i used to think that but the alternative heap of poor attempts at more exotic accents is also no good. if you’re not going to bother using full other languages its best to let the actors do what compromises their performances least.
I’m joking. The accents in that game are hilarious. They’re all over the place, and the US accents stand out like a sore thumb.
My favorite is the one dude in the dark brotherhood who when you first talk to him just states “I’m a werewolf!” in the most Solid Snake ass American accent.
Yeah, good question. I mean, some actors are REALLY good at their fake accents. Off the top of my head, Ella Purnell did an outstanding job in Fallout. I genuinely had no idea that she wasn’t a born-and-raised burgerlander with how well she pulled off the yank accent.
Maybe fake british accents are the least worst outcome then lol, idk. Still makes my eye twitch every time though.

Well, sure, in which case they should drop their shitty fake accents entirely and just speak like the yankee doodle doos that they are.
but should the inevitable 1/3 of the cast who are british/aussie try on american voices too? that’s where the grain meets the heap
Worked for Skyrim
