@willdoteabaggins Then that is complete shit because then they are leaving out Geralt's bard friend (keep forgetting his name). How do you set up the story in those books, but start in the middle? Lol! It's going to be a bunch of flackbacks, and those are rarely handled well, not when so much has to be gone over. Direction wise, it just sounds like a disaster.

Now...how the hell are you telling the story from their perspective when you have prior chapters and events in the books before Yen or Ciri appear? I had a feeling they would focus on them once they appeared, but to do it in such a way is stupid. Basing it around either removes everything Geralt is doing as they are split up a great amount of the time, no mystery as to what happened or happening to either in Geralt's search for them. I'm speaking from book perspective. This doesn't make much sense, not with what the trailers showed. They would have to alter the story in order for this to work, so this will more than likely be crap. Not because of the actors or story, but because the people behind it rather be agenda-based asses and ruin the adaption. The author can't say anything after this if it fails, because his support was behind it. You ruin your work, you just boost the game take all the more. Idiot. However, someone did say he got tired of Geralt in the books, so he might agree with this. To me, if you can't improve your character and rather focus on other perspectives, it's time to writer another book or take a break.

I didn't like Yennefer in the books lol! Geralt and her split the first time because she is controlling, they are going to skip Ciri's freaking parents and grandmother just to show she is important??? How about it's her lineage that makes her important, so knowing that sets her up entering it. Yennefer will die and revert back to looking a hunchback, Ciri will carry on as a Witcher, so why rush Geralt out? This is entirely a feminist bend and the showrunner has lied her ass off the whole time as long as she could, but I think this will kill it aside from those initial viewing to hope for the best. I have no idea what the hell the WWII crap had to do with the books, not when Yen is rich, connected and manipulates her way through things. Ciri is a kid. Neither of them can relate. Sorcerers and sorceresses are arrogant dicks in The Witcher, plotting against one another (Triss included), Geralt just getting caught up in everyone's crap before daddy complex for Ciri and (I think) submitting himself to Yennefer through a wish determines his course.

@MastaSkywalker10 She isn't the chosen one, her child will be. She is only destined to give birth to the future ruler that will unite all the lands. That's why her dad tries to kidnap and marry her so he can seed that heir.

@AAArnold Yeah, that caught me off guard when he just...died like that lol! The books bounce around a lot in perspectives, which kind of which lost me when it started to feel generic when Ciri started to develop (I don't know why, it reminded me of other books and movie plot points). Changing pov in a book all the time when you establish it with one is jarring.

Okay, remember this is based on the books, not the game. If Geralt lacked personality in the game, he certainly didn't in the books. He cracked jokes/perpetual smartass and there was a good amount of humor. I'm wondering if his bard friend is in this...haven't seen him. But no, Geralt has range to his character and a lot of times doesn't make the best decisions based on his neutral stance on things, which works against him and learns better later. So, book Geralt, not game Geralt. No beard, he shaved his scruff in the books. It makes sense if you study medieval culture; those without means or coin couldn't shave, those with means or wealth did, also wore clothing that distinguished themselves in class. Geralt having a beard wouldn't make sense, not unless it was trimmed, mustached and such. But more than anything, he likely shaved because Yennifer preferred it that way too lol

Pieces109 Then so would the games be, since based on his work. Whether you like the author or not, everything in the game stems from that work. If they change personalities or other things, its an adaption, not canon depiction. No one would except this for Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, so its very much a gamer vs readers, or I hate the author so I don't like his books either.
