Osian. Bethesda butchered the Irish name Oisín in their new game Starfield – he’s definitely intended to be Irish because he has the most stereotypical “leprechaun” accent I’ve ever heard

   Probably predates the spelling ‘Oisín'(?)

2. Osian is a Welsh name, not sure why they went with that and a shite Irish accent though.

3. [Too late. Posted yesterday](https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/16cb7gh/anyone_else_playing_starfield_this_fellas_irish/). I imagine we will get this post twice a week like what happened with RDR2 when everyone came to post “Hey look, an Irish in a videogame. We are seen”.

4. Beaten to the punch. Posted yesterday.

5. All the Oirish accents are atrocious in this game.

6. I have no idea why big companies don’t just like, ask an Irish person how to pronouce Irish Names/Words in their media

7. Wouldn’t be Bethesda without one…

8. The graphics are a bigger travesty for a AAA game

9. Ossian is a legitimate name, they didn’t just make it up.

   Not that common here but it is around.

10. They did the same with Cait in Fallout 4, played by a Scottish woman and jumps 8 counties per line.
