Is there any game where the main character has an accent?

[Sassafrass]

Not sure if it counts as main but David Nassau from The Last Remnant.

I know where the OP is coming from, it always annoyed me how in Mass Effect most the exotic aliens from the other side of the galaxy had North American accents.

Best accent by far is Niko's

 

[wrecker77]

Niko Belic?

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Your boss in Hitman was British.

Ezio from the upcoming Assassin's creed 2 has an accent although can we count that since it might change?

Wait, he gets an accent, but Altair doesn't?

He did have an accent.

An American accent. Everyone else around him had a Middle Eastern or European accent, but he stuck out like a sore thumb in terms of accent.

Maybe he had a sore throat.
OT: Niko Bellic?

 

[ntw3001]

they all have an accent of one kind or another, what kind of a stupid question is that?

Link doesn't.

 

[Heartbeat]

Niko Bellic, Mario and Laura Croft are 3 characters that come immediately to mind.

niko? from gta 4 has a russian accent

 

[frank220]

I don't know if this counts but the Brother Captain from the first Dawn of War has a weird pseudo-British accent.

SPESS MEHRENS!?

THE EMPRA PORTEKS

 

[Leftnt Sharpe]

Stranglehold.

*edit* I guess Soap from CoD4 sort of counts because even though we never hear him speak in the game, we do hear him speak in MW2. But I'm kind of grasping at straws there.

Erm, mark hammond from the (BRILLIANT) getaway games. In fact, scratch that, all the playable characters from both (BRILLIANT) getaway games have cockney accents. Dear old Nika Bellick from GTA. Most characters from the old(er) tekken games had eastern sounding accents. Thats all off the top of my head.

 

[TerranReaper]

Everyone has an accent, whether they have an American one or not, they still have one. Unless you're mute.

OT: Niko Bellic and Mario

 

[Prince monkey]

Agent 47 from the Hitman games. Forgot about him lol

 

[ghalkhsdkssakgh]

Damn, I was going to say Team Fortress, but you discounted that.

But yeah, Mario and Niko come to mind.

ooh, how about Worms?

Psycho in Crysis Warhead has a fucking horrific British accent. Dependent on the campaign you pick you can have a German or British accent for the narrators in Company of Heroes. The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games don't even have any American characters in them AFAIK. Mr Bellic of course, Boss' accent in Republic Commando isn't American. Whoever the main character in Just Cause is is Hispanic, IIRC. You can pick from various people in Alpha Centauri who have lots of accents.

Edit: Oh yeah, non-American campaigns in the Command and Conquer games.

 

[Deleric]

Nico Bellic has that going...

Do the guys from COD Russian campaign count?

 

[knight56]

The upcoming Assassin's Creed 2?

They actually got his accent down this time, thus screwing over the weak excuse of the last game.

 

[Spaghetti]

COD 4 SAS forces (obviously) have British Accents
The main charachter from the most recent Prince of Persia Game sounds Canadian
The Heavy in TF2 sounds Russian and the Demo man sounds Scottish (unless they changed it since the last time i played...many monthhs ago)
Dr. Chakwas in Mass Effect sounds like she's British (a bit like Helen Mirren actually 0_o)
The Russian Army in World in Conflict is (again, obviously) Russian

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

What? You might as well ask if there are any games where the main character has a name. Stupid thread.
