The paintings looked as if they were real paintings in the game. I forgot if 
I asked you , have you been to Ludwig's castle?

I havent gone back to the link you sent me for the characters in the game, 
but I would have said Xavier was German.

I never noticed much about the police detective though I remember him. I 
don't remember Wolf Muser either.

What about the guy who looked after or had an office near where the wolves 
were kept and Gabriel went there one day and talked to him? I can't remember 
the guys name. He sounded German to me.

You are German I presume? so you would notice if characters were German by 
small things in the way they speak.
