Nolan North now voicing Ghost in Destiny

Originally, I thought this meant that Dinklage would simply be replaced going forward in this fall’s expansion, The Taken King. The most elaborate collector’s edition of the game when it was released actually gave you your very own Dinklage-voiced Ghost. This created a sort of problem for Destiny‘s longevity. That XP is then directly applied to their level. In other words, the game will recognize that you already have gotten your 4th drop of “No Land Beyond” and will account for that in the loot you receive for your hard work.

If you are not familiar with North’s work, have a look at his extensive voice acting resume sheet. And in many ways, it’s an entirely new game.

“On September 15, 2015, Activision Publishing and Bungie expect to release The Taken King, the largest update to the Destiny universe yet”. Later, they added a bit more digital pizzazz to his voice, which helped, but did little to make his delivery any more convincing, and he now serves as a bad storytelling instrument in what so far has been a pretty bad story. “A Ghost is not just something that can be turned back on”.

◆ Players will be able to inspect in-game items to unlock pieces of lore; it’s unclear whether that will replace the clunky Grimoire system. The sudden halt in progress once players hit the soft level cap of 20 was not well-received. He has previously worked on games like “Uncharted” and “Assassin’s Creed”.

Bungie also used Gamescom as a platform to debut the newest “Destiny Trailer, titled “We Are Guardians”.

At GamesCom I was allowed to play a truncated version of one of The Taken King missions.

The “Dinklebot” in Destiny has been a point of great contention within the gaming community. It is opening up the options for players who maybe don’t want to repeat the same strike over and over, and run a raid three times a week.

Creative director Luke Smith said the developers decided to get the actor to re-record all the dialogue in the game. All told, Destiny The Taken King does seem to do a good job of smoothing the rough parts in the Destiny experience.

So could they be working on a PC version of Destiny? It’s also redesigning much of the Destiny leveling system.
