The details
One thing that we’ve tried to do on the Ishtar Collective is to record and transcribe all of the dialogue from Destiny, but covering everything is really tough!
If you’re willing and able, please help us by picking one of the activities below and recording a video. If you’re feeling especially helpful you can even submit a transcript!
Please post any new transcripts in a separate topic.
Please remember to include:
- the name of the mission/strike/cutscene…
- the URL of your video (either a youtube URL or a download URL so we can host it on our youtube channel)
- the date that the video was recorded
- if you are including a transcript, a transcript that follows the transcript guidelines
Video guidelines
- Record the game with subtitles enabled
- Never edit cutscenes or cinematics
- Focus on recording the speech of the characters
- For Story Missions, typically, don’t include Ghost Scans that aren’t directly related to the mission (this is subjective)
- For Ghost Scans, each Ghost Scan should have its own video
Transcript guidelines
- If there’s a difference between the subtitles and the spoken word, prefer the spoken word
- Include place names if they make sense (especially if the location changes abruptly)
- Include descriptions of events if they would be of interest to the reader
- Mention characters even if they are silent (e.g. the Exo Stranger)
- Mention named enemies
Transcript Example
See King of the Mountain.
