It works in LOTR because that's basically supposed to be medieval England in a fantasy setting. And it works in Star Wars because there are no rules. But in a game that takes place in ancient China (as fantastical as it is)? Hearing American English sounds absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah, and that's because people like to be able to understand other people.
In a game (or movie), however, subtitles are available.
I think you've already mentioned that you wouldn't mind if all foreign movies were dubbed in English though, right? Unfortunately that seems to be what nearly everyone our uncultured society wants as well.
