This also means that, ironically, American accents are more realistic (if realism applies in a world of dragons) for medieval-ish fantasy settings.
I love that voice clip (of the woman doing romeo and juliet), but I wouldn't call it American either. Closer though, yes. I still hear the Irish in it though.

American accent is the only way to go for a male Qunari. The English accent just doesn't fit someone that big.
Alix Wilton Regan is my go to voice for all of my female inquisitors(who all seem to be Elves). The American female voice is a bit flat, but I want to give her a fair run in a playthrough before I decide. I think I'll roll a female Dwarf warrior for that run though 
I haven't beaten a game yet with a male inquisitor, but from what I've heard from my brother's character I like the British VA.
I can't be the only one who couldn't stand Jon Curry's voicework in this game. I tried it and had to delete a few hours in it was so mundane and uninspiring to me. Harry Paton, on the other hand, I feel did a wonderful job. Same with Alix Regan, though I haven't tried using Sumalee Montano's voice for my playthroughs yet.
Otherwise I think near all the voice acting, from the player characters to the NPCs, was fantastic and spot-on.
I like all of them personally, in different ways. Though my brother's estimation of the English male voice was "sounds like a posh tw*t" so I think it's safe to say he prefers the American male voice. I haven't tried that one myself yet.
The other thread about this, that claimed Americans didn't have an accent, was much more fun
There was a thread claiming that Americans don't have an accent?? But.. that doesn't make any sense. They have lots of accents! 
Then again, there are people who think the British monarchy are secrety lizards, so anything goes, I guess.

The jury's still out on this one, though.
Lol, we Americans don't have an accent. We have to pronounce every letter succinctly because we're still rebelling against the evil empire.
as does cluelessness
Nor can us Brits, we use miles and gallons... you'd want to go over to Europe for that weirdness.
Still, we have switched to Celsius over Fahrenheit, because having a 0-100 temperature scale based on water going from solid to gas is far easier to work with a nonsensical 32-212 scale... plus as a nation who spends a lot of time boiling kettles for a cuppa, it's way more practical?
Did anyone notice some of the Inquisitor's lines are taken right from Hawke too?
I've not noticed any, what lines were taken from Hawke?

Strangely enough, I unknowingly used the English voice for my male qunari, and...apparently didn't realize that was the "English" version. His accent isn't super apparent, or at least, I didn't notice it much. (He does sound kind of fancy, though. )
So last night, I made a new male Elf character, and was listening to the voices, and holy crap. The American male voice is...wow. Since I kinda assumed I was already using the American version, that American version totally threw me off. It's sooo loooooow. And very monotone.
Honestly, I'm not thrilled with either male voice.
Oops, I think I mixed up Inquisitors...I thought you meant Alix. Still, you've made a good case for Sumalee too, of that's who you meant!
When i first saw the trailer for DA:I i fell in love with british male voice:) "whatever we were before, we are now the Inquisition" - i kept on repeating these lines for a long time after And when i finally got the game i didnt even think of rolling American voice, something just seemed to be off with it.
But on my current playthrough i wanted a grumpy badboy inquisitor, and i chose it. And now i cant get enough of this voice, so shmexy

Considering we're a Starbucks nation, you'd think Celsius woulda made sense although a 37 degree body temperature will always sound like frozen solid to me
