altair's voice | Forums

[nooneofinterest]

anyone else really think about how altair's voice is strangely north american? noone else really sounds like that. (acre comes close sometimes, but its still british) they dont even seem to notice his different voice.

as Yahtzee would say: "A middle-Eastern Assassin with an anomalus american accent"

hold on, I'll get the picture.
EDIT
Here is the picture


And you can watch the video here

It's actually really funny.

Oh god, I've watched all his videos, seen that one twice now thrice, and yet he still has me in stitches. Yahtzee has it down to an ART.

I think Lucy said that the Animus automatically translates some of the speech so that it's not like listening to someone reading Chaucer


maybe this is why he sounds American

[nooneofinterest]

k, but then how come he's the only one who sounds like that?

one of my theories is that since desmond was in the animus, altair's voice changed from what it might regularly be to match desmond more. just a thought.


BTW thats a funny video, although i think it was better than what he stated, but then again i suppose he was trying to point out the bad parts.

im not trying to turn this into an argument or anything, but lucy meant that instead of them speaking indian or whatever, it translates it to english, but keeping thier original accent.

Exactly, but I suppose for the sake of making the game more "accepted" to the American and Canadian public, it made sense to give the main character an American accent.

Not meaning to be racist or anything, but I doubt Altair could have had the same impact on a lot of players if he had a middle-eastern accent.

Oh Lord, I would have shot myself had they given him a Middle-Eastern accent.

i know this is a bit off topic, but when some of the guards talk they talk in french, german and i think latin, why? when lucy says the animus translates what everyone is saying into english
