So I guess, she must have grown up in Ferelden not in Orlais, even though she has an Orlesian name.

Speulations!

Many players dislike French accents. I'm guessing that since we will be in Orlais and listening to them for hours on end with other NPCs, they decided to keep the amount of PC and companions voices with them.

If the BSN is anything to go off of, at least.

It could always be a placeholder.

However, did anyone else find she sounded suspiciously like Traynor? Because I had dibs on Alix Wilton Regan for Femquisitor.

I don't think its uncommon for mages to be sent to circles away from their homeland. Rhys was a Ferelden guy in the Orlesian circle.

I remember encountering some mages with accents in DA2 as well in circle related missions but I can't recall any specifics after that.

But when having a different accent contradicts logic (namely that to be in a position to become the Orlesian First Enchanter you would have lied in the Orlesian circle for a good amount of time, probably even having grown up in it) I don't really think it's right to stick a more familiar accent on a character just to appease fans. It's part of her backstory surely, just like with Leliana.

Didn't find him all that posh myself. English though.

Is it just me but she sounds like Samantha Traynor... Highly possible since she was briefly in Awakening as Mhari... ;P

[ManchesterUnitedFan1]

I can't remember for sure, but I think Vivienne was even described as 'Orlesian', either by the devs or in the gameinformer articles.

Plus the name just sounds too Orlesian for me to believe she's from Ferelden.

True i didn't mean that to sound like it was a contradiction I was just mentioning it now we get a better look at her.

Actually, she was in Origins first (she was Cauthrien).

She may well have had been born to Orlesian parents, sent to English accented tower as an apprentice and then for whatever reason moved to an Orlesian Circle after passing her Harrowing.

In regards to it being a placeholder, I think that's unlikely Ecuador surely they would choose to reveal the companions who have the most current content earliest. Perhaps Varric, Cass and Vivienne are finalised in term of spec, voice actor etc and that's why they are choosing to show those 3 off specifically.

Not saying I totay agree with it, but it seems to be what they did. Since we've only "heard" her speak in the novels, this doesn't neccessarily violate any lore. And, on one hand, Orsino was named First Enchanter of a mostly human Circle, even though he was an elf. Could not Vivienne be named First as changer of a mostly Orlesian Circle, despite not having an Orlesian accent?

And... maybe her accent changes more Orlesian when she is around other Olresians. I've known people who had subconscious patterns like that in the past.

As the Amell Warden illustrates, mages are sent off all over the place. They don't have to stay in the Circle of the region they're native to. 

[ManchesterUnitedFan1]

Because*, not Ecuador.... Autocorrect, how I loathe thee.

[devSin]

David said people who complain about the French accents are going to find plenty to complain about in Inquisition, so I imagine the reason she would have a different accent has nothing to do with some people potentially not liking it.

More likely, she's not Orlesian or wasn't raised in Orlais (or the brief lines we heard simply weren't sufficient to gauge her accent).

But they are also usually sent when they are young, and if Vivienne is old bough to be First Enchanter then she must have spent a lot of time in the circle and would have gained an Orlesian accent (from her character description, it seems like she was raised in the circle, it doesn't seem like being an apostate would be to her liking).

I suppose she may have been moved for some reason, but I can't think why. And the name point still stands, 'Vivienne' is clearly intended to be Orlesian

[sandalisthemaker]

Yeah, WTH?

[ManchesterUnitedFan1]

I'm sure Bioware has some kind explanation for this.

Although then again, lots of the stuff in ME3 made no sense. I have faith in the DA team though.

[NUM13ER]

Riordan was a Fereldan native but due to his time in Orlais had picked up the accent. As a side note I really liked his voice actor.

Everything about Vivienne from her name to the way she looks is Orelsian, but she doesn't have the accent? Despite being in Orlais long enough to be the next First Enchanter? It seems weird.

I hope it's just a placeholder.

Ah yes, I remember that. 


Either way, she's been around.
