Tormentfan: Arcania is self explanitory and certainly won't be missed....but what's Götterdämmerung?
Sorry - it's 1am here and I'm in need of my bed. I of course meant Forsaken Gods. Götterdämmerung was the original German name.

If you want to get deep into German, just go to the thread I mentioned above to grab the translation patch and then take Baldur's Gate or Baldur's Gate 2. Those games require lots of reading and it is mostly in very well written German.

If you want to get used to the language itself, I think instead of playing a game you should watch some movies in German. Or you simply meet some people here and just talk to them. Should be no problem for you by tomorrow. :)

Oh for sure. I mean, I'll be working and talking to bureaucrats for registration and such on a daily basis, and my colleagues will all be German speakers.

I'm also aware of the dangers of retreating to English options, which is why I'm trying to give myself entertainment choices that keep me in the language. I've been watching only German movies for the last month; I just finished the White Ribbon and Das Boot.

It's good to know that Baldur's Gate I and II have good quality German. I'll go to those first. Thanks!

Of the GOG games I know that Beyond Good and Evil has German voiceovers. If you're learning the language and you like Point-and-Click adventures, you could also consider buying some originally German games here, like The Book of Unwritten Tales, The Whispered World or Edna & Harvey The Breakout ("Edna bricht aus").

(German translations and voiceovers of "foreign"-language games are seldom very good, so if I were you, I'd try to learn with originally German stuff.)

EDIT: D'oh, Etna87 already said it. I know I should have read the thread more carefully, sorry. Well, I agree with Etna87! ;)
