    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?
