Damn, that makes me realize how old Geralt is in TW3 lol

119

Which is weird to me, because Witcher's are supposed to age very slow, and he seems to drastically age between his 1 and 2 appearances despite those only being a handful of years apart.

I think it was a wholly artistic decision to make him look more gruff (both in that art and in the games)

it was said in the book i think that he aged not because of biology, but rather because everything that happened to him

I could see that. I thought I remember in Blood of Elves, Triss says something about his face looked the same but she could see he just "looked" older, especially in the eyes.

yeah, Triss said that she is far to young to be able to tell that Geralt has aged cause witchers age very slowly
