Geralt should be dead years ago

Recently I watched the opening cinematic of the first game again,and noticed something I didn't aware of before:Geralt jumped down from a window which is about 10 meter high from the ground,and he DID NOT EVEN ROLL WHEN LANDING!

How the hell did he survive from that is simply a mystery to me.

Those trailers involve a lot of special effects and jump cuts to make the old guy seem tougher than he really is.
I mean, look at him. Getting bossed around by Yen all game, he barely has any time for blackjack and hookers.

Tell me about it.
The old fart can't drop from 2 feet without losing half of his health in the actual game.

Well, Geralt was younger when he performed that stunt in W1

Like the Hulk, Geralt was transformed by a wicked accident, when the pitchfork went into his chest and into his heart. The crenlin serevia bacteria, prevalent back then and associate with pigs and cows that ate magical wines in the slop and feed, Everluce for example, then digested and mixed with dirt and finally pooped.....the dung created a toxic mixture that once on the pitchfork and it fermented, transformed Geralt once he was punctured with it. The accident made him better than he was before, better, stronger, faster....and no green after effects.

Just the facts in case anyone was wondering.

 

[Ajira]

He was probably using a bunch of potions.

 

[Sharpy47]

If you pay attention, just before he hits the ground, he does a silent yet strong enough witcher fart, which in progress softened Geralt's hard landing.

I think he used Enchanced Fart potion.

I guess that this opening cinematic depicts first romantic night with Adda, so yeah, Geralt was like about 15-18 years younger and before both foot injuries (in 'Something More' and after Thanedd)

 

[wichat]

The truth is that Geralt in books can easyly jump this heights (aka Thanned) but in this last game he seems be suffering a kind of SMA (spinal muscular atrophy)...

Too many potions aren't good for health.

Well he has one injured knee now


Back in the good old days of the striga he was pretty healthy.

Yeah, a Nilfgaardian Black Infantry Archer shot him in the knee and now he can't survive a fall higher than 4 feet.

I've been falling over four feet without damage. You just need to press or hold the jump button in high falls.

 

[ironhorse384]

I think once he has hip replacement surgery his days will be numbered.

 

[braindancer12]

there are things which are worse then a jump..............like an arrow to the knee!

 

[SofaJockey]

Letho can manage it...

You're just trolling, right? Right?! :shock:

 

[Ajira]

If you press jump button just before hitting ground, Geralt rolls and take no damage.

 

[roizumaaku]

You're just trolling, right? Right?! :shock:

No.

 

[Grundvig]

You are only showing your true trollish nature by asking that lame question?....He has died already.....will die many more times...so what is the real question or lame thing you want to say?
I know you have problems with being honest...but just try one time?

 

[dremvar]

The falling damage in this game is just stupid.
