You are right and even if I enjoyed the 80+ hours i've spent in skyrim this minor detail is so gamebreaking that I will never buy a Bethesda game again!
Argonians don't have the scratchy voice they did in Oblivion, Bretons don't sound like weenies, Dark Elves (Mer in general) don't sound like the same gay guy. I love the voice acting in the game.
