Geralt's va completely sold me on the presence of American accents in fantasy medieval settings though. It never once felt out of place to me.

Brits didn't speak with the accent now used in games or historical dramas back in medieval times anyways so it isn't like one is more authentic than the other anyway.

Its easier to make them speak in English than to invent a new language for each species. Can help with character building sometimes - cracking jokes or conveying emotion.
May not be accurate but its a fantasy setting. You are expected to suspend some disbelief.

Admittedly this stuck out to me quite badly at first.
Apparently the reasoning is is most people from Rivia have that accent.

But then why does Yennefer from Vengeburg also have a British accent?

Geralt or Vesemir's voices didn't bother me, but Lamberts made me feel a little queasy.

Hearing a Yorkshire Radovid fucking delighted me.

Im not going to lie, I fucking hated Geralt voice in the 3rd game, it sounds like someone is trying to put on a Batman voice and isnt just talking normally like the people around him. So fucking bad and unnatural sounding.

At least in the Witcher they had a multitude of regional accents.

Welsh, Yorkshire, Brummie. I found it quite amusing.

Well I suppose English actually are European so it's closer than having an American accent
