1 grlt worth of strength.

He can pretty much kill anyone who is not a mage.

pretty darn

He's capable of beating a Higher Vampire and outwitting a devil, so pretty fucking strong.

Not enough to avoid getting killed by a peasant

He kills Higher Vampire and Wild Hunts.

I'd say he's at least twice as strong as a professional knight.

The history proves once again that the most terrifying monster of them all is man.

>tfw hair clips through grandmaster ursine gear
what the FUCK CDPR

Game canon does not apply. In the game you are supposed to win and you are pretty much geralt. So it's basically cheating at this point.

In the books geralt is pretty smart and capable but get's easily outplayed by Vilgevortz and gets killed by a peasant. He is strong but clearly not the strongest and certainly not immortal or unkillable.

and higher class otherworldly beings such as Gaunter and the Elder Vamps. Really even higher vamps are more than enough for him

well, he's a super human (or mutant, w/e), also, the devs said that he's very similar to kraven the hunter from spiderman

He's strong enough to take 3 pounds of steel without choking

Vilgefortz was a beast though
like he was a fucking maniac
he kicked a witcher's ass in close-quarters combat with an iron rod which puts him on a pretty ridiculous level in himself

He's way stronger than a knight
Way fucking stronger

He's pretty much got magic
He's got connections EVERYWHERE
He can take all the potions to do inhuman shit
He, by default, has inhuman strength and stamina

Now, you can say that witches and wizards are not someone he can fuck with. That's true. But he fucks with stuff witches and wizards wouldn't touch.

If only he remained neutral, as he was supposed to then there wouldnt be a problem. Also the 3 games would not happen.

Well, Vilgefortz did curbstomp a Higher Vampire too.

He got killed by a riot, trying to protect someone. The streets were packed with peasants.

He can heal, use magic, save and load, he can know what is going to happen from internet forums and websites.

He has a plot bias and can roll.

I'd say his is a demi-god.

Witchers were supposed to protect humans from monsters and other elven scum. He should've actually taken the other side, not just remain neutral.

he also has mods

Geralt never did. At last I can't recall him killing a higher vampire.
Regis was already way stronger than geralt and vilgefortz killed regis. Vilgefortz was probably the strongest close to ciri.

Witchers were made to hunt monsters
Elves aren't considered monsters

He's more of a smart playa than a super strong dude.
The games are fuckin trash compared to how he is in the books.
Tricks people in order to get money from them, spreads rumors about monsters when there aren't any, kidnaps children.

Witchers protect humans from monsters only and are expected to remain neutral and to not engage in politics. Geralt is a special snowflake and is an exception to those rules in certain situations.
Ethnic clensing is clearly politics.

It goes something like this

>Gaunter O'Dimm
>Djinns
>Unseen Elder
>Ciri
>Vilgefortz
>Yennefer & Triss
>Higher vampires
>Mages with prep time
>Geralt and elite witchers
>Leo Bonhart
>High tier monsters like Striggas
>Average witchers
>Mages without prep time
>Elite soldiers like Roche and Siegfried
>Typical monsters
>Knights and other foot soldiers
>Bandits
>Elves

>Mfw a Dh'oine is ignorant near me

Geralt does not even kill the dragon because it's a golden dragon. He is not mindlessly killing all monsters.

>Ciri not on top

>triss on yennefers level
>lol

Ciri is the strongest by the way. Even stronger than Dimm.

She's powerful as fuck, but she doesn't have near literal omniscient powers.

Yes, exactly, meaning Geralt isn't a good witcher.

Pretty shit.

A regular Witcher isn't particularly strong and Bonhart proves that a regular human can be as good of a fighter as a Witcher. Most Witchers are expected to die from a monster, which makes most monsters somewhat on a level with a Witcher. It is confirmed that many Witchers decline contracts if they feel they're too risky, especially if they aren't already broke that week.

Geralt is the top Witcher, but it's not like he no-damages every contract. On multiple occasions he got badly injured during a fight, even with regular monsters. He definitely won't kill a dragon or a higher vampire.

Mages completely shit on Witchers, in fact they shit on pretty much everything.

Gaunter is literally GOD, Ciri doesnt come close.

I'm sure the lore and book versions of Geralt are much more grounded in reality.

Quite honestly, the way he plays in games is suicidal. Realistically, he couldn't get away with saying "yes" to every job he comes across. Even though he's a mutant with enhanced reflexes, strength, and an array of versatile signs powers, the amount of trouble he stirs with people should lead to constant assassination attempts and many of the monsters and apparitions he fights are seriously dangerous, even for a witcher.

tl;dr: I imagine a real life Geralt being a tad more low-key and emphasizing the whole witcher "neutrality" thing, whereas in game he's a hero who fights endlessly and brazenly upsets political types without a care in the world.

He's the mirror opposite of god.

youtu.be/Prmhoy5tjP4?t=54

Ciri can travel through time and teleport anywhere.
Gaunter can not.

Well duh, the games would be pretty boring if he only took a job every other month and then had to spend two weeks recovering. Geralt in the books gets his ass kicked constantly.

Gaunter can't do shit without a contract though. He's bound by myriads of ancient mystical rules. Doesn't really matter how strong you are if you can never use more than a tiny portion of your powers.

Not particularly strong.

According to the books, Eskel is more on less on the same level of skill when it comes to swords.
And he has an even more powerful magic aura, according to Triss.
And Geralt has an anormal magic aura due to his mother being a sorceresses.

The reason why Geralt is famous is because Dandelion writes about him and he was involved in some famous shit, like Pavetta's 15 birthday.
>Ciri not on top
N-no. I'll never leave Ciri on top.

mid range
monsters and wizards are much stronger
he barely gets out of monster fights for the price of killing himself with alchemy

...

>We will never get a witcher game about one of the witchers witchering around, with hard 1v1 focused combat and a well designed magic and alchemy system to help you in each long monster contract
Kill me in my sleep

But Geralt defeated Vilgefortz as well basically without help (all Regis did was scratch Vilgefortz face with had no actual bearing on his combat abilities).

>I'm sure the lore and book versions of Geralt are much more grounded in reality.
There is a part in the book where he tries to find ciri. It's exactly before he fights vilgefortz and loses. He kills like 50 soldiers in matter of seconds. He can be pretty OP in the book.

Gaunter
O
Dimm

I know he's basically satan or some shit but that's what I meant.

Gaunter is immortal and a deity. Even if his power is bound by contract rules he can still out live her.

And where exactly does he say that? Him not being able to find her for plot reasons is something completely different. This nigga literally transports you to different worlds, is clearly immortal, can teleport around as seen in the backgrounds of many scenes, can stop time and probably make people burst if he wishes it so.

>with hard 1v1 focused combat
why? tw3 combat is fun because of positioning(if you roll you do it wrong)

He's the direct opposite of God. He has god-like powers though.

Gaunter killed several people that just annoyed him and didn't have a contract with him so that's not true.

to remind you, geralt and yen defeated vilgefortz
he'd be dead if not for yen

If you use the plot reason meme. Then you shouldn't be able to beat him. Is geralt omnopitent because he beat him?
Using game logic is stupid.

What? Yen got BTFO almost instantly leaving Regis and Geralt.

imagine how good the witcher would be without ciri

It's like asking how good lotr would be without the ring.

No. The scene with the blind old dude is there to establish that while he is almost all powerful, he can't resist a challenge and may end up getting bested on account of his overconfidence.

yea, imagine how good lotr would be without frodo

You mean like the first two games?
Ever heard of the Silmarillion?

Ever heard of the Silmarillion?
Oh you mean the collection of non related ring stories? What does that proof now?

that's a silly analogy, ciri is not an inanimate object (unfortunately)
ciri is a shit character who only waifufags could like, frodo isn't

Everyone sucks Gaunter's dick, but can he fistfight cuckolds?

In the games maybe. In the books he gets his ass kicked by necrophages and almost dies from a bite wound on his neck by a single cursed monster.

She is a plot device throughout the books and games.

alvin was ciri surrogate in the first one
and triss was ciri surrogate in second one

Taking everything into account he's mid-tier at best.
Strength is relative though, he beat things that should've and sometimes did curbstomp him but was killed by a peasant with a pitchfork

This is mostly accurate. I'd place Ciri a bit lower though, for all her raw power she doesn't really know how to use it properly.

Yeah. That's the point, he may be special but he's not, say, Superman.

I hate how the games introduced a bunch of witches schools but never did anything

I wanted muh bear school Viking witchers

I think that's the truly spooky part about O'Dimm when you realize he isn't bound to keep out of matters not related to him. Because that means either he's simply going through the contract business because that's the only way he can obtain souls, or he's doing it to nerf himself because he is a sadistic asshole who enjoys toying with people.

>Silmarillion is not related to the ring

Weaker than a farm boy with a pitchfork.

they are all dead, barely any witchers left

I'm pretty sure that's equivalent to your average joe being able to carry a fridge on his own in a raging fire.

You don't understand what I'm trying to say here.

I figure it's to nerf himself. Just using power like that willy nilly would start to get boring as hell.
Where's the excitement if there isn't a chance of failure?

cause in the game they had to make him stronger or players would be annoyed.

>kidnaps children
Nothing wrong with this

Exactly. Dude has probably been fucking with people for hundreds or even thousands of years.

I think he means stuff like The Children of Húrin.
Silmarillion had better stories than lotr imo

>demon
>god

He's just a powerful alien. A tourist. Like all the monsters the conjunction of spheres brought to the world. There's no "satan" or "devil" per se in the Witcher world. Plus he's also not a complete ass. If he were, he wouldn't honor his contract with Geralt or even help him save Ciri.

>In the books
Kys andrzej sapkowski

>doesn't know the Witcher games steal content from the books 1:1 for side quests/main quest shit
kys faggot

>There's no "satan" or "devil"
Gaunter obviously shows it's not the case. It's a pre-revelation Christian universe.

You do realize Devil always honors his agreement? That's because otherwise people would not trust him. He wouldn't be highly regarded and no one would do buisiness with him.

Who was in the wrong here?

>is a vampire and a whore
>not wrong apriori
???

I was either or for a while, but it was the soldiers who escalated things so I ended up siding with the vamps.

yeah but we don't know if she was under a spell or not

>steal
>literally titled Witcher

Not that guy but stealing is a stretch.

copy paste is more appropriate I take it?
It's just funny that guy is shitting on someone that bases his opinion on the books, when gamefags don't even realize how much the games borrow from the books.

I wish CDPR would make short DLCs for Witcher 3 for each short story from the books.

>Not using Axii on him so the old man can shag a bit longer
>not just keeping the jewels for yourself and going straight to the brothel on the docks in the morning

Youre rping wrong.

When most people think of Geralt they think of Game Geralt, as far as discussions go it makes sense to use him as the default.

He's among the best swordsmen but isn't overly powerful otherwise.
Witchers were designed with survivability and autonomy in mind, not to be able to wreck everyone's shit.
Their prime advantage is that so long as they can walk away from an encounter, they'll be back on their feet in a matter of days.

Have you even read the books? Geralt and the main cast act and more importantly INTERACT almost completely different in the games than they do in the books and its for the better in every single way. The dialogue in the books is dry as fuck dude.

HoS also proves they are just as good as Sapkowski if not better when it comes to writing new shit into the universe.

what? yeah I have, but what the fuck does that have to do with anything?
I'm talking about content, namely side quests, that get ported over from the books to the games, not how characters interact with one another. See the novigrad doppleganger quest in Witcher 3.

What what you're saying about HoS is meaningless. I can just retort with "Yeah but B&W proves how terrible they are at introducing when it comes to writing new shit into the universe", because Detlaff and Syanna are easily the worst characters in the entire game and fucking pathetic, and because of them Anna Henrietta's personality also suffers and the main story ends up being quite nonsensical mess of "why didn't they just fly the eagles to mordor" that leaves you wondering if a character is genuinely retarded or if you're just too intelligent for the game.

he is known to be the best swordsman in the Northern Realms, most people who are not stupid know him by name or heared of him

there are still much more powerful beings, many already mentioned ITT
Vilgefortz could burn him to ashed and yet he beat his witcher ass with a stick without effort

Since when can gerald make things levitate?

History has proven that the pitchfork is mightier than the sword.

This isn't dragon ball z.

they only know of him because he slaughtered a bunch of peasants for no reason in Blaviken

vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Geralt_of_Rivia

*facepalm*
Are you seriously THAT retarded?
