A 'Shallow' Personality Option for your Guardian

I'm sure something to this has been suggested before, but it wouldn't be DTG without a retextured repost.

 

One moment everybody loved about Forsaken is when our Guardian finally spoke, announcing that he/she was going to hunt Uldren Sov. However, Bungie chose to keep our Guardian silent throughout year one for a reason: We all have different ideas of what our Guardian's personalities are like.

One feature I'd like to suggest is a very basic set of options that set dialogue based on your guardian's personality. This should be a good middle ground between having a mute character and removing your own personal lore about the character.

 

A couple personalities I'd suggest are cocky, by-the-book, grim and silent.

Consider the following set of dialogue between Zavala and your Guardian:

 

**Zavala**: "Guardian, the Scorn have infested the EDZ. Eradicate them."

**Cocky Guardian:** "They won't know what hit 'em."

 

**Zavala**: "Guardian, the Scorn have infested the EDZ. Eradicate them."

**By-the-book Guardian:** "Consider it done, sir."

 

**Zavala**: "Guardian, the Scorn have infested the EDZ. Eradicate them."

**Grim Guardian:** "They'll regret setting foot on on our turf."

 

**Zavala**: "Guardian, the Scorn have infested the EDZ. Eradicate them."

**Silent Guardian:** "..."

**Ghost** "We're on it."

 

Ideally, being able to select the personality from the settings should help keep people from feeling like their guardian isn’t well represented.

I'd like to finalize this suggestion by mentioning that I do **NOT** think our guardian should suddenly be included in most conversations. The more they speak the higher chance there is that they say something out of line with your personal head-canon. However, conservative use of this feature would prevent awkward scenes like having Ghaul monologue to someone who can't respond.
