Just curious as a multi lingual Scot.

Most people do not like to have different German Voice accents in Games.
F.e. most people prefer the standard accent "Hochdeutsch" as Translation and Dubbed/Voiceover.
Some accents in Germany are very difficult to understand or it just very hard to find voiceactors with all those different accents to match the ingame NPCs or PlayerCharacters.

for my own, i dont like to play in Bavarian accent or east German accents. It just dont fit to the Fantasy Setting, besides that we in germany, like everyone elsearound the world, had medieval times and people where speaking all manner of accents then. So for realistic settings a game could go all in, but for this Game i prefer it as it is.

German "Hochdeutsch" is the most easy understandable German for everyone who wants to play it with german voiceover.

Personally i play most games in english and i do like all those different english accents all over the world.
It seems to fit somehow better then German ones for immersion.
