Yes, we do have rules for accents in *THIS* fantasy setting. We literally have the voice acting for Baldur's Gate 1 & 2. You know, those games this one is supposed to be a sequel to?
How stupid do you think LotR would be if every single character in it has the same accent? I don't care whether that accent is British, Russian, French, Chinese, Indian, whatever. The fact that a random goblin guard sounds the same as a being from another plane of existence is stupid, period. This game has incredible visual diversity, absolutely top marks to their art department on that one. But as soon as they open their mouth and the goblin, Githyanki, Tiefling, Ogres, machine constructs, and undead lord all sound like they grew up on the same block together, immersion is lost.
