I wouldn't put Geralt as the greatest but he's definitely a memorable one.

I'm more impressed that they made him look better as the series went on.

>finishing the game with that shit tier beard

ending ruined

I'm replaying TW1 at the moment and I was surprised how much more rude he is there. In TW3 even the most whoreson dialogue options are pretty tame. In TW1 you can bully almost everyone, including people that are actually nice to you. I like that Geralt better.

>tfw couldn't get that woman to stop jesting and go out back

youtu.be/JPiswH7-DZI

Well, he was ugly as fuck in the second game, even if he lost the zombie skin. But yeah, by the third game he doesn't even remotely look like a Witcher.

Too bad you run back to the villa after this. I'd rather it be the very very last scene in the series.

>smirk
where

well then you enjoy your time with yenfu, how isn't that superior to anything else?

He's pale, has white hair and is covered in scars. How does he not look like a witcher?

White hair isn't necessarily a witcher trait. It's a possible mutation, unlike puss peepers.

...

>hahaha le epik sarcasm XDDD

because he's written to be cool guy: the character and panders to teenagers.

>implying teenagers relate to protecting your daughteru

no, they relate to someone who wants to protect their beloved waifu.

Geralt's waifu doesn't need protecting.

by the way

why didn't she teleport out of eredin's grasp or something

is eredin's armor made of this metal that blocks magic?

>yfw this happens

Too bad he's stuck in a shitty game.

Playing through blood & wine, this is some good shit.

It'll be years before we get anything of similar quality tb h

>possible mutation
It's exclusive to Geralt as he was put through extra experimental mutagens which made him a super-witcher lorewise but also bleached his hair.

the geralt from tw3 is just a glorified barbie doll for edgy plebs to dress up.

Has an established personality which just leans one way or the other with dialogue choices, instead of a blank slate who is either Mother Teresa or Adolf Hitler.

>using any of the armors

Plebs.

too bad you're stuck with such a shitty opinion

>is part of a super special order of warriors
>is the superist and specialist of all of the super special warriors
>has white hair to show you how unique he is
>is world famous even though witchers are considered less than human
>is on a first name basis with every political figure ever even though witchers are considered as mutants
>every woman in the world wants to hop on his d even though he's ugly as fuck
>is sarcastic all the time
>pssh nothing personal...aen elle
>is covered in scars yet not a single one hinders his ability in combat


how did this self insert series ever get popular

see what I'm saying, that's the only reason why assholes play the game. they're in love with geralt, that's why they don't mind this game being 60 cut scenes. they just drool over him and his every vague expression.

He's a super fun self-insert not unlike Indiana Jones.

thanks for your opinion fromdrone GERALT IS BASED

DAMN UR UGLY XD

>being 60 cut scenes
being 60% cut scenes

nice post

What signs should I focus on leveling up? Best way to make money ?

because The Witcher 3 is a Cool Guy Simulator 2016 for losers

>>is covered in scars yet not a single one hinders his ability in combat
How the fuck would healed scars impar anyone's ability to move? Are you retarded?

Quen.

Witchers' work.

Do you suffer from autism? No one wants to play a farmer

Couldn't you say that about a lot of video games?

Yes, but let him grasp for straws.

>hey, he survived the standard trial of grass
>lets try an extra experimental trial with even mor grass
Witchers of the old days, ladies and gentlemen

The Wild Hunt's navigators interfere with all other teleportation. It's why Keira fucked up her portal when she tried to follow them.

Yes, but that doesn't change shit. We are talking about The Witcher 3.

Geralt is liked not because he's a particularly well written character. People like him because they can pretend to be a sarcastic badass.

>Geralt is liked not because he's a particularly well written character

Tell me user, what is a well written character?

i want to fuck him

No, that's not how it does.
Every single witcher goes through Trial of Grasses, that's the main prerequisite to actually being a proper Witcher.
But only 3 out of 10 survive it, those that don't die in extreme agony.
With Geralt's case, he basically went through it like it was nothing and was barely affected by any pain.
As such they decided to throw experimental, extremely potent mutagens on him on top of that, basically Trial of Grasses 2: Extreme Difficulty Edition.
And he survived that too.

Meanwhile Ciri never went through the Trial of Grasses at all, but she did go through all the martial arts and weapons training like every other witcher. She compensates with her superior Elder Blood genetics for lack of mutations but generally any proper Witcher should be able to kick her ass in 1 on 1 due to her never going through said mutations.

Also Bonhart was good for a regular human but the 3 witchers he killed were actually very young scrubs, that's why he got rekt against Ciri that tapped into her potential.
Geralt or any other REAL witcher would wipe the floor with Bonhart.

A character that changes over the course of the story.

Geralt didn't change even a bit, the only thing that changed is his objective.

Even in my ending he didn't change one bit, he just parted ways with Ciri and started wandering around, sometimes crossing ways with other witchers and Ciri.

Geralt is a player avatar + sarcasm.

Scar tissue, especially for large wounds, winds itself into muscle fibres.
I had the flesh around my Achilles tendon slashed off and the resulting scar tissue has restricted movement in that ankle by a good 20% compared to my other ankle.

When you have large whole body scars like Geralt, you will experience pain and strain from it for the rest of your like.

That said, Geralt isn't human, he heals stupid fast, so his internal tissue might not scar or keratinise - leaving him with his full range of motion.

>Geralt didn't change even a bit
Should've read the books and played previous games.

Geralt is like Drizt or Tyrion Lannister.
You like him because he is edgy and drops the one liners and kicks ass, not because he is well written.
Geralt is a calm stoic today, a passionate warrior tomorrow, a cold killer the day after, a hopeless romantic on saturdays and a drunk loser on sundays.
He has no character, he is just a vehicle to move a plot along.

I've read the books.

I'm talking about The Witcher 3, not the whole series.

>Geralt didn't change even a bit

Geralt changes too much, all the time.
Thats part of the problem. He has one solution for a problem, and then a radically different solution for the same problem without any reason for it.

I'm not talking about his moodswings, I'm talking about character development.

He has no character other than his moods. There is nothing in there. He is mood driven, even when they play him out as an emotionless pragmatic philosopher.

Well you cant judge an entire series by one entry.

Well you can, but you'd be an idiot to do so.

> He is mood driven
good so he is human

Not when his mood is seemingly random and he reacts differently to similar situations based on what the mood of the story is meant to be.

I'm judging him as the protagonist of a game, not as a character in the universe.

If I wanted to discuss Geralt from the books I'd go to /lit/.

You continue saying this but I haven't experienced it. You have several choices in all dialogue, you are seemingly complaining about you picking different choices all the time lmao

Valid point.

But Changes in character aren't what make someone a well written character.

Contracts and certain high paying quests, also quests that give out good gear.

>The cost for mastercrafted Wolf armour and swords

Fuck me m8s. I had a better sword than the Wolf steel but I still use it for the complete set.

Yeah, but changes can make them much more entertaining.

I don't think that Geralt is a good character, because he's basically a player avatar with sarcasm. You are free to do whatever you want, Geralt will just do it his way, even if it's out of his character.

>lmao :DD:D:D
I am talking about the character of Geralt, not your playthrough.
I am talking about cutscenes, static writing, the books, the few comics.
Geralt goes from "I'll kill everything that moves and can't climb a tree" to "I am a witcher, my purpose is to protect people from evils like you" randomly.
And even if you pick an option that says one thing, very often the obvious reluctance of the character makes it obvious he wanted to go the other way and is making a compromise, and this again goes randomly.

Geralt is like a comic book character that gets a new author with every issue.

>I am talking about the character of Geralt
The character of geralt is what I make it, it is an RPG lmao, is this a hard concept for you to grasp?

>he character of geralt is what I make it
Absolutely false, Geralt is set as a character and you can do very little to flavor him a bit.
Lmao all you want, you are obviously wrong and anyone can see this.

How do you guys get smug Geralt anyway?

Mine has always seemed to have a perpetual "not this shit again" expression.

>The character of geralt is what I make it, it is an RPG lmao, is this a hard concept for you to grasp?

No, he's not. He's an estabilished character with his own morality, world view, tastes and shit like that.

I see it's only $36 Dollars now, would I like the witcher even though I am not a fan of medieval games?

>Would I like a game I'm not a fan of?

Probably not, user, based on the limited tastes you gave.

>Geralt is set as a character and you can do very little to flavor him a bit

You can do a lot to flavor him, the game is filled with choices that affect the world. You can play Geralt as an asshole, you can play him as a very neutral man, and you can play him as goody two shoes. In the end, if you complain about Geralt having moodswings it's because you chose it to be so

ROLE
PLAYING
GAME

I couldn't say, most people enjoy it.

I wouldn't say he's the best character because o be fair he is rather large mary sue in the games. What made him interesting in the books was the fact he did get his shit pushed in and he clearly wasnt the best thing since sliced bread.

I mean look at the blood and wine final boss, could book Geralt beat a higher vampire?

But yeah, I actually get what you mean come to think of it. Game Geralt is actually a pretty shit self insert character but for people that read the books surely you try and roleplay as him as a continuation of his story?

The Wticher 3 is barely a ROLE PLAYING GAME whatsoever, as we are always reminded by posts in these threads.
And it most definitely doesn't let you change Geralt's character.

I am unsure if you are a professional shill or just an amateur fanatic. Either way, I won't respond to you any further, you just dismiss anything I say and insist on things everyone can see are false.

>could book Geralt beat a higher vampire
For sure, he killed dragons and the strongest mage who ever lived.

No.

>any proper Witcher should be able to kick her ass in 1 on 1 due to her never going through said mutations.
I'd chalk that one up more to age than anything. Give Ciri some more years to train and figure out her powers and she'll shit thunder and fury over most Witchers save maybe Geralt and Vesemir.

Ciri's only real disadvantage is inexperience.

>could book Geralt beat a higher vampire?
Neither could game Geralt - if he went at it alone and actually found his quarry, he would have been shreked.
Even in the boss battle you were aided by another Higher Vampire.

Hell, a single Bruxa or Alp were both a big trial for book and game Geralt.

>The Wticher 3 is barely a ROLE PLAYING GAME

really makes you thingk....

>surely you try and roleplay as him as a continuation of his story?

Yeah, I do. And I enjoyed it, but that doesn't mean that I think he's a good character.

Nah, in the books every encounter was a serious fight for Geralt. Also I'd like to remind you that the strongest mage who ever lived screwed him with a quarterstaff.

>Vilgefortz was winning untill he died
wow

Personally I think he's fucking hilarious. Especially in the books when he begins his self pity fests and random philosophizing.

Not by himself though, and lets be honest higher vampires are a different level of broken to a dragon. He only managed to beat Vilgefortz by luck and surprise basically.

Regis assisted him at the start and then Geralt basically solo'd him.

It's almost like the Witcher series is an RPG with a lot of cinematic and narrative elements.

God Witcher 1 was so good. Shame about the trainwreck that was 2. Fortunately 3 was return to form.

Nah, I'm talking about their encounter on Thanedd isle.

>Regis assisted him at the start and then Geralt basically solo'd him.
Yeah, but Regis significantly weakened him.
On top of that, as people have already mentioned, Geralt is basically a super Witcher - who is probably the most experienced and skilled Witcher on the face of the planet, after the death of Vesemir.

It was written as an intensely close fight and without Regis, Geralt would have died quick and bloody.

Huh, I guess you're right but I think you're overstating Regis' actions.

On a side note what do people think the other higher vampires smell like? It's never mentioned in game is it?

I miss Dice poker. The theme in W1 was my jam.

Post game depression was real after going trough all books, game trilogy and expansions.

I hate Gwent so fucking much
>lol you didn't spend all your cash on shitty cards so good luck winning this shit game

Literally Pay2win trash invented by jews.

>tfw you will never get your boy pussy ravaged by the cum gun of Rivia

Gwent was literally the best thing about The Witcher 3, not even baiting. I played probably just as much, if not more Gwent than I did the main game. I understood how to play it completely in under a minute, but it has incredible depth to it. It's fine if you don't like it, but saying stupid shit like that is just asinine, user.

>literally 40 gold a card. Git gud scrublord.

Prolly a mad pleb who got fucked by a nilfgaard spy deck and got salty because he couldn't into decoys

Literally git gud. Gwent is incredibly easy even from the get go unless you're some drooling retard.

>it's just 40 gold, don't be greedy now!

It's super easy, but you have to buy all the cards.

And that's a problem because...?

It's literally pay2win: the game, that is all I'm complaing about.

Shit nigga you on some stupid shit. You gotta buy runestones and crafting items to make the best swords, so would you call swordfighting in W3 pay2win? Fuck off with yo bull

No because enemies get more HP with level, you just even out the scaling with upgardes.

>Get to Kaer Morhen in Witcher 3, talk to Yen about some magic shit
>Geralt: Potestaquisitor? Sounds fancy... Complicated.
>Yeneffer: Yet it's ever so simple, just grasp it firmly, move it around and the louder it squeals the closer you are.
>Geralt's "mmhm" and Yen's disgusted reaction

Can you give a specific example of this shift you're talking about?
