 Ferelden while heavily being Saxon.Is partially inspired by irish culture and history
Morrigan and Flemeth being Irish names, Mobari playing a similar role that Irish wolfhounds played
highever being based on ireland and scotland, was a bit dissapointed there wasn't any Irish accents in highever i know its a game and they could put a jamaican accent on a white ferelden if they wanted.

I think it would be interesting for a Highever companion in Dragon Age 3 with an Irish accent and sense of Humour. 

That guy who played Atlas from Bioshock would be Brilliant!.

I would not mind one way or the other. I would loce for the main character to have a Scotiah accent however. That would be boss!

I grew up partially in Ireland, and i think the accent is brilliant for a fantasy game. Well there are many Irish accents but the Dublin accent would suit the best for a character with a good sense of humor. I have the same accent as Sebastian.

Thats so... awesome. 

If Starkhaveners have Scottish accents, there's no reason why other Freemarches city-states can't have Irish accents. Maybe Tantervale? I'd love that!

And more Starkhaven FTW.

No. Never. Because after hearing the supposed 'Irish' accents they used for the Dalish in DA2 I just could not take them seriously. Actors trying to imitate an Irish accent almost always overdo it horribly, and it would ruin my immersion to have to spend a whole game listening to that rubbish.

Dragon Age is built to use accents to tell you quite a bit about where someone is from. It's unfortunate they were unable to complete their original plan to give all the dwarves German accents. Imagine Bhelen voiced by Jurgen Prochnow.

Irish is already taken.

This is an age where we get actual Norwegian actors to play Norwegians in American films and not some American pretending to be Norwegian.

If they decide to use an accent that is identical to a real-world accent, they should get someone that natively speaks with that accent, IMHO. As they say, there's substitute for fire.

(Then again, this is an age where we get Swedish and Finnish models to play Canadians. #worldUpsideDown)

'Irish' accents they used for the Dalish

I definitely remember Dalish with welsh accents...

Was there a mix of the two? It's been ages since i played, i honestly can't remember... But there were definitely welsh accents in there.

Merril had a Welsh accent, because her VA Eve Myles is Welsh. All the other Dalish Elves had overdone Irish accents.

Only 1 or two and merril the majority of the accents were Northern irish and Stereotypical Southern Irish accents.

Thats why they should Hire actual irish people, the guy who voiced atlas was Irish not an American putting the accent on and he did a brilliant job.

Point. Unfortunately, the likelihood of them hiring an Irish VA is extremely low, otherwise they would have hired one for the DA2 elves.

Well some of the elve's where voiced by actual Irish i could tell by the way they pronouced the words, the Northern ones are defiantly real!. But if they can make the effort to hire english actors and do their Voice acting in London which i think is were they do it for the English accents. They can defiantly hire more Scots and Irish and Welsh voice actors as they all over England.

There's plenty of Irish people in London, where Side UK (where they do their British VA recording...) is based. Why not get actual Irish people in a city full of them?

The Dwarve's where meant to have German accents? didn't remember that. Would have been cool.
I'm not agains the American Accent. But is really dosen't fit the Fantasy genre, as Americans besides the Natives are only a recent people in terms of history their accent is grand for Sci fi but not fantasy. The only accents i can see working in fantasy, are European and Asian ,Middle east and African. 

The rest like Australian,new zealand,Canadian ,latin american Us , just dosen't suite in my opinion. But back to the point german dwarves would be awesome! they could have a Dwarf Oktoberfest.

Bioware even has a studio in ireland, but they only use it for Marketing, loads of Irish especially my friends there love video games and the Irish mind is very creative they should make it a full fledge studio. The Irish are brilliant in the CGI and graphics department too. The main guy who did the Avatar graphics was Irish.

[Eire Icon]

Yes, but............. and this is a big but, if he ever says "Top of the morning to you" that game will be dead to me

[beaverskenneth]

I wouldn't count on the new hero having any accent other than a french one, since BioWare confirmed that it would take place in Orlais. I suppose we will have to wait and see, though.

[1Nosphorus1]

As long as they don't try selling me their caravan/dag or fighting me for my watch, I'm game with some real Irish actors portraying the Dalish.

(Snatch film reference btw, not casual gypsy hatred)

[CuriousArtemis]

Don't really care? So long as the VA is good. Accent doesn't really matter. If the VA's accent doesn't fit the character's origins, then origins should be tweaked so that the accent makes sense (elf raised in the city, etc.)

[Scarlet Rabbi]

....why not?

[LolaLei]

Sure, I'd be up for that.

Cassandra's accent sounded EXACTLY like my high school foreign exchange student's who was from southern Germany. So maybe we'll have more German-ish sounding Nevarrans?

That or my ears are broke. You know, whichever.
