is this an xcom 2 thread?
Connor Rodriguez
So was there ever any in-game explanation as to why some people can awaken blades and some can't? Since blades are basically just there to collect data, maybe the cores can tell the user doesn't have any useful data?
Ryan Cook
cummy
Levi Hill
don't lewd the birb
Sebastian Smith
what a dumb bird
Ryan Flores
Uhh... what was her name again?
Landon Cruz
Other than it being entirely chance based? Genetics maybe.
Austin Turner
The whole ideas system and Klaus saying that he created blades to keep the new humanity from repeating the mistakes of the old one made me wonder if it's meant to weed out some of the shittier people from becoming Drivers, but people like Theory's driver still manage to make the cut, so...that probably isn't right.
William Myers
Birb is very cute, imagine chilling and lazying around all day.
Blake Clark
So what happens to loli blades who get awoken by a big ass wolf monster?
Michael Lewis
Amalthus removing data from the cores improved their chances of awakening with more people, so probably
Joshua Jackson
>"someone's being tar-get-ed"
Levi Ward
How does that work, anyways?
The cleansed cores are easier to resonate with, but the game also seems to suggest that once a driver resonates with a blade they have 'aptitude' and can resonate with as many as they want.
So if someone who wouldn't be accepted by a regular core resonates with a cleansed one, will all the normal cores start accepting them too?
Wyatt Martinez
Perhaps its to weed out people heading down "wrong" evolutionary lines instead
Andrew Bell
Yeah Nopon in general were known not to be able to, cept a few rare cases. Must be genetics. Why is the Architect so racist? This is eugenics.
Anthony Gomez
Nathaniel Brooks
I think it was....Flinch?
Connor Brooks
Nobody knows because at the time the plot of the game happens Indol basically controls the global supply of cores

What if Finch is actually a dinosaur that thinks she's a bird?
Gabriel Lewis
some genetical link probably
Tyler Howard
nopon don't come from titan lineages, so resonance is far more rare
Nathaniel Hughes
Cute cat.
Gabriel Ramirez
nopon are all a bunch of greedy jews anyways, fuck 'em
Xavier Diaz
The Architect did everything he could to prevent Nopons from taking over the world. And yet, they did. Truly the most frightful race.
Jose Bailey
Look at this homosexual OP
Jackson Scott
Imagine fucking Finch but she cums. But she forget that she came and then cums again.

In the game, if you can awaken a common blade core, you can basically awaken any of them. Although there is a limit, anyone who can awaken a core crystal can have a small army at their disposal (10-20 common blades, at their command, with a chance for rare blades in there). Rex does this when he takes over for the Mercenary work, and is a good guy, but it sucks that seemingly no one else in the XC2 world thought to do the same. Everyone sticks to their 1 blade and tries to grow with just them all their life. Although it is true that an S rank blade affinity will get you more power than 10 C rank affinities, seeing how blades are super durable I still don't see the draw back on an average blade driver having more than just 1 blade. Yet NPCs never do it.
Leo Price
according to klaus blades are meant to collect data so the people that cannot awaken them are literally uninteresting npcs
Gabriel Hill
the architect did not create the nopon, look at the species chart he draws
nopons are ayy lmaos
Jeremiah Martin
Amalthus and Lora did it too, but yeah. It's especially odd that the Ardainians put so much focus on recruiting new drivers, but aren't taking full advantage of it by having them resonate with a shitton of blades.
Tora's family are all pretty interesting, though.
Aiden Hernandez
I would say, this is probably because of Indol. Remember those blue fuckers control the spice influx. And who controls the spice, controls everything.
Oliver Campbell
the party members are all special and don't have a limit, except for morag who should but they wouldn't limit her
Tyler Young
lora had 2 after like 17 years, amalthus can have as many as he wants due to indol biotech. Morag is the only character in the story who should be limited but isn't because that would make tank blades largly useless
Alexander Jackson
Wow, guy, I haven't even cum yet and I feel GREAT! You must be really good at this!
Zachary Gomez
THAT I JUST FOUND
Jackson Foster
>Liked birb the most from pictures I saw before the game released
>Literally the last blade I got was her
why
Kayden Murphy
I guess because Blades are basically people, and not all blades follow commands (some can be sassy or unruly) people don't want to manage the headache that would be several blades at once. Didn't Praxis and Theory's belong to the same bandit driver? I think that was the only case I can remember of NPC with more than 1 blade.
Liam Morris
>tfw Tora is the nopon equivalent of a giant, burly construction/trade guy
Ryan Clark
That's not true, some NPC early on (I think the Ardainian recruiter guy in Gormott?) says that drivers can resonate with a bunch of blades if they want, suggesting it isn't some special ability.
And I don't see why Morag would be an exception. She's technically the only party member other than Rex who canonically has more than one Blade.
Christian Gomez
No, Praxis' driver died when they were separated. Theory's driver was the leader, who she turned on to free herself and be with Praxis.
Jackson Davis
a bunch yes but not infinite
>I don't see why morag would be an exception
because she's just a human
Carter Anderson
>because she's just a human
Why would that make any difference? What are you even basing this on?

Jaxon Rogers
I think it doesn't work like that since the party members are all special in some way
>Rex is the Master Driver and has a part of the core containing all information
>Nia is a Flesh Eater and all of them were able to resonate with other blades
>Zeke is a Blade Eater and it seems like they can also resonate easily with other blades
>Morag is the most normal but already resonated with Brighid, which would mean that she already has high resonance.
>Tora literally built his waifu
Eli Nelson
He was more based than people give him credit for. Legitimately contributed to the party in story and is a useful tank.

Wyatt Morris
Maybe.
