Localisation:

At long last, every Star Wars fan's dream has come true. Three thousand years before the rise of Darth Vader and the classic cult movies, the galaxy is war-torn and corrupted, and the former Galactic Republic, though victorious, has been shaken to its very foundations. In this time of insecurity, players can choose one of eight main classes and set out on their own path to glory. From the icy wastelands of Hoth and the deserts under the merciless twin suns of Tatooine to the vibrant urban quarters of Coruscant, players encounter a multitude of enemies, allies, and potential companions, and strive to master unexpected challenges.

The depth of the story and the realism of the environments are enhanced by the complete localisation of every single conversation in the game, for which an armada of experienced dubbing actors was employed. The full localisation of this epic project enables the players to immerse themselves in a role-playing experience on a scale with a motion picture.

Press Notes about
Star Wars: The Old Republic
19.01.2012
WAZ
"All of the dialogue for these 'quests' has been recorded. There is no need for tedious reading, as with rival products. The good German dubbing takes care of the rest."

23.12.2011
www.gamereactor.de
"The voice-overs are the best element of authenticity. Not only have the actors done their job extremely well, but the characters' facial expressions and gestures look excellent, too. The care taken during the recording process is further emphasised by the choice of well-known German dubbing actors."
22.12.2011
www.spieletipps.de
"What pleasingly distinguishes The Old Republic from other representatives of the genre such as Rift or World of Warcraft is the full VO for all dialogues and quest descriptions, even in German. In good German. That is the BioWare quality we are used to, and the game's most significant advantage."
21.12.2011
www.pcgames.de
"The world's first online RPG with full VO inspires us with its movie-like atmosphere (...) Star Wars: The Old Republic really sets new standards with regard to voice-over recordings (...) some bad guys sound even more villainous in German than in the original."

20.12.2011

"BioWare's narration technique, tried and tested in Mass Effect and Dragon Age, creates the illusion of an individual game story through its magnificently recorded multiple choice dialogues. (...) The positive impression is further enhanced due to the excellent writing and wonderful acting in both the English and the German version of the game."
