Well you see, I got the first game a few years ago, installed it, it seemed fun until the point I realized it had more dialogue than other rpg games I played in the past. That wouldn't be much of a problem if the spanish dubbing WASN'T SO NIGHTMARISH BAD.
So the question is, are the english voices good? If you say yes, I might give it a try again and turn on subtitles, I don't really want to miss this great game just for that, but trust me, I almost cried when I heard those voices...

I tried to look, but only found Spanish subtitles...you'd think if people named there video in Spanish, they wouldn't voice them in english, but maybe that's how bad it is.

I always play games in English language but Witcher is the exception. I just can't play this one in English, polish version is just too good.

Does it have subtitles in other languages that you can switch on to read then while listening to Polish?

Yes, you can use any combination of voices and subtitles.

Yeah the English voice acting is fine, I believe they even re-did a few of them on the 'Enhanced Edition' (the one you're undoubtedly playing already).
It's not, say... The Walking Dead, but I've really enjoyed the game, including the voice acting.

Really? My biggest issues with The Witcher is the terrible voice acting. It's just so monotone and awful...

Go for the english dub. I don't think there's anything cringeworthy (as a general rule, I always go english voices + subtitles).

No hay ningun juego que tenga buenas voces en castellano , porque contratan gente sin talento , por eso siempre es mejor ingles que normalmente contratan gente experimentada (no siempre -_-) o idioma original con subs. o:

Usually I try to play/watch things in the language of the thing's creators, but for the Witcher series unfortnately that means I can't tell if the acting is good or bad. :) Sounded like Polish, though. :)

Heard my nephew playing a bit with the English voices and it didn't sound too bad, so give that a try if you prefer. :)

English voices aren't bad, they're pretty good actually, but they are still not better than Polish :D
As a native from Poland, I'm playing most of the games in Eng because I hate translations which are mostly
not done correctly (especially easy to tell in films).
But Witcher series is the only one I would never switch to English.

So go with whichever language you want both Polish and English dubs are made fine.

PS. I randomly turned on steamgifts and this was the first thread on main page, go figure chances of that :D
Summon techniques are scary xD

People say the "polish language with english subs" is the #pcmasterrace option but I went with both being English since I couldn't be arsed with the polish and it was fine. I've played through the first game and I'm in chapter 2 on W2 and it's still good... there might be some weird hiccups here and there but meh, I'll allow it.

I never played it in another language, but I thought the english subtitle very good. It really is worth it, the game is awesome.

Las voces en español son pésimas. Lo mejor que puedes hacer es eso, poner las voces en inglés y los subtítulos en español desde las opciones, así es como he estado jugando yo hasta ahora.

I checked both, English to hear how it is and polish to remind myself it. I'm must say that even if english is good i suggest like other people to use polish voice and <their language> subtitles. After all, voice acting is to feel emotions in voice of character. Ofc if it is unconfortable you can just play on english voice.
