"Schniepel" (=p3n1s)

[GERMAN]Warum Spielst du auf Englisch und ♥♥♥♥♥ auf Deutsch ?

Ich will aus Deutschland auswandern, deshalb mache ich so viel wie möglich auf Englisch...

[GERMAN]Was steht in der Settings.cfg und STEAM_Settings.cfg bei LANGUAGE ?

It's because the original version was German. English translators didn't have much time to translate all enemies, so they did voicing partially.

Thanks for the information about how their stuff is meant to be read! Russian version saved the same Goblin phrases, and back then forums were full of jokes about "schniepels".

I rather think that they intentionally didnt translate creatures.

In fact, the Dev's got so many positive feedback about the things the Goblins said from the German community, it was decided to keep the German lines over the translated versions.
And just like the German community, the International communty - in general - liked the Goblins being a bit more "raw" as well.

So yes, it was done intentionally and not because there wasn't enough time.

I got the original Version on Disc. There are so many audio-details in the background. thats one of the things, i love the game for. In the town: "Kannst Du ♥♥♥♥♥ - keine Ahnung - in' Wald sch3iss3n gehn?" - means: "Can't you - don't know - go into the wood to poo?" xD or "Schlagt ihm den Kopf ab, ich brauch 'n neu'n Aschenbecher." - "Cut his head off, i need a new ashtray"

The frost giants always sound to me like they're saying "Stupid quiche!", as though they don't like eggs and meat for some reason.

The goblins also say something that sounds like "Donderdag", which is Dutch for Thursday; i.e., day of thunder.

[Stealth]

you sure they dont say "donnerstag"? because why should they speak german and dutch at the same time

[One Winged Angel]

Does somebody remember "Rakanishu"?
Wrong game, but still a goblin :D

[Merx]

I may remember...

Lol I was implying that they say the German one, which I don't know as I'm not German. But thanks...
