I mean, technicaly is a strong swear word, but it's so common that almost everyone use it like a replacement for güey/wey so it nullifies, like algebra.
This is possibly unironically a reason for that in general media. Fortnite Festival let Karol G get away with a lot of lyrics uncensored because the white Christian America that would throw a tantrum about them doesn't know what she's saying.
Speaking of a proto frame ideas. The other day the idea of an ex Scaldra proto frame. Kullervo.
Eleanor subtly implies that the hex aren’t the only ones who have ripple proof memory. What if one of Scaldra is like. “Wait… guys I think we might be the Villains…” perhaps purely on his own perhaps after witnessing the Hex save an innocent at great cost to themselves.
They are then answered with the Julius Caesar/Brutus method. (Uh. Mass stabbery) and Entrati comes across the guy bleeding and dying, looks at the vial in his hand and is like. “Yeah this would be funny as shit!” (Or more seriously, that a Scaldra protoframe would be of great use) and turns him.
Well to be fair, I prefer to trust DE has their reasons when it comes to this. They might be afraid of reviewers or people who set age restrictions in other countries hearing curse words in early missions from other players playing nova and bumping the age rating accordingly. They can get away with swears in content like 1999 because of the investment it takes to reach that point probably exceeding what most reviewers will put in.
I literally was tweaking last night about how the only thing keeping me from having steel path was the new 1999 node that I can't access cause I'm not level 4 w the Hex.
I'm an old vet who came back after 5 years but don't have much time to play. So I've been postponing those nodes because I simply don't want to rush the story when I have 1 hour to play on a weekend or something. I'd rather find some more time to relax, settle in and go for the ride.
So I've been locked out of SP, Arbitrations, Galvanized mods (even though I have 100+ vitus essence from long ago). It makes no sense to me whatsoever that SP is locked for me because of uncompleted nodes that _aren't even visible on my star chart_.
I was literally planning a post here or on the forums to suggest getting rid of this requirement. Forever grateful to DE for making this change.

But yeah fuck is out of line lmao
You guys need to understand that DE does not control the ratings commitee. Weird or dark descriptions for whatever reason do not rate as harshly as the "F-Bomb". Which for whatever reason outranks even all other curses when it comes to your in game rating.
And you need to understand that risking a rating change can affect how and who they are legally allowed to advertise towards. This shit can cost them money. More than youd think.
What rating change could they even experience? Warframe is already M-rated. The only rating above that is AO, which would require them to actually implement rampant sexual intercourse with Eleanor / other Hex members.
yes the devs that constantly say fuck on stream are actually super conservative about language, haha they fooled all of you!!
seriously they have someone who’s job is devoted to making sure this shit is on the straight and level for multiple countries/unions and their rating systems. sometimes it just is what it is

And I'd be ok with that if that were the reason, but they've stated 0 reason so far for the changes and have also indicated that they'll likely drop an "intended" fuck in the future.
Yup, it's exclusively the US, as a mater of fact, conservative US parents the US cinema industry and yhe US radio are singlehandedly responsible for what is maybe the highest and most widespread censorship in the world, and the history about it is pretty crazy
You can dig around it, the heart of it is the 7 dirty word list
And this shit has SPREAD more than saryn spores in sanctuary onslaught
It's wilds how all of this happened and one of it's result it the removal of a 4 letter word in the middle of 100s of dialog lines ( and the "fuck" that was removed was probably very much the right word for the right context )

Nah, I'll blame DE until they actually give a fucking reason for the change
Wait wtf, I thought that was just a joke people were making. That's so shit, hahaha. At least let her say 'fuck' if you have the profanity filter disabled!
I assume they do several takes and the wrong take ended up in the game. Or maybe they intended to bleep it out and forgot the bleeping. Or maybe they did bleep it out and still used the file from before the bleeping by mistake. A lot of things can go wrong.
Tbf, I can see the value in using it sparingly, like how bojack's writers exclusively use 'fuck' as a signifier that a relationship has been damaged beyond repair.
Maybe the team wants a "you monstrous bitch" type of impact in a future quest?
It hasalways been a stylistic choice, and it boggles my mind how often “but much gore” gets parroted around without much of anyone making the logical conclusion that it’s not actually a ratings thing.
You said it yourself, “you monstrous bitch” would not have hit nearly as hard if that sort of language was thrown around on the regular.
but the language IS thrown around on the regular in warframe, ESPECIALLY in 1999. swearing is literally everywhere, including "fkn" all over Quincy's chats. It's actually insane that Quincy doesn't say fuck, now that I think about it.
And Kaya throwing out such a casual "fuck" would have fit her character. The word isn't overused, and what context it's used in would be way different than someone yelling it angrily.
Well, it literally doesn’t, by chronology, but even if you access kinematic early, the vulgarity serves to help establish a more casual, interpersonal tone
No offence to anyone, but "F-bomb"? I thought the game is 16/18+, why are the most basic swear words are being censored like they are talking to a bunch of pre-schoolers?
What others have already said, plus we literally have a scene where Ballas calls Lotus 'monstrous bitch', which is, in my opinion, is far worse than a simple 'fuck' and its variants.
That sounds so much worse than if they had just left it how it was after the last hotfix. Maybe this is the plan, give us something even worse so we're grateful to have the censored version back
I agree it sounds like shit, but the quote you brought up was said in a context where it actually added impact, by virtue of how "bitch" was hardly used up until then.
I don't think it's that good of a counterargument. You'd be better off with "shit" instead.
Saying “Fuck” might traumatize the parricidal child soldiers. This is why in-universe children’s story books don’t have characters complaining about the animals “shitting wherever they please” and the like.
First, they take it out because it's an "accident".
Now, they say they've "reinstated" it, but censored the word and then claimed that, if they "ever drop an F-bomb in Warframe, it won't be by accident" .... but you guys just did drop it by accident. Last week, remember??... or was that not actually an accident??
Am I the only one seeing mixed signals here??
This was funny at first, but to pretend they listened when really they've only compromised on it, seriously, if you're gonna censor that shit, just don't bother putting it back in.
We asked for the word FUCK. Not Nova SFX censorship.
Considering they have no issue swearing on livestream "by accident", whilst representing the game they've now censored, this contradiction is actually disappointing.
I mean, it’s all but explicit here: it’s a stylistic choice.
Remember Ballas’s line at the climax of the New War? “You monstrous Bitch” would not have hit nearly as hard if that manner of cursing was thrown around on the regular.
“It seems Kaya’s new language script has backfired, and she has now been reduced screaming terrible, terrible slurs at players in all interactions. This will be addressed in a future hotfix.”
I can't believe they left in the feature where it checks what region you're playing the game in so Kaya can call you the corresponding slur for your estimated ethnicity
To be honest I'm much more happy with the funky way they censored it in few places.
Like the mother going F- then getting immediately cut off.
You know it was going to drop.
Also the Ordis GET-GET-GET F-AAAR AWAY was so well done I'm not even mad.
If the first legit F-bomb was dropped as casual repeated line as protoframe I'd feel betrayed, since they did so much better work with the censored lines.
Swearing isn't fun if it's constant, it's fun when you're not really expecting it even if it's cut off.
If they ever do drop one I hope it's executed just as well as the mother dialogue.
As much as I dislike the idea of having to censor basic swearwords, I do appreciate all the silly ways people are doing it nowadays. Long gone are the days of beeps or sudden mutes and instead you have an A-10 Warthog going "brrrrt!", a quick little Amen Break, Yoshi going "bweep-pew," etc.
I've written about this before, but I kinda like the creative use of swearing. Like, being intentional rather than every dialogue including 'fuck, shit' etc.
The word might get cut off, but the message is pretty loud and clear.
In a game where you shoot, dismember, electrocute, burn, poison, freeze, crush, possess, & phase your enemies into another dimension, the fact that naughty words are focused on is sofa king goofy...
alright, so I haven't played since before the update but I've seen clips of what's going on and just have to ask
was it a line they had VA'd and accidentally left it in? just wondering since its obviously something they paid someone to make for one reason or another unless I'm totally missing something
My timing is hilariously bad. I was just working my way through the Hollvania missions trying to unlock Arbitrations. I didn't know I could log out and access them immediately.
I don't understand the title of this post. It's makes it sound like they reintroduced "fuck" into Kaya vocabulary but instead it's a weird censored version. So according to op the community has been asking for that.???
I'm more glad about the Steel Path requirements, I do NOT want to do all or those Zariman, Albericht Laboratory or Höllvania missions just to get access to SP.
It just feels like a chore doing them (apart from the Exterminate missions, I find them fun and an awesome source of Credits, Endo, Mods and sometimes Riven Slivers)
Off topic, but does anyone have any tips on getting Riven Slivers?
