Leilana and Cassandra have South AFrican accents.
Leliana is French. Pretty sure Cassandra's accent is, as well.
Leilana and Cassandra have South AFrican accents.
If Leliana - to you - has an English accent in DA:I ... then I really want to hear what's a French accent. She has the exact same accent in DA:I as the one she had in DAO, not to mention of course the exact same voice actress. She's only different writing-wise, but other than that she's almost identical (saying "almost" because she's harsher in Inquisition certainly, but it's usually situational; when circumstances demand it, in her book anyway).
Well, I've only put an hour in the game so far and only heard a few lines from her. I thought I could pick up her pitch going up and down as opposed to a more flat and nasal tone the French accent gets. I might have to play more and hear more of her lines, but it definitively did not sound French to me so far.
I am not sure how Cassandra sounds South African. She definitively has some kind of a forced French accent. And I should know, I am French. There is nothing more annoying than people thinking they can fake a better accent than mine. I really get annoyed by her performance, it's like hearing myself talk and the lisp she adds in the performance doesn't help.
Anyone have the scene where you bring together all the members of the Inqusition (that like you) and get half drunk resulting in Cullen losing all his clothes and streaking back to the barracks? You can also navigate the conversation, thought that was a nice touch. More than midway in. Think Varric triggers it.

I'd offer a warning. Don't let your Origin cloud storage go over limit. It can and will screw with your local save games. I get to replay about 4 to 5 hours of game play because a full cloud overwrote my local saves. Including the somewhat tedious Wicked Eyes quest.
How are you guys finding stability?..Personally very good in general only had two CTD in about 40 hours of playing,no freezes at all.
I'm using Sapphire 280x OC card with most settings on ultra,latest omega drivers 14.12 and DX11 mode,CPU overclocked ie 2500k@4.4GHz.
After the patch, I have not had any crashes. After the 2nd patch, and Nvidia driver update, I have not had any of the lag moments in Skyhold.
The only thing that still happens is sometimes foliage might flicker, which a reload fixes, but sometimes it might take multiple reloads (it's random on restarting the game).

I had one CTD in the first few hours and have yet to see any stability issues since. I am about 90 hours in.
I haven't seen any graphical issues either, but it seems those tend to be SLI related and I am running on a single 970.
Weird since you go to the forums and you see all those guys with major crashing issues or can't play the game,sort of feel sorry for Bioware since they are in a no-win situation.
Interesting,not encountered any foliage issues personally,anyway I'm sure next set of drivers and patches will make the game better for most users.
Patch two makes the game much more stable but still a few bug issues,they really should of done more bug testing etc..
Still quite a few angry gamers out there,only have to go to the forums to see the bug list thread and issues people are having.
Guess we are the lucky ones that can play and have a stable gaming experience.
I did report the bugs I have found via the bug thread at the Bioware forums,anything to help them out.

I can count on 1 hand how many CTDs I've had in about 90 hours, but when they happen, it tends to be at the worse possible time. Last night, I was fighting the lvl23 dragon in du Lion. Had him down about half way, and the game CTDs.
I've also had some strangeness happen too; prior to that CTD above, I'd crafted a new 2H sword and used most of my dragon bone in it. Along with a superb rune. Sword was gone after the CTD, along with the rune and , the grip and pommel mods. I had to battle 2 more dragons to get enough dragon bone to make another. That pissed me off more than the crash.
