but i'm a human though, and thus I have my own gripes. One of which is the voiceover. I don't know whether I'm talking to a Nord, a Breton, or an Imperial.

Back in Morrowind, every NPC felt different. Dunmer sounds grumpish, Bosmer sounds mischievous, Khajiit and Argonians sound exotic, Redguard sounds black (sorry for the lack of a better term), Imperial sounds American (LOL), Breton sounds frail English guys, and Altmer sounds snobbish English guys.
Right now I can't see the difference.
