Moreover, the list also had The Witcher’s Geralt in second place. And this version is straight from the gaming franchise, not the live-action version of Henry Cavill from the Netflix series.

Geralt from The Witcher games had a Golden Ratio of 86.99 percent. On the other hand, Henry Cavill’s iteration from the Netflix series could garner a ratio of 69.82 percent only. The latter figures are from a separate poll for the TV shows.

This means that the popularity of the original Geralt, from the console versions, is still unmatched. Or in other words, he is the hottest version of the protagonist.

Here’s the full list of the Top 10 male gaming characters in respect to the Golden Ratio they received, as part of the study by Top10casinos:

  1. Captain Price – Call of Duty (88.90 percent)
  2. Geralt of Rivia – The Witcher (86.99 percent)
  3. Commander Shepard (male) – Mass Effect (86.79 percent)
