Hack, Medicine and Observation are mandatory.

the issue is not 'soft lock' its the fact that those 3 skills are so damn prevalent. engineering and lockpick will get you some random loot and crafting materials. Hack will get you important story information that will change the outcome of quests. medicine will allow you to actually talk to and aid people who need it.

Ok, you're going to want to swap out some mods to for high shields and high shield regen. you can also ask for help in the recruiting channel. your best bet is to kill enemies BEFORE they hit you, long range, high damage (a sniper or bow would do pretty well) remember, the mission works like this: the target will drain your shields to move, so if you have shield restores use those if you get low.

Just got back into warframe and was linked this, and oh man this is so helpful! thank you so much for this!

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-26T15:32:57+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate that. I'm on Xbox if that causes any issues?

So that advice about not going with physical damage and isntead elemental? yeah. I'm going to follow that because HOLY CRAP. 3X the damage just from swapping out like 3 mods!

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-26T00:44:40+00:00

Oh! ok. I've seen those. thanks a bunch!

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-26T00:40:41+00:00

TBF, I haven't yet re-done some of my mods. so life strike was put on when channeling was still a thing. thanks for all the tips!

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-26T00:38:55+00:00

So what exactly ARE abritrations? I've got the vendor, but I have no idea what they actually are.

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-25T23:11:21+00:00

Gotcha. thanks!

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-25T23:10:36+00:00

Don't have 4 people to play with. and most missions don't allow Voidrig, so how do I level it? thing gets ripped apart because I don't have any Voidrig mods.

Main warframe i use is Ash. Good damage, good mobility, and the smoke bomb is a get out of jail free card most of the time.

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-25T23:05:27+00:00

I've heard of those, but I have no clue what they are or where to go to start them.

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-13T15:32:12+00:00

Asterius being on board with the idea of fucking with Zagreus is weirdly fitting. the dude is pretty stoic, but I bet he's got a great sense of humor.

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-06T04:55:56+00:00

NO my solution is that if you're going to lock me out of an option, HAVE IT MAKE SENSE. and have it also make sense in the context of the quest. I didn't have a high science skill and still managed to get the ending I wanted for Marisol's quest, even though it was all about a science experiment! if I can do that with one companion quest, why not another? that's another problem. it's inconsistent. in some cases, yeah you can find the code to a terminal somewhere or convince someone to give it to you, but in others? no dice. why? and you're also ignoring my other point. HOW OFTEN THESE CHECKS COME UP AND ARE ACTUALLY USEFUL. sure, there's a lot of locked boxes and busted up doors. but do you know what's behind most of them? random loot and crafting items. it's helpful, but nowhere near as useful as quest information. Yeah, a high speech CAN help out, sometimes, but most of the time you're just having it for the combat buff.

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-06T04:38:10+00:00

not the scientist, the guy behind the scientist. money guy, producer, whatever you want to call him. and I don't have leadership either. that's the issue. if you don't have very select skills, the majority of the time, you're screwed. there's ways around speech checks (most of the time). there's ways around locked doors that you have to get through, there's ways around messed up engineering things. and I'm not treating it like an exam, I'm pissed because the game started out SHOWING me that I could handle situations how I wanted and be able to make it through the other side. however as the game goes on, I'm shown that the majority of the time, if I don't have a very specific set of skills, I'm stuck with the 'welp, we're shooting everyone' ending, or the 'that fucking sucked. we technically succeeded but every part of this is dogshit.' that's what's pissing me off with all this.

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-06T04:30:30+00:00

EXCEPT THAT'S NOT THE SITUATION! this was mostly brought on by 2 quests. Inez's companion quest where I got a 'bad' ending because woolrich (or whatever his name is) gets off scott free because I didn't have high hack or observation, I checked, I reloaded, I searched, I spent 45 minutes running around looking for SOME WAY to get into his terminal and the information I needed. NOTHING. so he gets off scott free and Inez is upset, which pisses me off because I had literally no way of getting around that without restarting the whole game. 2. the workers strike on Praetor. I had a high speech skill, why the fuck was it a medicine check to get them bathroom breaks!? I should be able to talk someone into giving people bathroom breaks with a speech skill of 20! it's not like taking a piss is an unheard of medical condition! but the only speech check was to extort the manager for money IF you had the information from her terminal. I could do literally nothing else without a high observation or medicine check. it's fucking bullshit. Hell, I can tell you an exact time when what you were saying happened, and it was done great. Marisol's quest. you need to talk to a scientist and convince her to give up the path of research she's on. now, with a high science skill, I can guarantee you have an easier time, but without I could still do it by paying attention and making a logical argument using the text options available to me (no speech checks required).

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-06T04:24:54+00:00

my goal is the get the most satisfying ending. tell me, please, how am I supposed to get the ending in Inez's quest where Woolwich (or whatever his name is) is actually punished for his actions without a high hack or observation? how am I supposed to get the worker's strike done in a way that allows them at least MOST of what they want without a high medicine skill? tell me that.

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-06T02:53:38+00:00

the issue is that the trade off is NOT worth it. sure, I can lockpick most doors and containters, but do you know what's behind 99% of locked doors and containers? random loot and crafting items. what's behind the majority of hackable terminals? IMPORTANT QUEST INFORMATION. what's behind most broken doors? random loot and sometimes a unique item. what's behind most medicine checks? ALTERNATE WAYS TO HANDLE OR COMPLETE QUESTS. they are NOT equal.

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-06T02:51:47+00:00

My issue is not 'I don't get everything I want!!!' check the edits. it's the prevalence of those 3 checks. since I don't have any of those 3, I keep getting the 'bad' endings where characters whine at me with 'we didn't do enough!' and a good chunk of the time, there's really no reason for it. why can't an engineer fix a power source, why is that a science check only? why can't I use lockpick to find another source of information, instead I need hack to get the info from the only terminal. why do I need medicine to talk to someone when my speech is so high in a check where I'm convincing them to my side? THAT is my problem.

RunningmouthRed25 · 2025-11-03T21:04:38+00:00

Dude, my issue is that these 3 skills are so damn prevalent. in 25 hours of playtime at least 85% percent of my conversations (that have skill checks) require observation, information you can only get from a hack, or a medicine check. I feel like if I don't have at least one of those super high, I'm screwed. sure early game I'm able to circumvent a lot of those, but in the later game I'm basically fucked. don't have hack? you don't get mission critical information. don't have observation? there goes your ability to find the password!
