While playing the demo I took a peak at the character builder and was very disappointed with the various voice choices that they had. Ignoring the part where they all sounded the same, where were the different accents? XCom is about building a squad of the best of the best from around the world and having them all speak perfect English seems really immersion breaking for me. I'm not talking about 3-4 variants for every possible major accent out there, but even just one of each would have been fine.
Just one of those little bits of polish I would have liked to see and was disappointed to not see in the game. Here's hoping they have more in the main game. What do you folks think? Does it kind of annoy you too or is it no big deal? I figure I will stop thinking about it eventually, but it just seems like a missed opportunity.
