voices not translated

[da-micha]

The fact that the voices aren't translated into other languages ​​is a joke, I played for 10 hours, I fought for 30 minutes, and the rest is reading and listening to a foreign language. I'm so tired of reading that I can't continue playing the game. Nowadays you could at least have an artificial intelligence that could read the text in my language. I threw 60 euros out the window, thanks.

AI voice acting is worse than no voice acting. You're just going to have to read, or go fund rerecording the entire game.

Voice acting is expensive. That is why most games only have it is few cut scenes…

Well if you think making an ai that will be able to translate the voice actors lines to a foreign language then go ahead and make that mod yourself. Shouldnt be an issue if its so easy. Also wait until you learn that 99% of the best rpgs have no voiced dialogue at all. Its all text.

You want to pay for the localization and new voice actors?

You threw them the money and are whining about not having voice in your language when it was clearly listed on the store page what languages were available in text and that voices were ONLY in English. You made an informed choice or failed to read. Either way you now must live with it.

I assumed that it was a German voice translation.
At the beginning I thought it would be okay, but I couldn't bear it.
Many games I have played have translated voices. Fallout, Mass Effect, Gothic, Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age and many more. These games didn't cost more than 60 euros. This is a must, especially for story-heavy games. I'm disappointed.
Anyone who has English as their main language can count themselves lucky.

Well there is a saying: "When you assume you man an ass out of you and me." (ass-u-me)

Take this as a lesson to more carefully read the store page before buying a game.

edit: also those other games you mentioned were not fully voiced and had many fewer lines of dialogue than BG3. BG3 has more dialogue than there is text in the entire Lord of the Rings novels - that is A LOT of text to voice once let alone again in even a second language (which would be more likely to be Spanish or French before German).

I'm lucky because I'm from Gent just like Larian. I can just listen to the Flemish Dutch voiceacting and read everything in said language. When I'm bored with playing the game, I go shoot the ♥♥♥♥ on Larians forum where obviously most is written in Dutch

Voice acting costs money and requires talent. If I could get a penny for each horrible dubbed piece of media, I would be very rich. Also, some things never translate well.
It's not because there are 84.4 mil Germans that you should expect everything foreign to be translated in your language. English is not the most used language, but sure is dominant in media such as games and movies.
If you accept this fact, you can stop resisting and start to get used to English. You don't need to get back to school and you don't need perfect grammar for this. Just try to think in English while wrestling with it. The wrestling will change into a dance sooner then later.
For instance, start watching english undubbed series and movies with english subtitles.

Guess you're getting free English lessons for those 60 euros. Good deal
