It's simple biology. Every child, real or fictional, starts out sounding like an American, then puberty hits and they get their parents' accent. That's the rule!

I'd guess its hard to find scandinavian child-vioce actors in USA.

But thats no excuse, to get them there they could atleast tried kidnaping.

That was scandinavian?

I thought some of them were talking like Ahnold.

Better question: Why do all the Nord children look identical?

But seriously, did you really want a child voice actor to attempt an accent that can easily slip into the ridiculous? The result you'd get would be American kids doing their best Arnold impression.

I'm just thankful they sound as good as they do.

They watch too much american television.

It's really hard to find child voice actors who speak english with an scandinavian accent.

Why do half of the Whiterun guards sound like a bad double of Schwarznegger during Terminator.

» Wed May 16, 2012 6:16 am

They're the same from Fallout. Just like they added VATS sound -.-'

They also just copied sounds from Oblivion

Americans don't have accents. The rest of the people in the world are the people who have accents.

That's the truth right there. People should know that already.

» Wed May 16, 2012 8:50 pm

Still, I shan't complain. I was worried that everyone would have Americn accents like in Oblivion

» Wed May 16, 2012 3:22 pm

The same reasons dark elves sound australian...

He's joking.

That's the truth right there. People should know that already.

Hope you both are kidding --__--

EDIT~~~

As to the OP's comment...

Bethesda is based in USA maybe the employees brought in their children?

I swear the Jarl of whiterun's Mage is Dutch

I thought some of them were talking like Ahnold.

At least one of the voice actors is almost definitely Ahhnold in disguise.

It's not that big of a deal, bud. Go find a child with a scandinavian accent and get back to me.

Would have been a lot better recruiting scandinavian voice actors throughout. Instead we get a mix of Ahnuld, US accents, a bit of Irish and every kid is American. Some of the female voice actors dont even attempt an accent...just US. At least they could try ffs...

» Wed May 16, 2012 8:18 pm

The accents are all over the place. One of the female's "nordic" accent's sounds pretty darn slavic to me. But at least it's not as bad as the voice actor who did the part for the alchemist who thinks that reagents is pronounced "ree-gents". :facepalm:

» Wed May 16, 2012 2:20 pm

From what I've heard, the females have a slight Eastern European or Balkanian, but the male Nords is pretty spot-on. I would say it is almost a caricature of a Swedish accent, Richard Prior's Doctor Johannson if you like.
