It's not neccessarily one's clothes or one's voice that defines one's character. Altair is an outstanding assassin, because of his actions, his character and the way it changes and so on. Moreover, the voice is the same, still somewhat monotone and dark. It just got an accent and I don't see the big deal about that. It makes the game more realistic and that's fantastic.
