(english voice) I absolutely dig it

I like it and, for me, it suits him. I can see how many might find it cliched but I think what makes me accept it is what he actually says. It's in line with how I imagine him.

If he had that gravely voice AND spouted impossibly grumpy and macho lines all the time then it would make me cringe. He doesn't though. He talks in a matter of fact kind of way, from a lifetime of experience, travelling on the road, dealing with all manners of hardship. It's a voice that echos his blunt, grim view of the world rather than a need to 'act tough'.

It's a fine line to walk though and occasionally there might be a slip up. For example, that multiple choice scene in the tavern when he says 'Go away, or I'll kill you', didn't sound right to me but I don't mind as long as those occasions are rare.

I also think his tone is why I find it more amusing when he's being sarcastic or humorous in a cynical way and also more meaningful when he's trying to figure out the morality of his choices.

Terrible poll.

I vote for my own option "Perfect voice actor - awesome voice".

After seeing a lot of gameplay footage with Geralt talking, I noticed that he uses his raspy, whispering voice a ton. I only hope it doesn't stay that way the entire game. Like before, he would only use that type of voice occasionally. Playing through The Witcher 2 again and he mainly talks with a normal, deeper voice with only a bit of raspiness behind it. Just sounds a bit forced or exaggerated if he talks like that ALL the time.

Know what I mean? You can hear it very well in IGN's first 15 mins of TW3.

The Downwarren gameplay is an example of what I hope it sounds like most of the time: https://youtu.be/gdinzNN93-M?t=7m19s It has the perfect mix of roughness and normal.

It's perfect, especially with Geralt's witty-and-pokerface sarcasms.
