Geralt will grow a beard while you play The Witcher 3

FUTURE

Some would call beard growth in videogames insignificant — a waste of time. They would be wrong.

As spotted in the NeoGAF recap of German gaming magazine Gamestar.de‘s factoid-filled coverage of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, protagonist Geralt of Rivia will grow a beard over time. If you (foolishly) prefer him with a more clean-shaven look, you’ll need to visit a barber. Resist!

Chris adds: “This is, like, actual Molyneuxian features from Fable 1, realized over a decade later.”
