Thank you for the translations! I have extra fun with them since my solavellan inquisitor was born in the Anders and then her family moved to her father’s clan when she developed magic. So Anders aka fantasy German is her first language. It’s super interesting reading about the different meanings and theories that come with it!

Ah, you’re welcome!! <3333 😁 I really enjoy making these posts, partially because it’s just so fun and interesting to compare translations, voices and voice acting to me! :D But I love this idea of the Inquisitor having another first language!

In general, I love how DA has implemented both real and fictional languages (and accents in the English version) in its worldbuilding, like aside from the obvious French, German, Spanish, Pseudo Latin in Orlais, Anderfels, Antiva and Tevinter, I love how you’ll hear the bard in Val Royeaux sing in French regardless of what version you play, or how the last verses of the original Grey Warden song are also sung in German, given that the Grey Wardens were founded in the Anderfels too (and fun fact, the song was actually performed by a German band called Corvus Corax!). And according to the World of Thedas book, the other verses are also in Dwarven, English and Elven, much in the spirit of the Grey Wardens uniting against the Blight regardless of race or origin. 😁

I wonder though if we’ll get to hear some more German phrases, if we get to visit Weisshaupt in DA4! 👀

(Also, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before, but even though I love Alix Wilton Regan too, the German female Inquisitor‘s VA, Manja Doering, is like one of my all time favorite VAs and I practically created my Lavellan with her voice in mind, so even now, it’s still a bit weird to me whenever I play in English or French and hear her talk with a different voice. lol)
