This may have come from the need to limit studio time for the voice actors, but it adds a touch of magic to Geralt that you don’t find as much in the written character. The writers of the video games gave Geralt a wry sardonic quality. He’s a man so accustomed to disappointment that he mostly seeks life simpler pleasures knowing they are at least attainable for a brief moment before everything goes to shit. Given a chance for true hope, love, or intimacy, he will drive a wedge of darkness into it, unable to believe it could be real. He will moan about how people are forever ungrateful for his efforts, but he will almost always come to their defense none the less. Neither of these two forces within him can ever overcome the other. At war with this is his deep and abiding cynicism about the nature of humanity and the grim world in which he lives. The first is that at his core, he is a good and decent person, a true hero who hates to see any living thing suffer unnecessarily. His personality is composed of two strongly competing traits that are driven hard against one another. I’d say the greatest quality of Geralt as a character is his own internal drama.

It took me a while to try the first Witcher game due to it having a pre-set protagonist. Making characters is simply one of my favorite things to do in any RPG. I generally prefer role-playing games in which I craft my character from the ground up.
