So, why no Boston accents??

Bostoners have a...unique accent.
You could say they all talk funny, but lets be nice

So why none in the game?

Would it have killed Bethesda to throw in a "you can't get there from here" joke into the game....I mean come on...

yeah now that is what i was looking for

Who care about Boston accents when we have France accents ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Youtube "Boston accent"

Instead of "car" they say "caa"

i hear an accent. kinda like a Cyndi Lauper accent, Maybe you don't hear it because you have the accent yourself.

[Spocks Toupee]

Like the old "I love New York" ad campaigns where one guy says

"I'm from Cape Cad, but I love New Yak"

The Diamond City guards seem to have an accent. A few others too, but it's not everywhere.

As an Aussie, i understand you perfectly, It's kinda like a "northern suburbs"
Melbourne accent. Or was it "south Sydney"???

Blake Abernathy seems to have a bit of an accent. Almost everyone says 'Quinzie' for Quincy.

Most VA's in the Commonwealth have New England accents, but only a handful have Bostonian because Boston is only what? 10% of the map?

Wrong.

All of Diamond City and the surrounding city area are of downtown Boston.

If you look at pictures of real world Copley Square (which in game contains Trinity Plaza/Church/Tower and Boston Public Library) compared to images of Copley Square in game, they are near identical.

The really tall building in both pictures is Trinity Tower.


Beyond that, Lexington, Concord, Salem and Quincey are all within a very short drive, or even walking distance, from Boston proper.



Every NPC in this game that can trace there lineage back to Boston, Concord, Lexington, Salem, or Quincey before the bombs dropped, should 100% have a Bostonian accent.

Bethesda 100% ♥♥♥♥♥♥ that up. Instead what you get is a very small select few NPCs with the accent, with the rest using a generic New England accent.


New England might be one large area of the North East...but it 100% has tons of varying accents.
