  Any that involve being a monster hunter (killing giant spiders, dragons, trolls, etc.) or being a mercenary (not dark brotherhood, assassin and mercenary are different things)

  I think that's a reasonable opinion.

  I know that witchers wear light armor and what not but if you think about it with Geralt having the wolf medallion the wolf armor ingame that you get through the companions might fit nicely :P

  If you want to add more magic into the build since there is a magic skill tree in Witcher (2 anyways) it would be viable to take ash rune like on of the other comments said and possibly Fireball instead of Flames

  You could also just use dragonscale armor ad there is "dragon" armor in Witcher 2

  Good portrayal overall though, good job :)

  I know it'll complicate the build exponentially, but having just recently started playing the game I feel like he should have two-handed too, for a skyforge steel greatsword. Yknow, specifically for killing humans/elves/beastfolk. Never seen him wielding it one-handed. Might just be me being anal about it though.

  Technically, Geralt wields a longsword, which is kind of a mixed hybrid.
  Skallgrim on youtube did an awesome job of explaining this.

  Longswords are technically balanced for one handed strikes and 2 handed forceful strikes, which explains why geralt in game is able to cast signs in game whilst still holding a weapon. Of course, this cannot be replicated in skyrim without the use of mods, which i understand is coming very son to console players in october. 

  Perhaps then, this build can achieve it's full potential.
