What is a godling?

[Devils4dvocate]

And there is an arthurian myth i woldn't mind CDRP include in TW3: Geralt slaying the Beast of Caerbannog:

Also, note what happens when you dont use potions before a battle and monsters don't autolevel. I like the camera behaviour during the combat, very natural, though.

Janek is a perfectly good boy's name

That's better. For English version "Johnny" may be a good translation, but not for Slavic or other languages, that's what I'm speaking about. You know, like "Jaskier" - it's "Dandelion" in English, "Marigold" in Czech, "Rittersporn" in German, "Lutik" in Russian and so on (not a perfect example, but that's the spirit)

I hope they'll go with Jaśko, more oldschool.

 

[addar]

not that im complainig, but is any main character in saga have "slavic oriented" name ? let me check: geralt?? nope, ciri? nope, yennefer? nope, Triss? nope , dandelion/jaskier-its nickname but at least Julian is slavic one, wanna more? vesmir, eskel, lambert and etc.....so why no johnny ?

 

[Nucta.397]

Johnny is SO english and SO modern, it doesn't fit fantasy world.
Johnny like Johnny Cash, Johnny Depp, name from real life.

If it's Janek (Jan) in Polish, can we have Ivan?
(Ванюша, Ванька)?
After all, it's the same name.

Guys, it's supposed to sound out of place, as indicated by Dijkstra's "Don't laugh" comment and Geralt's raised eyebrow. It's a little joke - this mysterious creature that even Geralt is unsure what it is, one of the last of its kind, and it's called... Johnny, of all things. That whole encounter is meant to be a bit humorous - the facepalm, the conversation about poop Geralt and Johnny have after he gets his voice back (mentioned in some articles) etc.

Er... Jaskier is translated as Marigold? Really?

Yep, and Triss Merigold sounds like Triss Ranuncul

When a female changeling and a male god love each other very much...

 

[wichat]

If I'm not wrong (correct me if I'm), I think that the names aren't be translated in the Spanish translation....

Johnny? Are you kidding me?

I'm surprised nobody made a thread about this already.
I don't want no Johnny, Nick, Jason or whatever English Name in my version of 'The Witcher 3' whatsoever.
Please RED, change it to a more Slavic Name. It's just ridiculous.

Everyone loves Johnny don't be ridiculous!

It's a fun name that lightens the situation in my opinion.

 

[BroccoliSouP]

Jesus. Does it really matter that much?

 

[Vigilance.492]

What's wrong with Johnny?

Do you also have a problem with Triss? Phillipa? Abigail? Alvin? ... Well, you get the point.

NO, I have a problem with Johnny.

 

[Sephira]

Poor Johnny, what has he done to you?

 

[Vigilance.492]

NO, I have a problem with Johnny.

Alright..........

:rly?:

 

[StaGiors]

Who has problems with a little kid? Come oooohnn!

Just poking fun at you. It is not that serious, I think CDPR chose the name just because his character is funny. He talks about poop all the time.

 

[Kinley]

NO, I have a problem with Johnny.

What did Johnny ever do to you?
