"The adventures of Ghost and his bodyguard 2"

It’s equivalent to Superman being mute .

What bothers me is that our guardian had a voice in the vanilla destiny. Then it just went away cause Bungie

Ironically, Bungie themselves helped prove just how disastrously bad their decision was, when they did that cutscene between Osiris and Sagira in the preview for "Curse". We see Osiris and Sagira walking (and floating) along together. We see the differences in their personalities: the intense and driven Osiris, and the more restrained and practical Sagira. For the first time since the scene on Venus, where you irritate Ghost by calling him "little light", we see a Ghost and Guardians as a team. It didn't help that so many of their cutscenes played to the deep weakness of a silent Guardian. The worst I remember is the one where Sagira departs and Ghost returns to himself, and he has all these questions about what's happened. Not only are you incapable of explaining (the cutscene could have been rewritten so that you did, even without Guardian dialogue), but Ghost is confused and upset at what happened. You can't reassure him, you can't focus on the task at hand, all you can do is throw yourself against the portal like some mindless brute. The Rancor in "Return of the Jedi" showed as much intelligence. Also, this conflict reprised itself at the end of the DLC. Firstly, your Ghost's line makes no sense, because Sagira's line "our Guardians were amazing" is true. We did all the shooting, but Osiris did his part as well. And second, a simple throwaway line by you could have been really dramatically effective; something like "I know who my Ghost is". At that moment, you would have shown that you understand your Ghost's feelings of insecurity and possessiveness, and assure him that he has nothing to worry about. Restoring your Guardian's voice would maybe be difficult, given how many reliable voice actors would be needed (though Nolan North could probably do all three male ones himself, just like conversations between Pokémon's Ash Ketchum and his mom were actually Veronica Taylor talking to herself). But I think it would improve the story, especially the cutscenes.

[quote]but if we had a few things to say to what we did during gameplay that'd be awesome.[/quote] No. That’s gay. Didn’t you have a voice in D1? I don’t care much for the series anymore, but if I ever go back I don’t want to have to listen to the same kind of obnoxious shit you have to put up with in the latest Ghost Recon. Besides, Master Chief was silent. The Rookie didn’t have a voice. The people who wrote that article are grasping at straws.

The way it's set up now makes it seem as if the ghost is the main character and it annoys me to no end. All of the other guardians talk and what's weirder is that I've never heard Zavala/Ikora/Cayde/Shaxx's ghost speak...yet ours won't shut up.

The problem with having a voice actor for a character is that not only do you have to pay for the voice actor, but also the writers who write the lines, designers making sure everything syncs up, story boarders to make sure that what your character says and does won't seem out of place. And before anyone points out this is already part of the people's jobs, keep in mind that quality is diminished the more attention has to be split. Now, with that being said, I do agree that Guardians need to speak again. The draw of a video game is that it is an interactive, cinematic experience that allows for full immersion, and generally the more you can be immersed, the better the experience. Now obviously each game is different, and some games don't need a protagonist to speak. Destiny though doesn't strike me as one of those games. Destiny 2 made great strides in characterization for it's characters. Zavala feels more like a leader, Ikora a wise mentor, Cayde...well, Cayde. Than there are other characters such as Failsafe, Asher, Hawthorne. Regardless of personal opinion, each character has something to add to make the Destinyverse feel more real. The problem, at least personally, is that this all grinds to a halt whenever my Guardian enters a room. Nessus is a perfect example. When my Guardian is searching for Cayde and finds him, you can see the Guardian motioning, as if getting ready to say something, only for Ghost to suddenly take over. Mercury again, the moment Ghost returns to his shell and is, understandably worried and confused, the Guardian tries to force his way into the Infinite Forest and, rather than be like "Dude, what happened?", Ghost is like "Hold on, I remember now!". Finally, at the very end, Ikora claims that she is close friends with the Guardian. Except it doesn't feel like she is. If you played vanilla D1, you can kind of see it. After the Black Garden, Crota, Oryx, SIVA, your Guardian is MVP of the Tower. If you didn't, or are like me and switched from Xbox to PSN, than your Guardian is a newbie Guardian. Well, than how about Io some might say? Ikora does say you helped her through that. But how? By showing up? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't feel like we do much. Ikora's down in the dumps, we show up, she discovers the Red Legion are messing with the Traveler, and she suddenly gets all gung ho? What did she think the Cabal did at the beginning? Gave the orb a sweater? It felt more like Io was just a box that needed to be checked than anything else. Now imagine if the Guardian spoke? On Nessus it was the Guardian who kept trying to ask Cayde what happened? We can build a snippy, snarky relationship. On Mercury we can show how we're a team with Ghost by comforting him and explaining things. And we can cash in on a relationship with Ikora by her remembering an inspirational speech from back on Io. I'm not writing this for education or to make a case, kind of preaching to the choir in this thread. I'm saying it in the hopes that Bungie reads this and works on fixing these issues. With Destiny as it is, I feel more like I'm watching snippets of a movie before being able to just mindlessly shoot stuff rather than being immersed in a story. And that is exactly how video games fail. TL;DR : Destiny's ability to tell a story is horribly stunted by the fact that you can replace my Guardian with a wooden plank that can carry a gun and almost nothing would change.

Perhaps it's a thing with bringing back the voice actors, idk. But if that's the case then at least make a reason for why we can't talk. Could've happened through Ghaul's attack or something.

I would like your post but it's at 117 likes. If it gets 118 likes I will downvote.

OMG yes. I hate that my guardian is mute. What idoit thought that was smart to have the ghost doing all the damn talking

This is yet another example of Bungie completely ignoring the desires of the community. From what I have seen, I believe the majority of the player base wants to hear our Guardians speak as they did in Vanilla D1. But Bungie said “nope, we are smarter than you guys” and ignored us once again.
