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

they all have an accent of one kind or another, what kind of a stupid question is that?
Link doesn't.
The Lone Wanderer doesn't either, The Oblivion Hero doesn't, Gordan Freeman doesn't, how many silent protagonist's are there?

Taking 'main character' as a broad category rather than strictly meaning the player character: both Martin and the quickly-deceased emperor in Oblivion have British accents, along with many vital NPCs. Sheogorath is... Christ knows what, he seems to flit between Scottish, Irish and Pirate, sometimes all within the same sentence.

If by accent you mean "non-American", THEN:

Thomas and Ray from Call of Juarez
How are their accents non-American?
I assumed that by "American" the OP meant... "standard" American, so to speak. The kind of American accent foreigners tend to mistake for Canadian, or vice versa.

Okay, people without American accents in games:
1)The SAS in COD 4.
2)The Russians/Middle Easterners in COD 4.
3)The Russians in COD: WAW.
4)The Japanese/Germans in COD: WAW.
5)Any of the support characters in Assassin's Creed(well...in the Animus thing, at least).
6)The bad guys in Uncharted.
7)Lara Croft.
8)Gordon Freeman. He doesn't have any accent.
9)Mario.
10)Link. Same as Gordon.

And that's just some of them...

Off the top of my head:

Elsa from Front Mission 4 (French)
Joanna Dark from Perfect Dark (British)
James Bond from every Bond game
Michael LeRoi from Shadow Man (African?)

You could find more at an old topic I created similar to this called 'accents in games', discussing that as well as when exactly accents in games become insulting.
