Where do you expect them to find English speaking children with a Scandinavian accent? lol.
They speak Imperial Common (English). Just like anyone else native to that language they do not speak with an accent.

Erm, in Scandinavia? You do realise that their kids end up speaking English better than a lot of native speakers; a huge amount of them have English as a second language, certainly to the degree necessary to rattle off a few ambiance lines for a videogame. You do also realise that if Imperial Common is being represented by English, then the proper way to represent them speaking "just common with no accent" would be to give them an English accent, not an American one, yes?
On second thoughts, don't do that, I shudder at the very thought of the way 99% of yank actors butcher English, Scottish, Irish, and indeed any other accent or dialect.
I'd have liked Bethesda to put some effort into it, to be honest, and do actual regional variations. Have the Ahnold Impersonator Brigade do the southern region, slavic for the southeast, Danish for the centre, Swedish/Norwegian for the north through northeast, and Icelandic for the northwest; running into a traveling merchant and thinking "oh cool, he must have come all the way down from Winterhold" because of his accent would have added so much to the game. Instead we just got assorted and variously successful attempts at vaguely northern European accents, with a few proper Scandinavian and Slavic actors in the big roles.
