Does this work? Ironically, yes, but for different reasons. The native English performance is raw and immediate. The translated English pack (e.g., a German actor speaking English for a German audience) creates an additional layer of Verfremdungseffekt (distancing effect). The non-native English feels slightly synthetic, reminding the player that they are watching a dramatization of a global event. This distance actually serves the game’s branching morality. By making Menendez’s voice slightly less "organic" in the pack, the player is more likely to judge his actions by logic rather than emotional manipulation—a fascinating, unintended consequence of linguistic outsourcing.
