How would the German speakers at the 'Watch describe him?
Just ask him ! Do a right-click on him and ask him !
Do other NPCs from the first game make an appearance? (Dranor, Jost, Ancoron, Traldar, Nasreddin and Rhulana?)
Sorry, but no. The game is set too many years
before the main game, I guess.
There is only one NPC you'll meet again - and that is at the "customs fortress", as I call it … After you've tidied it up, of course.
Edit : There is one thing a German community member has found out :
In Drakensang 1 there is the very first cutscene of when the oracle speaks.
Within the crowd there is one fighter from the Arena …
