I didn't do them before. I guess now I will.
"A Hollow man, leading others to die...for a silent god."
We did not follow a silent god, but the leader who through the uncertainty and pain, fought for everyone, every step of the way.
A silent God cannot give orders, a silent God cannot grieve with those who cry. A slient god cannot fight back and rally the people to never give up hope. Rest in peace Commander for we follow your orders until we are no more.
What a terrible day for rain.

I'm the opposite. Used to buy them from orbit via the app but now I go out of my way to go in person just to hear a voice line and see the tributes. Every tower instance I've been in since the news this week has had a vigil of guardians paying respects. So cool.

Yeah, ngl I’m normally fairly indifferent when it comes to celebrities (don’t mean anything bad by it, but it’s the truth), but this one really hurt.
I love his work; The Wire, Destiny 2, Horizon,… It’s such an immense loss.

I’m so happy I’ve seen Fringe mentioned almost everywhere.
I always felt it was such an under appreciated and unknown show to many.
That’s where I was first introduced to Lance, and then watched the wire. May his memory live on through the greatness he was apart of.

I love Fringe! I used to watch it on TV, then bought all the blu-rays and recently I have been watching it on HBO max. It’s a hidden gem for me but can be a hit or miss, one of my sisters love it, the other one thinks it’s meh. Lance was absolutely brilliant in it! He plays all his versions of Broyles with so good

I first saw him in Lost, then the Wire. When I started playing Destiny I was so psyched. He was incredible in everything he was in, but his unique way of speaking and top-notch acting worked so well for Zavala.
I've donated to the charity. I hope it's something he cared about. I know he cared about Baltimore, and supporting mothers in need is a good cause anyway. RIP Commander.

Ironically enough the titan commander himself played a warlock in game. But let's just honor him in general. Not saying this to say we aren't titans but it's just a neat fact.

While he wasn’t surrounded, me and a random last night sat right in front of Zavala for a good 15-20min. We simply just sat there and Zavala looked at us the entire time, never turning around. Made it even worse knowing that Lance is gone, but never forgotten

They are for previous notable members of that class, Wei Ning and Ulan-Tan. The Hunter one is actually Andal Brask's set, Cayde took his cloak after his death, and if you compare them Cayde's is slightly modified.

They could reprise the Jovian Guard armor set from Destiny 1 and bring it to D2. That armor was basically a player version of his armor.

I had a variety of experiences that lead me to stop playing the game 2019 after playing for about a year. When I picked it back up in late 2022, the community seemed to become more welcoming (as much as any online game can be). It’s nice to see this recognition. Lance meant alot to this community, and this community meant alot to him.

u/i-Ake 13d ago
I have had a love/hate relationship with the game since it was released... but Lance as Zavala was always a bright spot. One of the best of the voice actors, hands down, but his involvement with the community and obvious love of the game and character just endear him to me so much. His death hit me harder than I could have guessed.

Not played Destiny but looked up articles about this. It’s pretty amazing. Also just makes you sad. He was on my short list of actors where if he was part of a thing, I was likely going to check out that thing. His taste in projects was spot on, he always brought his A game to every role. In interviews and the like he also just came across loving what he did and oddly in Hollywood that is a rare thing.

I started playing destiny in the beginning of COVID, only played a bit and just barely picked it up again this past December. I’d seen lance riddick in his previous work as most of us, but it just weird that I feel incredibly sad about this like it bums me out, maybe it’s because of constantly hearing him as Zavala but this man was hilarious and a terrific actor, seriously just taken too soon
