It's been a morning full of leaks for Xbox. Thanks to its lengthy legal battle with the FTC, we now know about a refreshed Xbox Series X design dubbed "Brooklin", as well as a new controller that might be on the way with precise haptics and modular thumbsticks.
Starfield's Irish accents are terrible actually
12.09.2023 - 14:57 / techradar.com
Starfield players are criticizing the game's questionable Irish accents.
A clip from Bethesda's sci-fi RPG went viral on Twitter last night showing an NPC supposedly speaking with an Irish accent and it's being ridiculed. When the character starts speaking, it's clear that the voice actor is putting on a soft impression of what they think an Irish accent is supposed to sound like (via GamesRadar).
But the more they talk, the more the attempt morphs into a collection of other accents, causing a lot of confusion as to why Bethesda didn't simply hire an actual Irish voice actor for the role.
One user pointed out that the NPC's voice slowly switches from the Irish attempt to British, to American, to more British. It's a bit dodgy and you don't even have to listen hard to notice the different accents changing throughout her speech. You can check it out below in the tweet.
The Irish accents in Starfield are… yeah. I'm crying lol pic.twitter.com/upaDDEpxuYSeptember 11, 2023
It seems it's not just this one character with a bad Irish accent either. In a separate tweet, a different user said that they'd heard it across multiple other characters in the game.
«Playing Starfield and my only big complaint is they’ve doubled down on that one woman in Fallout 4 with a *horrific* fake Irish accent by having *multiple* characters have horrific fake Irish accents!» they said.
Some other comments about the game's use of Irish accents have made it over the game's subreddit, with one Irish player saying, «The voice acting in this game is fantastic. Except for the unbelievably bad 'Irish' accent on Osian Salvato in the Clinic. What gives?
»As an Irish gamer maybe I'm just more sensitive to it, but I will never understand the need for American voice actors, or actors in general, to 'do an Irish accent', when they have clearly never heard one in their lives."
Elsewhere, in rather unrelated Starfield news, one player has brought attention to the fact that the game doesn't render the sun if you have a Radeon AMD graphics card.

Starfield Is Getting Roasted For Certain Character Accents
Even when you’re dealing with some of the best developers and publishers in the gaming space, they’re not immune to having things go wrong. After all, even when making a “simple” video game, they can’t test for everything, and they can’t plan for certain reactions from fans based on what they see and experience. When it comes to Bethesda, they’re known for creating sprawling landscapes for gamers to travel across, quests that can pop up from nowhere, and very tactical combat. However, as its newest game, Starfield, reinforces, they seem to have a problem with getting certain accents to sound accurate.

Starfield Is Getting Roasted For Its "Insulting" Irish Accents
Longtime fans of Bethesda's work will know that the developer has a strange weak spot when it comes to Irish accents. Fallout 3 had Colin Moriarty, a shady tavern owner whose accent was about as cartoonishly Irish as you could possibly get. Fallout 4 had Cait, a rough and rowdy cage fighter whose accent was extremely controversial at the time, with some going so far as to say that it completely ruined her character.
