Nimbus should’ve been the one to sacrifice themselves
The Cloud striders look at their own lives differently than those on Earth it seems and even with Nimbus coming off cynical, it would’ve gave Nimbus a better send off than Rohan.
Rohan could’ve looked at Nimbus and realized that there isn’t someone else to teach that wasn’t introduced into the story, frightening Rohan to seeing he may not even be around to teach a new generation of Cloud striders. Rohan could’ve easily become frightened, truly eclipsed in teaching Osiris and our guardian what it means to be a Cloud strider, with everything behind ideals and the actual sacrifices. Rohan then could’ve looked at the mural of the youthful and cheery Cloud striders, realizing that even in defense of Neomuna, war itself is terrible and there should be peace, even to the point of closing off the entire planet to the rest of the universe, similar to what Savathun wanted in a sense.
Rohan’s character was truly wasted.

Edited by Coldhands: 3/20/2023 2:58:58 PMYes, Rohan's character predicably lived and predictably died the Obi-wan trope without deviation. He was boring and the game didn't do anything novel or interesting with him before killing him off. But you knew they weren't going to kill the 'quirky' high-energy character (especially when they're non-binary), we're supposed to like them and think they're cool. And to be fair, I don't hate Nimbus; they just come across as an entirely artificial construction designed to elicit specific emotions from the player while handing them quests and exposition. There's not a lot of development done to Nimbus's [i]character[/i], just to their role in the game. Destiny's mainline writing throughout the seasons has mostly been a very thin sheet thrown over the live service structure of the game, so it's disappointing that, when they have the space of a larger campaign to work with, the writing team kept things so shallow and obvious. : \
