Where do people get their accents? Especially people like Cait. Was she born oversea? If she was born and raised here, unless her family never interacted with anyone for 200 years, then the accent would be lost with generations.

The Scotish (voice actor not irish btw) peoples never loose their accents I have no idea why Bethesda add npc with such accent, but add such dirty talking female may add some new. If peoples with accents never learn new ones, they will keep the old ones.

They're synths...or, the rest of the world is okay, and just leaving the US as a ruined wreck.

Had this issue in FO3, and it made absolutely no sense.

I mean if they were born in the U.S., then they would likely to have an American accent even if their parents speak a different language. Some characters have accent in this game could indicate that they're from oversea but knowing people like Cait, I don't think she ever mentioned it. It With people like Curie and Codsworth, it's understandable since the robots have the same voice modules. People will likely keep their accent but only if they weren't born here, I was just wondering about people like Cait.

Maybe she just tries really hard to be unique.

The russian brothers though? You're right it makes no frigging sense at all.

I think I read Alistair Tenpenny in F3 came over from Great Britain, so it's not such a stretch to say that Cait came over from Ireland.

It's weird though, she was born from a poor and abusive family. People like Alistair probably can find a mean to afford it, but for people like Cait or even the Russian brothers who never mentioned anything about their country of origin, I don't know how they could ever get here. It's not like there's commercial airlines around.

Yeah, I would have a conversation with them about the state of their country and things. I think Beth adds things like this for flavor but doesn't expand on it and leaves it ambiguous because they figure no-one's really interested.

Or they just can't be bothered
