A Character Without A Voice

Yes, I'm referring to nobody other than the main Character who did have a voice at some point, suddenly came to a stop, and we never spoke again. I don't know whether this was out of the lack of time considering all the last minute changes Bungie had to reinforce before Destiny was released or out of the cheapness of not wanting to hire people to voice them. I love destiny! But it makes me feel stupid when I do some of the missions sometimes and the Ghost responds to every single thing that's going on and our guardian is just there completely mute, like how can he not want to say anything even while he's killing gods or stuck in the tightest spots. Its always the ghost who tries to make humorous comebacks and as much as I appreciate that I feel like it just ruins most situations. Especially the intense parts of the game. My character feels like more of a slave than an actual guardian who has done so much. His/her voice should just be as equally tingling as the speakers, I mean after everything we've done... come on. I just hope they take the time to make our characters in Destiny 2 have their own voice and opinions about everything that's going on. Where do you guys stand? So a lot of you guys are okay with the character not saying anything, I didn't really mean our character needs to say oh shit I'm going back to orbit in the middle of a strike or something. Lol I mean like in missions where he's actually sneaking into the dreadnought and he's on open communication with the Vanguard and Eris, discussions are going on and our ghost replies to every single thing. That's just ridiculous to me personally. Like he had nothing to say when the ships invisibility failed? Lol idk... like I said, it might just be me, most of you are already used to other games that don't really have any sort of communication going across with the main character.

  • I think they decided to go for the silent protagonist since Destiny is about [u]your[/u] own personal [u]legend[/u]. Having a protagonist that [u]you[/u] created speak could've been considered as bad because it breaks the feeling that [u]this is your Guardian[/u]. Kind of the reason why you will never see Link in the Legend of Zelda speak, because the devs wants you to feel like you are him. (He spoke at one point in an older game, but it was a disaster so they stopped it.) I think Bungie felt like having a silent protagonist would be better for the rest of the game, but I could be wrong and I now by now nobody really cares about having that haha.
