The song "The Fields of Ard Skellig" by Marcin Przybyłowicz contains the Gaelic lyrics "Fhir a' bhàta, 's tric mi sealltainn on chnoc as àirde..." which translates to "Oh my boatman, oft I look from the highest hilltops..." The lyrics are a reflection of the longing and nostalgia that people often feel for their homeland, and the desire to return to familiar surroundings that are associated with happy memories. The boatman serves as a symbol of the singer's return to the place of their memories, and the hilltops represent the journey that they must embark upon to reach their destination.

Skellige is Scandinavia with Scottish culture (clans, place names like "Ard")
Velen is Poland with English influence (the pellars and cunning folk are English influence)
Novigrad is Novgorod with influences from Belgian and Dutch middle age cities.
Toussaint is France
Nilfgaard is holy roman empire with Italian and Spanish culture.
Places like "Kaer Morhen" or "Kaer Trolde" Come from the Welsh word "Caer" meaning Castle.
The whole continent is a wonderful mix of European culture from the Polish perspective
@SilverTooth666
Polish person here in my opinion it's more like this:
Skellige is indeed scandinavia and british isles but
Velen is East Poland under partitions in XVII century as well as an image of other Slavic lands at times of war and poverty (the pellar is a character straight from Adam Mickiweicz's XVIII century play "Forefather's Eve" in which he is based entirely on Polish pagan rituals and traditions In Polish it's "Guślarz". The Peller's questline is heavily inspiried on the play)
Novigrad is the archetypical rich port trade town which Sapkowski probably based on Gdańsk, Venice and Amsterdam
Nilfgaard is Germany in general, it has references to Nazi Germany, Holy Roman Empire as well as current day Germany in relation to Poland (Both Nilfgaard and Germany are using trade and cheap goods as a an economic weapon against Redania which is Poland)
Now I don't know about the names of location but I trust your analysis.
Toussaint is Southern France and Italy combined in the most beneficial way (the architecture is clearly italian but the names and culture French)
@AFGuidesHD
Scottish music, irish accents and Scandinavian culture = skellige.
@Some-wr7mi
I wish skellige was real
@yavuztok9656
it cameto me more as northern irish accent
@GordonGarvey
Not really. That's just a mountain poking out of the sea with a monastery on it.
@dhillonbhatt1717
+Jaqen H'ghar Wont be seeing you on GoT anymore lol, atleast you survived, or did you?
@Quicksilver_Cookie
I think closest you can get to Skellige in terms of landscape - Iceland. Throw in some Scandinavian architecture and domestic culture, and you get Skellige :)
@LeoCoot
look at the views! is just one piece of music from one area of the game, other game companies should take notes!
@Hjemdg
Leo Koutakis exactly, this one has special space in my heart ♥ I love the Toussaint soundtrack as well, it's so great to come back to it after finishing the game

@@exodus4683 Odyssey is terrible compared to witcher in everything and yes i played odyssey
@MetalPhantom7
@@exodus4683 Nah, Ubisoft should have never tried to make an rpg from Assassin's Creed in the first place, they suck at it.
Well they've made an innovation after all, a need to donate into a single player rpg game for having a gear with greater impact and artificially balancing the game to be harder and longer to finish with free in-game gear.
Not sure I like where this is going tho. And yes I'm talking about Origins. Didn't play odyssey but tbh don't even want to see any games from ubisoft anymore, this company is disgusting.
