Just saw this video on another thread (thanks Gilrond) this is a trailer from the cancelled Console of Witcher 1, the "physical form" of Geralt is fantastic, well proportioned body, well-built physique, did I mention "manly proportioned"!

There`s still time to fix up Geralt`s look. It`s true that CDPRED kinda slimmed Geralt body down for TW2, making him look younger and prettier in the process. This issue with Geralt`s having a slimmer than teen-age woman waist(in comparision to his shoulders width) is still there though. At least that how I feel about it.
Additionally, Geralt`s no Superhero from American comic books and should not look like one, in my opinion. I think that they went too far with this. Making Geralt looks 'cool' is nothing more than appeasing the teen-aged or bearly 20-ish audience in my opinion. CDPRED it`s not your style, you could give us maturer Geralt, we are adults we do know that people get uglier with age, we wouldn`t mind.

I think what he meant are the proportions and they're indead a bit off. Especially considering the stature of Geralt in TW1 they should tone that down, it looks to much like some bodybuilding-champion. Take a look at people who do hard physical work, e.g. construction workers. They have completely different proportions. Only men who are deliberately training to look good have a stature like Geralt. And somehow I doubt he's doing workouts each day and keeps a strict diet. ;-)
Personally I think Russel Crow has a quite fitting stature in 'Gladiator'. Could use a bit more muscles, but not much. It looks solid and steadfast, which is what I'd associate with a warrior. And it allows for the fact, that Geralt is not only eating proteins and drinking water (those are keypoints in professional bodybuilding diets I think to recall).

Who says the mutations gave him muscles? There's no word about it in any book. It's just said that he has enhanced speed, strength, reflexes, endurance, heightened senses and regenerative abilities. Nothing indicates he has to be heavily muscled. And I really wouldn't say he was thin in TW1 and TW2.
I should have known that this will be the Only thing people will extract from my post. Sadly, you`re not an exception.Wichat said:
/>/>/> I feel however, bound to explain this comparison. I meant that Geralt waist looks like one of those 'I am always on diet', skinny teenage girls. I mean in general sense. I agree it is poorly said, I am sorry.Witchat, flashing an ultra lean Bruce Lee`s photo does not make a proper comparison. Bruce Lee was body obssesed, please read about it in his biographies. Geralt as far as I know from the books(I read them all)was NOT body obsessed.
To sum up, I still bevlieve that CDPRED gone way too cartoonish on Geralt`s physique in TW2 and in TW3 trailers. As I am convinced they won`t take a step back to make Geralt look more mature I still urge them to do so.

Yes, no comparison with any real body, 'cause we don't never use mutagens that change our strength, we, in RL, don't know how that could affect our metaloblism. And Spakowki speak about a graceful, sinewy body, not a croissaned shape thorax or abdominal chocolate tablet.UncleJoe said:I should have known that this will be the Only thing people will extract from my post.

I reapeat... look carefully the tr
You do realize at one point men did wear corsets and at other points in history they did wear heels? I would say please no male corsets but its not a gay thing it was a fashion thing many many years ago for wide spread use. Even during our civil war we had men who still wore corsets and you might find a handful today who like the look I personally never thought of that as nice for anyone anyhow really breaking your body not appealing.
This is how Geralt should look or at least built, notice the straight lines from the armpits to the waist, no gurly curves above the hips, watch the video, its from the cancelled console version of the first Witcher, done very well.

very glad to see this discussion thrive. didn't really notice at first(for me, geralt's clothings has always been the worst part of the game, so i sort of just filter it out), but the tightness definitely doesn't make sense. hope there are at least some armors with normal waist lines.
As I said before I don't like the armor but his body seems fine. Geralt is a witcher. What does this imply? He eats what he gets, mutagens and potions hit his system like a truck, he relies more on agility than strength, thus a very bulky muscular body does not fit him very well. If you were to look closely his proportions are totally fine, the only thing throwing people off are the huge pads on his shoulder.
This thread is absolutely ridiculous, and just goes to show how the average waistline of the global population has expanded to the point where they think men don't, or can't look like Geralt..
FYI, athletic or muscular men tend to have broad shoulders and narrow waists, so there's nothing girly or unmanly about Geralt in the Witcher 3.
