So… I’m completely outsider to this game (and series), and… is there actually much lore/story to these characters - or better yet, lore/story that anyone cares for or matters for the game?
I get that the date is a bit unfortunate all things considered, but… why do the character need to have a stated birthday anyway? Are there in-game birthday parties or what?
There is a bunch of lore for the characters, and lore for world events. Some years ago they even made an entire animated series with 5 or 6 short videos explaining how the Rainbow 6 team changed directors. There are explanations for the game modes, and also for the enemy factions that show up in the pve modes. Back when I played, most players knew quite a bit about the lore and the characters.
tbh, that’s quite a bit more than what I would have expected - especially for a game what I thought was more or less a counter-strike variant where the whole point is the pvp experience.
