My only exposure to The Witcher is from the advertisement crossover quest in Monster Hunter World. The quest was cracking me up the whole time because Geralt was so stereotypical "cool grizzled guy" in his dialogue and voice acting that I half expected him to say "Psssh… Nothin Personnel… Kid…"
Is he this much of a weenie in The Witcher 3 or did Monster Hunter do him dirty?
Geralt is the reason I have never been able to get into the Witcher series. By all accounts the Witcher 3 is one of the greatest RPGs of all time with an insane amount of depth but I just can't get over the fact that I have no choice to play a character that reads like a 15 year olds checklist of hyper cool masculinity. I get that the character has been around for a while and it wasn't so much a cliche when he was first written but sheesh....I just have a hard time taking him seriously.
Honestly l was worried about that but actually came away fairly pleasantly surprised by his characterization when I played through the game. Although it's definitely undercut by the epic bewbz shit they like to put in these kinds of games
