Japanese accent
English speaking Orcs
...
With a Japanese accent.

Nope, that's not racist sounding at all.

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


As long if the french comes from Quebec, it's ok... Well I would prefer on the Nords(the race I play...) but since I always play in english, because it's the original cast, am gona stay aith english.

You have not thought this through. Here's why.

If the Nords sounded scandinavian you would have two possible outcomes:

1. They speak english but in a heavy scandinavian accent. That would sound absolutely awful, it would be ridiculed by every scandinavian player I can assure you fo that, Norwegian people speaking bad english sounds beyond ridiculous, trust me.
2. They would speak Norwegian, Swedish or Danish (Altthough Norwegian would be most likely I think and also fit best, call me biased, that's my opinion.) and thus either the subtitles wouldn't match or the vast majority of players wouldn't have a damn clue what was being said.

Either option is bad. Nords are based on Scandinavian culture yes, but they are not Norwegian, not Swedish and not Danish. They are Nords.

The same applies to Orcs.

Imperials by the way are heavily based on Roman culture, would you prefer that they all speak italian?


Nynorsk under tvil, men tror islandsk ligger n?rmest ...

In case of option number 2 I think icelandic would fit a Nord best.

Edit: Thinking of this I think an icelandic accent of english could sound pretty bad ass if you got the right people to do it.

Oh lets just stuff a whole culture into a race so its the same freaking culture in a fantasy setting!!!!! GREAT IDEA!!!!!!

How about we take a mix of culture traits and mix them into one race so that they seem different and exotic and something not from our universe instead of copy and pasting one culture into one race?

NO THANK YOU.

MIX IT UP.

I don't think so.

And yes, I realise that was probably exaggerated.

No, they have Japanese inspired armor but that doesn't mean anything about their accents. Most every other race just has a standard American accent, no reason to go all crazy on a single race.

Seeing as the Ocs culture and weapons armours and honour is Based on the Japanese Samurai's i thinkt the orcs should be given a deep japanese accent for skyrim1

Ok, but let's have the Nords sound like the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbs64GvGgPU. There will be cooking in Skyrim, right? :biggrin:
