I agree! I‘m German myself and was very excited when the German accent came out, though I quickly realized that - like basically all others - it could end up being rather hard to understand people. As funny as that is sometimes, it can get a little annoying in important situations. In the end, I just removed the trait and did the accent manually, which allows for some extra quirks hier and zhere.
I think there are two ways of implementing that low-mid-high accent strength system. The easiest one would be changing the probability of a given word being replaced with its accent version. The main drawback would be inconsistency: In one sentence, Mr. Schmidt pronounces “the” perfectly, in the other, it turns to a “zhe”. The other option would be making the list of replaceable words shorter, though that could end up being more tricky.
