Free Marcher.... yay for independence/nobody knows what they're doing.

Free Marchers= Canadians

Don't the Free Marches include all of North America? I thought they lumped us together because of the individual state rule and sense of independence or whatever.

Do you find it strange playing games like Dragon Age with all the varying English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh accents in it? When I play games like Mass Effect I don't even notice that the accents are American and then they put an English character in and I'm like "wow, do we really sound that posh and well spoken?!"

You know, I was going to ask you the same thing. How are the Dalish/Welsh accents? Are they pretty accurate? I'm pretty sure most if not all of the Orlesian accents are faaaake.

Playing DA is different because the dwarves, Free Marchers, and some Fereldans sound American, so you get used to hearing them mixed together. It's more obvious on someone like Goldanna who was a pretty harsh Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady (is that cockney?) accent.

In Mass Effect... oh golly. Most of them are Canadian and that's just a big ol' distraction.

Mass Effect actors are mostly Canadian?! LOL I had no idea! Goldanna's voice is what we call a "mockney" (mock cockney accent) the Dalish accents are a mix of Welsh (Merrill) and Irish which is really odd to listen to. Some of the actors are definitely American's doing English accents which is always fun! I think Seb's voice was a genuine Scottish accent, if not then it was bloody convincing.

I love all the funny insults they come up with in Dragon Age like "Andraste's tight panty girdles" and stuff like that because those are the sort of silly insults English people say but it's done in keeping with the DA lore, if that makes sense?

Most of the Orlesian accents are fake, I'm not sure about Leliana's though.

Does anyone else think "Lady Hawke" sounds like a pubic hairstyle? Like, the Brazilian, the landing strip, the German wax... Lady Hawke. :-S

[brushyourteeth]

I was positive that Sebastian's was real too, until I realized he also voices Seneschal Bran (yuuuuuuck), and then I became uncertain.

The Canadians... ugh. I mean I love Canada, okay? But it's just a real moment wrecker to hear Commander Shepard suddenly say "What can we do aboot it?"

Maybe they're not airing it in the U.K. but this season of America's Next Top Model has half of the girls competing from the U.K. and they are destroying us!

LadyHawke killed me sometimes. "Pawprints!" haha

LOL, I thought she pronounced it like everyone did? Do English people say it differently or something? I'd never noticed.

bahahahah! You mean like your avatar's headdress?

LadyHawke always makes me think of the movie. Or did. Until just now.

Seb's VA does Seneschal Bran's voice too? I never knew that! I'll have to check who the VA is! Commander Shepard said "aboot" ??? I never noticed that either! Was it male or female Shepard?

[LolaLei]

Oh apparently Seb's voice actor isn't Scottish. He done a really good Scottish accent, I was totally convinced!

You guys are bad...

When you activate your bed back at the Hawke estate and LH says something like "Pawprints! I told that dog to stay off the bed!" she does this crazy Maggie Smith-esque voice thing where she goes up real high on "paw" and then her voice breaks. My husband and I do it all the time at home.

... so I guess, no. that's not normal in the U.S. Just at my house.

What really?! I thought for sure he was scottish and faking the other accents he does

They could have just hired an actual Scottish VA.

LOL! I'm gonna have to check this!

[brushyourteeth]

haha. go boot up the game and check it right now!
As for the Canadian accents... ManShep's the worst about it, but other VA's do it too. Kaidan's actually supposed to be Canadian and he barely shows it. But yes... aboot. Oh my gosh, so much aboot.

If you listen to Bailey his is the strongest.

[LolaLei]

brushyourteeth: You're right! She does go really high pitched! Gah, I hate her voice, she's so bloody posh it's irritating! It's like someone wiped **** under her nose of something... sodding toff.

Jasmine96: from 7:43 onwards

I swear I hear Sebastians voice everywhere and thrasks!

I hear Greg Ellis' voice everywhere, but he does so many minor NPC's in games so I'm like "Cullen?" every time I play a game lol! Not that I'm complaining!

Is Kaidan's actor actually Canadian? I didn't know male Shep's VA was Canadian either LOL. Man, I suck with this whole accent thing. Sometimes I can't even tell the difference between Austrialian and English!

Jasmine96: He's pretty good at changing his voice and stuff but you can always tell it's him by the way he pronounces things.

[brushyourteeth]

aw, I love LadyHawke's voice. But I'm glad you know I'm not crazy - pawprints. Gets me every time.

Greg Ellis is all over Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. It's come close to spoiling him for me, because he usually seems to voice idiots. But only almost. I still love Cullen.

Lol yeah he does play some interesting characters! Though until recently I didn't know he done the voice of Johnson in Shadows of the Damned. In case you haven't seen it, here it is again!:
