Playing as Geralt

[ハイイロギツネ]

Can you play the game as Geralt? Can you play it as a Witcher type game with a Witcher build?

[Aims]

There's one mission that will let you play as Geralt and hunt a leshen, still mhw gameplay and build.

Can also obtain his layered armor (Geralt appearance).

How different is the gameplay from The Witcher?

Actually closer than you would expect. Gameplay wise this is pretty much superior to TW3 in almost all aspects, mostly because MH is a gameplay focused game while TW is a story focused one.

Also, unlocking Geralt's ♥♥♥♥ is kind of an end game thing, so if you were hoping to play the entire game that way you might be dissapointed, but then again mods exist. Also for Iceborne you can play as Geralt the whole way I'm assuming.

1. There is only one mission in which you can play as Geralt. After that, you will have to craft the layered Geralt armor.

2. The game play of that particular mission is similar to Witcher but the combat system is totally different.

If you ask if you can play like geralt for all the time, the answer is no. There is no similarity between the combat system and story line of MHW and Witcher at all.

Is the gameplay more similar to Final Fantasy XV?

No, it's gameplay is not like FF XV's. MH plays pretty uniquely compared to most games. I can't put into words what the best game to compare it to would be.

No. There is almost no minion hunts. You don’t need to travel a lot and since MHW is not open world so it’s quite different. The combat system is also completely different. You can check out some MHW gameplay videos to see if you like it.

You can also obtain the regular armour not only the layered version. It offers a stronger IGNI sign from hunter rune stone to actually the Igni rune. Also the Vaal hazak set bonus.

Monster Hunter is it's own genre.

If you're considering buying the game specifically for the Witcher crossover, don't. I'm only saying this seeing as you don't already own the game and are asking this sort of question.

lol.
Ever played Phantasy Star Online/Universe? Or a more recent type of that type of game like Warframe? It is that kind of gameplay. Start in a hub, go to a board/counter/place to get quests, accept quests and get teleported to a linear area to grind out the quest requirements, grind the same quests until you have weapons and armor to grind the next quest, and so on. All of this with the theme of you being a monster hunter tracking monsters to kill/catch them.

Sounds boring, but it's not really because the combat is great, and there are neat fight mechanics and several different types of weapons that each feel different. And the weapons have a weighty feel to them, so the combat physics feel wonderful.
