so for a while i never thought much of the accent traits until i played on rp. so i thought maybe they might be more fun to use. i cycled through them all and i made the following observations:
1) people really struggled to communicate with me! i'd talk to people and they'd take a little longer to reply as i imagine they needed to take the extra time to parse what i was saying.
2) upon going to medical and opening my mouth the very first thing doctors would do/say is offer me a mutadone pill. this tells me that accents by and large are viewed as something debilitating and not worth dealing with so have a mutadone!
3) very very very few people use accents. i could probably count on one hand the amount of other people i saw using accents.
now as the title says, i think it might be good if accents were nerfed. my issues with each accent is as following:
elvis - it makes you talk like your tongue was cut out of your mouth. not very elvis-like at all.
scottish - probably the least worst one but the way it replaces words tends to confuse people. maybe make it a 50/50 to replace a word?
swedish - largely unintelligible. i know it was originally a joke based on the swedish chef character from the muppets
french - not as bad as the others but sometimes it really mangles consonants and vowels
tyke - unintelligble most of the time since most consonants/vowels are replaced with e's
chav - less intrusive than tyke
anyway i suggest they be nerfed at least on rp. they have the potential to add flavor for rp but in practice they add a layer of annoyance in communicating with other people and are viewed as such since most people will offer you a mutadone.
