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?
It definitely helps in the first novel if you go in knowing they're all twisted tales versions of famous fairy tales.
Yeah, I've told people it has more in common with Shrek than Game of Thrones lol
