So, about those Witcher dialogues...

[weirwood]

I know that the EE has rerecorded some of the dialogues. Nevertheless, I'm playing with the Polish VOs and English subtitles, and there are still a lot of minor dialogues that are still about three times as long as the English subs.

Is it worth bothering with 1eyedking's old fix, or is there some other way to get proper subtitles? Or are the old translation files too bug-riddled to bother with?

Eh, English subtitles also have the odd extension of lines that are just "tak" (which I assume is "yes"), like the boat between the swamp and town.


Are you ready to go?
Yes, why would I have payed you if I wasn't.

Jesus, that's an actual in-game line? Who did they hire? There are lots of subtleties in TW dialogue that may be difficult to translate but this is just stupid.

No, that's not an exact quote, but the basic gist is that while the polish voice just says "yes", the english subtitles adds a bit of snark about it.

Yeah I recall that. In the vanilla English version it takes like three "yes" dialogue choices just to get the fucking swamp ferry to take you to your destination.

There's some other bad ones even with the EE though that did help a lot.
