Geralt is a knight? (Spoilers i guess)

[Frostbite]

I remember when that lady of the lake made us a knight of her. So should i look for greater justice in these moral dilemmas, or just follow the path be neutral as hell and be a simple witcher?

Minor book spoiler - Geralt gets knighted by the Queen of Rivia, ironically, in the books. Long story short, it doesn't really effect how he sees the world or behaves.
Really, you're getting book spoilers just playing the game, not sure why you're stressed about it.

I know knights raped and murdered and stole (some did, not most) so they didnt live up to their names sometimes... but when you became a knight you swore an oath, and many are preserved- and they involve things like protecting women and the poor/innocent, doing what is right no matter what the cost, bla bla its a lot of pc/sjw things. so for any one who became a knight, in theory, they were supposed to always help the innocent and weak.

Yes, but 'always helping innocent weak' is a different thing, being a witcher is also a different thing. What im asking here is, i was knighted by the lady of the lake and sweared an oath. Was that just an epic moment without a further burden? Or did i really became a knight after that? Say, can i 'quit' the witchering and name myself as something like 'Champion of the Lady of The Lake' and offer my knighthood services to the nilfgaardian empire for example? Or would geralt do such a thing?

You seriously misread that whole exhcange and Geralt's attitude. She knighted him because of what she thought were valued reasons, and in the future she is a scholar of Geralt and his adventures (unless I've missed something there). Look around the world, how many knights follow their knightly vows? How many protect the innocent? None that we see. Geralt would never call himself a knight, nor does he trust or believe in kings and their empires, mostly believing everyone to be full of ♥♥♥♥.
The world of the Witcher is not filled with people trying to do the right thing and get along, its filled with people looking out for themselves to survive. Even Geralt isn't 'holier-than-thou', he'll make a peasant a pauper if they cant pay him.

well in b&w lady specifically tells you what she expects. i no longer remember what exactly happened in tw1 but iirc she asked questions there and only if you answered in certain ways did you get aerondight. btw i dont think she used 'knight' but rather 'champion'. at least in english version.

She does 'knight' you, however we see in the books how much that means to Geralt. It wasn't answering a qusrion, it was completing a certain quest a certain way.
