People like to pile on Bungie for a lot of things, but I don't think this should be one. It's not as though Bungie is the only game with voice actor issues at the moment. They've done what they could with what they had. I fully prefer this awkward method of story telling as opposed to trying to replicate the lines through AI or with non-union actors. The one criticism I have is that there isn't any chirp or noise in game to signify that lines should be heard at the moment. Usually, when characters speak, the Ghost chirps before the lines are said. That little detail is missing. I think that would help a lot until an agreement can be reached.
Agreed. I've reservations on sunsetting, and the whole "don't over deliver" stuff. But here, I fully support the voice actors and their demands. I don't judge bungie on this in the slightest. I've yet to play the new expansion due to work, but I get it's going to be unpolished.
