Ignorance is bliss, and stupidity is contagious.
One of my favorite things in low fantasy style settings is the lack of education, and the many amusing situations it can lead to. We have already seen plenty of stupid villagers in the demo, and Johnie was comparatively smarter than the local population, but not by much. Geralt on the other hand is a highly intelligent experienced monster hunter with an understanding of the world rivaling the highest intellectuals. I feel that this should bring up some very funny situations on par with the "harpy feather costume", or "this medallion will totally protect you unarmored in combat" incidents.
