Who Is Dandelion In The Witcher 3?

Dandelion is Jaskier in The Witcher 3

In the Witcher books' original Polish, Geralt's minstrel friend is named Jaskier, but in English translations of the books — and in the Witcher video games themselves — the character's name was changed to Dandelion. The Witcher Netflix show, adapting the original books, decided to go with the character's original name (Jaskier), rather than what the character might be more commonly known as in the western world (Dandelion).

Joey Batey plays Jaskier in the Netflix adaptation, and while you can make Dandelion wear the same outfit with the alternative appearance in The Witcher 3, his face isn’t exactly the same. The character won't ever be a dead ringer for Joey Batey, but the appearance change is good enough for players to role-play as Henry Cavill’s Geralt in The Witcher 3.

While the next-gen upgrade for The Witcher 3 was welcomed with open arms, many players aren’t keen on the alternative appearance for Dandelion. Terrible or not, CD Projekt RED deserves credit for offering new content, including alternative appearances for Geralt, and more.
