Not sure if you guys seen this before, i would be like *** if this happened. Talk about plot twist 
Hah, that would be weird.
Hmmm, the artist's protrayal of Garrus is that what he'd look like if one of his parents was a Salarian, or if he ended up in the Star Trek universe with a Salarian and before he was sent back got accidentally melded with said Salarian (a la Tuvix in Voyager) in a transporter accident before being sent back to the ME 'verse?

You look very Qui'n today!
(No seriously, irish and Lorik seems to fit together extremely well for me).
Come to think of it, it does sound a little bit like an Irish Gaeilc name. God I really want more turians with selective accents, an Irish Turian, a British Turian, an Australian Turian. God that would be brilliant.
There seems to be very few charcters in mass effect that aren't american, it's kind of weird. There was one (terribly voiced) frenchman in the colonist mission, and then there's miranda who I think is Australian. I don't think there's a single british character in the game, (apart for big ben sniper) nor are there any asian characters, and there's more Asians than there are Americans on the planet!
Other than that I can't think of any others off the top of my head. Even the Aliens are American... I want ethnic turians...
The actor who voices Turian Councillor/Councillor Velarn is Scottish, I think Velarn sounds less American. Dr Chakwas and Zaaed (and their actors) are Brits.
Yeah, Miranda's Australian, it's Yvonne's normal accent. Someone mentioned buying ME2 because Yvonne was in it (he was a fan of Chuck) and wondered what was up with 'that horrible accent' and he later saw an interview with her on YT and realised it was her normal voice.

That being said, there are several ME characters with accents: Chloe Michel on the Citadel has a French accent, Yaroslev Tartakovsky (although they misspelled his first name) on Noveria has a Russian one, Samesh Bhatia on the Citadel has a Hindu or Pakistani one, Kasumi has a Japanese one. And if we're looking for varieties of English accents, then there's Miranda's Australian, as has been mentioned, and Donovan Hock's South African. I'm sure there are other examples, but those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Sorry, but Kasumi's accent is definately not Japanese, her VA is Asian-American, Kasumi's accent is more neutral than anything.

Yes, but even then, there isn't a default american accent, yet there are other variations of american accents in the games, for example, Li on Noveria has a boston accent (I think). That's fairly differant from what is considered to be the typical American accent. I wouldn't say that that's something you can simply put down to futuristic technology, considering of all the possible variations a translator could pick, a boston accent seems kind of odd. Li's is the most distinctive one, but there are still aliens in the game that have accents that are far from the normal, monotone american accent. Lorik Qui'in for example, or Nihlus. Why would their accent not simply be the tone the translator is programmed to produce?
Also, I'm not saying it has make sense, the game's filled with pseudo-science already. I just think the appearence of an Australian or an Irish Turian would bloody amazing. That's all.
People mentioned Li having a Brooklyn accent, I'm going to have to wait until I replay Noveria again on my second playthrough to confirm for myself though.
Yes, I want ethnic Turians too.
