hang on the byzanthine empire,was the eastern roman empire im european and i know for a fact the tevinters should have middle east accents as much of their empie was situated,around that ara,russians have nothing to do with, the byzanthine empire so adding that would be silly and are all of you forgetting the byzanthine empire orginated from the roman empire so they woud have italian accents not greek unless recuited locally.


First of all Italian features and language we know to come from after the fall of Rome when the sackings and Germanic barbarians start intertwining with the Latin Romans. It would be proper to have Greek accents as most of the people in east spoke Greek not Latin. I see people's arguments for a Russian accent instead because of the Russians being themselves a Greek Orthodox base. Further after the fall of Western Rome you have a more continuation of a more Greco culture. I wouldn't say having a middle eastern accent would be correct just because most of it was in the eastern part of the Mediterranean as I believe Bioware is drawing more inspiration from the European side of the Byzantine Empire and using the Qunari for their Turkish qualities.

I guess russian. As Tevinter Imperium is evil, then it is natural as russians are the main villains in majority of computer games, movies etc.

But they may be reserved for others, as Riordan told Warden that there are citadel with over 1000 Grey Wardens in a frozen lands at far north.

God, what an awful thread - I hope they won't use any controversial accents just because some idiots WILL definitely use it to make moronic comparacments and insult other people.

What, pray tell, is a "controversial accent"?  :huh:

Accents that are usually used in offensive and stereotypical manner - Like Russian for "villians" and scary guys. Middle-Eastern for anything  religious-menacing (I mean I am pretty much sure that Mr. Gaider curses the day he called the Qunari  “Militant Isamic Borg” because it keeps  coming out in all of this “Qunari threaten  all the Thedas” threads.
I am not happy with Orlisian-French too but the associated “frenchy” stereotypes are at least bearable.  Oh, and half of them are fake anyway :P

I see.  Thank you!  Let's hope they manage to avoid Jar-Jar-level stereotyping, at the least.  ;)

Don't speak it, it corrupts you. Like the darkspawn taint, just less subtle.

Goddamn that's accent! Used in computer games to show similarities with some ethnic group fictional nations are based on. Nothing more. We got French, because they got one of the most powerful knights during medieval ages=> they invaded Ferelden and were feared for their powerful chevaliers. That's just accents!

Only if they talk amongst themselves like Mario and Luigi from the RPGs.

Also, they're opressive sexist pigs while the Fereldans are a plucky nation of people doing whats "right".

Edit: They being the Orlesian.

Was I the only one who heard all the Tevinter slavers speak with thick English accents?



Maker, I thought Caladrius was going to offer me tea.

Subtle like rødgrød med fløde.
Almost indistinguishable from the Black Speech of Mordor.
