Relativelybest Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I don't like the fact that Orcs and Nords sound exactly the same. The voices fit the Orcs, because the words sound somewhat laboured, but the nords? Aggh! My ears bleed every time they speak. They just don't fit! Proper scandinavian accents would have been better, Bethseda, speaking as a half-swede... Pah. Can't account for lazy developers... Speaking as a full Swede, I'd rather they not do that. English spoken with our accents have a tendency to sound incredibly silly. Hence why it's usually substituted with watered down Scottish or German or something in fantasy games and movies. The only one who can make it sound cool is probably Stellan Skarsgård, and that's because he has an awesome voice and only a very faint accent. How about when your in the city and you hear a creepy old begger lady; then you talk to her and she has a regular woman's voice; then you stop talking to her and the creepy old begger lady's voice comes back again with "blessing of akatosh upon yee....." You're right, that's bizarre. I couldn't figure out if the idea was that they were "faking" the beggar voice for sympathy, or it was just an error. When I managed to get a beggar to tell me how to contact the Thieves Guild, she explained it in the normal lady voice. I took that to mean it's actually something Bethesda did deliberately.
