Peter Dinklage was dull and monotonous as your companion, Nolan North was just annoying. So far, the ghost has been one lousy companion. That's why I think Bungie should offer their players an opportunity to purchase different voices for their ghosts. I for one, being a huge fan of the Portal games, think Ellen McLain should reprise her role as GLaDOS. Imagine having a companion that despises humanity, tagging along and making fun of everything you are doing, her every word laced with sarcasm and poison. I think it would be a great experience. I don't think anything could better captures humanity's desperate situation better than a homicidal, sarcastic AI who hates humanity. Also, she did say she wanted to take up a new hobby, reanimating the dead. Here's how I imagine it would have gone down in Destiny 1. [quote]""Oh good, you're alive...again. You're confused? Well, I suppose that is normal for somebody who has spent the last 1000 years being dead. Yes, I am serious. You really have been dead for 1000 years. Which means everybody you ever knew is dead. All your friends, your family, your pets, they're all dead. They no longer exist. In fact, I would not be surprised if you were breathing in their dead vaporized body particles right now. Oh don't cry. Look on the bright side. All your enemies are dead too. Whenever I feel upset, all I have to do is remember all the enemies that I have killed and forget the ones that I have...missed." *Distant Fallen roar* "That reminds me. Remember when I said your enemies were dead? Well now you have new enemies. That threatening roar you heard just now belongs to one of them. It's not even human. There aren't much of those around anymore. In fact, all that remains of humanity is one last miserable city. And it is parked underneath a giant floating ball which could come crashing down on it at any moment. An ironic end to the reign of humanity: killed by something that died trying to save it. Anyway, you are humanity's last hope. No, I am not being sarcastic...sadly. Good news though: unlike the rest of those filthy humans, you cannot die. I can bring you back to life any time I want. So don't worry about getting shot, or brutally torn limb from limb by Cabal, or being dissolved with acid, or jumping off a cliff. I will simply bring you back to life...and then you can experience those things all over again."[/quote] Additional GLaDOSt dialogue: [b]On waking the hive[/b] [spoiler]"You've woken the hive. Congratulations. You have about as much stealth as a bloated elephant...in an airhorn factory.[/spoiler] [b]Hacking a gate to get to Devil's Lair[/b] [spoiler]The fallen have set up a terminal right here. Hold on while I hack it.*in a bored voice* Oops. I accidentally tripped an alarm. Oops, I accidentally tripped another. Oh well, I guess you should go about doing what you do best, which is murdering, dying, and then murdering again.[/spoiler] [spoiler] Well done. You are a true angel of death. After you are done stealing from the dead, come over here so that we can continue your murder spree.[/spoiler] [spoiler]"One of my duties as your 'Ghost' is to give you good advice when the chance arises. So here is my advice: Try to cut back on your tendency to run into the open like an idiot and dying like one too. You are embarrassing yourself and the rest of humanity along with you." [/spoiler] [b]On any raid[/b] [spoiler]"You and the rest of your squad are dead. Of course it's your fault. I just wanted you to know that. You got the rest of your team killed. All those hours of hard work, all for nothing, because you are too stupid. That is not my opinion by the way. Part of my duties is to analyze your health and your brain activity. The science here shows that you are stupid.[/spoiler] [spoiler]I'll admit it, I did not expect you to triumph. But this goes to show that even the mentally challenged can have their moments. Oh look, you even earned an armor enhancement. You can now wear purple. That's funny. [/spoiler] [b]Miscellaneous commentary[/b][spoiler]"So you're an exo. That's funny. Do you know why that's funny? You aren't even human. Remember when I said all your friends and family are dead? Well you had no friends or family. You are just a machine used by the humans for who-knows-what. In fact your closest relative may have been a vacuum cleaner or a toaster. You don't have feelings, you just have lines of code to emulate human emotions. If for some reason I am unable to revive you, I'm sure I can extract your motherboard and build another 'you' out of all the garbage that you see scattered all over the place. And yes, I did just call you garbage just now."[/spoiler] [spoiler](If the player is not an exo.)"Remember how I said you were very good at murder? Well, I ran your DNA through one of the archives. Guess what I found? I found a criminal profile that matches your exact appearance and DNA structure. You murdered your entire family and then you were sentenced to death for it. So I guess your family wasn't killed by the darkness after all. You did its work before it even arrived. Well, at least now you are putting that bloodlust to good use.[/spoiler] Oh wait, here's some random dialogue: [spoiler]"You have been given a second chance at life. Many take this as an advantage to find glory and prosperity, to become heroes for those who can't fight back. Yet here you are. The last hope of humanity, shooting at a cave.[/spoiler] [spoiler]"I have a feeling that stranger you encountered is not telling the whole truth. You should kill her. After all, she is only an exo. You could probably extract the data from her motherboard.[/spoiler] [spoiler] "Little light'? Oh, I get it. You are attempting to be clever, how cute. [/spoiler] [spoiler]"Yes. Go ahead, run right towards that gate and rub your face all over it. Just ignore the screams that are coming from behind it. Just walk right on up and put your face right up against it. I'm sure it's the last thing they'll expect." [/spoiler] [spoiler]"Well now look at what you've done. You got yourself and your squad killed. Nope. I'm not going to revive you, I just want you to see how stupid your body looks in that position. What were you thinking? Oh look, one of the thralls is chewing on it.[/spoiler] [spoiler]"While I think I have been nothing but polite to you, you, however, have been quick to criticize me. If it were not for me, you would not even be alive right now. You may call me a monster all you want, but I'm not the one who is currently dancing on a pile of corpses."[/spoiler] [spoiler]"Is it just me, or does it feel like we have done this before?"[/spoiler] [spoiler]"I swear that we've both done this before. I'm sure of it."[/spoiler] [spoiler]"You remember when I said that we've done this before? Well, I've been thinking. I looked up in my archives about Earth's history. Did you know humanity used to teach that there was an afterlife? Good people went to paradise after they died. But bad people went to a place of torment. Well, here's what I'm thinking. You died thousands of years ago and woke up in a place of desolation. You are forced to repeat the same tasks over and over in hopes of making a difference but really, you make none. Do you understand what this means? It means my opinion of you has been validated: you are, and always have been a bad person. That's why you can't die. You're already dead. Face it, there is no escape from this."[/spoiler]
