    The best Swedish accent I’ve heard was the Russian gangster father of Alfie Allen in the first John Wick film. Makes sense given that the actor, Michael Nyqvist was Swedish.

    Skyrim’s NPCs sound and act like they’ve been lobotomised.

      I meant in video games, of course. In films there are a ton of examples. I usually go for Ingrid Bergman’s accent in the Murder on the Orient Express movie, although that one - while accurate - is slightly exaggerated for effect, I think.

        It’s not like Bethesda couldn’t afford to hire Nordic voice actors. They just chose not to do so.
