Crash to desktop -- Auntie Ethyl's Hair Popup + Marina Dialog Shadowbart 10 hours ago
I get the Auntie Ethyl's hair choice popup, and then Marina starts her post-fight yapping. Both are up at the same time. I decide to do the Marina dialog first, click on one of the choices, crash to desktop.

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.
