Not to be mean or anything but the voice acting from Taeko-3 and the other "guardians" in Savathûn's Song are, quite frankly, garbage.
They deliver the lines flat and disinterested and sound so forced and rushed, Taeko-3 even stutters for crying out loud, this is Oblivion tier voice acting compared to literally everyone else in the game and it makes the (admittedly subpar and overly common) strike even more insufferable.
Please rehash the voice acting, it is bad.

I mean, what game hires amazing voice actors for 10 lines of dialogue?

The "Guardian" was probably just a staff member.

1 ReplyI know. So much cringe. Sometimes the lines even end up out of order or the wrong responses get chosen. Maybe not wrong, but some of the alternate ones don't seem like appropriate responses. Taeko's behavior is just so silly too. [b]nO dOnT cOmE dOwN hErE[/b]. Why would she sacrifice herself to stop a shrieker? We don't care about the Hive "laying eyes" on the place anymore than they do with the dozens of other rituals. I refuse to believe sacrificing a Guardian was the only way to stop a lousy Shrieker.

2 RepliesOMG finally someone said it! "No! Turn back!" is my favorite one. Second is "Get away from him I won't let you transform him!" Third, "no please you already took my ghost!" Ugh.

4 RepliesEdited by TrulyDontCare: 1/1/2020 3:05:36 PMIt’s the writing, not the actors. Think about those simplistic, cheesy lines. It’d be next to impossible to deliver them with much grace. Destiny’s writing is unique. The lore is phenomenal. I’m always amazed at how through and interesting it is. But, the dialog is always tacky. It amazes me that it’s all made by the same company. It’s like the dialog and lore belong to entirely different games. Commercials included.

Edited by Nineball2112: 1/2/2020 6:04:57 PM"Get it together, guuuuurl". And yes, it's atrocious. I'm actually flabbergasted it made it into the game, they are so bad.

It’s because all the audio is in the wrong order and if you go to quick it’s even more out of sync lol.

No, please! You've already taken my ghost, pleeeasssee!

Think it was around Forsaken when the voice clips in the older strikes just started getting mixed up and felt randomly thrown together, but the SS voice clips are definitely the worst.

Oblivion’s voice acting is masterful how dare you?
-
red war, curse, and warmind all have terrible dialogue. forsaken is better (Baron dialogue is HORRIBLE) and shadowkeep isn't too bad
-
Honestly the lines that have the best emotion and depth behind them are from the Hive.

1 ReplyEdited by Kanashimi510: 1/2/2020 1:13:44 AMTaeko-3 reminds me of Michelle Rodriguez for some reason. I didn't think her voice acting was especially bad, and I never really understood the hatred her character seems to get. We have a few really good voice actors in the game, with Eris standing high above the rest for me personally, but I don't think that makes everything else automatically "bad". If any characters came up on the short end , I would have to go with our ghost or brother Vance, but I believe they simply voiced their characters the way bungie had written them. Both of these characters could use a rewrite and voice over, but that's not going to happen.

She stutters? When? I kinda wanna hear it

It’s bad. But I don’t think they’re going to change it after two years.

Edited by lmaica: 12/31/2019 9:36:48 PMThe feature to disable dialogue was the best thing added to destiny. I'm glad I don't need to hear this crap anymore when running this strike.
