The biggest problem that needs to be fixed next patch

"He was once a great mage, but now lives like a rat in a sinking vessel. You have questions for Ormus and doubt in yourself. Ormus sees a strange dichotomy in you... as he does in all would-be heroes. Speak to him and he may grant you wisdom in turn. Or turn from him and seek wisdom in thyself."

:old:

(a wave of nostalgia flows through me... now I imagine what would cities of Warriv, Gheed, Lysander and Geglash look like and what yould their bonuses be :) )
 
Wow. I'm amazed. For once the localization (German) is actually much much much better than the original:

In English he sounds like someone reading a book in front of an audience about how he conquered these natives. In German he actually sounds like I'd imagine a native jungle guru dude (sounds like he's a bit dumb (but very nice) - it's only some minor flaws in his wordings though as he doesn't speak in his native language of course).

I have played Diablo 2 with both localizations (several years each). Strangely enough, I find the English Ormus much better - the introduction has more depth and conveys his character better. There are some NPCs however that I prefer in German (Nihlatak, Charsi, Hratli)

If I remember correctly in the German version the voice actor for Cain changed from D2 Vanilla to LoD... that was super awful :lol:
Other than that they did a pretty good job with it (as expected for Blizzard). Still preferring English any day though.
