Back on topic however..

Scottish accents? Haven't really noticed. [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]

Uhh Cristian, in the Rankin & Bass cartoon version of The Hobbit, the Dwarves sound definitively Scottish (thats how you spell it), and the Elves have an obvious Nordic accent. There's no doubt about it. Of course in games etc. I don't know; leave it to the creators to mess up the voiceacting, they'd only be living up to the general trend. Not to say that all in game voicing is horrible; there are many good games. But who can forget the disasterous laughing scene in FFX. That's honestly the only real problem I had with that game.
