usualy my first is whatever feels right to me then il start importing different saves to see what changes
Even on my first playthrough of the Witcher 1 and 2, before i read the books, i tried to stay as close to Geralt as possible. I guess CDPR gave a good impression to me on who Geralt was because i did pretty much every decision like what Geralt would do from the books.
For the people who read all the books:
Do you think that siding with Iorveth in TW2 is really true to the canon? Do you think the literary Geralt would have done that? I'd love to hear your opinions and arguments why or why not you think so.

It's a bit of a mixture for me, but most of the time, what I end up choosing naturally lines up nicely with how Geralt was in the books, so I don't have that much of a debate there. I think it's important to note that CDPR has the intention for each player to choose their own Geralt, and they've allowed for this with the magical tool that is memory loss. Geralt still wants to figure out his past, of course, but the development of his actual character and personality is something left open for the players to decide. Most of us who have read the books will however end up gravitating towards the character we know from them when rebuilding his personality, but that's not to say that one way or the other is the 'right way.' The games allow us - and encourages - to mould our own Geralt.
Yeah, I know. The problem is that imo the literary Geralt would never go down the Iorveth path in the first place. Iorveth's personal motives are only one part of the equation.TW2 never forces you to support Iorveth, even on Iorveth path. There're a couple of relevant conversations where you have the opportunity to say you agree with his ideals, but you can always give another justification for your actions. They did a pretty good job of NOT forcing you into a viewpoint you may not think correct.
