Redpill me on the Witcher franchise. I'm interested in the upcoming series but know pretty much nothing about it except for the fact that the main character is emotionless monster hunter and shouldn't be played by a black actor.

Novel series that exploded in popularity due to the game series.

Novel author also hates video games and thinks they're stupid, and so does not think much of the game series. He is also a "consultant" on the netflix series.

I wonder if Netflix will try and trend towards the game series rather than the novels, much to the author's displeasure.

Apart from the monster hunting it has a very gritty/medieval vibe, doesn't often feel like fantasy. There's kingdoms and people being taken over and all that sort of stuff. It's nothing really new except for the Witchers themselves. Everyone hates Witchers as they're seen as soulless monsters and only use them when they're desperate to have a monster killed. Witchers also never work for free.
>>
>>82962027
Everyone is crying about Netflix turning it into SJW bullshit but it kind of always was exactly that. It has the strong independant women, it has the moral of "don't kill niggers in the street because they are people too" and it has a male protagonist that learns to overcome his badass monster slaying character to become the bitch of his strong independant girlfriend.

Don't get me wrong I like the books. My point is that a Netflix muh diversity interpretation of the source material is kind of what any adaptation would look like anyways.
>>
>>82962027

Mostly about mutants in a medieval/dark fantasy setting where monsters still exist and the mutants are the ones trianed in murdering them but everyone hates them but they have superhuman abilities and fuck good so everyone wants their dick but also hates them. Books focus more on the adventures of Geralt and his party and doing merry shit but theres a hefty amount of politicking going aroudn since everyone is racist.

It's just another dumb fantasy for edgy teens. But this time it's le ironic and humorous.
>>
The books are all over the place, some are short stories that are edgy versions of fairytales, some books try to be like Game of Thrones (but came out before Game of Thrones), some are high fantasy horseshit. What they have in common is the characters and their relationships

The games are actually a bit better in terms of narrative than the books, except the third game which is a giant pile of shit

>>82962923
Actually the Witcher's world is full of diversity in terms of races: humans, elves, dwarves and Witchers themselves... Not to mention some sentient monsters.
Diversity is also the reason of Geralt's death

Geralt is a mutant albino monster-hunter who doesn't seem to have any problems in bedding wenches. I kinda like his portrayal better in the games compared to the novels though. He does some funny shit when he gets drunk.

>>82963275
Pretty much the only reason the wenches want to fuck Geralt is because he's immune to disease and sterile. In the days with no forms of contraception and no means of preventing STDs with sex, the idea that you can fuck someone and have zero chance of catching anything or getting knocked up is very appealing to a select few

>>
>>82962027
I don't know about the books, but in the games, nothing is really black and white. Some of the choices you make you have to choose between the lesser of two evils. Like allowing a great evil escape (and eventually kill a lot of people) in order to save a bunch of kids. Or kill the great evil and the kids get eaten.

>>82963556
Nobody cares about chlamydia because you can cure it with a single fucking pill

Really the only STD you need to worry about these days is HIV/AIDS and the chances of getting that through heterosexual sex is literally 0.04% - IF THE CHICK ALREADY HAS AIDS. Yep, you stick your dick into a chick with AIDS and you only have a 0.04% chance of getting it. So not only do you need to find the chick with AIDS, you need to be THAT fucking unlucky

The reason it was thought of as a "gay disease" for so long is because if you get fucked in the ass by someone with AIDS you have a 1% chance of getting it - and gays have ridiculously large amounts of anonymous unprotected sex

And at least in the case of all the sorceresses, Geralt is a rare commodity, because on physical contact some magical reaction gives the ladies magical orgasms.

Also, he is a trophy. A token of influence, and most sorceresses in the series are possessive and want to nail him just to make the others get pissed.

nigger he literally has morality which guides him, partly because he's an outcast himself so he sympathizes, and he won't do outright evil stuff no matter how high the bid.

Wolves asleep amidst the trees
Bats all a swaying in the breeze
But one soul lies anxious wide awake
Fearing all manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths
For your dolly Polly sleep has flown
Don't dare let her tremble alone
For the witcher, heartless, cold
Paid in coin of gold
He comes he'll go leave naught behind
But heartache and woe
Deep, deep woe
Birds are silent for the night
Cows turned in as daylight dies
But one soul lies anxious wide awake
Fearing all manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths
My dear dolly Polly shut your eyes
Lie still, lie silent, utter no cries
As the witcher, brave and bold
Paid in coin of gold
He'll chop and slice you
Cut and dice you
Eat you up whole
Eat you whole

People who care about the classic portrayal of Elves being attractive. You can't have attractive Elves if they're blacks.

Though if you have to cast blacks as Elves, then they should be the Aen Elle instead of the Aen Seidhe since the Aen Elle are the badguys.

He shouldn't be black because he is a medieval Slav, in a setting where Slav mythology is real. Making him black would be enough to sink the show in political drama the moment it was announced.

They won't. Detlaff is a game original character and belongs to CDPR. CDPR not involved with the show's production.

Characters like Detlaff, Letho, Vernon Roache and Jacques de Aldersberg have zero chance of appearing in the show.

3. Touissant's ruler doesn't die, or share power with a murderer who doesn't deserve it

>Folk say they were four at first. The Mother, She-Who-Knows, the Lady of the Wood, came here from a faraway land and, since she suffered terribly from loneliness, she made three daughters out of dirt and water.

>A long, long time ago the Mother was sole ruler of all of Velen. Her daughters brought her the people's requests and served as her voice. Each spring, sacrifices of grain, animals, and men were made to the Lady of the Wood on her special night. Yet as the years passed, the Lady of the Wood slipped deeper and deeper into madness. Her madness eventually spread over the land - men took to abandoning their homes and setting out into the bog, where they became food for beasts. Before long, Velen was drowning in blood.

>The daughters saw their land nearing destruction and took it upon themselves to save it. When spring came once more, and with it the night sacrifices, they killed their mother and buried her in the bog. Her blood watered the oak atop Ard Cerbin, and from then on the tree grew wholesome and hearty fruit for the people. As for the Lady's immortal soul, it refused to leave its beloved land, and so the sisters imprisoned it. To this day it lies trapped beneath the Whispering Hillock, where it thrashes about in powerless rage.

Maybe it is less a question of "voltage" and more of flavour? Could very well be, that the same unique rection to the trial of grasses, that bleached Geralt's hair, made him absolutely irresistable to sorceresses.

There's a book ingame called She Who Knows, you can find it all around the place, and it's covered in leaves and shit. It's about the mother of the crones who was a benevolent force at first, who gradually went totally insane and starting inflicting death and madness on the land. Even the crones couldn't handle the sheer degree of fuckery, so they killed her and buried her in the swamp. The tree is the re-manifestation of the Mother, and it's returned because of the death and madness brought on by the war in Velen. The tree spirit isn't just evil, it's insane.

That's not true at all. The author hates the game series because he made a stupid fucking deal when selling the rights. He opted for a large sum instead of royalties, not thinking it was going to do well. I'm pretty sure he hates himself for fucking up

main character is a monster hunter who does every little monster hunting in the actual books, story introduces interesting elements like race relationships and political intrigue and ever does anything with it instead opting for a road trip kind of story where all the characters are constantly wrong. later introduces a very powerful new faction which ends up doing nothing and the entire series ends with a giant let down because of completely unrelated events

You mean the plot where you pretend to be on Radovid's side to lure him into a trap?
>>
>>82965816
The evidence is pretty overwhelming, dude. The crones are shown to be honorable, though twisted. The village ealdorman knows about the tree spirit, presumably through oral history. He also directly states that it's the bloodshed in the land that's awoken it, and now it's directly influencing the land with its madness. Then there's the book that says the same thing. The only contradictory piece of evidence is the testimony of the spirit itself, and it doesn't actually offer up much of a defence beyond 'it is the will of nature' when Geralt confronts it about killing the villagers.

>>82965599

Well that's debatable isn't it really? Would you believe everything the crones told you? I wouldn't. Not saying you're wrong either way, but your certainty in this case indicates you didn't really get the game. Before you start I've had about 5 run throughs, and have explored everything from outcomes to books. The spirit ridding the village of its inhabitants could be seen as an essential purging so as to free the land from the grip of the crones. No worshippers = less power.

yeah all witchers make sorceresses tingle, Triss hugs Vesemir and gets all tingly. She also wonders what would happen if she touched the medallion.
>>
>>82965901
One book ain't evidence bro. For example look at the elf fairy tale you can pick up in Avalachs lab, it paints humans as the monsters. It really is just a matter of perspective. Remember when the tree spirit is freed the children survive, whereas when you kill it they die too.
>>
>>82965926
I thought Nilfgaard was more Roman Empire than HRE
>>
>>82965964
I am not talking about general aptitude or resonance for/to magic. It is clear from the very beginning, that Geralt is actually pretty bad with magic. He is not even talented at signs, eventhough they aren't even real magic, as the sorcerers are practicing.

I am talking about the sparks of orgasmic energy felt by sorceresses when they touch Geralt. Something that seems pretty unique to him.

I just was not sure if it was mentioned in regards to other witchers. Certainly not between sorceresses and sorcerers.

I'm not telling you to believe either one, dick splash. I'm telling you your certainty is indicative of stupidity in this case. Is saving a shit baron who sells out his own people and beat and raped his wife to the point that she went nuts (and don't get me started on that cheating bitch) worth the lives of those children? Is letting those children live worth it just for them to end up in poverty again? There's a reason it's such a memorable quest, it's extremely ambiguous.
>>
>>82966147
probably why Sapkowski hates CDPR, they've made better stories and characters than half the shit in his books.
>>
>>82966147
Yeah, that is very likely.
>>
>>82965999
You ignored the testimony of the villagers, who are not in direct contact with the crones, as well as the crones themselves, who are shown to keep their word and act generally straightforward. They do messed up shit, but they don't ever lie about it. On top of that, you've got the book. The book contains accurate details, such as the crones burying their mother in the swamp. If you do the spirit's quest, it directs you to where it was buried: in the swamp. The book has more credibility than the spirit, since it's backed up by testimony from an independent source in the form of the ealdorman, plus the word of the crones, who do not lie or go back on their word the entire time you see them.
>>
>>82966147

David beckham confirmed as olgierd
>>
>>82966219

My point is that taking the word of the villagers, is the same as taking the word of scientologists on their "beliefs". Make your own mind up but don't sit there and claim there is a right choice when neither one is overly positive for the world.
>>
>>82966192
It's not ambiguous at all. The spirit is evil. You don't free evil spirits. Whatever happens to the baron and the spirit's promise to help the children is a distraction. It has no bearing whatsoever on whether freeing a trapped evil spirit is a good idea.

Again, did you take the bones off of Fyke Island or did you come to the obvious conclusion that unshackling trapped spirits is probably a bad idea unless you are absolutely, 100 percent certain that there is no risk.
>>
>>82966245
The fuck are you talking about? How is not releasing an evil spirit objectively a more positive choice?
>>
>>82966219
And furthermore, the tree spirit keeps its word by saving the children. Your reasoning is bull shit. For the record I prefer to save the baron, I like how it plays out and I feel sorry for Anna even though I know she brought it on herself by being a mega whore. But I'm clever enough to know neither choice is right or wrong.
>>
>>82966071
Yes. I just read the passage in Blood of Elves.

My notion, that the pleasure effect could be related to Geralt's special case was wrong.

I wonder if the nature of the tingling and the intensity of it can change depending on which potions a witcher has imbibed.

I want some sorceress to keep her hand on a witcher, while I get him hammered, and see what changes.

Outcomes brother. Tree spirit could attack crones, tree spirit could be more evil. You save the children, a brainwashed village gets wiped out and the crones lose influence. You save baron but you know more and more kids are gonna get killed. It's literally whatever you'd rather go with is the right choice in this case, as there's no outcome that is more positive than another.

Your entire argument hinges on not knowing, and from this, you decide the best course of action is to free it. This is completely backwards. If you don't know, you don't fuck with it. You're just asking for unforeseen consequences otherwise.

>>82966373
Literally the only difference is that the Fyke Isle girl was an actual victim. Why the fuck would you be less likely to take her word than the tree spirit that's been driving the forest mad and murdering villagers?
>>
>>82966285
I didn't say the tree spirit lies, I said the crones don't. Even if it keeps its word, there is clear evidence that it's having a drastic effect on the land just by existing. It's not conjecture that the thing is having a horrible effect on the land either, it's driving the villagers insane and they're sleepwalking out to the tree to be killed by the wildlife the spirit uses to protect itself. The ground around the tree is fucking littered with the bones of children. Geralt makes a note of it. He uses this when he confronts the spirit, and it's dismissive of it. Children don't matter to it, neither do women. It used the children in the swamp as a bargaining tool for its freedom, nothing more.

>I'm saying that I don't think freeing the tree spirit is the wrong choice to make
And I'm disagreeing with that. It absolutely is the wrong choice to make.

You don't know what the consequences of freeing it are. All you know is that it is killing villagers and turning the wildlife violent. The only correct decision is to kill it to calm the forest and stop the killings. Anything else is based on nothing, pure conjecture, and hoping that everything will magically sort itself out.

>>82966493
So the stakes are even higher as you're releasing an extremely powerful spirit with highly questionable motives. How again are you justifying such a reckless decision?

Many years ago there was a rift in space that connected all planets and the planet the witcher series takes place was invaded by beings from other planets who to them seem like monsters. Fast forward a few thousand years humans start mutating some kids in order to create supersoldiers to kill these creatures and name them witchers. Fast forward a fw thousand years more the world is basically on europe 13th century state with the exception of monsters and magic. Witchers are now a dying breed and really disdained by most, so they roam the world looking to make a buck by putting their lives in danger.

When I had to follow Johnny back after getting his voice, he glitched out and wouldn't move, so I thought to run around looking for a trigger or something, thinking he needed something else, and stumbled upon the spirit's tree. I thought, what the hell, maybe this will trigger something. I released the spirit, then, went back to Johnny. He still didn't move so I saved and reloaded and it finally forced him to move. When I returned to the Crones to meet them, the kids were gone, but Anna never got cursed.

>>82966575
>All you know is that it is killing villagers and turning the wildlife violent.

You don't know that. Actually the only thing you know is that spirit is conflicted with crones, probably evil, and that it promises to save children that helped you.

Saving children from crones is legit reason to face the unknown and release it

especially for a moralfag like Gerrold
>>
>>82966751
in fact i didn't

>>82966815
They sent the children away because there were too many mouths to feed in the food shortage due to the war. It's explicitly mentioned multiple times throughout the story, especially in the bit with Ciri and the kid she finds.
The villagers don't have direct contact with the crones, they speak of them with reverence, but never actually meet them. The closest thing to a medium is Thecla, who chooses who gets sacrificed at the Sabbath. The crones don't share information with the villagers, which is clear the moment Geralt speaks to the ealdorman and he doesn't realize that the crones sent Geralt.

I never implied that. But they're clearly revering crones and they are under their influence, hence their opinions on whole situation don't count for shit

Except he investigates the tree, and finds that everything he's been told is true. Villagers are being drawn to the tree and killed, children among them. There's violent wildlife around the tree. When Geralt confronts the tree spirit about these things, it doesn't deny it, only offers an excuse. You have all the evidence you need to realize the spirit is evil by the point you have the chaoice to release it, but the spirit uses the kids as a bargaining chip for its freedom and plays on your empathy for them. It's the most basic diversionary tactic, and it's effective, but it doesn't change the fact that the tree spirit is killing innocent people.

Would you rather that the entire family died of hunger than sending one kid to their death? In nature, when there's not enough food for the family and the mother doesn't abandon one or more of its young, they all die. It's absolutely the lesser of two evils, but it's a necessity.

If the crones aren't sharing information with the villagers, how would they blame the tree spirit without knowledge of it? They do know, because it's from the legend of the Mother and that local knowledge is passed down. They aren't siding with the crones if they aren't receiving information from them. They came to that conclusion by themselves, based on prior knowledge.

You do know that, because you fucking investigate it, find evidence of it, and then when you confront the spirit, it makes excuses for it without denying it.

According to Sapkowski books and games (and movies for that matter) are separate and untranslatable mediums.

He opted for a lump sum because every other previous adaptation turned out to be utter shit, and he had no reason to think the game would be any different. Now hates himself for it. That's also the reason he is so willing to assist netflix in making this series.
>>
>>82967419
You ignored the alternative, which is that everyone dies. That's a worse outcome, no matter how you look at it. The 'trail of treats' is a convenient way of sending the kid off without them suspecting anything.

It's not local superstition when there's an ancient book available in many locations in the game backing up the story. In fact, the story is never told by anything but the book. Both the crones and the villagers refer to the spirit as a force of evil, with no mention of its origins. The book provides the answer.

No, Witcher 3 is a giant pile of shit, at least from a writing perspective

It would make a terrible book or a movie, at least the previous games were above average in the writing department and better than most of the books. Hell, Witcher 2 was better than all of the books, if we ignore the Iorveth branching path

I can understand why he would opt for a lump of cash, rather than royalties, since the original "Hexer" TV-series, is not very good - special effects and such - gif related... I do actually like that the silversword is curved like a katana, because the monsters are wearing armor, but their natual resilience is weakend by silver, so it makes sense to have blade that is designed to cleave meat when fighting them, although if they go this route now, then I fear it will be too weaboo...

witchers are stronger, faster and more durable than regular humans but from what ive seen it doesnt seem like that much. if it was geralt vs captain america, im pretty sure cap is both faster, stronger and more durable. but sometimes his depictions are inconsistent. i feel like the CGI trailer of the 3 nilfs was probably the most realistic depiction of his speed but in the in game cutscenes of witcher 2, he was cutting people apart like a motherfucker before they could even react.

That was his steel sword. His silver sword pops up a few times. It's a typical arming sword.

Also, a thing Geralt goes to talk about in the books is that the silver sword isn't even necessary for most monsters as they're just as susceptible to any old conventional harm like Humans are.
