This is a very niche complaint. Almost every NPC in The Witcher is british and its just such a fantasy trope I didn't even notice. And no, I don't expect Larian to pay extra to get that authentic Baldurian or Sword Coastian accent, cuz there is none, that is your head canon. This is not the real world, and we have explored people from a very limited background (mostly come from the same region). Now when we meet people from other areas a variety of accents would be nice, but I don't think there is any accent established for the forgotten realms, this is an international game played all over the world.
Few questions:
1. Did you play Baldur's Gate 1 & 2?
2. You are correct, there is no "Baldurian" or "Sword Coastian" accents. There are, however, very well established accents for the multitudes of races and cultures in Faerun (do you know what that is?). Calimshan = Arabian, Rasheman = Russian, and yes Dwarves = Scottish. The lists goes on. Do you recognize this?
3. Do you know that numerous NPCs and characters you meet in BG 3 do not originate from the area of the map? For example, Githyanki are from
another plane of existence. Not even just from a town a few miles away, they exist in the functional equivalent of another dimension. Can you please explain why those creatures would have nearly the exact same accent as a small goblin tribe? Then we can work towards the Redcaps (creatures from the Fey realm), any race or culture from the Underdark that is canonically so different from the surface world it may as well be a different planet, or the Tieflings that escapes from Avernus (another completely different dimension from where we play in BG 3).
