I think that's a case of casting an actor who is super close to the source material and wants to see it succeed, much like Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool or Vin Diesel and Riddick.
I think his ability to mimic Doug Cockle's rendition of the character is going to make this very easy for anyone who enjoyed the games to make a transition into this show and feel immediately invested in the character. While Triss may be different, Yen may not be the same and Dandelion may have his actual story name, Geralt makes the show easy to get into a groove with.
With all that said, Joey Batey's Jaskier/Dandelion is also fantastically accurate.
