Mongol General: Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

Makes me LOL too, especially in the evenings at the taverns.

It doesn't sound much like him to me. More like a bad scandinavian accent. I'm probably as bad but i like to think I got a perfect english accent :biggrin:

By bad i dont mean its a bad atempt to do a scandinavian accent, I mean that most i know and hear have less of an accent.

I guess they ran out of Scots. Too bad, I'd love to hear Craig Ferguson yammering on while I'm playing.

It's definitely NOT him, but damn it, he's trying to be!

I crack up every time I hear a dude with that voice.

*in an Arnold voice* "Oh no! It is a dragon! RUN! GO! GET TO DA STRONGHOLD!"

There are four accents - Swedish (some of the Whiterun guards, it sounds the funniest haha), Finnish (Ralof and many others like Vilkas etc.), German and American. And some women seem to have a Russian type of accent.

Keep in mind though I've only played for 15 hours maybe and have only seen Whiterun, Riverwood and a few dungeons, plus some places in Whiterun hold.

I thought the same thing. I kept expecting one of them to say "I'll Be Back" when they walk away.

Go to Austria, you'll have a good ole time.

Seriously, it's not an uncommon accent. Especially for Nordic people.

Agreed. It sounds like an american doing a nordic accent.

Some things I love about the dialogue is that the guards will comment on your choice of weapon/armor. Funny thing though is that (for no reason, as far as I know) Bethesda recorded the same guard dialogue twice. Once for men, once for women. I would have took the opportunity to have the women say different things - because it doesn't save on disc space (or actor time), I guess the writers just got lazy.
