Not how I imagined Ciri's voice. Always had a more "girly" voice in my mind's eye. Not really happy about the choice, but well I will probably play the game in german anyway so I can still hope her german voice will be more fitting (imo)
 
Keep in mind we haven't heard her voice act Ciri herself. A good voice actor will always follow the direction he/she is given, and in this case I expect CDPR to give excellent direction in order to make Ciri sound as "genuine" as possible. :)

Thats what I thought too... lets hope for the best... to me it sounds like she can pull it off

Yea I was just about to reply with something like this... I hope CDPR have better directors and a more 'specific' voice they want to achieve for Ciri.

And I believe they will, because they could have very easily just told Charles Dance to not bother, do his normal voice and everyone will still love it, but they've clearly got him doing an accent and really going for it, so I trust they've got a plan for Ciri. At least I hope so, because I never played as female Hawke and just watching a bit of that clip she sounds very, very flat, but I can hear the potential there in the voice...

Well... Hawke is flat
 
Ah, interesting. I like her voice, even if her delivery is kinda bland in DA2. It's not how I imagined Ciri, but that's probably because I'm imagining Ciri as a teen, not a young woman. And like Kinley and Vigiliance.4whatthefuck said, the directing she receives is important.
 
Well... Hawke is flat

True, but from memory Male Hawke still had at least a little more charisma and charm behind the Voice than what I'm hearing in that video for Fem Hawke. However I admit, it is an unfair judgment as my memory is a little fuzzy on DA2 and not to mention I've got an entire game with M Hawke VS watching 5 minutes of a random assortment of lines by F Hawke.

Actually I was just watching a bit of her performance as the Imperial Agent in SWTOR, and that definitely seems like a better and less flat performance. Even still, there's going to be a big difference between playing a character like in most BioWare titles like Hawke or Shepard, where they are designed to be a bit more flat so you can self-insert better, and a character in a Witcher game which is very specific. So as I said, I can hear the voice potential there, and knowing the great work the VA directors did in TW2, and so far from what we've heard in TW3 that standard appears to be the same if not higher, I have no doubt she has the talent to be an amazing Ciri.

I've played the 3 possible personalities of F Hawke (I like to try everything! I'm curious... like a cat... wait..¿?) and she doesn't do it wrong. To me, she get it. But... well, the character itself doesn't give many options.... And with unecpressive faces... well.. no more comment.

But I can imagine her as a rude Ciri, she is young, but so old too...
 
Let's turn the hype machine a few notches up by transferring some news from the Polish side of the forum, where our dear Community Manager shared following news:

- there will be plenty of gameplay materials until release
- a developer diary should be released this month

:victory:
If I don't get my lengthy combat focused video on the highest difficulty I'll ragequit.

And then skulk back.
