My daughter's Irish bf spits whenever he sees a union jack lol...
I really don't think you're a troll and tbh I was disappointed at the accent too myself, even though I'm an Australian of Welsh and Basque heritage and am far removed from the issues..
I don't think cultural appropriation is an actual thing though tbh and they probably used a generic english accent for wider appeal... it's just another case of artistic laziness imo...
I've been searching for a genuine celtic experience in gaming for a long time though and nothing has really stuck out at all.
Those are mainland Scottish actors. Senua is from Orkney which has a very diffrent sounding accent if you wanted to use a modern equivalent. It would have been nice if they though of using that but might have been tough for people whose main tounge isn't english.
But I think I will never truly understand the inner conflicts you have on that nice little island of yours.
1. Vikings and Picts are not necessarily contemporary with each other (the histories of the time and place are ambiguous.) The Picts were not Celts, but the Scots were and are. There may have been scattered remnants of them (Picts) wandering about, but by 700s AD. Scotland was mainly Scottish.
2. Mirrors were made of bronze. Iron does not polish easily (as opposed to steel) and both iron and steel oxidize much too readily to make into mirrors. Bronze, on the other hand takes a very fine polish, and oxidizes much slower than iron would. The better mirror smiths (yes, they existed) would guild the face of the mirror with pure silver which polishes even better or even gold. Today, we would use chromium, but that was unknown at that time. (in America, the Hopewell made mirrors from polished hematite, or mica, but neither would be sufficiently reflective to actually use them for more than flashy shiny things.)
3. Only the Vikings would be wearing trousers, as the Celtic peoples in England and Scotland generally despised them. It took the Germanic peoples to invent trousers, though evidently Asterix's people seem to have accepted them. The Romans reluctantly copied their Germanic enemies, because like the Germans, they were intent on fighting wars in the winter as well as the summer months, unlike all the civilized people of the day, like the Greeks and the Celts. Spring and Autumn were generally war free so that the farmers could produce the food that was the primary fuel for all the warriors running about in the summer and winter. Women would not wear trousers...ever. Everybody would, however, wear a tunic, usually made of wool or, if rich enough, linen, except in Egypt, where they would also have cotton.
4. Tartan or Plaid was only used in western China at this time. As you know, tartan was not introduced in Scotland until the early eighteenth century.
6. The sword is not period correct. The one depicted was from the Hallstadt period in what is today Austria (ca.800 BC). They were the first steel blades, however. In the eighth century AD, virtually all swords in northern Europe, including Scotland would be viking type broadswords, which were invented by the Franks in today's France, or leaf-bladed short swords, or the Germanic dagger, the scramasachs (from which the Saxons got their name, btw.)
7. Woad would not have been worn at all. It is acidic and would blister the skin. The idea that the Celts wore woad was developed in the Victorian times to explain how the Celts could have worn blue paint on their bodies. They, in all actuality, probably used some sort of copper ore, like malachite, azurite or even lapis to get the desired colors. Besides tin, the British Isles were very rich in copper, which is one of the reasons that the Romans invaded them in the first place. The copper colors, if worn long enough, would stain the skin, and thus were semi-permanent.
8. Wolf skin capes were acceptable. Wearing of wolf or more importantly bear fur meant that the warrior wearing them was a Berserker, or a warrior who had dedicated him (or her) self to Odin or the Celtic equivalent as a warrior priest. In actuality, Berserkers did not froth from their mouths, bite their shields and rush willy-nilly into battle irregardless of their own and others' lives. They were very calculating in their violence. What they would do was dedicate any kill (they did not take prisoners except to sacrifice them later) as ritual offerings to the gods and ancestors. Furs, however, are usually more of a hindrance than a help for most clothing usages, especially when worn in battle. The skins are fragile in comparison to cloth and leather made from cow hide. They would need to be sewn onto a cloth backing in order to have any chance of lasting more than a short time.
Yes it's only a game, but I for one get really p*ssed off with Hollywood when they mess with history, especially WWII. They make 'true story' films depicting events and change the nationality of the persons involved in decisive events to American all the time.
Because of this, I can fully understand why people are asking 'How Celtic is it?' just like I'll ask 'How true to life is this film?' because if they've bastardised it I will not watch it, because it will anger me beyond boiling point.
Sheesh Steam.
Britbongs: committing cultural suicide since 500 BC
And to answer the question...
Yes. I'm a Gaelic Reconstructionist Druid and Tribal Socialist (not the commie kind). If you're interested in what it all means, throw me a PM. Serious inquires only, please.
Trusting (((Wikipedia))).
How...niave.
England didn't even exist then, nor did the english language, the anglo-saxons spoke a derivation of german, so maybe they should have got a german voice actor, would that have been better for you? I personally can't understand a thing most scots say, so think goodness they didn't go with a scots accent. As to the picts, we have no idea what a pict sounded like and no, picts and scots are about as similar as Anglo-saxons and modern english people. Get a grip.

NOT AN ARGUMENT.
Would have still been more relevant with a Scottish voice actor.
Lets test this then.
Má tá tú, mar a deir tú, ar dhuine atá ag iarraidh filleadh ar an traidisiún Ceilteach. Ansin cén fáth a labhraíonn tú i mBéarla ach nach bhfuil tú ag labhairt i dteanga Cheilteach? Ní cosúil go bhfuil sé an-barántúil. Is dócha gur shocraigh siad Béarla a úsáid seachas an teanga Cheilteach do an chluiche mar go bhfuil na teangacha Ceilteacha an-deacair a fhoghlaim. Níl sé ina theanga tipiciúil, is iad na teangacha Ceilteacha ceann de na teangacha is sin ar domhan.
Déanann formhór na ndaoine iarracht ár gcultúr ársa a mhúnlú ar a gcuid bealaí toisc go bhfuil sé deacair a thuiscint. Tarlaíonn sé freisin le traidisiúin Lochlannacha. Tá coincheap na déithe Ceilteach cosúil leis na teangacha Ceilteacha éagsúla i mar choincheap mearbhall.
Ar an bhfíric shimplí gur labhair tú i mBéarla ó thús go deireadh, mar a deir tú go bhfuil tú ag irraidh na traidisiúin a athbheochan, is dóigh liom nach bhfuil tú tromchúiseach. I mo thuairimse, ní ghlacann tú páirt i n-íobairtí daonna nó go n-ólóidh tú an fuil de do mhuintir marbh ionas gur féidir leat teagmhál a dhéanamh leo. Níl an cultúr Ceilteach chomh sásta agus iontach mar is maith le daoine a chreidiúint.

Ar chúis eile gur rognaigh siad Béarla a úsáid, ní thuigeann beagnach gach duine sa domhan an teangacha Cheilteach. N'fheadar cé mhéad daoine a bhfuil an cumas acu an méid a dúirt mé díreach a léamh agus a thuiscint.
Má fhreagraíonn tú é seo i mBéarla, is é sin go léir is gá dom a fháíl amach cé chomh tiomanta is atá tú an cultúr Ceilteach a athbheochan. Má deir tú 'Níl mé Gaeilge', is sampla eile é sin cad chuige a roghnaigh siad Béarla a úsáid seachas teanga Cheilteach. Is féidir leat do saol ar fad a thiomnú chun teanga Cheilteach a fhoghlaim agus beidh tú fós nua don chultúr mar gheall ar an dóigh a bhfuil difríocht idir gach teanga acu.
I should have clarified.
I'm Celtic ethnically, American nationally. I am studying Gaelic, though. Currently trying to grasp the weird way the alphabet works together.
