Since I can't keep that up very long, I often fall back into normal language. Sometimes, not always, when I DM, I use different speech patterns, and often include using High German, to distinguish NPTs.Since the speaker of one German dialect often considers other German dialects funny/silly, we don't use those. It would not make the NPT distinguished, but would reduce him to a comedy stunt.I remember the German version of BG1, where one voice-set you could choose for your character was this awful Saxon atrocity.I don't like those overdone accents you often see in movies. (Probably because I'm German, I'm sure many French don't like hearing English with a Cheesy French accent) The only thing worse for me than an (often American) actor trying to speak English in a German accent (or worse yet, to speak German and utterly failing) is a German trying to speak English and failing at that. Whenever I hear "se" (the) or "sis" (this), I wince.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
