Dinklage is cool. I'm more in awe of Lance Reddick, Nathan Fillion and Gina Torres in the same room.


Wait what


They're the Vanguard representatives for the different classes in the Citadel, I mean, the Tower.


WHAT CLASSES ARE THEY. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Lance Reddick is the Titan Vanguard.
Nathan Fillion is the Hunter Vanguard.
Gina Torres is the Warlock Vanguard.

Is that what you wanted?

He was ultimately told to deliver it that way. It had to have been what Bungie wanted, or else they would have given him new direction and done more takes. It's Bungie's fault, not his.

Well that's completely unacceptable. I hope somebody got fired.

Wait, nevermind.

Down with Dinklage (reply) Am I the only one here who thinks this is a result of poor directing (vs poor voice acting)? They either wanted him to sound like this or they gave him absolutely no context for the lines.

Somebody on NeoGAF also pointed out that they're probably going to "digitize" his voice, as heard in the E3 trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wih6D1hdh4#t=1m9s). It does sound somewhat better but no amount of digitization will fix the "it's the hive" line.

good point (reply) https://destiny.bungie.org/forum/index.php?id=24755 https://destiny.bungie.org/forum/index.php?id=24755 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:59:26 +0000 DestinyYapok Absolutely agree (reply) "Soulless"
"Phoned-in"
"Uninspired"
"Going through the motions"
"Acting while texting"

And other phrases I'd use to describe Dinklage's acting in Destiny. Compared to Cortana and 343GS he doesn't come close.

Bungie was either hoping for a stellar GoT-esque performance from him, a boost from his star power (like when everyone lost their shit over that actor in the Law of the Jungle commercial), or some combination. The more they were relying on the strength of his voice acting, the worse this (very large, presumably) investment seems.

Down with Dinklage (reply) I have yet to get into GoT so the only thing I've seen Dinklage in at this point was "Knights of Badassdom" which is literally the worst thing I've ever seen, and I've been to /b. ANYTHING would seem good to me after that disaster.

For the record, I watched that movie because it was free on XBL on a weekend when I was very bored, and because the description made it sound like it was in the spirit of this masterpiece. It wasn't. I should have stopped after the first 20 minutes, but I kept thinking it must be about to get to the good part. It didn't.

I loved MOST of his work (reply)

The Moon line was delivered in a way that sounded like he was reading from a children's book.

That's probably how it sounded to him.

Might be how the intelligence behind the Traveler thinks about humanity as well, I suppose.

The weaponsmith (reply) Sounds like he is doing an impression of the Bastion narrator.

I feel like Bungie wants to stuff as much as what they love about Video Games in general into this game.

Down with Dinklage (reply) I have to admit, I would prefer a few different voice options.
