It's natural to like Dinklage better, it's like saying that Sean Connery was the only "real" James Bond, because he originated the role. I personally like the two in different ways, at different times. I liked the way North handled the end, Ghost actually sounded excited and elated that light was returning to the Traveler. Admittedly, I liked Dinklage's annoyed "Don't do that." when the player called him "Little Light". And he sounded more robotic, appropriate since he was playing an A.I. -- the Exo characters sound similar. Which I liked better is harder to answer. It is also [i]completely irrelevant[/i], because let me tell you what I REALLY disliked: having Ghost fall silent throughout the entire Dark Below DLC. Also, having him remain so in House of Wolves. I liked Eris, I really liked Variks. But it was TOTALLY immersion-breaking to have my longtime companion/guide suddenly reduced to a walkie-talkie becauise Peter Dinklage wasn't available to record a few more lines. THAT was unacceptable. And, having Ghost speak with two different voices at different times would have been even more unacceptable. Bungie understood this. They understood that since it was impossible to keep Dinklage in for the long haul, they had two choices: eliminate Ghost as a character, or totally overwrite Dinklage's version. Given how time-consuming and expensive it was, I doubt it was a decision they made lightly. And if it had been feasible for them to retain Dinklage, I think they would have done so. And if he had been able/willing to do his damn job, I would have been willing to have him back. [i]But he wasn't. [/i] Nolan North is very different as Ghost, I won't deny it. But he is also a longtime veteran of the gaming industry, and he undoubtedly understands that he's in this for the long haul: DLC's, sequels, whatever. Hopefully, when the rumored Vex DLC comes to us later on, our chatty "little light" will be at our side, giving us his take on the situation.

  • But Sean Connery wasn't the first actor to play James Bond, so that analogy doesn't work here.

  • He's regarded by most as the original Bond, and the one who set the standard by which all other Bonds were judged, so it works adequately. Technically, George Washington was actually the eighth American President, but we consider him the first.
