The only major character that would have would be Ciri, and her story is mostly all in like 1 year of her life if I recall: the rest don't age.  Think they did age her grandmother at times though.

The worst part was they didn't even try to make it seem like people had aged
Half of the characters literally don't age, because magic, but yeah at least create distinct hairdoes or something to make it more clear.

I'd like to see more "monster of the week" episodes in season 2.

Geralt is a monster hunter, so I want to see more monster hunting.

The show literally felt like playing the game with all that shit, including those cookie cutter moral quandaries Geralt is put in front of.  :lol
I loved it though, and all the monsters of the week sort of related back to the main plot one way or the other, so it didn't feel like time wasting.

I'm betting there will be even less monster of the week in season 2, which I think is unfortunate.  that's the thing with netflix and premium tv vs prime time - you can't have one-off episodes that let characters breath.

Were any of the stories in this season used as the basis for questlines in any of the games?

Because I watched ep3 last night and I've only played W1 and that was forever ago, but that ep with Triss and the Shtriga and stuff all felt vaguely familiar.

Thats the beginning of the first book.

Finished the first season last week, good show that stands on its own feet and doesnt try to be GOT2. 7/10

Looking forward to a hopefully better season 2.

That’s basically just the opening FMV / attract movie for the first game, but it’s set before the actual story.

You technically do fight a striga in the game as well, but it’s “different” from the one in the cutscene.

IIRC, all of the games, are well after the books.
There are a lot of things mentioned in the games, that you get to see here, though.

Unfortunately this means no Letho in this show.  :'(

My hunch is that this first season was basically to focus on the three main characters and then they sprawl out the net in the next seasons. Would avoid the problem GoT had in its early seasons where you have a hundred characters with two non-consecutive minutes of screentime.

I think Gerald already mentioned Vesemir in passing during the flashback but he wasn't shown yet and Letho mischievous adventure is slightly important in the future.

But also, Disney+ is in a handful of countries, compared to Netflix. And even in the US alone, Netflix had years to establish a footprint, so it doesn't say much about the shows themselves.

Watched all of it yesterday and i really dug it.

Interesting how the last episode was tied up but it makes the overall timeline weird as fuck (which doesn't help since 2 of the main characters in the episode either don't age or hardly shows it and the 3rd literally didn't have a form until now).

Bring on Season 2 and also toss a coin to your Witcher

Yeah, actually, I'm starting to dig it. Dealing with Lord Urcheon and Pavetta, and just what a badass the Lioness Queen was, prior to the events of the first episode, I'm digging it.

just watched the first episode and it's starz as fuck, has that high end porn but with scaled down titties feel to it. i can't tell how much of it is intentional, unlike something like spartacus where you know full well what the mandate is. i get the feeling they genuinely set out to make the next game of thrones but failed hard enough that they went through the mediocrity barrier and into the more enjoyable pantomime tier, which goes to explain both the critic and audience scores.

despite it being high trash i'm quite enjoying cav hamming it up though.

Huh?  Doesn’t look cheap to me at all.  Looked fine.

i'm only going off the first ep, but it looks super cheap. i loved when they kept cutting between the one shot they had of the castle window and the completely disconnected shots of the town being ravaged below like on TV in the 60s when they had a studio setup shooting on video and a film setup for the exterior shots.

AFAIK, this: https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_World_of_the_Witcher/8bpvDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0

And the R. Talsorian RPG Book: https://talsorianstore.com/collections/the-witcher-trpg/products/the-witcher-trpg

Do. But I don't think Sapkowski ever did a J.R.R. Tolkien ultra-autistic map of his fake-world.

Also WTF at Yen being like 30 years younger on their timeline. That's fucking insane, but I can't claim otherwise since I don't think Sapkowski and other supplements have made a timeline like this.

Ok, it doesn't explore past the first season. So I guess the shows timeline isn't matching the novels but most of the story beats for the first few novels (and short-stories) are there: Interesting. Guess I should check the show out via YARR HARR after all.

Finished this today. It was wonderful, but wholly uneven. Parts of the finale felt epic, and other parts filmed at a renaissance faire.

I'm completely on-bard (heh) for s2. Hopefully they throw a bigger budget at it.

I think a lot of it comes down to having the right people and giving them enough time. Most of the sets and costumes looked great (and expensive) to me but there were some parts that were plain, especially some of the monsters. I mean if you don't have time to plan it, all visuals will look shit so hopefully next season eclipses it on that front.

I think it should retain the somewhat low budget look.

It fits the material well. Make it too smooth and it just isn't the same. The Witcher works because it doesn't take itself too seriously.
GOT in the end was impressive but over produced visually compared to the earlier seasons of "10 guys ride away on a horse, cut to 10 heads on a spike".

The Ciri-arc books are worthwhile, IMO. If only because they introduce Regis and the rest of Geralt's party.

The Ciri-arc books are worthwhile, IMO. If only because they introduce Regis and the rest of Geralt's party.

Quote from: Kindle Highlight format fail
‘ In fact , the problem arose and acquired negative characteristics in true textbook style , ’ he continued a moment later . ‘ Even during my youth I enjoyed … er … the pleasures of good company , in which respect I was no different to the majority of my peers . You know what it’s like ; you were young too . With humans , however , there exists a system of rules and restrictions : parental authority , guardians , superiors and elders – morals , ultimately . We have nothing like that . Youngsters have complete freedom and exploit it . They create their own patterns of behaviour . Stupid ones , you understand . It’s real youthful foolishness . “ Don’t fancy a drink ? And you call yourself a vampire ? ” “ He doesn’t drink ? Don’t invite him , he’ll spoil the party ! ” I didn’t want to spoil the party , and the thought of losing social approval terrified me . So I partied . Revelries and frolics , shindigs and booze - ups ; every full moon we’d fly to a village and drink from anyone we found . The foulest , the worst class of … er … fluid . It made no difference to us whose it was , as long as there was … er … haemoglobin … It can’t be a party without blood , after all ! And I was terribly shy with vampire girls , too , until I’d had a drop . ’

Regis fell silent , lost in thought . No one responded . Geralt felt a terrible urge to have a drink himself .

‘ It got rowdier and rowdier , ’ the vampire continued . ‘ And worse and worse as time went on . Occasionally I went on such benders that I didn’t return to the crypt for three or four nights in a row . A tiny amount of fluid and I lost control , which , of course , didn’t stop me from continuing the party . My friends ? Well , you know what they’re like . Some of them tried to make me see reason , so I took offence . Others were a bad influence , and dragged me out of the crypt to revels . Why , they even set me up with … er … playthings . And they enjoyed themselves at my expense . ’

Seriously, give the Ciri-arc novels a chance, Chrono. They're good (for YA fiction-levels, I guess), and the ending book (Lady of the Lake) sets up for the games pretty nicely and then The Witcher 3 goes completely whole-sale into them and it's amazing.

First episode is solid (friend is letting me use their account :doge ). But Ciri and Cahir looked really cheap during the Battle of Cintra. I expected a bit more especially from the key moment for Ciri in the series.

It'll be interesting to see how the later episodes play off her powers.

Third episode was pretty good at retelling the Adda/Striga story.

Not sure if I like Yennifer's transformation scene happening at the same time as Geralt does that. It makes Geralt WAYYYYY older than her (going by Netflix's timeline this is confirmed) when my head-canon had them around the same age in the books and games.

Yen's body pre and post-transformation (where her face gets a level up post-transformation):  :ryker The Lodge's dance and her "YASSS QUEEN"ing into it I guess explains why the Lodge hates her better than her just dating Geralt/a Mutant and the Lodge hating Witchers. But... eh...

I'm enjoying it pretty much overall, though #NotMyYennifer #NotMyTriss because I'm so used to seeing them as the game models, so it's hard to adjust to them not looking like a pretty black-haired white women and red-headed white woman. I think it's one of those "this character has this established looked so changing it means I hate it" sort of things. Not against the actresses and they certainly do a good job with the parts (I feel), just feels wrong to not have them be looking like their character models. But... :yeshrug I'll get over it.

Fourth Episode:

Geralt:
Forgive me, my lord.
This happens all the time.
It's true, he has the face of a cad and a coward.
-But, truth be known, he was kicked in the balls by an ox as a child.

[...]

Duny:
Please, Geralt of Rivia, do not feel like you're doing me a service.
I cannot start a new life in the shadow of a life debt.

Geralt:
Fine.
I claim the tradition as you have, the Law of Surprise.
Give me that which you already have but do not know.

Calenthe:
No! What have you done, Witcher?

Geralt:
Fear not, Your Majesty, if I am seen in your kingdom again, it'll be to kill a real monster, not lay claim to a crop or a new pup. Destiny... can go fu--

(Pavetta vomits)

Calenthe:
Pavetta? Are you--

Geralt:

I busted out laughing at these.

Cavill is clearly into the source-material and I'm here for it. I dunno if I agree with Sapkowski "canon Geralt is Cavill. This is how I imagined him," after numerous hours with the game series and books themselves. But I do have to admit that Cavill's "hm," and "fuck"s seems to get to the heart of Geralt.
