Over on the Destiny 2 sub-Reddit, players have begun to post details about a special interaction between certain Titan players and Saint-14. With the Helm of Saint-14 exotic gear equipped, approaching the legendary hero in his spot inside the Tower will now trigger a special dialogue line.

An amused Saint-14 will excitedly tell the player:
While this custom voice line should amuse Titan players, it almost didn’t make the cut for Season 9. Picking up on the fan excitement and wanting to share its story was the Technical Dialogue Designer at Bungie. After being recorded, the Destiny 2 team quickly added it into the system for Saint’s vendor dialogue. However, in order to properly work, a custom filter needed to be created and applied to it would only trigger when the specific conditions were met.
Unfortunately, with time running out and the necessary technical work not complete, the VO was marked to be cut for time. However, Kareem, the Technical Dialogue Director loved the idea so much that he continued to work on it along with Brenton Woodrow. The filter was added, but after the first test, the line wouldn’t trigger. Undeterred, Kareem adjusted the voice line order, so that if the Helm of Saint-14 was being worn by the player, the system would check that first. After the update, everything worked as expected in game, which left more than a few developers surprised as they thought the line had been cut.
If the recent rumors are to be believed, Saint-14 is about to be pretty busy in the future. Recent glitches and datamines have strongly indicated that the fan favorite mode Trials of Osiris may be coming back soon. Based on new voice lines, many are expecting Saint-14 to be the one to provide his voice to the matches as well. His dialogue in some of the Season of Dawn missions reference more than a few Crucible style lines such as Two for One and plenty more.
