Because your character isn't named dude, and that's the only way she could refer to you so that it's clear to the audience it's your guardian.

That's what mine is called. You know, that or His Dudeness, or Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

She refers to us as "that Guardian that you never shut up about". But she knows us. She's bet money on us, and we've helped her win a contest with the Chaperone (helping cement her mother's legacy). Why would she act like she only knows us through Zavala, if we have a personal relationship with her? Anyway, that bugged me quite a bit.

Anyway, good points in that video, keep it up!

Well, that only applies if you did the quest for her. Some people, uh, may not have.

Don't feel bad. You have to fix Crucible matches, and the Chaperone sucks anyway.

I mean, there's still all of those offscreen Noodle (Ramen?) adventures that we go on. Surely we'd have gotten to know her better over the year(s). It's not like our Guardian sits in his ship in orbit when we're not playing... I mean, unless you're one of those Exos...

I could imagine they'd all have their own nicknames for us. She could have referred to us as "our friend" or "The Leadfoot" or something a little more personal. Sure she meets countless Guardians, but she knew exactly which Guardian we were when Zavala gave her the order, so she has to know us in some way or another (I mean, one of the very first things that you do in the game is get your ship serviced by her).

In D1, Shaxx calls you "Hive Bane" if you've completed TTK. Someone else calls you "Slayer of Oryx". We sure aren't "becoming legend" if the people that we regularly interact with start acknowledging us through hearsay...

A lot of games, MMOs included, always have some generic title for the player character, which is handy for spoken lines. KOTOR 2 you were "The Exile", in Skyrim you were "Dragonborn", so on.

These were titles and identities that only YOU, the player, had. The inherent problem I'm seeing is that not everyone does the same content, so trying to pick something might be tricky. Not everyone slew Oryx, or played any D1 content, after all.

That said, we need a better descriptor than just "The Guardian."

My hunter dated her for the past 2 years and that's how she refered to him? He's dumping her as soon as he gets to the Farm.

Still jealous of your hunter.

I kind of agree with Korny, but from a different angle. I know it's contrary to the video tradition of having the player be the supreme hero of the story, but one thing I like about the Destiny universe is that guardians are seldom singular. I wouldn't mind if the outro for strikes (and maybe someday raids, if they had outros) referred to us a team. Likewise, if an NPC is referring to us in conversation with higher ups, "a guardian" would work, as in one of many. One on one, of course, they could suck up to us as being special, which we might be to them if, for instance, we just finished their quest.
