I instantly fell in love with the charming world, the characters, the story, all packaged into those lovely pearls of a game. I almost never play RPGs multiple times but those 2 I’ve played to death and beyond.
- I'm sold on the box art alone I may have to give them a play the visuals are quite pretty from what I've seen. Reviews seem to lament its not like dragon age origins and as a dedicated hater of dragon age origins i might actually like this one
  
  That depends on why exactly you hate Dragon Age because there are a lot of similarities. And also, if you’re not German I think a lot of the charm might get lost in translation and cultural differences. So maybe you will not get as enchanted by the world as me. But I could be wrong on that of course. Only one way to find out.
  
  As long as it doesn't have an equivalent of the fade section in origins I'll at least not hate it and drop it completely. I have a german friend who might be able to translate the references for me unless they're dropped completely from the English version? From her I learned my new favourite word etepetete
  
  The only frustrating thing is that the first game doesn’t have fast travel. So you have to walk around a lot but there is nothing as dull as the fade, at least there’s nothing that comes to my mind right now.
  As for the language, the problem is that it doesn’t really translate to English. It’s not references but just the general vibe that it offers because Germans love to mix in some older German to fantasy settings to convey a more immersive feeling and also you can add more proletarian, vulgar phrases to give the dialogue more colour and character. Scottish is often used in English versions to give it a similar feel but German is quite a bit more elaborate with it.

  I’ve never seen this word even once, lol. Is your friend from Northern Germany?
  
  Skip the fade best mod ever
