* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the books Geralt is early on a bit of a racist jerk, which is completely excised in the series. Not in that he considers nonhumans inherently inferior, but he settles for accepting that them becoming a minority in human-dominant world and losing their cultural identity is just how it goes, and he doesn't see the point in trying to fight it. This is most notable at the end of "Four Marks": He tells the elves they should go live among humans, the elves counter that they would have to throw aside their culture to do that. In the books Geralt's response is to do that anyway. In the series, he has no rebuttal.

* GutturalGrowler: Geralt speaks with a very guttural voice, which adds to his intimidating presence. It's basically Henry Cavill doing his Doug Cockle-as-Geralt impression, which isn't a surprise given his vocal love of the games,

* {{Catchphrase}}: "...Fuck." Geralt's understated PrecisionFStrike anytime something happens that throws his plans out the window might as well be the catchphrase for the whole series.

** Very much averted in Season 3, as when [[spoiler:she is thrown off into an unknown desert trying to survive on sparse water and wild lizards, she is visibly bruised, sunburnt, sandblasted and falling apart mentally--especially when she is confronted by purported ghosts of her mother Pavetta and grandmother Calanthe]].

* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: [[spoiler:When she confronts Cahir during The Thanedd Coup she mentions that she used to be ''terrified'' of him because of his role in the fall of Cintra, even having nightmares about him. But now she was more than ready to face him and take revenge on him. Said plans hit a snag when Cahir reveals that he not only is [[TheAtoner fully aware he was in the wrong that time]], but he has chosen to [[DeathEqualsRedemption die at her hands to make amends]].]]

* BreakTheCutie: Ciri goes through so much horrible stuff from the very first episode, starting with the fall of Cintra and the death of her family. [[spoiler:The last episodes of Season 3 are even ''worse'' for her, believe it or not. Ciri is nearly captured by multiple people during the Thanedd Coup, is forced to draw blood for the first time, ends up stranded in a desert where she is forced to eat bugs and drink mud to stave off starvation and dehydration, loses the unicorn she befriended over the course of that ordeal, is captured, hog-tied by a band of brigands, only to be rescued by another band of brigands. It's no surprise Ciri's last scene has her look utterly broken.]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:Near the end of Season 3, Ciri relinquishes her potential to become a godlike sorceress and effectively depowers herself as the means of resolving TheFinalTemptation preformed by Falka's specter.]]

* WorfEffect: Until season 3, Geralt was never defeated, if indeed seriously wounded. [[Vilgevortz is the one who does the honors, but deadly stabbing and cutting Geralt, and destroying his sword]]. Geralt stood no chance the whole battle, and didn't even get to land a hit on him.
