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?

he's actually secretly a softie who loves his friends and is everyone's grouchy dad but it takes a bit to figure this out and at a glance he can feel like shadow the hedgehog levels of edgycool

I think Witcher 2 does a pretty cool job of fleshing this out, Witcher 3 relies more on the "omg cool swords and bewbz" that it's harder to see the characterization

Yeah, I never played 3, and didn't finish 2, but I remember being really impressed with the characterization and some of the storylines in two. It was ages though so I don't remember specifics.

You're better off, i think. If I remember correctly, 2 ends with some "genociders and resistance just as bad" lib-ass take. It doesn't detract from the characters, but it's just a dumb plot.

The whole universe reeks with liberalism

It's unavoidable, really. The whole thing was written by a middle-aged, cranky Polish man.
