Now, it\u2019s likely that \u201cFrench\u201d will immediately come to your mind, and you would be quite right; many of the place names in the region are based on places in France or have French meanings: Bastoy Prison (based on Bastille Prison); M\u00e8re-Lachaiselongue (based on the P\u00e8re-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris); Sansretour Marsh (meaning \u201cMarsh of No Return\u201d); and the Beauclair Palace, which does not look too dissimilar to France\u2019s Mont Saint-Michel castle. If you delve deeper into the game, you will find many, many more examples like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the region\u2019s landscapes are not only French-influenced. Toussaint takes huge inspiration from the wine and olive regions across the Mediterranean: southern France but also northern Italy, Greece, Portugal, and Spain. While the architecture of the towns is a little more distinct: akin to Italy\u2019s Renaissance architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"342\" src=\"https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Toussaint-1-1024x342.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Toussaint-1-1024x342.png 1024w, https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Toussaint-1-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Toussaint-1-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Toussaint-1.png 1315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Toussaint looks very much like the wine regions in the Mediterranean.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about the accents? Surely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdprojektred.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CD Projekt RED<\/a> must have enlisted Mediterranean voice actors for the people of Toussaint? Curiously, they didn\u2019t. In fact, the team felt that these accents were already \u201ctoo parodied\u201d in many other video games and so they wanted something a little less common: Danish. This, of course, also provided a real profound contrast with the region\u2019s Mediterranean vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The City of Novigrad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying with this contrast, we move to another region: the metropolis city of Novigrad (meaning \u201cnew city\u201d in Croatian). As the city was considered a real melting pot, with a large populace, CD Projekt RED again went back to trusty British accents \u2013 this time using \u2018London estuary\u2019 accents, which are like a slightly \u201cless posh\u201d version of \u201creceived pronunciation\u201d, and common in the south-east of England. However, once again, the game\u2019s visuals completely contrasted against the accent choice, as Novigrad was based heavily on the Polish city of Gdansk. For example, the Crane on Novigrad docks stands prominently in Gdansk\u2019s harbor, while Novigrad\u2019s Hierarch Square features Prussian architecture, which is also found in the center of Gdansk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Novigrad-1024x344.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Novigrad-1024x344.png 1024w, https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Novigrad-300x101.png 300w, https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Novigrad-768x258.png 768w, https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Novigrad.png 1298w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Novigrad Right: the Polish city of Gdansk.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Use of Northern American Accents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Readers from North American may be wondering if their accents were featured in the game, and indeed they were. Geralt, no less, spoke with an American accent, as did the other Witchers \u2013 named in-game as a \u2018Rivian\u2019 accent. The use of Northern American accents and their contrast to the more prominent European ones helped to create a feeling that the Witchers were somehow \u2018other worldly\u2019. This concept of \u2018otherness\u2019 was also behind the team\u2019s decision to choose Germanic accents for the invading Nilfgaardian soldiers; the contrast of their accent with the more prominent British and Irish ones helped to underpin that they were foreigners, outsiders, to the land of Temeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"399\" src=\"https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Beauclair-1024x399.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Beauclair-1024x399.png 1024w, https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Beauclair-300x117.png 300w, https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Beauclair-768x299.png 768w, https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Beauclair.png 1295w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The Witcher<\/em>&#8216;s Beauclair Palace looks very much like France\u2019s Mont Saint-Michel castle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By using \u2018otherness\u2019 it meant that English-speaking gamers were specifically exposed to a huge variety of accents, which potentially had a more emotional impact on gamers. In comparison, this was not possible in other languages. For example, in the original Polish version, the accents were less diverse because in modern-day Poland it\u2019s thought that there simply aren\u2019t that many accents. Additionally, for other languages \u2013 like Chinese \u2013 CD Projekt RED faced huge restrictions because they simply had a smaller pool of voice actors to choose from. Therefore, accent choice was a big undertaking, and when you think about the different ways characters spoke in-game \u2013 for example, those in rural areas \u2013 you realize how well the localization team performed in translating the scripts from Polish into different variations of \u2018spoken English\u2019 to enrich the characters\u2019 personalities and elicit an emotional response from gamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just remember, each place or monster name or accent that you encounter probably has <a href=\"https:\/\/terralocalizations.com\/2022\/11\/16\/the-localization-of-the-witcher-leshy-sized-translation-obstacles-on-the-path-to-localization-paradise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a deeper meaning<\/a> attached to it!
