If I'm not mistaken, Kardiophylax showed a lot of class with that comment. How ironic that Harkatim was being exactly what he was ripping on us Americans for....oh the irony....I knew it was only a matter of time until...oh nevermind.To the topic at hand, Due to the setting and nature of the game, I would have rather preferred an Eastern European accent, but to be honest, as long as it's "acted" correctly, I'm good to go.Kardiophylax said:
Hi from Spain. Only two points:1º I like the voice in English dubbing, sound good. 2º But Will be Gerald dubbing to spanish? Can I hear some explame?I fell a litte bit worry about de Spanish dubbing because a bad dubbing can change a great and serius game to comic and bad game... I hope that dont happen with the Witcher. PD: Sorry for my horrible english, I didnt use it for long time ago.
hi; portuguese witcher here 8) eheh; here in portugal we don't have dubbing problems b'cause our tv passes all the movies/programs in the original language with subtitles in portuguese, we are used to the english and french since kids 
i think the english in geralt's voice is perfect but i do agree that there's probably something lost from the polish original :
i think the english in geralt's voice is perfect but i do agree that there's probably something lost from the polish original :Hello Its my again:Finally my nightmare was true.... The spanish Dubbing is horrible, and even the traslation. Only in the intro of the gain I can detect to mistake in it:In the spanish version says "That history beggings 5 yeras BEFORE the Great War... " instead of "After de Great War..." Atari mistake "After" with "Antes", the spanish word for Before... Another mistake similar its the badint will get 30 orens instead of 50 orens for every Witcher... Again mistake Fiftieh with fiteen because for spanish people sound soo similar....That is a bad new for a great game.... But almost the game its multilanguage and I playing in english. ;DBut I hope someday CD Project can make a pacth to use one Language and other subtitles in the same instalation... I will great listing the great english voices and can read all in spanish (because my girlfriend dont understand all english words in the cinematics... too fast reading its you need a Dictionary)

Have just finished the game and have been holding off adding a comment until now.Overall the English dubbing for this game is good and the choice of actors appropriate.The accents also seem appropriate with the possible exception of the Fisher King, but he only has the one true line.Whilst the inflection does leave something to be desired on occasions, there are only a couple of errors in translation, such as "Fault" when it should have been "Fought" being one.Please use the same people again in any extension of the game.
While not quite finished, I just wanted to re-iterate how good the English voice acting is. The actor for Geralt is superb, and so are the supporting cast. Even though I can read the subtitles faster than the actors speak their lines, I have not yet clicked through any character speech unless I had heard it before; that's how much I like it. It really adds to the immersion. Like the poster above me, I would be happy to hear the same cast in any future games/sequels.Just one fantastic aspect of an amazingly good game (and again, I'm only up to Murky Waters).BladeHeart said:
Hmm, not bad but I prefer polish version of Geralt's voice. It appeals to me more and works witm my imagination
Overall its not bad voice acting, as far as the english version goes.I think it would be much appropriate and originals if geralt had a slavic accent to his english. As it is he comes of almost as a pure Englishman ...which he is not.Having a slavic accent would greatly help show his personality that must be different from generic english, Anglo-saxon people.However, as the dialogue is really badly cut in places it affects voice cover too. Its specialy annoying when Geralt shouts "How?" in every conversation.Or shots "Who are you?" (or something simmilar) even if he knows that person.Details often mean much in things like these, but considering this is their first game... and all,... its pretty good.
Hiya! First post here, will look around a bit more tomorrow; this is the first interesting topic that I saw, I'm sure to find many more I think that Geralt's English voice dubbing is quite good, but also quite a distance away from perfect. The voice itself in its tone fits very well, and I think that all the talk about what accent he should have to make all the game more "realistic" is kind of... you know, the game is not set in Europe or even in our world. Of course there are remarks, scenes and landscapes that might remind one of our own world, but I for myself am completely satisfied with all characters (including Geralt) speaking proper English with that kick-ass accent. I really like it. Anything resembling "the real world" more is a can, but not a must for me.What I dislike a bit is that Geralt sounds just a bit TOO cool in some situations. There are also some scenes in which he "explodes" emotionally and raises his voice, but in many situations the dubbing lacks emotions of all kind, be it arousal, anger, suspicion or anything else (irony is what he does best, haha). It's a bit monotone at times, a bit too often for my taste. But it's still great compared to the shit other game creators call "voice dubbing", and so I'm even happier when Geralt's voice gets more emotional every now and then.So long

I miss the first version of that game. It was amazingly good for game with such awful graphics. Worst voice acting, Resident Evil series! "Jell, where's Jell?" Most famous line ever. I personally think Garalt's voice fits him well in English.Krs said:
