Witcher 3 cut quest restoration mod The WAR Project is finding a new voice for its fresh Vernon Roche lines, following alleged "severe incident of gross misconduct"

The WAR Project team, in their development of a new version of The Witcher 3 mod featuring Temerian commander Vernon Roche, has removed a voice actor named Grlt from the project. This decision was made due to an alleged severe incident of gross misconduct. The modders explained that Grlt, who impersonated Mark Healy's portrayal of Roche, is no longer involved with the project and that their schedule will not be significantly impacted by this change.

The mod's objective is to restore a plague-themed questline that CD Projekt abandoned before release. The WAR Project modders are currently re-recording Roche's lines and have reopened the audition channel for a fresh actor. They apologize for any discomfort caused by the incident and stress their zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate behavior.
