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.
