in many cultures having a beard is unprofessional. i'm an American Soldier and we shave our faces, because we are professionals.
GERALT of Rivia is a PROFESSIONAL monster slayer AKA WITCHER. i heard we get the option to shave it? i did notice through 1-3 he gets more facial hair.
I must have missed the part where Geralt joins the US army, seriously why cant we use Black Hawks and heat guided missiles in the Witcher games?
You're trying to apply 21th century logic to a videogame based on a series of fantasy books. Besides, the shaved head/beard of a soldier is more like to take away a soldiers individuality, reinforce the "unit" mentality.
Gertalt doesnt fight in an army unit, hes no grunt.
Also, vikings were professional sea raiders. dwarfs are professional miners/warriors, even ancient romans had beards.
