Aw shoot i know what i forgot to mention.

The german voice acting and localization. First of all there actually WAS voice acting this time (shoutout to soto and gyala delve when half of the characters randomly didn't have voiced dialogue, including peitha for a large chunk of the story lol). But not only that. It's actually really good??

The german localization and VA of gw2 is uhm... let's say the quality is inconsistent. It's usually somewhere between "pretty good" and "it gets the job done". SotO was a disaster. So many contextually mistranslated words; so many voice lines that sounded like they were recorded entirely without direction or context so tone/emotions didn't match the situation. It was genuinely.. not good. (Sorry to everyone who worked on it, I'm sure there were valid circumstances that led to that result).

I haven't noticed anything of that kind this time. The acting felt natural and the localization (got the text language in english so I can compare them on the fly) actually felt like a proper localization, and not a word by word google translation.

So yea. That's cool. Also I'm pretty sure I know one of the main character's voice actors but can't get any confirmation anywhere :^(
