why does game!Geralt look like someone I can trust with my life and netflix!Geralt look like someone I can't trust with my houseplants?
game!geralt gives off that "tired dad whose kid just moved out for college and he's trying to be an cool dad with a social life again and trying out all these crazy hobbies, but would still drop everything to drive across the country if his kid needed him" vibe
while netflix!geralt is that same guy, but 20+ years earlier who just dropped out of college because he knocked up a random chick at the winter formal, and now is suddenly responsible for a small infant, when the year prior he got suspended for stealing the deans car and driving it into a lake with his frat bros while high on adderall and cocaine
