The Witcher 3: 20 Characters Ranked From Worst To Best

3. Geralt Of Rivia

Of course, our fair protagonist has to feature somewhere on this list. For all of the disparaging remarks that are pointed towards Witchers and their apparently wooden, emotionless personalities, Geralt carries a stern charm that genuinely makes operating his dialogue feel like an actual pleasure rather than a chore.

The Witcher's prowess with a blade and his ability to employ spell-like 'Signs' make him a formidable warrior, and the very nature of his profession gives him licence to roam the game's terrific world in search of all manner of foul dangers.

Geralt is one of the greatest RPG heroes in gaming history; while so many other open world RPGs seek to give players control of faceless heroes in the hope of helping the player feel akin to them, here we have a genuinely engaging and likeable fixed character. No RPG avatar I've ever been given licence to create has kept be returning to a game quite like Geralt does, and that's a mighty achievement given that he's on a very linear path.
