    @Arcantropolo 5 ปีที่แล้ว +685

    The concept of the Void is purely Lovecraftian in nature, but with an cruel twist. In Lovecraft stories, it normally depicts entities (one can argue their existence, as most are accounts by folks already gone insane) which are so alien to humanity... to attach concepts like good and evil is meaningless - morality being a product of our egos in this case. Normally said entities in the stories pay little heed to the actions of human beings (much like we pay little heed to ants crawling about).
    What is intriguing about the Man in The Wall is that - while in Lovecraftian fashion is utterly alien, it is an entity that has taken specific interest in the MC (Tenno). In otherwords... imagine being an ant (out of trillions in the world), being singled out, gaining the attention of a man. Hence... Lovecraftian with a cruel twist.
    Well Smough, enjoyed the video.

      Thanks my man! Was a tough subject for me to 'concisely talk about'. But yes there are loftcraftian elements in that it is utterly beyond our comprehension. The way it appears in game is not really how it is - in fact it is doing mimicry in an attempt to communicate with us.
      Which is just creepy.

    From my researches on the topic, the Void that the Orokin used as some kind of divine purpose would be more the "teal void" (the missions ingame) linked to the Unum, the world of dreams. But if you take a closer look at the lines about our father and the description of the Grineer Queens, it seems to point to another thing, "starless black", the called Void we know has lights in it so I think that's something different. Ballas also always, always refers to us as "devils", "demons from that hell", how could he speak like that about the Void at this moment in history. I really think that the place we were stuck in during the zariman incident, shown in rell webcomic, is a third place, the place that Teshin mentionned.

    • @caav56
      @caav56 5 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      So, different layers of Void? "Teal" Void is the closest one to reality and allows for some nifty, but short-ranged FTL (Solar Rails and Railjack). "Starless Black" is a deeper layer and allows for some long-ranged FTL (Zariman Ten-Zero jump from Sol to Tau - roughly 12 light years to cross).

      Expect Limbo uses RIFT which is stated to be plane/dimension between void and real world.

    The man in the wall could also be the sign that we are growing as human beings. The adults on the ship were driven mad because of the void. Now we don’t dream so we are now in the regular life cycle of growth. Because our minds on the zaraman 10-0 were not fully matured we didn’t go mad. We were just children but now it’s likely we are teens with the man in the wall being the aspect of which rell saw. I see the creep a lot frequently now with the voice much more scary than before. It scares me and it drives me nuts. Now I can’t enter the orbiter without going to a relay as my first destination.

    It's not just our survival Wally's gunning for.
    There's something else too.
    In the beginning of the sacrifice, when the "Lotus" called to us. to show us Umbra. I don't think that was the Lotus. That was the Man in the Wall. He lead us to that warframe. Not the Lotus.
    Why lead us to a warframe if you betrayed us? The fact that he tears sentients apart like they're tissue paper just makes it convenient. So when he said "Good" at the end, that was because we remember Umbra's memory the way we do. He wanted it to happen. Same with the chimera prologue.
    I knew he was gunning for something by leading us to Ballas. It's not the weapon itself. There's a catch. There's always a catch. The way Ballas talked about love having to die. I feel like Ballas wanted us to kill the Lotus. Which is very real possibility that we'll have to do. It's war. Sometimes you got to make terrible choices to complete the mission. No matter how painful it is for you personally.
    Killing your 2nd surrogate mother figure would be a good way to fuck someone up mentally. Like the Red Queen he's trying to become us. Corrupting our minds with despair until only he remains.
    Dude was sealed away in a vessel. When a being gets sealed away in a vessel is central in a horror quest. It's likely that he was sealed away for a pretty good reason.

All of this , all these quests will lead us to the final battle with this entity. This insanity, this madness, will overtake, will take us back, will take the gift he has given us before. He will come for you......kiddo.

    I had the same theory about the man in the wall too. After we destroyed rells vessel he somehow latched himself onto us how he is using us as his access to the physical world (same plan as he had with rell) Even though he's helping us he is doing it for his benefit later on. Maybe he wants us to succeed in the war to then take our powers to restore or transform deimos into duviri. Hence why in the trailer the tenno had no powers? And that our tenno is older...

    You know, I’m reminded of something from the SCP Foundation called Pattern Screamers. According to one article, the Pattern Screamers are non-existent beings that can only be perceived when a sentient being tried to comprehend utter nothingness, which is exactly what the Foundation has come across: a pure void located somewhere in Russia, a non-region lacking space, time, energy and matter.
    However, the mortal mind is not equipped to deal with such utter nothing, and so it tries to overlay it with images of something that mostly make sense. As these patterns accumulate, the Pattern Screamers begin to take form and begin truly existing.
    What if the Man In The Wall is something like that? Excerpt it is the Tenno who perceived the absolute nothing that is the Void on the Zariman, and thus left a kind of “pattern” for the Man to take form with.

    Revisited after New War. Closest to my theory I’ve seen.
    I think Operators at this point are Oull Void Dopplegangers tied to the soul of your REAL Tenno in the Void as Drifter. If Drifter in the Void dies, so does Operator. The rules in our Universe meant housing the Void in Form, Function, and Free Will/Consciousness.
    New war allows physical body swaps but it is always the void-powered Doppleganger in our reality and the Soul/very mortal/killable/REAL Tenno that allows it to exist…until the Void can fully take over.
    Then the real Tenno/soul dies.
    So now it’s a race. Rell and Margulis can’t protect you anymore.
    I say the Operator is Immortal because this is a correction after the encounter with Entrati and using mortality to stop him.
    I say the MITW wants Void energy spread in our reality. The more this happens the

    Heres some food for thought. [MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD] After the new war and the concepts mentioned in that quest, the man in the wall at first could have just been hallucinations of the void but after learning of Eternalism, those hallucinations could have been actualized. The man in the wall has always been portrayed as a being that only those who have been touched by the void can see or recognize. Since our operators survived the void jump in the zariman, they were touched by the void and gained their powers, therefore they can see the man in the wall. I think the man in the wall is the physical representation of the void itself. Like, as if the entirety of the void exists as one conscious being. Now back to him just being a hallucination, if you recall during the new war when it talks about the concept of eternalism. It states that all possibilities exist at once and your decisions dictate what possibility occurs in your reality. This means that the alternate possibility will exist somewhere in a different reality. During the new war, when you are on the zariman and the man in the wall appears to offer you a deal, you shake his hand and he provides you and the other tenno with his power. I believe at this point, or probably somewhere before, is when the man in the wall became a real being. Perhaps the handshake was just the final piece he needed. At first it was just hallucinations caused by the void which is why only the tenno could see him. But after taking that deal, A new reality where the man in the wall escaped the void and became his own entity entirely was put into motion. This is why in the new war, the lotus could see and interact with the man in the wall. As to what his goal is and what purpose he serves remains to be seen. knowing DE's track record for updates, we can expect to see something about it in around 15 years

    Maybe the way "the man in the wall" is acting is because the only sortof interaction with another sentient is with a young Rell. So the childlike taunting and all that is due to the template it based on Rell. Maybe from the start it didn't have much of any "personality" but was influenced and basically created by Rell's own desires after his centuries in the void. The void is a mysterious place, after all, and if it's original personality is one 'void' of emotion, it would explain why it now seemingly wants to interact with the tenno and ultimately maybe possess them and enter the 'real' world. That would have been Rell's ultimate wish, to one day return, his duty fulfilled. That one desire now twisted by the exposure to the void energies. Essentially human emotion casting a shadow into the void, lending the sentient energies new purpose.

    The "rap, tap, tap" is repeated by Sythel (who, by the way, thinks that the Indifference was born of Master Entranti's fear) in the Kingdom of Duviri, and the Man in the Wall is sung about there too by the children (because of course the singing children are giving horrifying rhymes about something they can't see watching them). The Joy Spiral has the children singing about his smile and how they smile back, the Sorrow Spiral has them singing about how he wishes he could cry and feel sorrow, but can't, and the Envy Spiral actively talk about him wanting to be them and how they have to keep him away. Additionally, you can find a "Vagabond" in Duviri which can only be a manifestation of the Man in the Wall. A child-like Duviri citizen with the right index finger missing, same one on the wall that appears at the end of New War and the one the Operator's "demon" bends when you put in the Reliquary Drive's key, will appear in different areas depending on the Spiral, showing that the Man in the Wall isn't just affecting the Origin System, but Drifter's Paradox as well.

    There's some weird thing I've noticed.
    Considering we see the railjack finger and the entity in us talking when we approach the finger, I believe they are the entity within us talking to us.
    Note the finger causes white crystal vines to grow and feed the railjack, this is seen in the liset, the void towers too, but also the derelicts with decaying crystal vines.
    Which makes me think the orokin found an entity in the void and ripped it apart to use as an energy source.
    However the finger boy quotes lead me to something else.
    The finger boy and the man in the wall are not the same entity.

    For almost every living thing boredom is the worst. There are hundreds of studies in which people have deliberately hurt themselves to avoid boredom.
    Maybe he uses the Tenno just to escape his boredom. Perhaps the answer to what the man's goal is quite simple: avoid boredom. Do you know the anime "That time i got reincarnated as a slime"? The dragon at the beginning also comes along with the slime, he even lets himself be wiped out of it just to escape the boredom and loneliness. I think the man in the wall just wants to see something different than the void and the tenno are the perfect medium for that. Maybe the worlds are so different that we misinterpret his actions.
    Maybe he uses our father's phrase so that we have less fear and he does not seem so strange to us. Maybe he just wants to cause chaos.

Parvos Granum discovered Specter Particels, which can take a "snapshot" of someone or something in time and then project it onto our world as a Physical object/being(such as protea, a sentient warframe without a tenno). The void contains a record of our history, even most likeley the future and perhaps possible alternate timelines and when people enter the void without protection, there minds will be overwhelmed by an incomprehensible timeflow of Past, Present and Future. For our minds only percive time linear. And the man in the wall is a) a being made form by our own memories with its own mind somehow or b) the void itself projecting in a form we can better percive

      He still comes, but it is 100% RNG, random, so you can see him 2 times in a row and then not see him for whole year.

    This is the price you pay for being too powerful you unlock the power of the void the power to go above and beyond the power to go to other worlds.

    The bends isnt necessarily caused by going "too deep". It's caused by ascending from that depth too fast and not allowing sufficient time for the compressed gas in your blood to gradually be released through your lungs. Has the effect much like opening a can of coke... Your blood starts to form bubbles.
    Yes it is more of an issue for deeper, or longer, dives... But the cause is inpropper decompression as you ascend too quickly. The longer and deeper the dive, the longer and slower you need to take the decompression/ascension.

    Hearing rap tap tap just snaps me back to a year or two ago when I did the quest. One of the most scariest experiences I've ever had in the game. I have no idea how I got through the harrow quest haha

      Man the way it goes rap, tap TAP right in your head like that sounds like he's getting closer and really messes with me, not to mention the Harrow quest being pure nightmare fuel at the start
