How would Geralt fare in Westeros (Game of Thrones)?

He defeated the Wild Hunt, I think the White Walkers would too easy for him.

Gets BTFO by Gregor

He'd just roam around forests looking for little jobs
>>
>>343686968
>Implying Geralt is a dex fag
He has both STR and DEX
>>
>>343686968
He's a generic strong man
>>
>>343686446
>>343687159
There are no monsters in Westeros so he wouldn't have any coin to buy weapons and shit. He would probably be some mook soldier or gold cloak in Kings Landing.
>>
>>343687159
true but he'd get a crazy reputation sooner or later and when nobody or no creature even comes close to taking him he'll become an important player
>>
>>343686968
That fight made me sad. It showed in both book and show that Dex prevails hardcore, but Oberyn's cockiness is what got him killed in the end. All he had to do was get his venom in him and wait it out.
>>
Last time i checked Geralt is a Genetically modified human.

I don't think the Mountain will stand a chance against him.
>>
>>343686446
Geralt can take out all the top swordsmen in Westboros by himself
>>
>>343687994
I'm glad it played out like it did unlike Tyrion's little cut on his forehead and Theon looking like nothing happened to him
>>
>>343686446
I think geralt would starve as not enough monsters for hunting.
Otherwise he would be a lone wanderer who just kills easily anyone who gets in his way.
>>
>>343688263
*Westeoros
>>
>>343688263
Nah Geralt got BTFO by a normal human tonnes of times. Jaime, Loras, Barristan and Arthur Dayne would BTFO him
>>
>>343688427
Couldn't he become a merc like other Witchers?
>>
>>343688543
>Jaime the one handed sister fucker could beat Geralt
Oh come the fuck on.

That faggot has to manipulate people out of castles instead of sieging it like a God damn man.
>>
>>343688543
I'm talking about game Geralt
>>
>>343686968
Wasn't it in Blood and wine a reference to the Mountain at the finale of the tournament?
>>
>Becomes a legendary bounty hunter
>Becomes a wandering swordsman
>Becomes an assassin/bodyguard to a lord (ser Alonne style)
>Travels North and single handedly stops the White Walkers
>Travels East and fuck Daenerys

Whatever it is, he would've had an exciting life. Let's not forget he's a super strong, super tough, super fast mutant with a hundred years of life, chemistry and sword experience.
>>
>witcher is coming

Appropriate. He'd probably be bored with no monsters and boink some girls while taking odd jobs.
>>
>>343688143

I am pretty sure the HUGE human enemy type is inspired by the mountain
>>
>>343688776
Jaime with his hand would destroy Geralt.
Besides One handed Jaime beat Rand Al Thor
>>
>>343686446
He'd be faster and stronger than any human in their world, and has signs to manipulate people when he needs, shield himself, etc. He's experienced against dragons, resists a bunch of shit. Assuming he isn't a powerful figure ripe for assassination, he'd do fine. Might get caught by a sneaky peasant, but unlikely.
Probably be one of those overpowered characters that has no real role, but exists so there's a higher powerlevel than their current stupid strong character.
>>
>>343687601
He'd end up working for the Night's Watch and doing a bloody good job.

There are also legends of monsters in some parts of Essos, like basilisks and obviously dragons.

I really don't see Jaime beating Geralt. Not single handedly (no pun intended).

That's exactly the kind of thing his heightened reactions and senses help him avoid. He can figure out if people are lying by hearing their heartbeat.
>>
>>343689284
Have you only played 3?
>>
>>343689257
Jaime was a god tier fighter with his hands. Jaime would rape book Geralt. Not too sure about Game Geralt
>>
>>343689082
This. He'll be some legendary swordsman that's a hero of his own story, but not the one we're in.
>>
>>343687601
He could probably make a really good mercenary company or could pull a bronn/clegane and rise to the point where he is a powerful vassal.
>>
>>343689503
Book Geralt, possibly. Game Geralt, no chance.
>>
>>343689427
I played a bit of 2 but didn't really dig it all that much.

Can he actually do that or was he just bullshitting the guy to scare him?
>>
>>343689098

>>
>>343689643
Almost every Geralt fights humans in the books they're highly skilled assassins/mercenaries and he's always out numbered 1 to 5. I can't recall anyone jn GoT overcoming those odds
>>
>>343689937
He murdered Snow White and her 7 mercenaries in seconds to become the Butcher of Blaviken
>>
>>343689828
Well he was stabbed in the gut by a peasant with a pitchfork that pretty much lies to him. Gets Geralt's guard down. It's mentioned in 3, I think. Pretty sure it's in the opening of 2.

How would Letho fare in Westeros (Game of Thrones)?
>>
>>343689873
The Night's Watch are the only guys involved in monster-hunting in Westeros. Maybe Geralt would just become a roamer north of wall and help wildlings out now and then. Or maybe he'd grow close to the Watch and turn it into a new Witcher school

Kingslayer!

Gregor is the peak of human ability but Geralt is a mutant trained from childhood to kill monsters bigger than him. That and Witchers fight dirtier than Oberyn.
>>
>>343689828
>>343690046
>Game fags
Jesus. That's canonicaly how Geralt and Yennifer died, their bodies being whisked away to that Isle by Ciri.

Everything that happens next (coming back, joining the hunt in place of Yen, the amnesia) is game canon.
>>
>>343690494
He's basically Gregor and Oberyn combined into one silly completely OP character who could obliterate anyone.
>>

Better question, how would Dandelion fare if he landed in Kings Landing midway through a Game of Thrones
>>
>>343689503
You'd be delusional if you believe anyone in the ASOIAF universe would have a chance against Geralt. He's far more skilled and physically superior than anyone, even Jaime, Barristan or Arthur Dayne. If you add in potions or Signs it would be even worse.

>>343691774
>He doesn't know basic shit about the world of a game he's playing
Geralt and Yennifer dying at the hands of a regular peasant is a huge plot point not just for the books, but for the games as well.

If you failed to gather that, you should probably kill yourself.
>>
>>343691890
I think a faceless man has a shot if he can get him when he's drunk

also potions are probably out because he's in another world with different plants and herbs
>>
>>343692254
In one of the quests Geralt kills an ekimmara while blind drunk, maybe not even then.
>>
>>343686446
He would never sit on the throne

I don't know anyhting about GoT but what would happen if some asshoe suddenly started selling virus, parasites and other mutated bullshit to whomevever could pay?
>>
>>343692254
>>343692450

The Faceless men are sneaky assassins.
Without plot armor it's entirely possible one sneaks behind him and slits his throat while he's hanging out in a bar.

Of course, main characters never get killed like that, so it probably wouldn't work.
>>
>>343692513
Eh, ASOIAF has a ton of zombies already. Like three entirely different groups of them.

Umbrella would go out of buisness.
>>
>>343691776
He goes to court and becomes the blue bard. So not well.
>>

convenient then that ASOIAF has no main character and anyone is fair game

why didn't he sense letho before it was too late?
>>
>>343691890
Jaime with a pitchfork could probably do it
>>
>>343693336
No they literally don't. Their medallions vibrate when magic is near, everything else is just experience. Just because Geralt is the most OP witcher doesn't mean every witcher has superman levels of sensing.
>>
>>343693427
one-handed too
>>
>>343693419
Because he's a Witcher too?
>>
>>343692710
But does it have stuff like brainwashing parasite, angry lizard, invincible undead with eyes everywhere and really strong bald man?

Imlerith is like the Mountain on steroids, and Geralt kicked his ass.

Nothing? He'd be a character sure, but there are plenty of great fighters and charismatic men in westeros. He'd just be another dude.

Wasn't the point of one of the games that Geralt was just one man, and no matter what he can't resolve a largescale conflict between two nations because he just can't?
>>
>>343687159
>>343687601
There are monsters in Westeros. They're just not as prominent because most of them died years ago.

Geralt wouldn't just be another mook solider, he'd probably be another mook sellsword, like Bronn.
>>
>>343691409
Couldn't beat Geralt.
>>
>>343700603
This.
Though he'd probably help with the white walkers.
Also his storyline would not be related with any of the big houses.

It really doesn't. Fantasy was always the laughing stock of literature and mostly for good reasons.

>>343702570
Accusing GoT of bad writing because it doesn't have a protagonist is fucking stupid though. He should rather talk about the meaningless fillers, loose and forever unsolved plot strands (which are now rushed in the TV show with such a retarded fast pace that I don't really care anymore) and Daenerys chapters, which are so boring that I actually fell asleep a couple of times.

Rushkoff's criticism boils down to "Martin tries to write a medieval epic".

No fun in Essos. If Martin were a women, Daenerys would be his Mary Sue. The show almost gave her a chance to get some color, but they blew it.

Worst of all, she'll win.
