As long as our guardian doesn't talk, bungie's storytelling will be handicapped and far behind other games. I don't care how good Forsaken's story ends up being, if I just nod my head when told cayde died, I'll look like an idiot. This is a crucial oversight and unnecessary point of stubbornness on bungie's part. If it's a money issue, just pay me like 10 bucks I'll do the voice acting. It's not that hard bungie.

So all of the games Bethesda and other studios have released with silent protagonists have handicapped stories according to your comment

Edited by ShadowAngel9228: 8/27/2018 2:58:54 AMWell to be fair, Bethesda silent protagonists have silent dialogue that we can pick, destiny does not. That said I ultimately disagree with the dude that mute characters=handicapped writing/story telling. There's plenty of completely mute protagonists in some of the biggest IPs ever. Doom (doom guy), Zelda (link), Dishonored (corvo), dark souls (insert random made up name), half life (gordan Freeman), portal (chell) I can go on. I think the issue is in this age of gaming, voiced characters is more of a must than it was in the past, I mean there's far more Voice acted games now than there was In the 90s early 2000s. I think there's pros and cons to voiced, mute or silent protagonists with dialogue boxes (fallout/elder scrolls style). I will however never agree mute=you can't have good story/writing. Id actually argue mute/silent furthers a story as you can use your imagination. Beats a voiced character saying something completely different than how it looked on screen.

Those games established that from the start, never show us our character directly being talked to and just nodding or looking around like huh? They handle it much better. Destiny doesn't

Edited by BossCharacter: 8/26/2018 5:21:56 PMAre you comparing a multiplayer shooter to a crafted single player experience? Especially when it comes to games where after the first time through most people skip the cut scenes anyways. I fail to see how this is a REAL issue. It’s a trivial issue.

It's not whether it's single or multiplayer, it's about having a good story campaign. This may be trivial for you but not for everyone

Actually its preference. I still don’t understand why people so vigorously get upset and have to over explain why either they like something or trying to convince others why they should like something when at the end of the day it’s personal preference. Some don’t mind no voice acting for the POV since 90 percent of game dialog is routinely terrible in most games under the best of quality. The rest is piss poor to which I’d turn off on that immediately. There is a strong reason why most games made in Japan have better voice acting locally than most dubbing allows for budgetary reasons. Great example is MGS V. The main voice actor is Keifer Sutherland(Jack friggin Bauer) and he probably has about 3 pages of actual dialogue in the game. And that wasn’t because of story mind you. Link never talked we never had a problem for 30 years. I get Vanilla has voice acting in the main campaign but this has not been a thing in 3 years. I’m not magically expecting them to add it back because it’s unnecessary. You would also have to explain away the fact that all Player controlled Guardians ARE CANON THE SAME PERSON. There are not multiple main characters. Your guardian is THE GUARDIAN they refer to in the story. Anthem is doing it by having your Hub be single player. That’s the way around it.

They didn't have to explain away that fact in the first one when we talked. And okay, it's preference. In my preference, I'd want my guardian to talk, have an actual name, and not be an emotionless robot. If you're cool with all that stuff... Okay. Lol.

Never come to any game looking for the great American novel. No game company can satisfy all users. Just don’t get offended when you don’t get what you want because others do. Your wants/needs are no more important than the next guy.

K but it's not just me....

Didn’t say it wasn’t. Same can be said for the exact opposite of your opinion.
-
Right. Bye

They don’t have ten bucks. You will have to talk to Activision.
