Future 2 Gamers Discover Proof Explaining Nimbus’ Immaturity – Gaming Reviews

Future 2 gamers are calling consideration to an simply missable line of dialogue that gives perception into why the Cloud Strider Nimbus may be so immature. Lightfall, Future 2‘s newest enlargement, has been closely criticized for its story. That features the introduction of the Cloud Striders, Nimbus and Ronan, and Nimbus’ immature and unserious characterization particularly. However Future 2 gamers suppose there could also be some background data explaining why Nimbus acts the way in which they do.

For probably the most half, the primary Lightfall marketing campaign story is skinny on element relating to the town of Neomuna and its Cloud Strider protectors. The essential thought is that the individuals of Neomuna escaped to Neptune to keep away from The Collapse and that its Cloud Striders shield it from all foes — even Guardians, if wants be.

Given the duty of the place of Cloud Strider, in addition to the gravity of the scenario when Lightfall begins, many Future 2 gamers have been confused and sad with Nimbus. All through the Lightfall marketing campaign, Nimbus would joke and make mild of the scenario, or in any other case would act recklessly and with out pondering issues via. They acted like a toddler, all issues thought-about. Future 2 gamers now suppose that could be as a result of Nimbus is a toddler.

A line of dialogue from Quinn in Neomuna’s Corridor of Heroes heard solely whereas idling describes Nimbus earlier than they grew to become a Cloud Strider. Quinn describes them as a “scrawny child, 155 centimeters, perhaps 45 kilos after an enormous meal.” If Quinn’s line is taken actually and does not assume Nimbus was only a very small and skinny grownup, a 100-pound youngster might be across the age of 12-14 years previous. If Nimbus was solely 12-14 once they utilized, they could nonetheless be a teen through the occasions of Lightfall.

It is weird to contemplate, but when a 12-year-old Nimbus utilized to be a Cloud Strider and Rohan had solely been coaching them for a few years earlier than Lightfall started then Nimbus might be as younger as 14. They are much extra more likely to be no less than 18 if solely so Bungie may say they don’t seem to be sending a toddler into conflict. Nonetheless, that might clarify why Nimbus acts immaturely.

Nimbus nonetheless being a toddler suits narratively with Future 2: Lightfall‘s lore, as nicely. There’s lore revolving across the previous Cloud Strider Maelstrom, who educated a bunch of youngsters to turn out to be their rookies. The truth is, there are lots of tales implying the Cloud Strider program is deeply unethical. Maybe Future 2 gamers ought to lend extra empathy to Nimbus, or additional query why Bungie is unwilling to extra brazenly share these bits of necessary story and lore gamers in any other case must dig to seek out.

Future 2 is obtainable now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Collection X/S.
