One thing I adore about Starfield that I'm in turn disappointed by in Baldur's Gate 3 is how either game treats Scottish accents and so on.
Idk if it's cause BG3 is fantasy, but the one Scottish sounding character I've heard has a very overdone, hammy, nasty sounding voice and belongs only to a badguy, while the English and Irish voices are (mostly) natural and even comfy or friendly sounding. There's no option to have a Scottish voice for your player character. They can only be English.
Starfield meanwhile could have gone the route of ridiculous hammy voices, given Bethesda's previous habits... But they didn't. Scots appear as regular people, just casually, same as Irish and Australian and American and English and so many more, and they're even allowed to sing and sound pretty. Getting that sea shanty lad in really helped there, he has a fucking beautiful voice. And that is literally the only time I've ever heard a Scottish voice be allowed to sound pretty in anything, especially video games on the rare occasions we turn up.
It's incredible, and baffling.
