Mother Gamer Plays The Second Dream and The War Within Warframe Quests

I just finished playing through the story quests The Second Dream and The War Within in Warframe. These were very interesting because they had some epic reveals in the story and lore of Warframe. The Second Dream is first and there are a few missions that lead up to the story. I enjoyed exploring and learning more about the world of the Tenno and hearing some intriguing information about The Lotus who many of us Warframe players call Space Mom.

Discovering secrets in The Second Dream. 

I feel that I enjoyed The Second Dream more, but I did like The War Within also. Both offer a lot of great story reveals and some awe inspiring secrets regarding the lore. The Second Dream also unlocks your Operator. You can customize your Operator according to your style and tastes. I actually spent a bit of time with this and had fun with it. 

Customizing my Operator. 

The War Within is great too, but I was incredibly frustrated with some of the mechanics of this story driven quest. One of those things is the length of this quest. It is incredibly long with missions back to back with no real checkpoint, so if you fail you have to start all over. There is a mission where you can't touch the laser beams because if you do it's an instant failure. This took me a couple of tries because it's on the archwing which I am not the best at. I did eventually get it after about the third try. 

After this, there are a few missions showing you how to use your Operator's abilities like void dash which lets you jump across large distances. This wasn't terribly difficult. It was just a matter of timing and practice. However, there were robot monsters that could eat my Operator if I didn't time things right. 

It was the final part of The War Within that tested my patience because of having to switch between my Operator and my warframe while fighting multiple enemies. This took me about four tries before I was successful. It was a bit frustrating because there were so many things to remember and failing i.e. dying put me back at the beginning and having to start over. 

I persevered however, and finished The War Within quest. I did like the story related secret reveals and it is very cool that you can switch back and forth between your Operator and your warframe. Both The Second Dream and The War Within are good story quests with more layers added to the lore as well as some new things added to the game. I am having fun playing the game with my husband and friends while getting ready for the upcoming Fortuna content. There's so much to do and the Warframe community is so friendly and nice, there's always great people to play with. 

Operator and Warframe together!
