I DO! Having Polish, Russian, Slovakian, Slovenian, Serbian, Croatian or even Greek party member in Shepard's team would be one of the best thing happened to him. Think about it, in ME1 and ME2 there were almost no Europeans as NPCs, why should it be like that in the last part of this awesome trilogy? Of course I'm more talking about Eastern and Southern Europe, as Western is a common one. Please BioWare, do something about it!

I don't mind to be honest either way, but I believe the same famous 12 are going to be there, with the possible addition of wRex and your virmire survivor eventually... enough team members as is, I just hope you get to keep Kasumi and Zwaeed, I like them as squadmates, and at the very least I want to keep Kasumi. She is extremely useful in my combat tactics.

Me too as well! It's kind of annoying to keep hearing American accents throughout games in general. I think a Dutch character could be rather entertaining?

Well got to remember that the country of orgin it's being made in. =P A french game studio will have more french sounding then english etc etc. A british game will have more british sounding people. Of course nothing of this is concrete and there is always exceptions.

They're in Canada. Plenty of people here with accent from every corner of the world. They even have an office in Montreal, so a quebec/french accent should be hard to comeby.

Please don't make any heavily accented characters. I've already got professors with accents that are torturous to listen to. I want my games to be fun, not frustrating.

Kenneth Donnelly not good enough?

I loved the Scottish engineer!



While I get what you're saying , I'd rather they didn't stick in random stereotypical characters just to seem "balanced". They've got the team now we need the target , don't want it complicated.

if I remember correctly there were plenty of European accents in Mass effect 1 on the Noveria mission, heard a few British accents, some eastern European accents.. well one eastern European accent. In mass effect 2 there are a few European accents namely Zaeed's London accent and in the Kasumi DLC I'm pretty sure I heard an Asari with a British accent, perhaps I'm mistaken but regardless it just didn't seem right heh heh

Miranda had an Australian accent and there was a guy down on the bottom of the ship that spoke with a Scottish accent. Zaeed sounds like he has some sort of accent (other than American). Seems like the only ones that don't have accents are Jake, Jack and Shepard (just in ME2 anyways). The rest are all aliens so you can't exactly expect the translators to translate in different accents.

I want to see more blended races. I would think that straight up caucasians would be a minority. 1 billion Chinese in the world today with 6 billion making up the rest of the population makes me wonder why there are so many white folks running around.

Being Dutch, I can tell you that's the last thing you'd want; we're terrible with guns. You want an American, they like shooting stuff. If you can't get one of those I'd reckomend a Russion; just point to the nearest Reaper, say  "He instulted Mother Russia" and sit back as stuff gets blown up.

More scottish and Irish voices is needed!

I agree.  BW, go hire Tommy Flannigan for some voice work for ME3.  This would make boy's dream come true.

Actually, use him as one of the character models too.  He has a great look to him.

South African.

And, uh, you guys are all forgetting Zaeed. Hello?!

Accents don't really jive with the lore very well. If anything, all accents should be homogenized.



In ME: Revelation (the first novel) we find out that Captain Anderson was born and raised in London, England. Tell me, does Keith David's voice sound British? No? That's because we also found out in the first novel that a lot of humans are educated via inter/extra-net and that speech patterns have homogenized.



Forget the fact that the translation software that Shepard uses (and what we supposedly hear according to the Bring Down the Sky Codex entries) should standardize all speech into pretty standard sounding voices.



Accents shouldn't matter. According to the lore, we don't hear the NPC's actual voices anyway.

Strictly speaking, you're absolutely right, but if you really want to get down to it, even if we assume that the translating devices just translate everything to Standard American, that language will have changed a whole lot 170 years from now. In 2185, nobody will talk like that anymore than we talk like it's 1840 now.

Head on over to the Flotilla for some eastern European accents.

Actually the way every damn Quarian seems to speak with a different "exotic" accent annoys me to no end. It makes no sense.

or Admiral Anderson. Hes from London.

[Sigma Tauri]

Wait, you want Russians that don't die after talking to them, right? Because I'm just thinking Mr. Tartakovsky.

Silly OP, Europeans aren't part of the galactic community.
