I was a bit put-off by the Orlesian nobles in 2 having French titles, comte, comtess, viscount, I like the made-up arl(essa), bann, and teryn(a) better.

I don't know if italians feel that antivans sound like them, but I'm from Spain and I definitely think they sound like us (like castilians, to be more specific). My experience in various northern european countries tells me anyway that in many of them people can't tell the difference between the two accents. I definetely was mistaken for italian pretty often, though it's also true that it could be due to something else, I don't know

 

Velasco and Ignacio are also definitely spanish names, though I doubt anyone has named a child Velasco in the past five centuries or so    I didn't know Cesar was also a french name, but it is used in spanish too 

 

I don't think that saying we hate France it's fair generalization (speciall that we SUPER hate it)... at all... there might be some poeple who hate it, I know more people that (SUPER) loves french culture.

 

And I didn't understand why was important to know if in the spanish version orleasians have the french accent, but they do, mostly because we only get subtitles, so the voice acting is the original

Comtess, viscount are english titles ; it's a transcription of the French comtesse and vicomte.

Teyrn is a real title.  Welsh for King more or less

1. So you're Spanish. Zevran is not italian, that was my point.

2. I did not say that Spanish hate France. Anglo-saxon world do.

3. Important because of my firts post : read it

1. Yes, that's what I was saying, I don't know if you understood I was arguing with you about it, but I  was not.

2. No it wasn't you, it was panthomrachie, a quotation would avoid the confussion, sorry, but I didn't expect you to think I was refering to you. I just wanted to state that was not the case 

3. I didn't really get it, but doesn't matter, I just wanted to provide the answer to that question, for whatever it's worth

I'm just going by a lot of the Spanish people I meet. The Northern Spanish in particular go on about the French, like Irish people talk about the English or English people go on about the Germans anyone who is not English.

 

Hatred is the wrong word but I couldn't think of a better one. Extreme National Rivalry? There is probably a word for that in German, there is a word for every vague concept in German.

 

I don't generally look a people's names and link them to a nationality. Many people's names don't come from the culture they are living in. not all Richard's are English, not all Rachel's are jewish, not all Sean's are Irish (although if you are a Shaun or Shawn, then you are probably American)

well, I think national rivalry sounds better, and I know what you mean, but still I don't think it's really that extended, maybe a little more among older people, I don't know... It surprises me a little that you've met so many spanish people that would make you think so, but anyway it's ok, I know it's not the topic and I just wanted to give another point of view about it

There is a theory that states that people act slightly differently when not in their own country. They try to put forward their own culture by being a super version of their national identity.

 

e.g. Irish people tend to drink waaay more in another country because they are either on holiday  or because they almost feel like its expected of them. and hence the drunken Irish stereotype ....... of course we also drink a lot at home too....maybe that is a bad example but you get what I mean
