    You seem to be refusing to understand. Have you never heard Afrikaans spoken, or accented English spoken by a white South African? Mercenaries in Africa had a large contigent from white South Africa through the 1970’s and '80's. There were also tribal accents in FC2 along with tribal black Africans speaking English. I've been around for 58 years, and I have a rooted knowlege of history and geo politics. You're not talking to a 23 year old who doesn't read the news. I found FC 2 a VERY realistic start of a game that simulated civil war mercenaries very well. The adrenaline rush, due to the immersive experience, both from sight and sound was very well done - down to the accents spoken by the AI actors, who were probably from the nationalities mentioned.

    "they did improve it somewhat in FC4, but never to the realism FC2 had with those South African (Afrikaans) accents",

    ...is associating one thing with another incorrectly. You can't for instance extend dailogue with an accent, you extend it with the actual script. Dialouge and accents are two separate things.
    Being obtuse is not helping your criticism. The people of Ubisoft, improved the dialogue in FC4 by making the AI utter less cartoonish dialogue, and had less contrived accents, but the dilectic atmosphere still did not reach the same auditory standards that Far Cry 2 had that made the experience more immersive and situational.

    LOL, you can't even use the word obtuse correctly. Uninformed would be more appropriate, but I'm sorry , you're the one uninformed. Obtuse is a word net noobs use when they are losing an argument and try and insist the one they're talking with is not alert or attentive. It doesn't matter how alert or attentive you are if you can't even identify or use terms correctly.

    You also verified my point by now saying improved dialogue AND less contrived accents, vs originally implying one was an extension of the other. The two are entirely different things. Maybe if you actually knew anything about writing, knuckled down and learned word definitions properly, you wouldn't be tossing around terms you don't understand, and in the process making yourself look uneducated, while trying to feign brilliance.
