I think I may be the only one who has this opinion, but I'll ask anyways. Am I the only one who wishes their guardian would be more vocal? Like even subtle dialect like there was in the beginning of Destiny 1. And yes I'm aware this is a beta and there may be dialect in the game, but even within this beta there have been key points where my character could have spoken and ghost spoke instead. I liked how my character would interact in cutscenes with the ghost. The "Little Light" joke is a line remembered by most veteran guardians. Could you imagine a story play through as a Hunter, and having an exchange of whitty jokes between yourself and Cayde-6? As a Titan, discussing battle strategies with Zavala? Or even as a Warlock, carrying an intellectual conversation with Ikora-Rey about whatever the hell Warlocks talk about!? Lol
Imagine playing a story mission, and reaching a cliffside in the game. To the left is a staircase, straight ahead is a cavern that goes downward. You now have 2 objective points, and at the same time you're now having an argument with your ghost in the middle of your mission. He tells you, that according to his calculations, it would be much safer traversing down the staircase and through the buildings (resulting in more enemy battles and increasing your end game rewards), but your guardian argues that taking a leap of faith down the hole would be much quicker (straight shot to boss fight, end game loot remains the same).
I don't know. Maybe my imagination runs a little too wild. Maybe I'm asking too much. As it is, this game looks phenomenal. The visuals, the gameplay. Story alone in the opening mission is more immersive than all of Destiny 1 ever was. I CANNOT wait to pick this game up in September. But my point is, that I'd like my character to have a voice. I haven't heard them speak since December of 2014. I dunno. Maybe he's got PTSD from the Black Garden and that's a grimore I never got to read.

Probably intentional for the Beta. They said that they want us to feel more attached to our guardians so this current lack of creation/voice in the Beta is probably so we feel more attached to our actual guardians when the game launches.
