That would be hilarious. It also be even more hilarious if the Stranger, Eris and Drifter just sitting there on comms and all of them at the end said wtf did we hear and dying of laughter lol, but that would’ve been funny

I absolutely *love* this mission purely because we finally get to hear something from our Ghost that isn’t about scanning And Spider, can’t forget about Spider
Nolan North is the heart of Bungie’s VA cast. Already does a great job for Ghost, and when Fillion and Drifters VA aren’t able to make it, he filled in for them as Cayde and Drifter perfectly. What a talent, we’re lucky to have him
We’ll probably have conversations with Ghost moving forward, but we have 6 voice actors for every language. I don’t think dialogue choices will ever happen.
Yeah Bungie is pretty bad at writting a good character. They managed it with Cayde-6 and the Drifter. Nearly every other npc is boring, exchangable or just poorly written (like Zavala and Ikora who is literally the most useless side character ive ever met in a game).
@@SilverusX I still don't understand what a "good written character" is in the community's opinion. A joke of a character like D2 cayde? Turning cayde into a comic relief character was the worst decision bungie made from d1 to d2.
better yet, customize the tone, pitch, and volume of ghost's voice, want a girly ghost? Done. How about one that sounds like he will eat your eyes? Done,
@@Kevin-bs5tv I refuse to think they'd kill an important character's ghost like that offscreen. There's gotta be more that they aren't telling us about what happened to Sagira.
We NEED a Lore Tab about Ghost continuing his Drifter impression once in a while for fun, and even of other character. Zavala, Ikora, Crow and the Guardian itself.
Fun fact: They originally tried to get drifter’s voice in there but he couldn’t come in to record it. They got Nolan North to act as ghost impersonating drifter, and he did, but he did it a little too well and sounded exactly like the drifter. So they asked him to do worse. Nolan also voiced Cayde in the first forsaken level because they couldn’t get Nathan Fillion in to record it
What makes this even better is that Nolan north voices ghost, and he is one of if not the best voice actor, in a hundred games, he can be anyone, he could do a very accurate impression of drifter but he went with this one lol it's so good I love this mission
that... is actually exactly what happened. Todd Haberkorn couldn't be reached during developement due to COVID reasons, and a writer reasoned it'd be easier to get Nolan North booked and rewrite Drifter's lines to be said by Ghost instead.
I swear this is just Nolan North taking a bet from someone in the studio saying "Bet you can't do an impression of the Drifter while also voicing Ghost"
According to a Bungie employee on Reddit; this came about because, thanks to COVID, they couldn't get Drifter's VA in to do his lines, so they asked Nolan North (Ghost's VA) to imitate Drifter as Ghost. Evidently Nolan was too good at it so Bungie deliberately told him to make it worse.
It speaks to Nolan’s talent that he can put on the ghost voice, doing an impression of the drifter’s voice. I mean he could probably just do a straight up impression of drifter, but nah it’s the ghost doing it. Love to see it.
it really amuses me to know that when Nolan initially did the voice lines for the Ghost imitating Drifter, he imitated Drifter TOO well, so they told him to tone down the imitation until it turned into this.
For anyone that doesn’t know, the reason we had this impression is because Drifter’s voice actor couldn’t make it to record for this mission bc of rona. Nolan North was already there so they kind of constructed a plan. Nolan did an impression of Drifter and it was really good, but Bungie thought itd be funny if Ghost played Drifter here, Bungie then told Nolan to do an impression of Drifter but really bad. Fun little story i think, a reason why Bungie regained my trust and why Nolan North is my favorite
(Writing as of lightfall) I love how over the years our ghost went from paranoid to getting more and more aggressive. Like his beliefs are challenged and he doesn’t care anymore and chose violence
I find the funniest shit being that apparently North initially did such a good Drifter impression that they had to ask him to tone it back a little and make it sound more like ghost.
Drifter Ghost brings new levels of discomfort every time I hear it. In fact this just woke me up from a deep sleep, because I passed out with youtube on...
I love that Ghost gets more confident in the new expansion! He seems less scaredy-cat and more like he's having as much fun as we do, while still being careful in dangerous situations
“Brother”
HE SAID IT. HE SAID THE THING.
he didnt say OOOOH FALLEN ON THE HORIZON
