I also found that the German synchronisation is, while technically good, a bit weird.
For me the accents that the Bard and the Assasin (LOL, one of the funniest characters I know) have in the original add a lot to them, and the German voice of the Golem is quite stupid.
I am interested in knowing wether the same sex cutscenes have been "cut" in more "censoring" countries, given that both the Bard and the Assasin are bisexual.
The ritual of a certain Swamp witch is also amusing if you are female, convincing either Alistair or the secret other character to participate in it can lead to highly amusing situations.
Some random hints:
-mages rock
-certain spells (Inferno, Tempest, Blizzard, crushing prison, all curses) do not require line of sight, meaning that, in a dungeon, you can be behind a wall, send your thief (Leliana or Zevran) to scout the area and spam those spells on the totally hapless enemies.
-Use the famed tactic of "when self lower than 25% health, use health potion"
-Shatter (cone of Cold or petrify + Stone Fist or any critical hit) instantly kills regular enemies.
-Force Field is soooo overpowered....
Considering Banter, I can recommand Zevrans with anybody (especially Wynne and the "secret character" LOL), Shale with Sten, Shale with Leliana ("If I have a heart then only because I ate somebody who had one"), Sten with Leliana (Softiee!).
Oghren is quite a laugh too. Oghren trying to hit on Wynne is sooo priceless.
Considering the dude in the alley: You can convince him to go away with a persuade check, but killing him propably is mroe worthwhile.
Spoiler:
Certain characters can turn against you under certain circumstances.
-Both Wynne and Leliana will attack you if you destroy the urn of andraste
-Zevran will turn on you prior to the landsmeet if below I think 40 approval
-Shale will turn on you if you side with Branka.
I cannot imagine this in German. LOL.
I loved the banter between Zevran and Alistair after your character sleeps with alistair. LOL Zevran wants to give Alistair some hints on how to be a good lover. LMAO
English version Leliana is bisexual also, she sure does talk to much. I got the mod so that any person with magic can open locks just so I don't have to lug Leliana along with me to open locks. *howls with laughter* If your interested the mod is: Open Lock Spells

I finished the game and married Allistair and made him king and me queen. I started a new character now but I just adore Allistairs boy navie charm and love the banter between him and Morrigan/Wynne/Zevran.
Zevran is just too freaking funny and I cannot bed that guy so he usually stays in camp but I do take him out once in a while just to hear his banter. LOL
Wynne I found lifeforce set up in tactics for any alley is a freaking great thing. Especially once you get to the later parts of the game.
My order of quest were:
Ostagar (of course) Circle of Tower, Redcliff, Urn of ashes, Haven, Forrest, Orzamma, Denerim, then landsmeet stuff.
I had sten fight Loghain
Also I usually go into the forrest first just to buy tons of elf root so I can make a lot of greater potions as soon as possible.
I set wynne up to only heal and keep her in light armour, morrigan goes along just so she can drain life and use horror or sleep on archers, then it's Allistair and I on the front lines. It has worked with out dying so far on my 2nd character.
Oh funny banter indeed. That chick you get to learn a specialization from, I think she is in Denerim...oh when she ask you did you come here for """ or something else...save game first and say something else..then start the dialog to have a threesome...LMAO that was so funny!
I haven't tried to bed Shale yet..wonder what that would be like or if it is possible. Cannot imagine trying to swoon Sten either.
Oh yeah I also added the mod so that when I click on sleep with (NPC) you see the cutscene every time of the love making instead of just the one time. I tried very hard this time not to get Allistair to love me right away to test if he try to court you harder but nope. It is set by events in the game. Oh well, I'm just disappointed that there wasn't more banter at the end of the game after you beat landsmeet.
I suppose the expansion when it comes out will start off with Morrigan and the little thing she got to take with her in the end. (I won't spoil that part)
Mass Effect looks great graphically but it isn't my type of game. I don't like shoot em' up type games.
