Doug Cockle, the voice actor behind Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher games, puts his recall and delivery to the test by attempting to complete a selection of memorable lines from the series.
A voice closely tied to Geralt
Cockle’s performance helped define Geralt for many players, making this short challenge a treat for fans of story-driven games and game voice acting. The format is simple: familiar lines are presented, and Cockle has to supply what comes next.
Test your own memory
The appeal comes from recognising the moments behind the words. The Witcher series is packed with quests, characters and conversations that have stayed with players, so even a partial line can bring a particular scene to mind.
Watch the feature through RETROCADE’s collection of arcade videos, then compare your memory with Cockle’s attempts. For more gaming and arcade coverage, visit the RETROCADE Arcade Blog.
Why game voices matter
Memorable performances can give a game its identity long after the screen is switched off. In Geralt’s case, Cockle’s distinctive delivery is closely associated with the character and the world he inhabits.
