How much of the MQ is left after you gather all your allies to Kaer Morhen? My interest tends to drop drastically in free roam games after completing the MQ so I've not advanced past that.

Kaer Morhen is the end of Act II, there's also an Act III though I think it's the shortest one. You are nearing the end but still have some way to go. I wouldn't worry before you get the quest 'Final Preparations'.

'On Thin Ice', which actually is many quests after 'Final Preparations'. It's a pretty long game.

... being quite busy irl these days, I just don't have time to finish the game.

I see where you are coming from. I had to sacrifice a lot of night sleep to complete it. Still recuperating. I want to do another playthrough, but it's not like I will be able to spare so much time in the upcoming months.

I strongly disagree. The voice sounds very odd to me coming from Geralt's... well, face.

It's definitely something to get used to, he's almost a different character. I really like Doug Cockle's Geralt and I think of Geralt as soon as I hear his voice, but Jacek Rozenek's version is interesting and far from how I'm used to envisioning him, sounds somewhat colder, and has a deeper and less gruff voice than the Clint Eastwood-ish Cockle. I've read Polish speaking people say that much of the other Polish voice acting is pretty B-grade, regrettably. What's your opinion, Falka (or other Polish speaker)?

Yennefer sounds a lot like her English counterpart, I think:

Now I think the English voice acting for Geralt is pretty decent, but I do prefer the way this Polish guy sounds. I get that his ironic tone of English Geralt is a way to represent his "world-weariness" as a guy that is a century old, but he comes across to me as a huge douchenozzle full of youthful pride and petty arrogance. The Polish guy sounds more mature and weary in a way that he has seen it all and came out mature, collected and somewhat indifferent.

The general opinion among polish reviewers and players is that Rozenek as Geralt is very good and I do agree with that. Some other voices are subpar, but what's much worse, a lot of voice actors are well known from other games and movies. It really breaks immersion when you know half the voices from other titles. That's ofc not a problem for non polish gamers. Though there's another problem. W3 was made with english version as a main one in mind and looks like lips movement is fully synchronized only in english version. From time to time it definitely feels a bit off in polish version. All in all, I prefer english version  :wink:

PS. I'm a huge fan of audiobooks, have heard them multiple times and in there Geralt is voiced by some other actor, who's by far my most favourite Geralt. So that's kinda annoying for me to hear Rozenek as Geralt, even though objectively he's very good  :wink:

The annoying thing about the English version is that it very much feels like playing Batman of Rivia.

Yes, this is the same vibe I get.

I've heard many others say the same, are these the Polish or English audio books?

Also, it's a minor thing and I know it's an industry standard, but it kinda irks me that the main characters have to speak American English while everyone else speaks different dialects. Somewhat looking forward to California drying entirely up (which seems to be happening in the not so distant future).

World-weariness? The English voice of Geralt literally says: I have seen and am tired of everyone's shit. Yes, he also sounds superhero-ish in comparison to the Polish version, but I think he deserves that much.
