Bro is so stupid, I became stupider reading his original post Look up SAG AFTRA and come back. Then edit your post because you're absolute clown mate 🤡

If you read closely, it says distorted soundwaves. The nine aren't meant to be talking considering that in the lore, they don't have actual bodies. And the actors who couldn't voice their characters got temporarily replaced. All characters will have voice lines in the dlc.

The nine are basically dust. Dust doesn't have a voice. Besides that one of the dialogue scenes in the pre-release footage has a Nine member telling us they're speaking to us through thought.

The nine do not have bodies or voices, hence them using the emissary to communicate. The actors who could not voice their characters because of the strike were temporarily recast and are voiced in the expansion. Neither has anything to do with saving money.

Calling out all the Bungie glazers on this thread defending Bungie again for their awful decisions. “Despite the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, some video games are still being released with full voice acting. This is because the strike is targeted at [b][u]specific companies and projects[/u][/b] that haven't agreed to the union's terms for AI protections and other contract issues. Many games are continuing to be produced under [b][u]interim agreements [/u][/b]or with actors who are not part of the union.” Bungie hasn’t made an interim agreement with SAG-AFTRA, which is why their members won’t work for Bungie at the moment. They could have done that, but you know, [b]money[/b]! Other games have had SAG-AFTRA members working on them because those games companies came to an interim agreement with the union, so that the impact on the quality of their game was not passed on to their paying customers. But oh no not Bungie. The same precious Bungie whose upper management refused to take pay cuts to save jobs. “We don’t do that here.” Jobs that were under threat due to the aforementioned upper management’s piss-poor decisions. The same precious Bungie that has been caught stealing art work no less than 5 times? The same precious Bungie that stated :- "In the months to come, your quest to become more powerful will have more avenues that lead to satisfaction. The last thing We wanted was for you to look at your favorite gun or helmet and decide that it had become obsolete. Since the reveal, we've read a lot of ideas for how this could have been done better. Your feedback is clear: The time you have invested in your stuff should be respected." I mean the pattern recognition is real. Bungie talk out of the sides of their mouths so often, their mouths no longer point straight forward. 🤣 But oh no! Please tell us again, oh Bungie glazers, how this voice acting issue isn’t entirely Bungie’s fault?

I would assume that’s due to the VA strike.

I’d like all dialogue in braille.

There's an actor's strike right now (and has been since last year), that's why some of the dialogue wasn't spoken during Heresy.

If you're going to cry or b*tch about something, maybe at least look up why it happened in the first place. Especially if you're going to use the episode that has had it stated multiple times that the strike is the reason why portions aren't voiced.

Pov: you don't understand lore on the nine They have no voice. They spoke through hosts. The distorted Soundwaves and visuals are their way of speaking to us without a host like the emissary.
