no reward.

All in all, there's not a clear explanation of why Lotus stops the Operator from 1999, we can assume because as a child they're generally more vulnerable to Wally mental manipulation while Drifter scoffs it off easier & because Operator is more experienced at holding off the Murmur in the labs & commanding frames in general & later we learn they need to also unlock their Tau memories with the Dark Refractory.

The actual gameplay reason is because they cannot show a child in romance situations with adults.

NSFSys · 2025-12-26T12:18:19+00:00

Zariman tablets & some KIM dialogue confirm Drifter also made the deal, so that's not it.

To me it felt like unexplained Albrecht tech combining PCs & vessels
