First let me say, it's a great game that has me addicted. Other than the so called AAA titles, it's what an RPG should look like.

Second, I always play my games in english, if they were made in english. I assume that's the case with DOS. I gave the german version a try and for me it's immersion breaking compared to the english one. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the translation itself. It's only that it gives the overall appearance of children talking to each other. Some of the issues are how characters adress NPCs. The NPCs come over as polite, whilst the player seems to be rather blunt. The devil lies in the details and that's a general problem with game translations. They never live up to the original.
