Storytelling: still weak (Destiny)

Dinklebot line could have just be reused from something they recorded for the main game. Maybe they didn't want to hire him back (or he's no longer working on Destiny) but they didn't feel like having to explain Ghost's voice changing.

maybe, they shouldn't use "big names" for such a recurring character in their 10yr franchise. Downes and Taylor were relatively unknown, and are now iconic names in the voice-over universe. I can see having big names for other characters that tie into the main story (speaker/vanguards), b/c their part is limited and not a big time-sink; but the Ghost is always there with you, and has quite a bit to say in the main story (whether its worth listening to or not). Having a big-name actor makes it harder to incorporate them into expansions due to time/ego/money/etc. With all the negative pub Dinklage got, I wouldn't blame him for not coming back.

Maybe a good fix would be to change to a new voice-over actor for the Ghost, and give a short reason in the game why it sounds different.
