Hi there, i just bought this game because it looks very interesting. But right at the beginning he talks about 5 people, but there are only 4. The subtitle says 4 too, but i looks like there should be another person on the pedestal in the middle and now i'm confused.
Should i install the english version?

They cut a whole character in the german version. And as far as i could find out you can't complete the game because of this. But luckily it is no problem to switch to the english version.

Install the English version and use the German Patch from here.

Then you have English speech and German subtitles with all character.
The fifth character (Nimdok) is fan translated.
