Re: Please add German voice acting to the game

I absolutely miss nothing when playing BG1 and BG2 with "only" partial voice acting.
I’m more and more learning how much *good* voice acting adds.
Currently I play the old Dragon Age Origins, and I feel every dialogue that’s not voiced. There’s just something missing.
I’m used to listening to English, but several people I know are not. I’d say that at least 20% of people in Germany would back out of movies without German voice line.
Though my priorities for that would be:
1. Excellent story.
2. Excellent voice lines matching the story (regardless of the language, likely English)¹
3. Good translations (when I played through Divinity Original Sin 2 the past months, I was often horrified at the mis-translations: some questions were actually not answerable without mentally translating back to what they may have meant in English).
4. Good German voice lines. Maybe you can get some of the voice actors Netflix is alienating right now. Trailers voiced in German would also be great.
¹ also I found that good voice lines stay good even when technology progresses. They typically age well.
