Recorded NPC Tower dialogue (Destiny)

by Stephen Laughlin ⌂ @, Long Beach, CA, Friday, June 20, 2014, 05:33 (3808 days ago)

I spent some time wandering around the Tower recording miscellaneous NPC chatter during the last day of the Alpha and arranged a few of the clips into a video here. Check it out. Not a complete collection by any means but I think there are some interesting hints about the story. Civilians being curious about the Guardians' affinity with death, Zavala complaining about political leadership ("didn't we have enough Kings after the Collapse?"), something about the "Siege of Tycho" from the FWC Exo, etc.

I love the voice actor for the FWC rep. She sounds so wonderfully grizzled for a robot.

Is the FWC Women perhaps voiced by... Barbara Rosenblat? I'm not super familiar with her work by any means, but it seems pretty close.

Nope. It's Shohreh Aghdashloo.

Fortunately, she has a distinctive voice, and she's been in a couple of popular TV shows lately, so it was a relatively trivial matter to pin down her name.

I suppose that implies at least the outer wall was built within the past century or so if human lifespans haven't changed.

"A poster - a big ocean with a wheel."

Yeah, that one's intriguing!

Human lifespans tripled with the arrival of the Traveler.

But did they stay that way, or was the effect limited to the "Golden Age" period?

Ohh! That makes sense as a Halo reference. I was wondering about that one. Silly. I was thinking it was a Destiny race yet to be revealed or maybe the Speaker took off his mask and went for a stroll. Dude's a regular Phantom of the Opera. :)

Mysterious.

Who could Squid Face be? Is it YOU?

You know what? There was one line I distinctly remember hearing that I didn't manage to catch on video. It's probably irrelevant, but one of the NPCs asks if you heard any howling last night.

Does the Shipmaster say: "We're close, NLS drives, that'll change everything." Near Light Speed? Could be mishearing, but that's what I hear.

Awesome! Pretty sure Cpt. Zavala is Keith David... Sick.
