Maybe you don't care about the characters, but I for one feel a very powerful connection with:
-Stalwart 1980's police sergeant
-Clearly-overpowered mysterious wizard lady
-Floating cringelord robo-sidekick
-Sassy technobabble scientist guy
-Nathan Fillion
-Split-personality malfunctioning AI cliché
-The Brutes from Halo
-Cybernetic John Browning
-Guy who can't decide if he wants to be NS, a Commie, a Chinese Emperor, or the creator of Metal Gear Solid
-Old British guy with saucy voice
-Emo Moses
-Engram guy
-Yoga Robot
-Other engram guy whose actually an old lady
-Sloane
-"It was Bill Nighy the whole time!?" guy
And finally, ethnically-ambiguous female with sniper rifle who can mastermind all sorts of tactics and engineer explosives and has mad hacking skillz and refuses to conform to the status quo and has epic LOL XD quips at the expense of the other characters especially those in positions of authority. Yeah, Suraya's definitely my favourite and her character archetype has never been in any other game or work of fictional media ever before!
So what do you mean Destiny's characters aren't good?

由Call lt Friend0编辑: 11/10/2017 8:57:03 PMOk so for posterity (and that I can't guess some of these): Zavala Ikora Ghost Asher Cayde Failsafe Cabal Banshee Hideo?? And What's NS? Devrim Dead orbit dude Tower cryptarch FWC robot lady Farm cryptarch ..... ?? No clue. So where's Lord Shaxx, and Holliway? Also i had literally said this about cayde before: No, he's robot Nathan Fillion. Just like how Buck is space marine Nathan Fillion, Castle is detective Nathan Fillion, and Hal Jordan is superhero Nathan Fillion. Seriously, if you took any names out and kept his voice unfiltered, random lines could be used interchangeably between all his roles and they would fit the part. Not that it's a bad thing or anything, but the man's acting is basically just speaking his lines and busting out quips.

由EmanuelStevenson编辑: 11/10/2017 10:42:03 PM"It was Bill Nighy the whole time?!?" refers to my reaction when finding out, after four years of playing Destiny, that the voice actor for The Speaker is none other than award-winning British film & theatre actor Bill Nighy. As a quick reference, if you've seen "Shaun Of The Dead" - he plays Shaun's stepfather in that film. I never knew he was the voice of The Speaker, and it surprised me because I'm very familiar with his work. You guessed Hideo correctly. NS stands for National Socialism, which was the idealized socioeconomic model around which the Third Reich was structured. I used "NS" because typing "N-A-Z-I" normally on this forum results in the text being replaced with a hyperlink to the wikipedia article for "Godwin's Law". At least Bungie has a sense of humour when it comes to frivolous censorship, I guess. Needless to say, it's just a meme. Executor Hideo is a man of pure integrity, I'm sure. And yes, you're absolutely right. Nathan Fillion plays himself in everything, but to be fair, he really is an impressively good actor. His VA work is easily the best in Destiny 2, in my opinion. Also I didn't mention Shaxx or Holliday, because Shaxx is a good character in his own right, and Amanda I just completely forgot about to be honest...

(and yes you're quite right Fillion is awesome whether he's playing The Brown Widow, Cap'n Tightpants, Captain Hammer, Caleb, Himself, or a plethora of other things, he's still only playing Nathan Fillion - which is a good thing!)
