How do i become a sir?
You can nominate anyone doing impactful work in their profession, for charity or in the sciences for a knighthood. They need to be British (or a British resident) to receive the full award with the titles of 'Dame' or 'Sir'. If they're not British, then they will get an honorary award.

Is geralt a sir?
Whilst a neat, fleeting appearance in Thronebreaker, the fact Geralt attained knighthood status before his amnesia could've helped reintegrate him into the world across those later games, when Witchers themselves are largely cast out of most conversations. "Sir Geralt, of Rivia" certainly sounds far more regal.
