I see your point. Return of the White Wolf does have a better ring to it than rise.
I liked the way they did the usual "amnesia" gimick to help Geralt (and you) find out bits and pieces about his past. Now that you mention it I do seem to remember they did a lot of the "Introducing the famous character to the rest of the world" marketing. I latched onto choices have real consequences part of the advertising and had forgotten about the rest. Truth be told I didn't really even pay attention to anything else once they said NWN 1 Engine and choices and consequences. I was sold on the game once I heard that. DIdn't really care about who Geralt was, I just wanted to see how I could change how the story unfolded.
I think your right, though, rise is a bit of a stretch and sounds odd when you put it into context with the game.
