While we have known this much about Geralt for some time, in this, the third game from Polish developer CD Projekt RED, these abilities are given a freer rein than ever before.
These considerable attributes combine with his battle-worn good looks to make Geralt something of a triumph with women – although, at his age, he must now also pay the unavoidable taxes on debauchery: loneliness and longing (for much of the game he pursues lost loves both romantic and familial). Naturally, you make firm friends in every village you visit. He is a skilled alchemist who can mix a potion from almost any combination of plants, and his resourcefulness in turning an animal’s carcass into a life-giving morsel is unparalleled (press “Up” to pop a life-giving steak or a rejuvenating beer at any point mid-battle). Outside, he can track the daintiest paw through terrain that would prove unreadable to others. As he prods at the bloodied carpet and the broken mirror, he’ll murmur a recreation of the deadly event like one of the grizzled Baltimore detectives from The Wire. Geralt is able to read a murder scene of which there are a great many even for a medieval-esque fantasy game, intuiting clues where others see none.
His talent for detective work would make Sherlock Holmes hot with envy.
He is a skilled and charming negotiator, always ready with a witty retort, or a shrewd observation (you pick the response) and, when an interviewee proves contrarily aggressive or guarded, Geralt is able to issue a Jedi-like wave of the hand to calm their blood or loosen their tongue.
