Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Review and Gameplay
The epic conclusion to The Witcher trilogy


Voice-acting

This is one of the most entertaining conversations in the entire game. Take the road by the lake and don't miss it!

Instead of talking about sound, which is something that game companies don't get wrong anymore, let's talk about voice-acting. With all these fancy cutscenes and recorded dialogue, it's becoming more and more important to have the right voices for characters. So far, Witcher doesn't disappoint. Quite the contrary!

Geralt's voice actor was always top notch and only gets better with each reincarnation. All the main characters have decent and specific voices. By specific I mean that you can usually recognize them by voice alone. They have character. Most importantly, there's always that one character with that one slap-across-the-face amazing voice. Do you remember the detective, Raymond Maarloeve, from the first game? I certainly remember talking to him way more often than needed, just to hear him say "White Wolf".

Witcher 3 also has one such voice to leave you dumbstruck in awe (or jumping on the edge of your seat with goofy cheer). The actor for Emperor Emhyr. To avoid spoiling it for anyone, I'm just going to say it's this guy. Don't click if you don't want to know! May I add it's the most goddamn appropriate casting decision ever made in the history of gaming? Okay, maybe not the entire history, but it's pretty far up there.
