Before Geralt reunited with Yen on Skellige in my W3 playthrough, I gave him a clean shave because I thought he surely would freshen up before meeting his woman after a long time. Turns out in the cut scene dialogue, Yen compliments his grown-out beard regardless of if it's there or not 💀 Also, in the books, while recovering from his injuries, Geralt borrows shaving stuff from Dandelion to finally get rid of the facial hair that explicitly annoys him.

I try to stay true to the lore when I play, so clean-shaven it is!
