A Love Letter To Ordis
One Of The Most Memorable A.I In Video Games

Hey, guys.
May the algorithm bring this piece to you.While Warframe is a great gameplay experience, it sadly doesn’t elaborate much on its story or individual characters, at least not directly.
There are a few recurring characters, some better than others, but one of the best is your most common, Cephalon Ordis, or Ordis for short.
He’s our Orbiter’s A.I. companion, i.e Cephalon Simaris, and he handles everything from landing, information, ship, and weapon care, to name a few.

Now, so far, Ordis doesn’t sound special at all, and even though I thought the same for a while, wait and listen, and I don’t just mean to me.
While on your Orbiter, Ordis will talk about anything from his daily tasks, jokes, encouragement, and even tidbits about the world of Warframe.
This is when Ordis truly shines.
Even though his jokes can sometimes be corny and his dialogue repetitive, everything he says oozes personality, which is even more impressive because he’s just an A.I. we don’t see.

Ordis is an excellent bridge between us, the players, and this ambiguous world.
While he can be anxious, needy, and even a little annoying.
He absolutely has the most personality of anyone in this game, and it’s his flaws and details that make him so.
So thank you for everything, Ordis.
The game wouldn’t be the same without you, and we love you for it :).
Thank you so much for the read.
And as always, I’ll catch you guys in the next one.
