bungie did an AMA with IGN today
one of the questions was if our characters will remain muted, with a simple reply "yup"
- - -
first off, it was not in the original dream of bungie studios to have mute characters - - they never felt that way with Halo, and went through the trouble to have * * * SIX * * * different main character voices for vanilla destiny
i think they are just lazy and don't want to spend money on good voice actors they deem "non-essential" - - as it stands right now, * * * GHOST * * * is the main character of the Destiny franchise and our controlled characters are just the supporting cast to his journey
your thoughts?

Maybe if the cut scenes were actually done well it wouldn't matter that we're mute. Unfortunately the cut scenes in homecoming alone are horrible and just awkward silence. When we are spoken to they pan over to our guardian, and do an extreme close up and.....just awkward silence follows with maybe a head nod....that's terrible cinematic story telling. If that's what we have to look forward to when they say "improved" story and more cut scenes then Bungie is just a sad and pathetic company, at least story telling wise.
