lol - I visited Scotland last year and had the same vision of having my 'heed' sliced off by a claymore-carrying scottish dwarf whose face is covered by a red beard.

That's not the games' fault - you just need to get out more On a side note, which game aside from WoW presented dwarves with Scottish accents?

Er..all of them?

Really? Can't recall Baldur's Gate/Neverwinter Nights/Dragon Age dwarves being Scottish...

We've already established that Bioware make the effort not to make their dwarves Scottish.

Having lived in Scotland for many years now and noted what some people outside of the UK refer to as "Scottish voices" I think a lot of people get confused between "gruff", which is a description of a voice, and "Scottish", which is a description of an accent. Most gruff English accents used by Dwarves are considered Scottish by a lot of people outside the country.

Exactly, that is why every english impersonation of a welshman sounds like Ruth Madoc from "Hi De Hi", which is highly inaccurate, as we all sound like His Royal Highness Richard Burton (God bless his soul).

While on the subject of Wales, we need to bring Patronage up to 21st Century and vote for Dame Shirley Bassey or Sir Tom Jones as the new patron saint of Wales.

Can't believe no one has mentioned the Half Life series.

Sometimes the most obvious are the easiest to forget about
