* WrongGenreSavvy: ''The Bounds of Reason'' introduces a whole host, taking part in a dragon hunt - a knight who thinks he's in a chivalric tale, a peasant who thinks he's in a folk legend, a wizard who is out to protect endangered species (the dragon), and a sorceress who thinks dragons are a threat to society. This being Witcherworld, none is right.

* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: The [[spoiler: fake]] inquisitor gives Geralt one of these when he is trying to hire him to find the doppleganger. Geralt doesn't want to because not only is Dudu not evil, there's no actual way to find a man who can shapechange in a city of 30,000 people.

Implied for Geralt as well, who invoked the Law of Surprise in ''A Matter of Price'' and again in ''Something More'' for a chance to adopt a child, despite his own mixed feelings about destiny.

** While Geralt mostly just threatens to spank Ciri, her grandmother and primary caretaker, queen Callanthe, was mentioned to be a firm believer that sparing the rod means spoiling the child, which is why Ciri tends to take those threats seriously. And of course Geralt himself did it to a corrupt burgher in ''Literature/TheLastWish'', albeit under Yennefer's [[CharmPerson influence]].

Added DiffLines:

* HeroicBSOD: Geralt spends the entirety of "Something More" in this state. His tumultuous relationship with Yennefer never working out, his fear that she died in the battle of Sodden Hill, and his similar belief that his surprise child did not survive the sack of Cintra have caused him to fall into a deep depression, so much so that he doesn't even want to accept whatever payment a kindly merchant offers him for saving his life. It's only when Geralt sees that Ciri is alive and well that he snaps out of it.
