As an Irishman with many Nigerian friends. i can safely say it very much sounds Nigerian.

And as a Nigerian, I'm inclined to agree with you - in some places. Other places he just sounds off-the-walls wrong. His pronunciation also isn't always consistent. Don't know what to make of it except "invented accent."

The voice could have been done by a person of nigerian descent  living in places like the Uk, which may be why it sounds of the wall.

Doesn't she has Indian accent?

[What a Succulent Ass]

That's what I'm expecting. I grew up in the UK myself (father's Nigerian, mother is Chinese/Portuguese, but lived in Nigeria a significant time), so even when I do the Ninth Mile impressions, most family can immediately hear it's "off" somehow...which all lends credence to Android's theory that it's Adewalé.

But who knows?

Since it has been suggested in this thread that the VA may be Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who is a British born actor of Nigerian descent, this all makes sense to me.

EDIT: I see you just made reference to this, Random. Definitely makes the case for him.

I think it's great; it isn't at all what you'd expect from a prothean, but maybe that is the point. This isn't some regal Scientist or scholar, this guy was born in the midst of the apocalypse. And Just think of how you would act if you were the last human, 50,000 years out of your time, and surrounded by strange aliens everywhere you go.
As for the voice itself, I think it works fine. A friend of mine of mixed Nigerian/Zulu/English descent thinks it sound like some of his Nigerian relatives.

I think that guy confirmed he had nothing to do with ME3, yesterday.

Tell me this is a joke. He sounds like a rasta guy from Jamaica. Next thing we know, he will be running with a jamb in his mouth through the game.

 

Bigotry is amazing... and makes me wish it was criminal.

This voice will take some getting used to, but I'm leaning towards I like it. Very different! Props, BioWare, on that choice.

One more time, Liz Sroka herself said the accent is supposed to be an unidentified Eastern European Gypsy. Perhaps Romanian.

Can you point us to that?

So which quote would you all prefer?
"Because humans are all different, but Krogan are all exactly alike."
Or the classic:
"You humans are all racsist"?

[CommanderCoffee]

If he melds with Garrus well, he's in my squad for good.

[vkt62]

Just him showing up at the citadel council should be enough to convince them of the reapers

Someone posted his Twitter post on Prothy thread on Characters and Romances forum section.

Too lazy to find it myself right now.

You kinda get them convinced on Reaper existence after you get to Citadel, which is right after Earth and Mars missions.

You can only get Prothy after you talk with the Council about it and by that time they believe in Reaper invasion.

Can't it be both?

I would have thought that was obvious. English or American English is the neutral form of Earths dominant language. Likely in a far distant future with centuries of cultural exchange, dialects, accents and even whole languages would disappear or at least be greatly diminished - a bit in the same manner American English dialects vary less than the original English ones. Aliens would naturally choose to learn the dominant human language in it's neutral form. Giving an alien an accent endemic to a specific regional part of Earth is therefore doubly detrimental to immersion.

I thought this was sarcasm at first, but now I'm not so sure.

If that was serious, then the dominant language would have been chinese, not english, being as chinese is the most commonly spoken language on the planet, followed by english, spanish and french.

I think there is a misunderstanding here. I believe Seraphael may have been hinting at lingua franca, sometimes called a "trade tongue". In the past, it's varied. But currently, it's English.

As for Prothy's voice, I don't much care for it. I would have liked  the accent to be a little less extreme (but still there), and with a deeper, more imposing voice.

And for the knee-jerk types in this thread, if you think my preference is "racist", you really need to get a life and grow the f*ck up.

[Comm1Shepard]

I like his voice by the way. Cannot wait to see the faces  on the council when he walks into Citadel=]

Well this has cheered me up.

[Johnny Nocturnal]

Unless you find this Prothean hiding out in Africa somewhere, the accent completely ruins it for me.  It's such a distinguishing and EARTHLY accent, that it's an immersion breaker. 

Was really hoping he'd sound like vigil.  I'm pretty disappointed, but I'll get over it.

[DarkWilSin666]

hopefully that is a joke. that is the worst WORST voice over for a awesome race protheans. bioware i hope you were not inoctrinated by EA...cause WOW!...i hope this is not true. but then again they put jessica chobot in the game.
