1st: The voice of a merc may be her/his most important aspect for me,
as after all the yearss i have reason to believe that even the crappiest merc can be transformed into a battlemonster,
that is if his personality/voiceset motivates me enough to put the required effort into the campaign.


I am native german speaker, and played the german version 1st, for ~ 1+y or so?
That may create a bias towards that version (ymmv), but I really prefer the english voices.
Mostly as some of the german voice acting is too far off for me, particularly Razor and Cougar,
(a sacrilegue to replace Shawns voice with that high pitched something ;)
while some german voices are certainly on par with the english ones.

Additionally german localisations in general tend to have more restrictions regarding foul language, violence etc,
so a usually play english versions.
Last not least german terms are often quite long, so translations may break the limits of txt message windows/cells,
requiring workaround like smaller fonts etc.

Btw doesnt the original german version require a patch to show xploding heads etc?
