I like scottish accent and I don't like the British accent, especially the Cockney accent

I recommend playing The bard's tale 4

You can not be racist against culture tbh

British Gate 3: Revenge of the Bangers and Mash

Agreed.

And while we're on the subject of voices the game needs way more PC voice options. To me the current options only really sound right for elves, half-elves, and humans.

You can be racist against Dwarves, pigeonholing them into being Scottish only. Culture is not race or nationality.

Naw, that's pretty racist.
Er... no, actually. Fantasy dwarves have their roots in Norse mythology, if you want to give them an accent based on their mythos of origin it should be a Scandinavian one.

Elves also technically have their roots in Norse mythology, but the way D&D handles them is more akin to the Celtic Fae, so based on that same reasoning Elves should have Scottish (or Irish) accents.

But honestly, any race can have any accent.

Hah, I find myself agreeing. Big fan of Dwarves in DnD and always give them a scottish accent.

Now I'm wondering though, why that is. Like what is the fantasy origin of that. it has to go back at least 40 years, because that's how long I've had the expectation.

The elf in Gauntlet Slayer Edition has a Scottish accent.

The budget did not run to that, apparently - a voice pack or improved character customization options would be welcome DLC - but I doubt the engine would accommodate it properly.
