Larian Studios Forums Divinity General Discussion Please add German voice acting to the game

As a German player who is fluent in English, I sometimes still have trouble with the English voice acting.
I set the text to German, but then unfortunately have to turn off the excellent voice acting, because it’s extremely confusing when the text is in German and the voice acting is in English.

I realize, of course, that this isn’t a simple request, but I can immerse myself much better in the game world if the voice acting were in German. I also understand that it’s not possible to provide native-language voice acting for every language, but the German-speaking world isn’t that small, and many (role-playing) games do offer German voice acting (e.g., Kingdom Come: Deliverance).

I hope that you will at least consider whether a German voiceover for the game can be added later.

I understand the desire. But German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic etc..... they're all important languages, and that would be a lot of voice actors to find and pay.

For movies, I think the local distributors create and fund he dubbing in local languages, not the movie producer directly. Perhaps something like that could be foreseen. The possibility for local distributors to add language packs. Either bought separately by the player or funded as a part of the distribution budget.

Maybe there are games that already do this. I don't know. But as games get more and more cinematic with real actors and real vouce acting, I suppose the demand for localised voice dub will become stronger as well.

Is there none in BG3 ? I honestly dont know because I only play my games in English.

And as far as I'm concerned, I'd be perfectly happy with partial voice acting, like in Baldurs Gate 1 and 2.
