Is this a good or bad thing for someone to say?

[IamGilgamesh]

If there's a written form to read along with the accented voices so they can understand, I say you're golden.


If you're literally misspelling things to represent accents in the written verbal form, you're in good company with well respected and successful authors like Brian Jacques and Mark Twain.

I've always been told not to like go overboard when trying to give someone an accent. Like IamGilgamesh says, some successful authors have done this quite well, but a lot of times it won't go over well because you will have your player stop and try to figure wtf was just said which is bad. You never want your player or reader to have to stop the flow of the plot just so they can reread something they didn't understand because of how you chose to portray the accent. I would probably try to figure out a way to get the accent across without entirely mangling every single word. Pick some that you know people will pick up as being said in an accent (like what Wavelength said) and then they should imagine the rest of the dialogue in said accent.
