I wanted to bring that up for the opposite reason.

I live in France and the 2 first ME and DA:O didn't offer the option to play in English. I think that the english version will always be more worked than any translation, whatever the game, but in this particular case all the voice actors were the same which is quite disturbing: Liara-Leliana, Loghain-TIM (and even Bishop from NWN2-Alistair) had the same voice actor for example, and I believe that all the non-followers character in all three game were voiced by less than 10 actors in total. 

Moreover, translations is quite difficult in Dragon Age's case since there are a lot of accents which are IMO really important. However, using an Orlesian accent while speaking french is pretty hard for example.

Anyway just please give the option between local language and original language

Thank you

^    I live in Germany and I'm playing DAO at the moment in English (with German subtitles. I would have preferred English subtitles to go along with the spoken language but I don't think there are any). I guess you have to choose "English" when you install the game. The same is true for Mass Effect. You could switch the language, but not via the option menu.

 

However, I fully support the cause here. It would be awesome if there would be multiple languages included and if we, the players, could easily change the language in the menu, like on a DVD.

Caja: I played on Xbox and you can't change the language in-game in any Bioware game. It is possible in DA2 if you change your Xbox language to English, and for Mass Effect 3 you had to download the English voices through Xbox Live, but I think there is no way to do that in the other Mass Effect and in DA:O

I think it mostly about disk space, as including VO for two languages would require a lot of space. Thatsaid I would much appreciate it as "free dlc" so you can download any VO that is not on the disk.

probably too much of an investment for not enough gain...personally i would never play a game in my native language (dutch) . Even in the fifa games where the language is available i always play in english

I would even pay something more (DLC style) to have DAI dubbed in Italian. I can read english quite well, but I can't understand a thing of the spoken (the VA speak too quickly, so I understand only few parts of the dialogue. and the different accents don't help), expecially the banter. I always had to stop playng and spin the camera to read the sub on the head of the companions.

Very unpratical, and immersion breaking.

 

And is quite bad even with the cutscene. I end up not looking at the expressions of the characters (and with the new frostbite is truly a pity) to read what they are sayng.

 

Of course many people prefer the english dub, and I understand them. The perfect thing would be somethin like Dragon's Dogma and Ni No Kuni, where you can choose the talked language, english or japanese. In the case of DAI, it would be great having the english and the language of the localization of the copy of the game.

But the PC-disk already had multiple languages on it. The only thing that was missing was an option to switch between the languages. More precisely, an option to change the language in the menu. For instance, you could edit the file "BIOengine.ini" in Mass Effect 1 and change the language that way. Therefore, my little request is: If there are multiple languages anyway, allow us to change them easily  so everybody can use the language he/she is most comfortable with.

 

I looooved the voice acting in Mass Effect and I worship the ground that Jennifer Hale (female Shepard) walks on. The German voice acting wasn't nearly as good in my opinion. Of course, this is something I only notived after I had installed the game in German  and played it for about an hour. When I realized that I wanted to try out the English version, I had to quit the game, do a Google search to find out how to change the language and then I had to edit the file I mentioned above. It was much more convenient in Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3 (here it was indeed in the options menu if I'm not mistaken).

 

Sorry, I completely forgot about console players in my earlier post.  Well, a download like a DLC for the desired language pack will do, too, as long as it is easy to use.

I Want to join those who asking for language choise in menu. I'm from Ukraine and I want play it in English whilst in pre-order description only Russian available. It would be fair to make as option English as original game language + one of local.

As long it is a choice. Personally I favor the original voice actors and English subtitles. Finnish just sounds too goofy when we're talking about fantasy terms... I cannot read it and take it seriously. Also, I learnt more English by playing video games using the English subtitles and listening well the dialogue if they were spoken. School books and their dull "Jenny went to the store and bought five bananas, three apples and a magazine"-stories just didn't caught my attention well enough...
