[@andrespablos4093]

Considering his life long hatred towards the English, I bet Napoleon would curse and spit on this game for portraying him with an English accent.

[@MysteriousStranger007]

Actually he didn't hate the English until after having to put up with their nonsense for several years, and generally sought some kind of accord with them early on-seeing them as equals to his own country in some ways. He got along ok with some of the English People on St. Helena when he was exiled there(though they also annoyed him too-especially when they tried to restrict his movements). He at one point hated the French, but later got to a point where he was ok with them...Germany he respected until they revolted then was very angry with them. In short depended on his mood.

[@napoleonibonaparte7198]

[@DaSpooderMan69420]

Them having British accents really kills the whole feeling that everyone is French especially since ac2 had everyone with an Italian accent

[@LeHappiste]

This autistic accent obsession is really typical of Anglos I'm French, and when I watch a movie/serie..etc that takes place outside of France, I dont give a shit about the characters not having accents. The thing is that their conversation is supposed to occur in their native language (in the case of this video, French) These people are not supposed to have any accent while speaking their native language, so putting it in basic English without foreign accent makes perfect sense. A native English speaker will hear the conversation in his native language without foreign accent, just like it's supposed to be the case for the characters.

[@KingOfTheInterWebs]

+LeHappiste Though I'd prefer if the characters had French accents (Or Italian in Napoleon's case because he never lost his accent after moving to France) because it's more immersive. It doesn't really bother me that they don't have the correct accents. There's plenty of films I've seen that are set in France with all the actors having British accents so I'm used to it enough that it didn't surprise me and you make a very good point, accents probably wouldn't matter much when a language is translated like it is in the animus. So whether they have accents like they did in ac2 or don't like in Unity, either of those is realistic for the game. I just find that ignoring it and enjoying the game stops me from losing any immersion. That said, I'm an 'Anglo' and autism isn't something you should go round using as an insult.

[@nickn9040]

I disagree. I enjoy the accents. Maybe no some first year American theater student trying to fake the accents but perhaps some genuine French accents. It's one step closer to getting the full experience. Sure, I prefer to hear my native language being spoken instead of reading subtitles, but why not go with the accents? It's like replacing all of the food and cultural aspects with their Anglo equivalent. I.e., instead of a croissant we have a doughnut from Dunkin Donuts. It's also not autistic obsession. It's simply personal preference.

[@johnnavarre2384]

If there were one person I could meet from history, it would be Napoleon. I wish he had a bigger part in this game, especially since this was around the time when he truly started advancing through his military career by ending the royalist revolts

[@nicholasrowley947]

Actually at this point Napoleon was still a little known artillery officer, it would be his entry into the Italian theatre of war a year or so from now (game wise) that he would begin to gain the attention of the Revolutionary government.

[@RexGalilae]

+Anthony Piechowski This game did him a lot of justice and props to the (French company) Ubisoft for that.I really want an AC game centered around Napoleon. Perhaps it's due to me being a big fan of the Emperor, but the character still has tons of potential and was the highlight of an otherwise useless game. AC are going downhill since Unity and looking at Syndicate makes me feel so. The idea of having Evie Fry is totally flawed. I just hope that Rogue wasn't the last great game the franchise would ever make. I want better games from these guys :(

either way. Corsican, Italian or even a French accent would have been fine! they didn't do either of those!

[@lgvereor]

JumboCod91 do you not understand what an accent is? Being raised on a language doesn't make you immune from having one. Napoleon was raised speaking French but was still under the Italian influence in Corsican society; he spoke French with an Italian accent. English is not the only damn language with accents, and even if it was, we still have native accents even after being born into a fourth, fifth and so on generation family. Please go talk to a Brit, Pennsylvanian, Canadian, Aussie and a Californian, then try telling us they don't have their own damn accents. In fact, French has native f#%&ing accents too. For example, Occitan in southeastern France.

[@lgvereor]

JumboCod91 okay, well you are illiterate then instead. Because no one at any point said it's impossible to lose an accent. I said that being born into a language doesn't make someone immune from having one.

[@lgvereor]

JumboCod91 my family is from Occitania, in the Rhone-Alps region of Southern France, which in general has been screwed by the Parisian regime since medieval times. They, like Corsica are unjustly forced under a foreign culture, so I sort of take offense to someone claiming Napoleon was or acted "French" in any way. He put the French in their place and taught them about true equality regardless of culture, religion, or birthright; not the empty egalitarianism that the French obsess over to this day..

I wouldn’t say it’s “giGa cRinGe” at all nor would I say it’s a “personal hell” at all but just a interesting take on the real life figure. Napoleon HAS lied before for the sake of propaganda like his famous painting on himself on a horse isn’t an accurate portrayal of how he actually looked at all. So I can’t entirely argue against him acting like that in the film because the script IS intentionally written in a way to make Napoleon look bad, that’s a given ESPECIALLY given the contrast from how he’s portrayed in the trailers as a legendary badass conquering figure whose passionate in love making with his wife from how he is in the actual film to a man child whose bratty in some scenes while also making pig noises to announce that he wants have sex with his wife and gets into this awkwardly unromantic sex scene where he tired himself out leaving his wife unsatisfied and making what he does to her look like a chore. You can see this as the movie’s scenes are deliberately different from how he’s portrayed in the film as from the actually trailers. But seeing how I’m NOT a Napoleon expert, I can’t really argue against that kind of portrayal as I’m not entirely sure if he was actually like that, but napoleon is usually seen as this legendary badass in film and media that DOESN’T just portray him as short, it’s going to upset some people who expected him to be just how they imagined to be from the trailers and even in the AC Unity game who portrays him as a calm, confident, and brutally efficient person.

[@lgvereor]

JumboCod91 Napoleon was born only a short period after the revolution, in the very recently acquired Italian region of Corsica. Still very much under Catholic influence. France in general at the time wasn't really dechristianized outside of Paris and the surrounding area. Let alone a region just barely in the French sphere of influence; and only recently acquired from one of the most religious and pious people on the continent at that. Catholic. Very Catholic.

[@MysteriousStranger007]

@Antonin Mercier Actually Napoleon's views of God changed throughout his life. He believed in the "unmoved mover" and believed in some sense of Destiny(Closest definition is divine purpose). At one intellectualizing point, he advocated a solar diety as it was the most natural as the sun warms and gives life-he also admired Islam. By the end of his life he seems to have come to some kind of acceptance of God. His Political ideology was center-Communitarian overall-sometimes sounding libertarian when not in a position of power. His views were certainly not hardline traditionalist, but he wasn't a radical anti-theist communist either. Overall he was a reasoning theist of some sort.

He said if one was to have a god or worship it should be of the Sun. Also, he constantly moved his religion to fit wherever he went, even reading the Coran when he was in Egypt.

[@thefraudulentbrit7516]

If I may, I just had a dumb idea. Given how Napoleon spoke French with an Italian accent due to his Corsican upbringing and the game gives everyone British accents, here’s something they could’ve done…. Give Napoleon an Irish accent. It would’ve made him sound a bit different and acknowledged his different upbringing while going along with the whole “French are British” thing the game did. I mean, it’s just a thought

[@Mauriziobarenboim]

Didn't know that French people had English accents. Fascinating how historical AC is.

[@m1co294]

To be fair English is the global language, and that the French dub exists. Jokes aside, AC really is historical, Ubisoft even manages a way to twist the events a little while keeping the games historically accurate One good example is Elise shooting Maximilien Robespierre in the jaw, the thing is; it actually happened. Except it wasn't Elise that shot him, it was himself, it was a failed suicide attempt (how do you fail to kill yourself anyway?), they found Robespierre with a giant hole on this jaw when they arrested him.

[@abdosalah22]

Notice that Napoleon grabbed his gun when he asked Arno to name the thing he was searching for. When Arno told him "some letters" he lowered his hand from the pistol. If Arno said he was looking for an artifact, Napoleon would have shot him.

[@Rumpelstyltskin]

Napoleon being compared to Hitler and Stalin is an inaccurate misconception devised by British historians. Napoleon was bright, cynical, ruthless, possessed immence confidence (whose genesis lie with Letizia (his mother)) that only grew after each victory in his life and the subtle attributes needed to persuade men (not only those from a harsh and brutal background) to lay down their life for him but unusual for a man of his position and age he was not vindictive, possessed empathy and incredible pragmatic mercy to those who humiliated and betrayed him time and again (Charles Maurice de Tallyrand Perigord being a prime example). Hitler and in particular Stalin were to their core, psychopaths. Such is the difference. But the one thing all three do have in common is that events do shape the man. Without the French or Russian revolutions or the Weimar Republic misnomer would the world now know them? This depressing lesson unfortunately is as good now as it was then; no matter how talented or intelligent, if the opportunity never arises, the dunghill awaits.

[@lloroshastar6347]

Speaking as an English person its very jarring watching Napoleon talking with an English accent. In the earlier AC games they gave the characters an accent, made it seem more believable. This takes me out of it, its like when Romans always have English accents in Hollywood, I mean, why? I always assumed it was because of the association of the word 'Empire' with the British, that and perhaps America's association of the 'old world' with Britain. I just can't take Napoleon with a British accent seriously though, doesn't sit well with me.

[@1headphoneguy]

Iv often questioned that myself but I read somewhere that it's because of Shakespear and his plays. They were the first incarnation and the "modern" worlds glimpse into Rome. The actors playing Roman characters of course, had British accents. So naturally as famous as Shakespear was along with his plays it became a bit traditional for Roman people portrayed in media to have a bit of a British accent.

[@cr3160]

What other accent would the Romans have? If you have this notion that modern Italian even comes close to how Latin was pronounced, be rid of it. Italians are no more accurate in terms of accent than the British.

[@Rumpelstyltskin]

Sam Hall Perhaps because the game is for an English speaking audience. I cant do with the Allo Allo affectation of the french accent. Better to just have a soflty spoken Brit do it. Incidentally if you are seeking the quinteciential depiction of the man I recommend the French movie 'Monseur N' by far the best "recent" performance of N. Napoleon's personality did change during this time (end game on St Helena) due to disgruntlememt, age and possibly by the fact he was being slowly poisoned under the supervision of Hudson Lowe (his jailer).
