Geralt's Face

[TheUndying]

Am I the only one who liked Geralt's face and appearance in the first game the most?

Not suggesting to use that face 1:1 in W3 but using it as a template for a "new" face would certainly result in an interesting Geratl..

As many (including me) have said: the facial structure itself is done well. it's the too wealthy look in his face that kinda destroys it for me right now.
In the quoted picture it's better than ingame (in the gameplay vids, f.exp), though.
I think somebody as Geralt, who is constantly on the brink of being broke, constantly exercising or fighting, always exposed to nature should have a lean, "worn in" look on his face, hungry, wolfish - meaning slim, slightly fallen in cheeks (low bodyfat percentage), imperfect skin (important, Geralt is no model, he's a rough badass), prominent features.
Unnaturally noticable eyes (one of his main features). He's supposed to look like a real character, not some random model-ish guy with a scar and contact lenses to add uniqueness.

I think CDPR has still some work to do on Geralt,

100% this, I couldn't agree more.

If they call him a freak ingame, than it would be good to look like one.
(at least his eyes, to redish brown for my taste and warm, he must have colder eyes more green),
and variations in voice is much important as face 50/50

We definitely need the lightning yellow eyes of TW2, that's for sure.
Then as everyone has already told, the donut in his mouth must be pulled out, because he's not a hamster, nor a FBI agent!. XD
The face of the cgi E3 trailer is different from the gameplay one. If they make the in-game face similar to the trailer, giving Geralt a paler look and a sharper chin, I think that it will be the ultimate badass design.

You are not alone!
In W1 Geralt LOOKED like a proper mutant, and now he looks like a handsome dude cosplaying Geralt of Rivia.

How A mutant must look like?


Let's try to imagine it without fall in topics.... nor hollywood's canons...

Ups! Sorry, I've tried it, I swear!

View attachment 4342 They had the perfect face right here. As for the Hair and facial hairs, needs to be white.

Any resemblance with Magneto, is just a coincidence. xD LoL

That was my favorite as well, it's the closest to how Geralt looked in TW2.

I like how it looks in action... Brutally awesome.

Looks even worse in motion, especially in that 3rd picture. If they don't fix this face, I'll mod myself, from Day 1.

I don't get why his eyes have still a white human sclera. He should have real cat eyes with a yellow-greenish iris covering the full eye-socket and not only the human iris. His eyes are fully mutated. It's not some fancy stuff like colored contact lenses. It's not same lame "my iris is a bit yellow now and I have slit-shaped pupils now". It has to be "my whole eye is now a cat eye.

Human eye:

As you might notice the cat eye has almost no sclera. The iris fills the complete front of the eyeball. The human eye instead has a much smaller iris with a big white sclera around. Geralt's eyes shouldn't be white, they should have a much bigger yellow-greenish iris just like a cat that fills the complete eye-socket. Only at the very edges of the eye-socket there could be some white skin holding the eye in position, but no white sclera. You can't even really see his mutant eyes in the game so far. But that's not some gimmick. It's the most obvious (!!!) sign of him being a mutant and not a human anymore...




Also his neck looks very undetailed.... It just looks like a bulky piece of flesh connecting head and torso but not like a real human neck with muscles, arteries and wrinkles.

And why the hell looks his face SO FAT???

:scold:

 

[ReptilePZ]

Looks alright to me.

This is humour? How does his face look anything like this:

At all. In any of the ways.

As with the anatomy complaints, it may be too early to scrutinize. They're probably still working on him. All the same, it's an excellent design and facial expressions are vastly improved.

It is just like I said before: these faces, apart from the too human eyes and the bulk, are perfect.
In fact they are more similar to TW2 Geralt than any other shown up until now.
The problem is that they are CGI faces, the gameplay face changes quite dramatically. They should make them match as close as possible.
