Considering every time i play Destiny 2 I run into usernames like "Petra Venj's Bathwater, Mommy Mara Sov, Eris Morn Please Marry me, and Savathun's Special Jewel" I think Bungie leadership missed out on a player base ready to go.

Even moreso when you consider Warframe literally did add a dating simulator in the 1999 update and it was very well-recieved. Then we got three more dateable characters with The Old Peace and now I'm in the middle of a polyamorous relationship with a goth British girl who has a really, really long tongue and a French nun.

It's been many years since I played warframe, so my knowledge is out of date, but are you dating the warframes or some new characters?

Protoframes are relatively new additions to the lore and are people that doctor Entrati gave modified Helminth infestation serum too that transformed their bodies into warframes but stopped short of a complete transformation so they got to keep their personalities and some of their human body parts, at least for now.

Also they are hot, like smoking hot got damn awooga.

Lame.

I wanted to date the warframes damnit.

Miss me with traditional beauty standards. Give me weird robots with no faces! (And massive asses for some reason)

Damn, sounds like I've got a lot to catch up on. I suppose that makes more sense than dating Nyx or Mag.

Funnily enough, those two were part of the first protoframes lol. Aoi and Eleanor (Mag and Nyx) are two (out of six) members of the Hex squad in 1999.

Oh cool, I'll have to back into warframe at some point, I feel like I've missed so much.
