How about we have orcs sound like orcs?

Their special finishing move is stabbing people in the face with sautering irons.

:rofl:

I do not want to see Japan in any game that is not directly portraying something that is Japanese. Keep TES free of the ANIME plague, please.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz54GILHkNg is what I think of when people label the races of Elder Scrolls as "Oh, they are based on this" especially when they go so far as to ask for more influence. How about some originality?

I mean no offense to the OP I'm just saying... It's not like Bethesda said "Okay, this race is X race in real life. Let's base everything off that" If anything the artists and designers were influenced subconsciously but stuff they were reading/into at the time. My point is you can't just "pin" any race in Elder Scrolls to a real world counterpart.

never really noticed the Japanese connection, but to me it would definitely be weird to have the orcs use that accent. I think back to Quest for Glory 5 when they had the Khatta (that game's Khajit) speak with an accent. - Granted, his people were based on Persians but since he owned the shop he made you think of Apu from the Simpsons. Don't give them an accent, unless it's an original one. I would prefer snarling brutish lore unfriendly orcs to Japanese ones.

but the typical American does not sound like our let's say.. British "ancestors".

No, but a lot of them do talk with an almost Irish accent.

There's nothing wrong with Japan, or Anime.

But please, never ever in TES.

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:49 pm

Wow

Just no. I love orcs in Elder scrolls, please don't take that away from me. They are not Japanese, they are orc.

If they have to sound different then before they should all just sound like Christopher Walkin.

absolutely :celebration:

that would be HILARIOUS. but i dont think every orc should have japanese accents, maybe 1 for an easter egg

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 2:29 am

Sigh.. why not.
I'm fed up with every damn accent sounding the same, speaking the exact dialect, tone, manerisms and subtlety as the last genero high fantasy voice.

Though not japanese, Orcs are more Hunish or Mongolian.

Not really.

No.

TES cultures are not meant to be X IN FANTASY LAND!!!1 cultures -- FRENCH IN FANTASY LAND, LITHUANIANS IN FANTASY LAND, JEWS IN FANTASY LAND, SWEDES IN FANTASY LAND, or anything like that. They're inspired by a number of different cultures to help keep them varied and interesting. So no. This would be awful.

Shrek has a Scottish accent.

Why should an Orc sound like a 90lb japanese man? Why?

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 6:10 am

They should sound like people talking with their mouth full of dry bread and should make a lot of pig squeals and grunts.

if anything native American accent
your idea is like giving nords a Hispanic accent
or an Argonian a french accent

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 10:27 am

It would sound weird... It's a me! Mario! ... What, it's a japanese that made him...

It would also sound bad, if the game was translated in France, with theire accent...

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:12 am

No way, José?
What the...

Orcs aren't samurais.
