And yes, I would pay for a DLC where a Viking with his personality existed.

Well, that's very interesting. But, the guy sounds like a real [censored].

His personality kind of svcks, but he would make for a pretty cool in-game character, yeah.

This is why I love living in Sweden

There are no Swedes or Vikings in Skyrim, though...

He may be swedish, but still comes off as an *** to me...

Since we have some Swedes on here: I bought a coffee table from IKEA... where exactly is instertion slot B?

It was supposed to, but apparently Bethesda doesn't know the difference between Austria and Scandinavia. :sadvaultboy:

No, it wasn't supposed to. It was supposed to feature the Nords, a fictional race loosely based on Vikings/Scandinavians. This is not TES V: Sweden.

Really, are we really complaining about this? Funnilly enough I come from London. That blokes accent in the thieves guild isnt really cockney......im off to make a new thread

Ok but why would they say "let's make Sovngarde like Valhalla and have them do their funerals like Norse funerals, then we'll hire voice actors who sound Austrian and Romanian." Kinda random.

And no I'm not complaining about it. In the end, it's hysterical and actually quite charming. I am gonna poke fun at them for it though.

It obviously should be..

And the guy is obviously joking.. Swedish people just have a very sarcastic sense of humure in my experience..

...and they say unarmed got shafted in Skyrim.

Indeed. There is no specific Skyrim accent. But it seems to favour something which is cross between vaguely Scandinavian, vaguely Dutch and vaguely South African... :confused:

The nord accent is whatever Bethesda thinks it is. If they want everyone to sound like Christopher Lambert, that's their prerogative.

» Fri Dec 16, 2011 7:08 pm

Wow, what a freaking moron. Having to listen to that in Skyrim would make me turn it off immediately.

» Fri Dec 16, 2011 9:46 am

I'm just glad there're no Argonians with faux-Australian accents in Skyrim :laugh:

Gotto respect a man who learned English solely through watching Southpark episodes and Tarantino movies.

Don't give them ideas!!!!!!!!

From WTH did you get South African? There isn't even anything closely resembling an Afrikaans accent (a South African language with origins in Dutch).

» Fri Dec 16, 2011 10:38 pm

He sounded pretty annoying to me.

» Fri Dec 16, 2011 8:20 pm

I thought they were speaking in Norwegian accents...

» Sat Dec 17, 2011 1:08 am

Yeah, it's a bit like English humour (probably because a bunch of Vikings ended up in the north of England). I immediately assumed the guy in the video was being satirical.

I have a Swedish friend who's partner is a Scot and she's developed a weird Swedish-Glaswegian hybrid accent. That's what they should have used for the Nords!

You do realize that Sweden was one of the Norse countries that Vikings came from, right? Including:

Norway

Iceland

Greenland

Denmark

among others
