South Africa Republic does not have English as its official language.

EDIT: Forgot to add "major".

I think it's Emery too. Only thing is, does that mean everyone in Tevinter also sounds South African?

I love Balthier. I will never recognize Vaan as the "main" character. There's only one leading man in my mind...

EDIT: Wow... the video is suddenly below this post.

Also, Gideon did minor characters for DA:O and the ME series, but has never been a major character in any of the BioWare games. That could perhaps be what David meant?

maybe.

here's a sample of his work on ff12 (balthier)

Actually we have 11. English being one of them.

So is this officially the Gideon Emery fan thread now? lol



I never heard of the guy before it was brought up here, but count me in.

[Russalka]

Yep, edited. I just meant it has many more languages than it to be a distinctively English country.

[RosaAquafire]

Haha, nightcobra just linked my favourite cutscene from my favourite game.

Anyway, IF Emery is playing Fenris, it's going to be a very different performance from what we saw in FF12, I'd think. If it's him, I'm looking forward to hearing what he does with Fenris, especially in the angry Fenris bits.

[Falandra]

He... He really fits the description. Oh my, it it is really him, that means you were able to guess it from a four word line, barely hearable...! :happy:

[Irkalla]

You guys are amazing, it does sound like this could be our guy.

It's going to be really embarrassing if we're wrong.

But think of how epic it's going to be if we're right!

Question is.. when will we find out.
David is evil enough to tell the marketing department not to add any Fenris conversations in new trailers. He will probably tell us Fenris' VA one day before the game comes out. ;p

I know! Stay positive, stay positive...

Urgh. David hasn't fallen for my, "I'll eat my shoe" bait.

[Russalka]

I think the marketing department is independent in that.

Guys, Gideon Emery has a British accent. It's not impossible that's the accent Gaider was talking about, but he said that it was distinctive (and natural), so I imagine that means he's not British, since that's not a distinctive accent. Nor, in terms of DA, what we'd even call an accent.

I do not hear any merging in his accent to Afrikaners. Maybe me ear just isn't as discerning, but I just wouldn't want to get too attached to one actor.

Anyhow, before you think that I'm a meanie partypooper, here's his Twitter. Go ask in droves. If he's not the actor, he won't mind telling you. And, who knows, do it quickly enough and you can trick him into telling you. Actors usually give things away.

I'd just like to point out that Afrikaner accents are not the only accents in South Africa. If Gideon Emery has a slight South African twinge in his English accent it's more of an English South African accent.



Wow, that sounded a lot less complicated in my head.

Dammit, why is my twitter account privacy locked.

I know. But I'm saying I don't hear anything but a British accent. It's possible that he just puts one on for the most part, and will be using his regular voice for Fenris.

If you all were manipulative like me, you'd say things like "I hear you're voicing a major character for Dragon Age II" or "It's great that you're Fenris in Dragon Age II" really fast before he's warned. If you bombard him with these questions/"congratulations", you might get an answer.

I disagree. There is a difference. British English has different vowel inflections and you can really hear it especially in that video above. Watch District 9 and you can definitely hear it. Compare him to Daniel Craig or Colin Firth. It's like saying all Americans sound the same, which we all know is false.

I think we should insist on Mike playing with Fenris on Friday. Ser Gaider is mean and probably won't give us the bone we are after, but Mike can't resist puppy eyes and crying fangirls >8D

I will never take advice from this forums on what accents are real or not. Sorry. To my ears, I'm not picking up an accent discernable from an English one. Certainly not enough for Gaider to mention there's one at all.
