And it's nice to see that everyone can enjoy The Witcher 3 in well-done language versions.
Found this...

I bet CDP spent a damn TON on localizations. They all do sound pretty damn good.
They all sound pretty much the same, save for Geralt in the English rev, who's markedly different from the rest.

Speaking of which, it is amazing that you might not be aware of hundreds of references to Polish culture and literature that are buried in The Witcher's plot, and in spite of that you are enjoying the game. The Witcher 3 is probably the most postmodern game when it comes to intertextuality. Obviously, many of these intertextual threads lead to very universal themes, myths, archetypes (e.g. vampyre stories, fairytales, Don Quixote in Blood and Wine). But huge part of them is grounded in Polish lore and culture. It is the same with original Andrzej Sapkowski's books.
Not to mention the whole "Dziady" night ritual to send off restless dead spirits to the next plane. Oh man when I heard the chant "Głucho wszędzie, cicho wszędzie, co to będzie, co to będzie..." Took me right back to my kid days memorizing the famous poem in school ;p

One thing I am sure of: the swearing is better in Polish. :joke:
You betcha, haha. But I always preferred the feel/intensity of polish swear words compared to english. Nothing beats throwing a good harsh kurwa when you're really pissed xD

What *is* it with that "pam param" bit?! Is it a reference?

I think people just latched onto that sound effect because a) it sounds hilariously ridiculous, no-one sings to themselves like that, and b) you hear it everywhere.

Perhaps it's the game world's version of the trololo song...

Probably a coincidence, though.
I have no idea what show it is. Russian version of "The Three Musketeers"?
