Exo Stranger Referencing D1, and Veteran Dialogue.

Before Beyond Light drops, I would like to reiterate and reinforce a request made by a good number of other players both here and on reddit. I know the individual situation I am about to explain is rare, but similar things have happened to a lot of Guardians out there. I purchased D1 on Xbox 360. I played through all of the content, even got triumphs done before the release of D2. When pre-orders came out for D2, and details of what would be carried over, as well as the migration ... I was gifted a PS4 and had no money to buy an XBone. With the Playstation exclusives and the promotional ads in my face everywhere ... I didn't want to wait for an XBone to play Destiny 2 at release. Thus all of my progress, triumphs, and veteran dialogue was replaced with lines that always irked me and made me feel forgotten, unaccomplished, and as if all my efforts and exploits were for naught. It was the occasional line, and it was only later that I had heard the veteran lines that sparked my envy of those who had made the journey on the same platform. Having played D1 with only two friends, who were fortunate enough to have both consoles immediately they would play on and off with me on PS4 but ended up just quitting entirely. That was when disaster struck. Without getting too personal, I lost my PS4 to blunt force trauma inflicted by a violent person. I had already started over once and recently talked to a friend about having them build me a PC. So I repurchased the game in the blizzard store. Pushed through all the content I had done before, but with no friends to raid, and none of the eververse stuff I had on PS4. Missing out on season specifics, etc. Cross save was enabled and I recently got back into Destiny after giving up a while back due no having to friends to play with. I looked through the Cross-Save options of my accounts and realized I had more triumph progress, higher light, etc on my PC account. So I had less to catch up on before the Content Vault. Playing Shadowkeep for the first time, hearing Eris say "Another Guardian" in reference to Crota's End and the occasional reminder that my old Guardian "isn't" me. I have to say it sucks. Now with the Exo Stranger coming into the fray again, I fear that she too will have references that act as though all the time spent fondly playing D1 on Xb360 will be omitted. [b] So I come here to implore you Bungie, please enable veteran dialogue. [/b] Look, I'd ask for account-wide eververse unlocks(Death To Kells has yet to drop for me on PC, I have a fallen themed Exo Hunter for an RP reason but no Fallen Skiff). I've bought the game twice, grinded up to current content, and am completely okay with that. Circumstances beyond my control lead to those events but I love the game and want to keep coming back. But D1 was my golden age when all my friends played. When I was stress-free and ignorant of the way the world can be sometimes. I wanna feel like my Guardian of old, from D1 has been there along with me. Not forgotten, and enduring still. So I just ask, for a little toggle in the gameplay settings, to swap the audio Veteran Mode or New Light. Maybe Pre-Shadowkeep status is a good requisite? Could also be an opportunity to enable "masculine" or "feminine" pronouns or something for those who care about that? For Drifter to say "sister" or "brother" accordingly(as well as any other instances of pronoun use). Anyway, thanks for reading! TL;DR - Veteran Dialogue Toggle in settings for pre-shadowkeep players.
