So, as requested, here's that same compilation again, but in German, for your hearing pleasure, but be warned, you might want to prepare yourself for a mild disappointment. 😂 No but I'm actually in tears right now, because half of these don't even sound like he'S BEING SARCASTIC?? LMAOOO

Look, I've talked about this so many times now, but I told you guys German Solas sounds like the most innocent little bean, so when he's making all these super snide remarks, it doesn't hit even remotely as hard as in English. 😂😂😂 Do you now understand what I mean when I tell you that German Solas feels like an entirely different character? lmaoo

A few things as a side note

The part where he tells Dorian "The technique is not Tevinter, it is Elven. But do go on about the wonders of Tevinter magic" I'm cRYING, he sounds GENUINELY excited and curious to hear more about it LMAO

You can tell he's trying SO HARD to sound as sinister as possible in that line about Bull in Trespasser. lmaoo

I had to take out the line where he goes "Please speak up! I cannot hear you over your outfit!" to Dorian, because that joke was sadly completely lost in translation. In the German version, he simply says "Please speak up! I can barely hear you over all the noise!"

"May you learn" is a perfect example for how German can take an effective little line and turn it into a whole monologue. lol There's a reason why the German party banter compilation is like a whole hour longer than the English one.

#you know what.. I think German Solas is basically Solas if he wasn't the Dread Wolf and only like 20 years old 😂#if that makes any sense? lol #the sass and bitterness of the English version is just not really coming across lol #how am I supposed to play DA4 in German if I can't take him seriously as a threat? 😂#I think it also has a lot to do with me being kinda used to hearing his VA voicing a lot of nerdy bubbly teenagers lol #solas #audio #language comparison #yours truly - the founder of the Ozan Ünal appreciation club
