Yes I am, but you've also got sussix, essix, cornwall, devon, norfolk, kent.. etc all further south.
Add in wales and scotland, a border man's not going to sound the same as a highlander, at least my gramps did not.

No offence, but Ive tried watching some shows on Showcase once in a while and most of the time I cant understand a damn thing they say

french/ British (not any posh accent or one specific to a city, a regular one)

If you were to ask a non-TES-fan what they thought a Breton was, they would say "From Britain," much like how if you asked the same person what a Nord was he would reply "From Norway (or perhaps other Scandinavian countries)," and to a lesser extent Imperials are akin to citizens of the Roman Empire. Redguards most resemble Africans. The human races are already based off of different nationalities, changing Bretons to be French would simply make no sense.

nordic definetely suits the hw druid scene better, it kind of fits into the whole scandinavian old religion / paganism thing

perhaps if they just get a few english people to do some accents it might not be so bad

But Bretons all have French names. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Category:Oblivion-Breton and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany. Even to a non-TES fan Bretons resemble the French.

one thing i hate about british accents (i have one myself) is that people overdo them so much it's cringeworthy. there also isn't a singular British accent.


every city/county has its own accent. put a Cornish man, a welsh man and a Manchester man together to see the difference (similar to the us, although i like british ones better)
then there are the people that just have the regular country accent rather than county (which occurs in every place)

the posh guy/girl accent that is stereotyped i don't know the origin of- but i hate it !

Three letters BBC.

Seriously Shakespeare, Robbie Burns, Lewis Carrol, Jonathan Swift and other writters showed speech as it is / was in Britain.
The BBC, RADA and public schools gave us the blasted posh accent.
To allow proper understanding to the lower classes, to speak clearly and to be understood.

Thats true of every country and accent though. Even here in Canada off the top of my head theres west coast(more american), prairies, quebec(the french one), and newfies. Thats not counting Natives, and Ive never been to Toronto or Winnipeg or Yukon so there could be more.

I get annoyed by hearing "EH EH EH" all the time on American shows, but thats just how it is.

This would be great. Finally a legit reason to kill every single Breton in the game.

No

He kind of veered between Edinburgh and Dublin; or rather more like an American doing a poor version of both accents and hitting neither. But I put that down to his insanity.

I wouldn't mind Bretons with French accents - just so long as it's not a caricature Pepé Le Pew version. Something like Belloq from Raiders of the Lost Ark would be OK.

lol

Anyways, I'm cool with bretons having a slight French twang. I'm more fussed about the races being distinguished culturally though. I hope that's part of the efforts to differentiate between the races that BGS have been making.

Interesting point. Didn't even know there were real-life Bretons :turned: . And yeah, they're names do sound very French.

Brad Pitt's Pikey accent in 'Snatch'

How...how...

They've never had French accents before, why the hell would they have them now?

ETA: I'm passionate and I'm Australian. =|

dont Bretons have french names anyway?

OMG!! please no!!!


I always found the Canadian english, always thought is was funny

i don't mind accents if they are not stereotypical. like i have mentioned a couple of times, no posh english accents.

I don't care which race will have which accent,but a variation of accents would be a nice thing to add.
When I got S.I. and Haskill started talking to me,it felt so refreshing.
Even at small countries,if you travel from village to village you may found people talking with such accents the same language,that it's hard to understand.

But they shouldn't overdo it.

Regarding old english,I say NO.
Let them use any accent they want. British,American etc,but please not Old English.
Lot's of players around the world which their first language isn't english and the game isn't localized at their first language,they will choose to play it at english.But english classes around the world teach Modern Brittish English and not the Old tongue.

I remember when I first played Zelda: Ocarina of Time back then,and there was an important NPC named "Deku Tree" wich was a tree and all his dialogues where at Old English. I didn't undestood 70% from what he was saying..
And I don't want this to happen to me again!

well real life bretons would be from britain who used to have alot of monk type people around (i see bretons as monks) and considering the language from britanny would of been breton made from celtic british .. so meh british or french accents would be close but probably would seem rather strange within the game.

The only frenchman in Elder Scrolls is... Lucien Lachance

Also I''ve never heard us English being called Passionate and eccentric! were mainly grumpy and hostile... I hate people.

haha me to.. i think its true with pretty much all english people, apart from hippies

I suppose since Bretons are the descendants of Brythons (English Celts) they should have west country accents. But then they'd sound like Hobbits.

LOL I'm from Bristol and i can tell you now a west country accent wouldn't fit the 2nd most magically gifted academic race in Tamriel!

"you alright me old mucker?"
"yeah i'm good shag! you goin down copperhouse tonight, bird?"
