Prolific voice actor Doug Cockle is known for his beloved performance as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher video game series. But even from a position of great esteem in the gaming realm, he’s made it clear that the infamous Skyrim intro—in meme format or otherwise—has managed to elude him all these years.
In a recent promotional video for the now-available AFK Arena and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt crossover, Doug playfully reads lines sent in from the community as his iconic character, poised as “What would you like Geralt to say to you when you wake up in the morning?” Amid plenty of cheeky and ~suggestive~ innuendos, one community member sent in the one line to rule them all: “Hey, you. You’re finally awake.” The player that sent in the line added “if you know you know,” to which Doug quipped that he definitely didn’t know.
In the video, Doug answers some questions from fans and playfully teases the AFK Arena community for some of their more “strange” voice line suggestions. Finally, Doug reminds viewers that the AFK Arena and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt crossover is now active in the game on iOS and Android devices and that both Geralt and Yennefer are available as playable heroes to help players “whoop some butt” in the arena.

About AFK Arena x The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Crossover:
The collaboration presents an exciting crossover between one of the most critically acclaimed open-world role-playing games of all time and AFK Arena’s massively popular idle-RPG action. Both Geralt and Yennefer will bring a unique set of gameplay mechanics to the arenas, giving players the chance to test out who better suits their teams’ combat style. Having done battle with the spectral forces of the Wild Hunt, both Geralt and Yennefer are more than prepared to protect the realm of Esperia from the evil that threatens it.
