Favourite out of place or bad accents in videogames

[George White]

Playing Titanic- Adventure Out of Time, which features amidst all the terrible accents from various cast members, a cheeky sub-Boswell Scouse bellboy.
Any other  games you've played where you were taken aback by certain accents, for various reasons?

If you turn the V/O on in Beneath a Steel Sky, lots of chippy British accents which I wasn't expecting.

The delivery of "Oi!  You nicked me knackwurst!" sounds exactly like you'd imagine.

Also used to be pleasantly surprised that the first Ape Escape was all British accents, must be a bit of a rarity.

Didn't Jason Isaacs v/o on Steel Sky?
Hello to Jason Isaacs.

[The Crumb]

Heavy Rain with its bizarre French attempts at American accents

[George White]

It also uses a few Rentayanks - Sam Douglas in it, who's been doing it since Death Wish 3, Highlander, the Dirty Dozen TVms, Burton's Batman...

Dr Suchong in Bioshock, /thread

Have a look in the No More Heroes thread for a doozy

[Cerys]

Pierre in Tomb Raider Chronicles.  Never has a Frenchman saying 'never mind' sounded more like a hungover sixth-former attempting a Scottish accent.

Also that has Sir Peter Goodwright hinself, Larne boy Harry Towb as the f**king Irish priest Fr. Bram.

George from Metal Gear Rising

just shocking

Very similar to right wing darling Sam Hyde's Irish accent he adopted for the boxing stuff.

[RetroRobot]

Princess Zelda in BotW and TotK. Canadian doing a fucking awful posh English voice.

Good games but Zelda with voice acting just feels wrong to me?

Gotta mention Penguin's awful mockney in the Arkham series. Even the characters in the games take the piss out of it:

Watch Dogs Legion has a jamboree bag of mis-matched voices.

[Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth]

Steven Merchant turning up in Portal 2 was quite a surprise.

[The Crumb]

The original Deus Ex had some pretty spectacular accents and voice acting in general. My friend and I used to love quoting the French nightclub manager's delivery of'Goood tiiiiiiime'.

Goldman from HOTD 2 maybe more of a bad attempt to emulate human speech than a particular accent.

[Video Game Fan 2000]

it gave me lemonlime

Kingdom Under Fire : Heroes is a bizarre, Korean developed third person action/strategy game in which someone decided the generic dark elves are all French.
