If you thought the english version was bad, look at what they did to the GERMAN version of the game

[MF|Bickid]

So the english version uses inclusive language, like they/them, right? Well, that's nothing compared to what they did to the German localized version of the game.

In this forum post (https://maniac-forum.de/forum/pxmboard.php?mode=message&brdid=1&msgid=5422479), the project manager for all localization brags about how he and his team applied fully gendered German language to the game, both in written and spoken text. What this means? Let me explain:

There is no singular "they" in German. So what the German localization team did was to use so-called "neo pronouns", pronouns that didnt really exist until trans-activists made them up. So now the game is full of the neo pronoun "hen/hem" and at the end of nouns there is an "-e" attached (imagine in English there's a guard, then with German gendering, it'd be "guarde". And if that wasn't enough, they're also using stuff like the gender star * and the double point :.

Heres an example if this were applied to English:

"Hen is a capable fightere, but the leader*ess of the troupe is not a reasonable person:ess."

No option to turn this off. A hundred million dollar project self-sabotaged by political activism. Reminder: The vast majority of German citizen is against this sort of language. There was zero need for it. But EA let it happen anyway. As a German, the worst part of this is that I have no hope for Mass Effect 5 now ...

Funnily enough, I have a degree in it. Two, in fact.

I know the modern arguments. They're based on a false premise.

The truth hurts. Facts is, the new definition of 'they' is only in recent time. But they/them take it now as golden fact.

Thanks for highlighting this, had no idea. Maybe reach out to Grummz on X? Anyway, gotta spread the word. Also, take some of my points :)

I'm not on Twitter, but feel free to bring more attention to what EA did to the German version of this game. Thanks!

When you pick up an existing world for your new game you better make sure what you do fits in there.
It may be a good game, but it certainly does not fit anywhere near the first 3 games with this amount of focus on political bs.

Remember, leave a negative review before asking for a refund. This way it will stay there forever.

I just saw a screenshot of an excerpt in the Game:
https://mein-mmo.de/dragon-age-veilguard-review/#&gid=2&pid=1
"Ders Elefante im Raum"

I almost chocked on my Coffee just now. If I saw such a Message in-Game, I'd immediately turn it off and refund lol. I think it's always funny when I hear people complaining about being Anti-Woke, like it's some grand Crime against Humanity, Morals and Religion??.
My Brothers and Sisters in Christ, *that* is literally not German. Sounds like a Parody Script from a Skit in 2011 tbh.

As I read the text I heard the voice of Otto Mannkusser of Malcolm in the middle in my ear reading it to me! I am rolling on the floor right now! xD

It's hilarious how much language changing triggers people even though it's been happening since the beginning of time. Poor dears. I hope you all feel better soon.

They did the same on the Spanish version, they added the neo language made by trans activist because spanish doesn't have genderless pronoums so instead of translating They as "ellos/ellas" (masculine/femenine) those fcking activist translated it as "Elle" which is a word which didn't exist on spanish and only some mentally ill activist uses.

It's hilarious how you cannot see the difference of language changing NATURALLY over time versus being forced to change from above.

But let's keep playing dumb, huh.
