Different accents for each race

Post » Sat Jun 11, 2011 7:55 pm

In the real world people from various parts of the world have their own accents. English accents and american accents for example. I think it would feel more realistic if each race had their own accent. I don't mean some hilarious accent that you can't take seriously, or one that is annoying, just a subtle one for each race that distinguishes them from the other races. I know that its too late if they haven't already done it, but with 70 voice actors I think they could have.

Thoughts?

They'd need about 240 voice actors for accents to actually work good.

Never mind. You're talking about different races having different voices, right? They already do. They also had different voices in Oblivion (other than Dark Elves).

I think it would be a good idea. Bretons should have a variation on an English accent. Dunmer should be raspy fellows. High Elves should talk like Legolas. Bosmer should keep their mouths shut all together.

As far as accents go, that makes sense if they aren't all living in Skyrim, which they are. Some could sound more unique I guess if they are travelling from distant lands...

But yes, with 70 voice actors compared to 14 in Oblivion, it would be a travesty to NOT have each race have their own voice actor. No more Nord/Orc, and one elf voice for Altmer/Bosmer/Dunmer... That was terrible.

I wish the khajiit would speak their native language.
