#DESTINY 2 LIGHTFALL NIMBUS PLUS#
Plus you know, all that canon representation. So anyway, this was cool, and we got a neat transmat effect and some nice wallpapers out of it. Bungie specifically has really tried to change that lately by driving home hard the importance of Saint and Osiris’s relationship, going so far as to correct people who say they’re just good wartime buddies. And I think making this explicitly canon is also important, as often times it’s just hints about a character’s preferences rather than saying it outright. Now, with confirmations like this, gay, pansexual or non-binary players now have specific characters they can point to as existing within one of their favorite games. The default in 98% of video games for decades were straight lead and supporting characters. Oryx is transgender, having transitioned from female to male in the lore.Īs for the inevitable question that some will pose here “who cares?” I will once again tap the “representation is important” sign. The new Strand powers of grappling hooks and rope darts look dead cool. Neomuna, the neon capital megacity of Neptune, is very pretty. We also know Devrim Kay and Ana Bray have same-sex partners, though they have been removed from story relevance for a good long while. A new trailer for Destiny 2: Lightfall hot and fresh out of The Geoffries tonight certainly makes the next expansion for Bungies MMOFPS look cool. I actually think that now there are more confirmed characters in that camp than confirmed straight characters by a fairly significant margin. The wait for Destiny 2: Lightfall is almost over, and as is tradition, Bungie has released a ViDoc video offering fans just enough to chew on for the week or two before it releases. Lore scholars will know these are not the only LGBTQIA+ characters in Destiny.

The collective reaction from the community to this news was “of course.” Currently, he seems involved in some deep flirtation with Eris Morn, but the man has lived many, many lives…
