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

No comment.

Hmm, chances of this sounding horribly racist and absolutely ridiculous are so high I'm just going to say no right now.

"Deep Japanese accent" doesn't really seem right in my mind. Can't think of a single actor/actress who had a deep voice.

What i mean by deep, is the deep orc accent which in oblivion was so annoying.
they could get a bunch of japanese americans to voice them.

I'll pass...

sixy japanese accent is just for Kasumi in ME2.

No way, Jose.

Or provide an example, because an Orc with a Japanese accent just seems inappropriate in my head.

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.

I just can't picture a big burley orc speaking with a japanese accent, so I'm gonna have to vote no on this one.

I can see your connection, but I don't really think that will work.

I really can't imagine orcs speaking with Japanese accents, even though their armor in Morrowind did have a bit of a Samurai theme to it, though not so much in Oblivion, they just don't strike me as very "Japanese".

I'd say Bethesda should go for something along the lines of Morrowind for orc voices, because in Oblivion, their voices were the same as Nords, and therefore didn't fit them as well as they could have.

Well i think its kinda stupid basing a race and culture of the Japanese being irish myself and knowing many japanese girls,that they woundn;t give that culture a Japanese accent is stupid,like the nords don't sound scandanavian at all..

This ftw, multiplied times two, forever and ever.

Hell no.

Well what accent do you think they should have?

They shouldn't have one.

They don't need accents. Just get a voice actor to act for Male orcs, and another for Female orcs.

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?

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

Yea.. Nooo... Orc's are Orc's. So they should have Orc accents. What your pretty much saying is that if a culture uses an idea from another they should sound the same which does not make sense. I mean look at America, we are a mutt of a country (taking ideas from here and there) but the typical American does not sound like our let's say.. British "ancestors" (I am not Caucasian but you get the point).

*edit* had to clarify i wasnt being mean

ANIME plague? People are associating Japan or anything Japanese with Orcs, plagues, and meaning anything Japanese is directly linked to Anime, now? :shakehead:


Anyway, I place my vote towards no. Plus, in Oblivion, at least, their armor seemed more Mongolian in style, to me, but that's just me... basically leaving me with the impression of a feudal Japanese samurai look in Morrowind and a Mongolian look in Oblivion. :shrug:

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

I would prefer Bethesda to stop to imitize historical armours and instead leave the artists make some more scenic and cool ones , ok with the empire now but enough , lets make some True Orcish cool armours ...

I rather they have deep Mongolian accents like the race they were base off of.

EDIT: Also Beth if you reading this stop basing races off of different cultures.

Also if they all sounded like him they would also have to have his sense of hair style.
