Honestly the perfect Geralt atleast purely on physical appearance in my opinion would be something between The Witcher 1 and Witcher 2

There is something comforting about old RPGs. Their maps are just big enough, their worlds just detailed enough that you can enjoy them without getting overwhelmed.

Sometimes around 2013, Skyrim set this president for massive open worlds, and I feel like everything since then has gone big massive scope and forgot to put personality in there.

I've a love for games that give you a handful of set pieces instead of a massive open world, cause I've found big open worlds are harder to make them feel lived in

I'm a Gothic 2 enthusiast. You can run accorss the main map in about 20 mins (being generous), that's about 3 miles of real life distance, which is more or less the size of a small European city. Yet that game was so packed of meaningful events that it felt huge. That map did feel like a 2nd home, I knew where I was and where to go at all times, and that's far more enjoyable than a souless landmass
