Geralt’s Unexplored Talent: Acting in The Witcher 3

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see Geralt of Rivia, the infamous monster slayer, try his hand at acting? Well, in The Witcher 3, there was a cut side quest that would’ve allowed Geralt to explore a different talent – acting.

The quest, named “The Edge of Acting,” would have taken place in the bustling city of Novigrad. It revolved around Dandelion, a beloved character in The Witcher 3, who had his ballad adapted into a stage play called “The Edge of the World.” However, during the production, one of the actors mysteriously went missing, throwing the entire team into chaos.

Desperate to find a solution, Dandelion turned to Geralt for help. In the deleted quest, Geralt would’ve discovered the unfortunate fate of the missing actor, leading Dandelion to consider alternative options. Here’s where things get interesting – Geralt himself offered to step into the shoes of the missing actor and play his own character in the play.

But the production team had reservations. They were concerned that having Geralt, a renowned monster slayer, playing his own character would hurt the feelings of the original actor meant to portray Geralt. Instead, they proposed another role for Geralt – that of the missing Sylvan. The decision was left up to Geralt, adding an element of choice and consequence to the quest.

If Geralt agreed to take on the role, he would’ve had to remember and deliver his lines during the event. And depending on how well he performed, there were two possible outcomes. Successfully delivering the right dialogue could’ve rewarded Geralt with money or even an acting trophy, showcasing his hidden talent. On the other hand, failing to do so would’ve resulted in boos from the audience, leaving Dandelion to hilariously rue his choice.

While this quest may have been a lighthearted and entertaining detour from Geralt’s usual adventures, it also posed the risk of diluting the essence of his character. Geralt is known for his monster-slaying exploits, his romantic encounters, and his rugged masculinity. Some fans felt that seeing Geralt in such a comedic role would undermine the established image of the stoic and serious Witcher.

What do you think? Would you have enjoyed watching Geralt try his hand at acting? Or do you prefer him sticking to what he does best – slaying monsters and seducing sorceresses? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
