Dont be offended by some of the tributes in the game. If you noticed ED does tributes to SCI FI movies. The Southern accent is a tribute Cruise's OBLIVION. Furthermore, people who live in rural parts of Northern States have similar accents.
That horrible, fake southern accent

"One does not simply..." pay Sean Bean to do voice work. 
It is not a Texan accent.
These people live light years removed from Texas and as far as I know Texas might have ceased to exist at least a millennium ago.
From what I heard it is an accent from the planet Maburlyflart III.

I believe the voice actors are British. I suspect the one in question is British and has tried to copy Dolly Parton.
Even the 'American' voice used for most Fed stations is just a generic accent. A lot of Brit actors are used in US movies these days but when you ask yourself 'ok which state does he come from?' you realise it's a Brit using a 'generic American' accent e.g. Idris Elba. I've worked with a lot of Americans and they all had variations in their accents because they came from different states.

Considering how big these stations are and how few people actually visit some of them they should all speak messed up cause their probably all inbred.
I heard it yesterday and I live in the UK. Yes I cried.
Really? Firaxis better get a refund then.
They are also conspicuously absent from the melting pot of UK accents that is game of thrones......

I did NOT say it was a bad Texas accent, I said it was a bad SOUTHERN accent. But I get your drift with the 'in the distant future accents can change' idea. Interesting idea.

You mean like Andrew Lincoln in Walking Dead? Or like Dominic Cooper in Preacher? At least British actors realise that there ARE different US accents unlike most Americans ATTEMPTING some mad generic British accent.

It's not just accents that will change in that time. English itself will be almost entirely different in 1300 years.
