Why is everyone british in this game?

Have you even played the Santa Fortuna level?

It's the only regional accent which no one cries racism over.

[racist]

Because it's Britman.

[Harris]

Because jolly good, old chap!

You should have played the original (2016). Everyone everywhere had the same few voices and accents. They actually did a lot better in this game.

Not only that but the voices are inconsistent. Like in Another Life, the cops will correctly speak with an American accent but as soon as combat starts they have British accents.

I have the first game and I thought they change it in the second part but no they didn't.

That is quite the exageration there

Diana is british
47 has an american accent
Lucas Grey has an american accent
The Constant has an american accent


So yeah, of the 4 main characters and villains in Hitman 2 a whopping 1 has a british accent... sure close to everyone there

When running around the various maps the npc's will speak with the local stereotypical accents
Guards will almost always speak in an american accent I have found (even the hippie in Colombia switches from "duuuude, thats so raaaadical maaaaan" to the generic guard voice if you distract him)

Sapienza is pretty bad, nobody sounds remotely italian.

Oi! You be careful what you say, lad.

I wouldn't even say he has a straight up American accent. It's more of an old fashioned mid-Atlantic accent. One that veers more to the American side. Then again maybe David Bateson just isn't great at sounding American.

As for the "Why is everyone British". I haven't got to the later levels of Hitman 2 yet, but I've yet to hear a Northern Irish, Welsh, or Scottish accent. It's all posh English ones. I hope Sean Bean will be doing his "up North accent". It least that could give us something different.

They have in some stages, like Mumbai.
Overall tho, Hitman is a game where every NPC has an enormous amount of lines, which comes at the cost of variety in voice actors. Thankfully the script is varied at least. You won't have the atrocity that is 9 different voice actors all yelling 'you never should have come here' over and over.

Hitman takes place in the quasi-future. And England saved our assess in WWIII.
