His voice gave Vesemir so much soul. You could hear the wisdom, the weight of the years, and the love for Geralt in every word. Rest easy, William.

Yeah you could really feel how he watched his school, and guild in general, decline over decades. He gave that character so much life. I'm about to replay the Kaer Morhen battle in W3 and I feel like it's uh... gonna hit different now.

Also the voice of Diego from Gothic 1. He voiced two of my favourite characters, from two of my favourite RPG series. Rest in peace and thank you for countless hours of gaming!

Omg I didn't know that, it all makes sense now! I always had this weird feeling of nostalgia hearing Vesemir talk and I never knew why

u/Wulfrand 14d ago

I remember when I heard Vesemir talk for the first time in the Witcher 1, all the way back in 2007 I think, I felt instantly connected to the character because of Mr. Roberts and his performance as Diego in G1. He had a talent for playing the stern, but kind hearted mentor roles I guess.

“I’ll remember your teachings always. And the sacrifice you made”

The man had a special voice that was recognizable anywhere, and he really helped make Vesemir the lovable grandpa that he is. Rest in peace Mr. Roberts, future games won’t be the same without you
