Destiny expansion The Taken King is the nearest thing to Destiny 2 we've had so far. It brings a new location, more missions, more subclasses and, controversially, less Peter Dinklage. Show of the Week examines The Taken King and reasons to consider not swapping out your voice actor, game developers. Subscribe to Outside Xbox: http://www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox

The most headline-grabbing change in The Taken King is that your levitating AI companion Ghost is now voiced by Nolan North, who replaces Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage. North gives a fine performance, but changing voice actors doesn't always go so smoothly.

When it was announced that Thief developer Eidos would be swapping out Stephen Russell, the voice actor who had played thieving protagonist Garrett in the first three Thief games, for Assassin's Creed 2 mo-cap actor Romano Orzari, fans were so upset they started a petition to reinstate Russell and oust Orzari.

You don't just risk a bunch of peeved fans, either. An ousted voice actor may be upset and turn to their sizable social media followings to vent their frustration, such as when David Hayter gave a masterclass in Twitter sympathy gathering, tweeting several jabs at Konami after Sutherland replaced him as Snake in Metal Gear Solid 5.

We're currently in talks with Troy Baker to take over as the voice of Mike. We'll let you know how it goes.

Speaking of exciting changes, next week Outside Xbox will be on the road at from Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre (September 24-27, https://www.egx.net/egx), and we have a pair of Four-Day EGX Super Passes and three pairs of EGX Day Tickets to give away.

To get your hands on the tickets and thereby EGX's hundreds of playable pre-release games, pop over to Outside Xbox Facebook (www.facebook.com/outsidexbox) and enter your email address for a chance to win. Winners selected from Friday 18 September.
