The last game with great songs that I've played was satirical the Bard's Tale from inXile:

Loved that game. I have it installed, just need to sit down and actually play it (getting distracted by work and other games).

Although I agree that Dandelion's performances should be better in Witcher 1&2, I am against hiring a singer to deliver a top notch performance. Dandelion is a bard and not a singer as we know today, and bards where not bards because they had the best voice. They wrote catchy poems, and delivered it in a catchy way. My problem is that Dandelion's voice actor seems really uncomfortable singing, and he can't even make the songs sound interesting. It's like he's not even trying. CDPR should have tested for singing, when they were hiring a voice actor for Dandelion.

I got it only last year, when it came out for Linux for the first time. It was easily the best game of 2013 for me.

It's very fun and songs are performed very well. Definitely give it a go when you'll get time.

It has really hilarious moments like

undead break dance in the dungeon:

Yes, we talked about this topic some time ago.
So, if devs read the forum they must know it already, about fan's desire for Dandellion to actually sing in game.

What will we get?
No idea.
It is technically complicated, bad localization can make the song horrible, but at least they have to try. They had to see the tv series. It was bad in many parts, but one thing was perfect:

Completely agree.
The polish Zbigniew Zamachowski is the real Jaskier/Dandelion. Not only his voice is perfect but he also sings with passion... Just listen to this:


CD Projekt RED must have no ears if they didn't offer him a contract as Jaskier's voice actor. I would play the game in polish just to hear that voice.

Btw I leave you the lyrics from that song cause it is a great composition:

Polish
Ja wiem, ja wiem, że gór tych siedem jest
Wiem też, wiem też, przejść muszę siedem rzek!
I ciągle dal, za dalą dal, zawieja, żar i kurz.
I nie wiem nawet już, czy tam gdzieś będzie kres.

Już w żadnych oczach nie będziesz mieszkać mógł.
Już w każdych włosach zobaczysz wstęgę dróg!
I ciągle dal, za dalą dal, śnieżyca, żar i kurz.
I nie wiem nawet już, czy tam gdzieś będzie kres.

Pisze do ciebie takie rzeczy, bo wiem, że ty to rozumiesz i czujesz
A że ta ka rzadko piszę to dlatego, że nie starczy mi sił na wszystko.
Pisze do ciebie również nie dlatego, że szukam pomocy czy pocieszenia.
Ty wiesz, jak daleko zapędziłam się i wiesz, że nikt pomóc raczej nie może.
To jest sprawa między mną a mgłą.

Już wiem dlaczego zaszumiał nagle wiatr.
I słyszę mówi, że w drogę na mnie czas.
I ciągle dal, za dalą dal, zawieja, żar i kurz.
I nie wiem nawet już, czy tam gdzieś będzie kres...


English (google translator)
I know, I know, that these seven mountains is
I also know I also know I have to go seven rivers!
I still gave, for the away distance, snowstorm, heat and dust.
I do not know even now whether there will be an end somewhere.

Already in any eyes you will not be able to live.
Already under all the hair you see a ribbon of road!
I still gave, for the away distance, snowstorm, heat and dust.
I do not know even now whether there will be an end somewhere.

Writing you these things, because I know that you understand and feel
And that this path rarely write it because I did not have enough strength for anything.
He writes to you, too, not because I'm looking for help or consolation.
You know how far he drove up, and you know that no one can hardly help.
This is a matter between me and fog.

I know why suddenly the wind hummed.
I hear says that the way my time.
I still gave, for the away distance, snowstorm, heat and dust.
I do not know even now whether there will be an end somewhere ...

You make fair points, its tempting to agree, and certainly theres little equivalence between ye olde bards & modern singers... but bards traditionally had their own "method" too: metre, rhyme, memory recall, charisma all creating an identifiable style. Sometimes these were even taught in schools, thats how its was in Gaelic Ireland anyway, where the highest grade bards could hold status equal to kings, even depose one with a well aimed slander (a blemish on honour was analogous to a physical blemish which was a general geis denying kingship).

So I would still expect the Witcherworlds top Troubadour to put on a good show ;)

Aye, have to agree this guy is good, and why not a song in Polish for everyone?

(btw: I don't speak Polish, but last year played both games in Polish with English subs, and it's an experience I heartily recommend to everyone!)
