Current Events > Why are people always prepared to fight Geralt

(+) Yeah! (+)

He's like 6ft3, 240lbs, covered from head to toe in scars and a fucking witcher. No, the witcher.

But sure stake your life on being able to beat him up, great idea

The only good explanation is that everyone in the Witcher universe must be drunk as hell at all times. Which actually seems pretty plausible.

I made a topic about this before but it's especially bad with the end of Djikstra. That was a shitty and/or lazy way to finish off a brilliant character.

It doesnt make much sense and Geralt even makes a joke about how bewildering it is in Blood and Wine

People are dumb

lol yeah, imagine being an obese crippled man thinking you're gonna fight a Witcher

Realistically, I doubt many people in the Witcher world really have a true grasp on how dangerous a witcher is.

the dude's known an the Butcher of Blaviken

he has many reasons to be steered clear of

And in the real world anyone with any sense knows you should not fuck with a UFC fighter. People still do. A lot of guys just think they are way tougher then they are regardless of who they are up against. It's really not that uncommon of a thing.

The same reason random idiots always yell "never should've come here!" at the guy who just shouted a dragon to death in Skyrim

Moreover that guy was wickedly smart and understood people to a scary degree, it made zero sense for him of all people to think he could beat Geralt in a game of sword with 3 hired thugs.

UFC is not real fighting though, all your fancy twirly bouncing off the ropes spin moves won't help you in a pub carpark fight.

lol Gary, you got "pro" wrestling(WWE, etc.), confused with pro mixed martial arts(UFC). While "pro" wrestling is mostly if not entirely staged, there have been some terrible accidents were things went wrong and people have been horribly injured and some have died. Still it is staged and is hard to enjoy knowing that it is fake. Regardless, the wrestlers deserve some amount of respect due to the amount of athleticism the job requires.

In UFC the fighting is in a octagonal cage with no ropes, and the fighting is entirely real as people get knocked out, choked out, cut open from punches and kicks and suffer from broken bones and possibly even worse. Before more rules were implemented for safety reasons some people have suffered from collapsed / dented skulls and a few have even died.

And there you go, try not to confuse the two from now on.

For the same reason people attack the protagonist in other games.

They are morons.

My take:
1) They heard rumors that some peasant managed to kill him with a pitchfork so they think his feats are exaggerated anyway

2) Strength or illusion of strength in numbers
