Am I the only one that thinks French accents are sexy?

True. I should have specified that I find Quebecois hard to understand. Although I've been to France and had a difficult time following it there as well.

Oh please don't remind me. I have been in Quebec for 2 years and my French has been ravaged 
I used to have the perfect Parisian accent...

Qunari seem more like reverse-native-americans.
Reverse in that they got on their boats and invaded us first.

Except for the whole "hating magic" bit. Almost every Native American tribe was intensely spiritual... in fact, the Qunari are the ones with the vastly superior technology because of it.

The whole idea of requiring to be stoic, never losing your blade, strict warrior society based around honor seems more in tune with Samurai ideals.

That depends on what native americans you talk about.
The nations of south america such as the Inca and Aztec were steeped in occult, "magical" rituals, human sacrifice, etc.
Granted there is a bit of medieval Japanese in the Qunari too.

True, but the Qunari are the ones with cannons. They do fit the mysterious stoic warrior stereotype though.

I want to see what's at the bottom of the map ... unexplored region ...

[KillSALGo]

I love french accents. I saw this world map or something of the countries around Ferelden but can't seem to find the link for it.... anyone?

[blauregen]

If they are like Leliana I would be happy there. We only really got into talking fashion and men when I got close with Zev. Before that it was always Andraste and Maker.

And I guess in Orlais we could at least shop for shoes.

Tah-dah. http://dragonage.wik...e:ThedasMap.jpg

[Valfreyja]

Isn't there a map with better quality somewhere?

[Mr.Skar]

I wouldn't have a problem with playing in Orlais. Possibly because I want to see more of Thedas (in game) then we have been shown already. So count me in if we head on over, the accents don't bug me.

[hexaligned]

I'd much prefer Tvinter, or somewhere else we havn't seen yet. Orlais never intrested me much.

I wonder how the British people feel about all the stereotypical brit-speak and over-the-top accenting in most Western fantasy games.

Well, I hated Oren from the moment he opened his gob.

And I'm glad he's dead, ha!

[CecilCourage]

the game is called dragon age. I expect a tvinter/dragonkin invasion to swallow up much of the continent at some point.

I wouldn't mind dealing with more Orlesians, or visting Orlais. But no I wouldn't like it if it were all set there. Not because of the accent really. But because I want to see the consequences of our actions on Ferelden.

This and to hunt down Morrigan

[cheesemage]

So why do we think it is going to be in Orlais? Anything beyond all the Grey Wardens in the Calling being from Orlais, and the possibility of Morrigan ending up in the court of Orlais?

[SilkyChicken]

I absolutely LOVED the dwarf accents. The (Canadian-ish) accent really forced me to take a second look at them. I applaud whoever came up with that creative decision.



Also, Master Ignacio has a wonderfully done accent. Boo to Marjolaine though.

[Rm80]

In my opinion Leliana has the best voice in the entire game, so a whole land with Leliana voices seems like something I can more then live with.



I hope that a second Dragon age game, some expansion or even dlc would take place in Orlais or Antiva (a land with the crows would be quite cool as well)

[RafaelKOz]

I would be shocked (shocked!) if the focus of DA2 isn't in Tevinter, but they might just take the opportunity to side-trip around a bit (since Tevinter is more central, and the world is already established to some extent) and let us see Val Royeaux and the Qunari front and the fortress at Weisshaupt.

I do think, incidentally, that "hours and hours on end of Orlesian accents" is absolutely one of the reasons they wouldn't base it in Orlais.  I love Leliana but wall to wall Orlesians will get annoying after a while.

to be honest. as long as the accents arent fake (WTF IS UP WITH LELIANA?) it will be fine.

Leliana's okay, though she can't seem to decide what accent she has, mish-mashing it all into generic european.



Marjolaine's on the other hand... yuck.

[Buddhess75]

leliana's accent is fine, it would be no prob to have all the npcs in orlais with a similar accent...but majorlaine and anora's servant would be annoying to no end after some time...



but..gief tevinter and nevarra :<

[code2501]

I'd prefer to see something based around Rivain/Tevinter personally, but thats cause Rivain is barely touched lore wise, it has a diversity of cultures, borders the powerfull and sinister Imperium, and is half occupied by the Qunari.

Sounds like a good setting for adventure to me.

[Mummolus]

Isolde is by far the most annoying character in the game - I can't mash the 'skip' button fast enough when she's talking. The other Orlesians seem to be similarly obnoxious, with the exception of Leliana most likely because she was born in Ferelden and has been living in Ferelden.



I'd really love the sequel to be in Tevinter.

[Aldandil]

I'd be fine with the French accents, and as many people already have said, Leliana's accent is great, other Orlesians' accents feel a bit over the top at times. However, I'd be happy to see the habit of adding tag questions all the time go out the door, such as ending each sentence with a "yes?" or "no?". Real French people don't do that, do they? Is this an Orlesian habit?

Er... it depends on the faux. If they're all like Anora's elf-servant-thing, then no. I couldn't ****ing stand it.
But if most of the accents are on par with Leliana's, then yeah, I don't think I'd mind -much-. It'd still be a lot of french accents in one place...

Actually, both are real french accents.
The servant one is just much stronger, while Leli's one is softer.

I
find some French accents to be lovely.  Fakes ones can be really
grating on the ears though.  I'm surprised I didn't here more Quebecois
sounding people since Bioware's in Canada, but there weren't THAT many
Orlesians in the game I guess.

The Quebec accent is very, very different from the french one.


And yes, I could totally play in Orlais. I look forward to it, even. I just hope we would be able to take the point of view of Orlaisians and not just have them as the big bad enemy.
