Even though I think HiTMAN (2016) is a fantastic game and one of the best additions to the series, one thing that's always bothered me and completely destroyed any feeling of immersion was how the NPCs speak. It's just... ridiculous... to have the same seven or eight Americans voice every single NPC in every level, from France to Italy to Morroco to Thailand to - okay the America one is fine - and Japan. How am I supposed to feel immersed into a "World of Assassination" if everyone sounds like they're from the same workplace in an office in New York or something?
I know it's probably very expensive and time-consuming to hire all of the region-accurate voice actors, but it would do wonders to the feeling of immersion and authenticity, and even though I'd love if they actually spoke in their proper languages, I'd be happy to settle with them just having an accent, because I know HiTMAN (2016) is going for a more casual audience so I understand why the devs might not want to alienate them by having NPCs talk in different languages.
So I was just wondering if IOI have addressed people's concerns about no accent/language diversity, or if they've made a comment about it maybe appearing in Season 2?
