Furthermore, all soldiers have standard American accents despite their nationality. Note: this is from a company whose latest [[VideoGame/{{Civilization}} big hit]] is noted for authentic languages.

** The third game reduces the number of available squadmates for a better focus. You now have two humans, a turian, an asari, a quarian, an AI (non-geth), and a [[spoiler:Prothean]].
* The ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' seem to be this: of the four adults seen in the game, one is German and the other is Brazilian. It's a bit harder to tell since the main cast is made of students, all of whom seem to be American (except for the Canadian Chops). Plus the whole technicolor skintones thing. And there's the Russian kid.
* In the ''SilentStorm'' series, the Allied and Axis special forces unit are manned by soldiers from Allied/Axis countries, with some from Allied/Axis-linked countries with a few joining them due to neutrality/"own country being a douche in standing up for itself"/"I think the Allies/Axis forces can help my own country be free" issues. One of them is a British from Northern Ireland who joined the Axis special forces unit due to [[spoiler:her father's execution by the British as an IRA rebel]].
** In ''Silent Storm Sentinels'', you get to choose from a combination of the soldiers from both sides of the previous game, since the war is over by that time.
** In ''Hammer and Sickle'', you recruit squad members as you go, and they are also multinational, as you travel all over Europe.
* In the H-game ''Dyogrammaton'', DAKT is part of a UN response to an alien invasion, with team members from the United States, Japan, Italy, China, and Russia.
* Though it takes place in a OneWorldOrder setting and there are only accents to go by, the ''Pillar of Autumn'' in ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' has what sound like American, Mexican, English, Scottish and Australian soldiers aboard. Presumably non-English localizations also have a variety of accents present.
** The advertising campaign for ''ODST'' was set (and filmed on location) in Serbia.
* The team from InheritTheEarth arguably qualifies.
* ''DragonAgeOrigins'' has your [=NPCs=] representing all the different races and power factions present in and around Fereldan: Alistair (the Templars and nobility), Wynne (the Circle), Sten (the Qunari), Oghren (the dwarves), Zevran (the elves), Shale (a golem), Leliana (the Chantry perspective) and finally Morrigan who just out for herself.
** Leliana is also Orlesian.
** The sequel has you recruit team members in Kirkwall, which is overfilled with refugees from the Blight. You have Hawke's sibling (a Ferelden with roots in Kirkwall), Anders (a Ferelden mage with roots in Anderfels), Aveline (a Ferelden warrior whose father is Orlesian), Fenris (an elf from Tevinter), Isabella (a Rivaini pirate), Merrill (a Dalish elf), Sebastian (a Chantry brother from Starkhaven), and Varric (a dwarf). A DLC also adds a temporary companion in the form of Tallis (a Qunari elf).
** The ''Awakening'' expansion has Anders (see above), Justice (a spirit of the Fade), Nathaniel (a disgraced Ferelden noble), Oghren (see above), Sigrun (a castless dwarf), and Velanna (a Dalish elf).
* ''VideoGame/FalloutTacticsBrotherhoodOfSteel'' allows you to recruit squadmates from a number of races from all over the wasteland after completing certain objectives. This includes humans, super mutants (large green humanoids mutated by a virus), ghouls (radiation-mutated humans, deathclaws (massive beasts with large claws), dogs, and humanoid robots.
