“Brother” HE SAID IT. HE SAID THE THING.

When Ghost said “He’s wrong,” that sounded really aggressive for some reason. At least for me.

Lost opportunity to have the Drifter cut in at the last moment and offer commentary on his “impersonator.”

Funny story about this, they originally were going to have the Drifter radio in during the mission, but due to scheduling issues due to COVID they couldn't get him in to record the voice lines, so an employee (or it might have been Nolan North himself actually idk) had the idea to have Nolan North as our ghost do a drifter impression throughout the mission, problem was that Nolan North was doing such a good impression of the Drifter that they had to ask him to do a worse job to sell it as our ghost doing an impression.

There’s no way this WASN’T Nolan’s idea

Subtitles go from: "attempt as drifter" to "as drifter"

he's doing great. keep it up ghost.

Hearing ghost call the guardian “Brother.” Just feels right

just imagine if the Darkness creates a copy of our ghost in its own image its just the drifter impression, and the actual drifter will just be confused

This was the cutest thing I've ever seen second to when Shaxx ran out of medals XD

"Watch out Drifter, there is a new Drifter in town." Yeah I'd like to see the Ghost run Gambit.

I love how Ghost is so confident, it was a nice change to him being so paranoid.

I'm sorry, I couldn't even complete the mission because I was laughing so much from this...

I had to set my controller down for a bit after he did the "Brother", I loved that mission and I love ghost

Imagine being called brother by The Drifter. This post was made by the sister gang.

Imagine drifter listening in on his comms and just laughing to death

“Hive! Bring a sword!” Had me rolling

Person:how you like your ghost? Me:he’s cool I gues- Ghost:”this video” Me:he’s my son and I will kill anyone who says otherwise

he's killing it

So apparently Drifter hails from the North American South, according to Nolanbot.

I absolutely *love* this mission purely because we finally get to hear something from our Ghost that isn’t about scanning And Spider, can’t forget about Spider

Ghost: (as Drifter) Scorn approaching! Chibirobo: (screaming)

Is it just me or is Ghost’s personality evolving in tandem with the game? He gets more and more great moments as time goes on for me.

When Nolan North who already had to take over for Cayde-6 says, “There’s a new Drifter in town.”

Ghost is best boy to ever live, must protect at all cost

Nolan North is the heart of Bungie’s VA cast. Already does a great job for Ghost, and when Fillion and Drifters VA aren’t able to make it, he filled in for them as Cayde and Drifter perfectly. What a talent, we’re lucky to have him

I am really attached to my Ghost for my Hunter, named him Alastor. Hearing this, after being a D1 Day 1 player, made me laugh and cry.

Me and my friend barely beat this mission because we kept doing impressions of ghost doing drifter impressions and laughing our asses off

I wish Spider would have commented at the end about Ghost’s impression skills

I can imagine the Drifter listening on ghosts impression of himself and TOTALLY agreeing that the ghost had a solid impression

Love the ghost so much. Wish we could at some point have dialogue options and talk to it

All i'm hearing is Nolan North having fun with his job. Brilliant.

Best part of the entire expansion

Future dlc ft. Nolan North as the entire Cast

When I first heard it I was like "Oh no. My Ghost is the biggest dork!" and I love him for it.

And they say they had to ask the VA to sound less like Drifter too

I’m so glad destiny is finally getting dlcs with a good story and hilarious dialogue like this

Catch my heart melting from this. I’ll fight off the darkness myself just to protect ghost

I couldn't help but continuously snicker with the ghost's adorable impression.

I never thought i needed Ghost impersonating Drifter in my life. I honestly love this mission, especially since you get Salvation's Grip from it.

And some people dare say this games has no charismatic characters...

I still wish we could get a female voice for the ghost like Sagira for example.

The emphasis he puts on brother/sister makes it feel like he's been waiting since he revived you to call you that

He has so much sass now!

Fun fact: They originally tried to get drifter’s voice in there but he couldn’t come in to record it. They got Nolan North to act as ghost impersonating drifter, and he did, but he did it a little too well and sounded exactly like the drifter. So they asked him to do worse. Nolan also voiced Cayde in the first forsaken level because they couldn’t get Nathan Fillion in to record it

We NEED a Lore Tab about Ghost continuing his Drifter impression once in a while for fun, and even of other character. Zavala, Ikora, Crow and the Guardian itself.

Nolan North sure felt like he had fun doing this, and Ghost’s impression of Drifter was pretty great!

Ghost, still talking like the drifter Me:"okay ghost, the missions over. You can stop now"

Bungie, come on! After this one we ALL need an emote that allows us to hug our Ghost!

fun fact: nolan north actually did too good of an impression, they asked him to do worse

When he dropped the "brother" I died when doing the mission for the first time

He sounds so cute trying it.

If I ever see Nolan at a convention I wanna ask him about this hilarious idea

I remember playing through this and was barely able to shoot the enemies cause of how hard I was laughing

All this time and Ghost has never bothered trying until now.

Brilliant impersonation

This was probably the best mission, for this reason alone

I dunno about the rest, but when he said ”Hive! Bring a sword”, I felt that.

It speaks to Nolan’s talent that he can put on the ghost voice, doing an impression of the drifter’s voice. I mean he could probably just do a straight up impression of drifter, but nah it’s the ghost doing it. Love to see it.

I like to imagine that Drifter's voice actor was either sick or couldn't do the lines at the time, so Nolan was just there like: "I gotchu, homie."

Guess I'm buying the campaign now

he sounds so proud of himself at the end

I swear this is just Nolan North taking a bet from someone in the studio saying "Bet you can't do an impression of the Drifter while also voicing Ghost"

Bungie had to tell Nolan North to do a *WORSE* drifter impression in order to get this.

Now imagine if it was dinklebot

one of my favorite moments of Ghostie, I was laughing so hard I nearly died a couple times

The "brother" really sells it

I like how Ghost's impression of Drifter is just an old cowboy

The gun is awful. This mission is 100% the best part of this entire quest.

When I heard it I was in awe cause of how cute it is

it really amuses me to know that when Nolan initially did the voice lines for the Ghost imitating Drifter, he imitated Drifter TOO well, so they told him to tone down the imitation until it turned into this.

Nolan North unironically having the time of his life impersonating another character:

B R O T H E R

This was brilliant!

0:25 I love how our ghost says Brother and then the music drops. That shit is gold

When our Ghost said “Brother” my heart melted

Sad he didnt go OOOOOH

I love this so much 😂😂

Every time the ghost spoke as his drifter impression, it made me smile

I would happily pay $10 for all of Ghost’s lines to be re-recorded as him doing this impression and then I’d get him a little cowboy hat ghost shell

Nice brother

According to a Bungie employee on Reddit; this came about because, thanks to COVID, they couldn't get Drifter's VA in to do his lines, so they asked Nolan North (Ghost's VA) to imitate Drifter as Ghost. Evidently Nolan was too good at it so Bungie deliberately told him to make it worse.

What makes this even better is that Nolan north voices ghost, and he is one of if not the best voice actor, in a hundred games, he can be anyone, he could do a very accurate impression of drifter but he went with this one lol it's so good I love this mission

Beyond Light really brought out ghost's personality. I don't know what they did, but I hope Bungie does more of this in the future.

Man, even I do better than that

It's Nolan doing a Todd impression

For anyone that doesn’t know, the reason we had this impression is because Drifter’s voice actor couldn’t make it to record for this mission bc of rona. Nolan North was already there so they kind of constructed a plan. Nolan did an impression of Drifter and it was really good, but Bungie thought itd be funny if Ghost played Drifter here, Bungie then told Nolan to do an impression of Drifter but really bad. Fun little story i think, a reason why Bungie regained my trust and why Nolan North is my favorite

Ghost calling me "Brother" and saying "Hive, bring a sword!" has gotta be the best thing I've heard in Destiny.

(Writing as of lightfall) I love how over the years our ghost went from paranoid to getting more and more aggressive. Like his beliefs are challenged and he doesn’t care anymore and chose violence

I find the funniest shit being that apparently North initially did such a good Drifter impression that they had to ask him to tone it back a little and make it sound more like ghost.

Honestly i had a bad day at work and came home to this, it made my day

The amount of confidence he had to show how he can "sell it" made me lose it when playing this mission 😂😂

The way ghost says "brother" was so cool.

how come when he said "...brother" my brain reacted like it was the funniest thing since that one video where the waffle falls over

I remember I had a shit day at work and was feeling awful. Came home and played this mission, hearing ghost imitate Drifter made my day

I love that Ghost gets more confident in the new expansion! He seems less scaredy-cat and more like he's having as much fun as we do, while still being careful in dangerous situations

Ghost needs a name and so does the guardian.

This is why I love this game, they have so many creative opportunities to do stuff like this.

Apparently Nolan North's impression of the Drifter was so spot on that he was told to be worse at his job to make it sound more like the ghost.

Wouldn't complain if ghost spoke like that all the time. Love it!
