| Fantasyfan said: The DLC looks cool, but why are the English always portrayed as the villains? :D |
It's the upper class aristocratic British accent. Someone with that accent can make a proposal to have a picnic by the pond in a park sound like a sinister plot.
Also, the English are one of the less uncomfortable designated villains because of their history of conquering people. People love stories about heroic freedom fighters, and there are more historical cases of Irish, Indians, Scots, Americans, and hundreds of other groups fighting off English rule than the other way around.
It also possibly helps that many English actors are seemingly more willing to play the role of villains in film and TV than American actors seem to be. See Alan Rickman, Jason Isaacs, Anthony Hopkins, etc.
Love and tolerate.
