In the brazilian translation they were really playful. Including jokes where there weren't originally, for exemple, but i think they fit very well with the world. Here Dex ask something that would translate to english as "Bull under the shadow or finger in the ass and shouting?". Boi na sombra (Bull under the shadow) is an expression for living a quiet life. Dedo no cu e gritaria (finger in the ass and shouting) is more of a modern slur for the opposite. I'd like to know If they were as playful in other languages.

Dex não morreu e vai jogar no Vasco
I love good localization rather than translations. That’s super cool, thanks for sharing that.
That’s hilarious from a North American perspective. For the English version they went with something like “a quiet life or a blaze of glory”. Blaze of glory sounds like a common phrase but a finger in the ass and shouting might make its way into my day to day conversation now 😂
The Br localization is absolutely fantastic
Thankfully I didn’t use pt/br subs
Maybe it’s because I bought the North American version, but I didn’t see any option to change the game to either of the only languages I’m fluent in outside of English: Bahasa Indonesia.
eu fico com o dedo no cu e gritaria, faz mais meu estilo
That is a fantastic phrase. I need to keep that as general knowledge
In Russian it’s:
To be nobody and quietly live until you’re old or make a history and give your soul to God before you hit 30?
It’s pretty boring in comparison with OPs version tbh
Original is:
Быть никем и спокойно дожить до старости или вписать свое имя в историю и отдать богу душу еще до 30?
German: Was ist dir lieber? Ein Leben als Nobody, der uralt wird – oder ruhmreich draufgehen?
It’s something Like “What do you prefer? A life as a nobody who lives to a ripe old age – or dying in glory?” in English.
Would you like finger but whole?
Quiet life or blaze of glory?
I don’t know, I use English subtitles
Man, I would love to see (hear) a german Cyberpunk:Edgerunners-style dub
Games aren’t translated to my language, at all.
And I play in English since early 00’s so actually I have no clue what Dex said in my native lang
