What in Gods name would even happen in a Witcher 4? Play as Ciri? That would only be interesting if she lost her powers and besides everything is seriously wrapped up nicely at the end we dont need any more Witcher crap JUST LET THINGS BE god damn. Besides I would rather see cd project red make a space opera akin to mass effect but have it not turn into a goddamn mess.

>>86254869
the womanizer poet is a manlet though

>>86254615
It's going to suck.

CDPR is turning into Bioware. Fortunately they can't touch this series (but kind of a a shame, the directing and acting was pretty good in the games). But Netflix will ruin everything anyway. Geralt will be a generic edgelord. Ciri will be an all powerful Mary Sue. Yennefer will get Stannis'd.

>What in Gods name would even happen in a Witcher 4? Play as Ciri? That would only be interesting if she lost her powers and besides everything is seriously wrapped up nicely at the end
The game's ending is actually nonsensical so they could rewrite a lot if they wanted. Ciri could be interesting if written and designed properly but I no longer have faith they could do that. It's better to just let it die before CDPR ruins it.

>Besides I would rather see cd project red make a space opera akin to mass effect but have it not turn into a goddamn mess.
It's too late. Blood and Wine + P2W Gwent is CDPR's Mass Effect 2. Still good but the signs of rot are clearly there. By the time they start a new franchise, we'll be in full DAI/ME3 mode.

I'm curious to hear how you think cd project red is turning into bioware. Not facetious posturing I really want to hear you out there because I didnt see any signs of things becoming anywhere near as bad as bioware.

>>86255192
that sounds awful. she's not even a witcher.

>>86255354
See: >>86255224

TW3 is basicaly if Mass Effect 3 had been made by Bioware just after being acquired from EA. The warning signs are there but they're buried in good stuff. This combined with the emotional high from the ending of a beloved franchise that just rose to AAA status helps disguise it.

Remember, many of the first signs of Bioware's decay were only obvious in retrospect and appeared in games that were, at the time, still good. But having seen this pattern before, you can now identify the first symptoms.

The Witcher 3 is a good game. But it is not the game that the makers of TW2 would have made with the same budget. That publisher money changes you. In the race to say they had a bigger open world than Skyrim, they no longer put a priority on what got them to where they are in the first place, and what makes the Witcher series what it is suffered.

>>86255396
You don't have to be a witcher to hunt monsters. Most monster hunting isn't done by witchers anymore. The later games kind of obfuscate this for gameplay reasons, but it's true in-universe. She still has the body of knowledge a standard witcher would have and some of the training. Just no mutations or special abilities beyond what her own weirdo biology gives her.

I don't think CDPR could make her an interesting protagonist though, these days. A shame because it COULD be good if done right.

>>86255708
a woman can use a bow and arrow, Natalia Dyer however is an anorexic teen who shouldn't be doing any physical activity for fear of passing out

they should cast a woman who's actually healthy and physical fit as Milva, since she naturally would be in the books and show.

>>86255711
>did you forget to read Blood of Elves anon
Her role is too small to justify appearing in a TV adaptation.

>>86255744
>a woman can use a bow and arrow,
A woman can use claymore too. For awhile. It doesn't make it a good idea. Of course Milva preferred small bows, but watch her be a waif with a fucking long bow.

>>86255783
>Her role is too small to justify appearing in a TV adaptation.
She has entire sections of the story dedicated to her, when she is with Rusty during the battle of Brenna.

>>86255884
Brenna is too big of a clusterfuck of characters for TV, lots will be cut. Shani among them.

>pic
Not her though, they'll shoe horn in a retarded love triangle like in the games. Studios love that shit.

>>86255783
do you seriously not think women can use bows? They easily can with training. Milva's a fairly believable character for what she does, my problem with Natalia Dyer is that Milva wouldn't look anorexic, she'd be in great physical shape and fairly strong to use her bow, which Natalia absolutely isn't.

Also Shani has a small role but that doesn't mean she won't appear, she'll just be played by an unknown actress most likely

So how likely is it Triss just follows Geralt around all show, or a brand new character follows Geralt around? These shows really love dialog exchanges and Geralt won't do much of it without company. The show would do well with its own story rather than following stories of the novels and short stories.

>>86255910
That's book Triss

>>86255912
>do you seriously not think women can use bows?
I think they can but the idea that it's uniquely suited to women because they're ranged and don't require strength is pure myth propagated by movie studios and video games. Realistically a /fit/ woman would still have trouble with a longbow. It's hard work.

>Also Shani has a small role but that doesn't mean she won't appear, she'll just be played by an unknown actress most likely
I'm just being hyperbolic to piss off waifu fags. She'll probably appear because she offers a chance for sex scenes. But a ton of side characters will be cut and people will rage over it. Be ready.

>>86255917
Triss and Yen will be around frequently for muh love triangle drama even though it wasn't in the books.

>>86255952
Yes. And I'm saying she'll probably have an expanded role in the show, unlike most side characters.

>>86255917
isn't that pretty much Dandelion's role in the books?

>>86254615

Andrzej Sapkowski is a butthurt faggot who hates the games and thinks CDPR "ruined" his books, even though they're drugstore check out shelf tier writing. He's a serious shithead about it and would probably not allow CDPR anywhere near the show.

The writer of the Metro books, Dmitry Glukhovsky, has actually called him out for being a faggot about it and praising what games can do for a writer in expanding their novels universe and bringing them a much wider audience.

>>86254615
Oh boy more capeshit. It's like netflix originals are nothing but low budget sci fi/fantasy or really gay young adult shit

>>86255970
I don't think anyone ever said it was unique to women, I was just shutting down the idea of natalia dyer playing Milva. I'm sure you can see how she doesn't fit the role at all, since a physically able woman is needed to use a bow frequently and easily

>>86255224

As long as they depict her as the morally ambiguous and lying cunt that she is, and not as the shitty mary sue as in TW 2/3, I'm totally fine with it. There are many parts in the books where events involving her are briefly mentioned (i.e. her youth, visiting Geralt and Yen in Vengerberg, being btfod at Sodden). They could be turned into flashback scenes to add some padding to the show.

Witcher 2 got her right. She just loses all ambiguity in TW3 because they intended to write her out, but chickened out at the last second over waifufag response. Either way, she'll inevitably be the "nice girl" to Yen's "bad girl" and they'll both be shallow caricatures in the show.

>>86256253

That's a misconception. She says in the books the marks are barely even visible. She doesn't wear low necklines because of lingering trauma from the first time she saw herself post burns. Plus Triss is a drama queen. I mean think about it, her face was burned beyond recognition but now looks fine, but they can't fix some fatty tissue?

>>86256536
My favorite part was when the white frost died on its way back to its home dimension

>>86256546

>>86256553
She states something like: "I'm not going to be able to wear a low cut dress anymore" in Blood of Elves. If you want to interpret it as exaggeration by a drama queen be my guest. I like to think that she is now hideous on the outside as she is on the inside.

>>86256574
>unstoppable natural phenomena, akin to the death of a star or the cooling of the universe.

Jesus Christ what where they thinking.

>>86256450
They already confirmed they'd like to return to the Witcher one day, just that Geralt's story is done.

>>86256720
They did retcon that in the games, instead of the White Frost being the natural heat death that would inevitably occur in a couple of millenia they turned it into some magic force mumbo jumbo freezing whatever worlds it came across. Therefore Ciri being able to stop it with her immense magical power makes a bit more sense.
That change was still retarded as fuck though, don't get me wrong.

>>86256670
She also literally says you can barely see the marks. Are you gonna make me grab a fucking screen cap? I dislike Triss too but fact is she still has magnificent tits.

>>86256720
They forgot to make an ending. Too distracted from the mad scramble to fill in all the empty wilderness they created to write a story even 1/10th as good as TW2s, despite all they had to work with.

>>86255970

Probably exaggerated a bit but not even a lot that's the scary thing. Video games taught us for years bowmen are a small, light, agility type unit. They aren't. Longbows could be like 6 foot tall, the strength required to handle that is insane.

To be fair, Glukhovsky could do with some media promotion cause his writing can't defend itself on merit. Sapkowski written two series that will be classic for decades, totaling in 11 books. Glukhovsky only written two decent books so far (2033, 2035).

>>86257750
The fact that Ciri is Emhyr's daughter being common knowledge is the biggest and the weirdest fuckup as far as I'm concerned.

>What in Gods name would even happen in a Witcher 4?
You do a prequel, push it 100-200 years back and allow character creation. No cosmic level bullshit, just some standard intrigue/war/street level fantasy opponents. Or you push it forward, again character creation but with women this time (technology went forward, women can be witchers yada yada).

If anything they're going to have to go the game route and make her much more appealing personality-wise.

ASOIAF was far more obscure before tv. It was adapted because it was great source material for tv show, not because of it's recognition in target demo. Witcher series would be the same thing without games, and with them, public recognition is uncomparable to ASOIAF's pre-GoT levels.

I actually can't remember an outright lie Yennefer ever told Geralt. Even when she's being a cunt she's an honest cunt. She really will be the Stannis of this franchise when it comes to TV.

Here's the problem with Yen.

Leaving aside the question of whether it's TWU WUV, Destiny, or the Djonn, Geralt and Yen fundamentally do not work well together. They keep breaking up and making up, over and over and over again, and every time Geralt is expected to be the one who gives up his way of life to be with Yen. This doesn't work in the long run because of who they both are. Yen needs someone who is subservient, Geralt is not that person.

What we see over the course of the novels is another phase in the make-up/break-up cycle. We don't get to see if it would work in the long term because they both die before settling down. Past history indicates they might get six months to a year together before Yen's demanding, bitchy nature is too much for Geralt and he nopes the fuck out of there for the sake of his own sanity.

There is absolutely nothing to say that this time around will be different, no matter how much certain bookfags cling to that idea. Maybe it will, but we never find out- and if their past history (and IRL examples) are anything to go by, it won't end well. Again.

Stay away from my games Netflix!

So you only read the first two, got it.

>and every time Geralt is expected to be the one who gives up his way of life to be with Yen
Geralt hates his way of life. Again, if you read the books, you'd know. But he's a neurotic fuck so terrified of abandonment he always makes sure he's the one that bales first.

>Yen needs someone who is subservient, Geralt is not that person.
Yen hates Geralt's self-loathing and wishes he had more of a spine. Again, if you'd read the books, you'd know.

>What we see over the course of the novels is another phase in the make-up/break-up cycle.

fucking this. the only time they ever lived together for a longer period of time, geralt got frustrated and escaped in the middle of the night without even saying a proper goodbye. we don't ever get to see them functioning together, only short periods of fucking and being somewhat happy before they break off again. they can never work out long term. their past history speaks for itself.

and what happens when ciri grows up and leaves on her own? the assumption that she's the only thing that can make geralt and yen work is only valid as long as ciri's a child. even then it's questionable, they never spend any significant time together, all three of them, maybe a few weeks at best in lady of the lake. not nearly enough to prove that geralt and yen can now magically work together.

>>86258576
>>86258688
Here's what you're missing.

If that's true, they're both just fucked forever. Because Geralt is as much a relationship autist as Yen, just in an avoidant way instead of an antagonistic way. Since the books that focus the most on this relationship are entirely from his perspective, you don't see it highlighted, because Geralt isn't self aware. But it's there. Just suddenly bailing in the middle of the night out of nowhere (and this is implied to have happened multiple times) is the behavior of a child just as much as Yennefer's tantrums in those two books are. If they can't make it work together, they can't make it work with anyone, since despite the issues they're the only ones that remotely understand the other while maintaining romantic interest.

Of course they actually both go through a lot of character development in the books. They're not who they are in the Last Wish. The books give every indication they could make it work, now, which is why the constant interruptions from outside forces work as tragedy.

Of course, if you come here as a gamer or waifufag who just wants to pick his favorite harem member, none of that works because now you have reason to justify to yourself how Triss/Keira/Shani/Ves/That Baker With the Huge Butt would be better for Geralt (meaning, you). Fortunately gamers mostly don't read so it's not a problem.

That's not the point. The growth they've had with each other combined with the emotional catharsis and forced sacrifices they have to make for Ciri make them grow as people instead of being selfish emotional cowards terrified of love. She's the catalyst for making them stop being autists, not a magic anti-autist field. (In fact, in non-autistic people, Ciri has been known to cause autism)

>That's not in question wikifag, if you'd read the books you'd know.

>hurr wikifag durr

Dude, the books are purposely obfuscatory about it and never, ever give a straight answer. I think it's more likely than not that the Djin was resposible, and have thought that ever since I read The Last Wish back in '08 or so. There's a reason they went with that interpretation in the games and I'm sorry it ruffles your MUH HEADCANON feathers to suggest otherwise.

>So you only read the first two, got it.

Last Wish and Sword of Destiny indicate they keep doing this. I'm sorry you didn't read them. Ironically if you had read a wiki you would know better, but...

>Geralt hates his way of life.

And is also incapable of giving it up. He's actually pretty happy to wander and kill monsters, what gives him the shits is being dragged into every political plot going by retards who just won't let him be a Witcher. Lambert is the one who hates being a Witcher.

>literal happy ever after ending is canon

It's explicitly not canon because Sapkowski wrote it as a wedding gift for a Yen/Geralt fan.

Which you would know if you were actually any kind of familiar with the source material, but you aren't. Your REEE WIKIFAG and REEE GAMEFAG bullshit is incredibly hypocritical,

>>86258812
you describe everything i hate about geralt and yen. it's a shitty unrealistic relationship that can only work in fantasy. it heavily relies on tropes and cliches like destiny and love at first sight. it expects the reader to believe it becasue the author says so, without giving any substantial, realistic foundation to it. it is not written as a believable relationship and anyone who's ever had one can see that.

>>86258864
>Dude, the books are purposely obfuscatory about it and never, ever give a straight answer. I think it's more likely than not that the Djin was resposible,
It's suggested in the book a djinn can't actually do that, in the very same book. And in the very next book, dragonbro says they're basically perfect for each other but fucked anyway, because they need something more.

>Last Wish and Sword of Destiny indicate they keep doing this. I'm sorry you didn't read them. Ironically if you had read a wiki you would know better, but...
There are five more books in the main line.

>And is also incapable of giving it up. He's actually pretty happy to wander and kill monsters, what gives him the shits is being dragged into every political plot going by retards who just won't let him be a Witcher. Lambert is the one who hates being a Witcher.
He was going to be done with it but he had to do his one last good deed and got Rob'd. And again, this "Oh he actually just loves it and only wishes politics would stop interrupting" thing only gets any support in the games. In the books he does it because it's all he knows and resents the choices that were made for him every bit as much as Lambert does in TW3.

>It's explicitly not canon because Sapkowski wrote it as a wedding gift for a Yen/Geralt fan.
I'm not talking about Something Ends, Something Begins wikifag. If you really wanted to try to pull this card you would have brought up the indication that Ciri may be an unreliable narrator in regards to what happens after Rivia. But you didn't, as I knew you wouldn't, because you never read that book.

>>86258812

>If that's true, they're both just fucked forever.

I think they're just fucked for each other. Geralt is willing to compromise to an extent, Yen not at all. Maybe Yen can find someone who is blinded by her radiance (or just mind control the living shit out of them, as she seems to like doing) and will give up everything to make her happy, but all Geralt really seems to need is someone who'll let him wander around a bit and hunt the occasional monster. And also have friends, because Yen goes into full bitchmode about all of his every time, which is never a good sign.

Again, maybe they could make it work after the novels. *Maybe.* I think Geralt has had it up to the eyeballs with everyone's shit and just wants to stop for a while. I think Yen just wants to run off and be with him. Sure. But that's just another round of the honeymoon/infatuation phase with no idnication either have actually changed enough as people to make it work. Geralt is certainly not going to magically become a bitch boy willing to do whatever Yen wants, unless she mind controls him again. And Yen is extremely unlikely to give up her controlling nature.

>>86258576
>Geralt and Yen fundamentally do not work well together.
That's irrelevant. They are supposed not to work well together, at least until the very ending of the story. Relationships in novels, or any other form of media that isn't games, are supposed to be entertaining. Who the fuck wants a lovey dovey high school romance where both partners understand and love each other from the very beginning?
The only faggots that want the type of safespace romance, where basically the MC picks a waifu and she melts for him instantly and for life, are gamer babbys looking for a RPG dating simulator.
In other forms of entertainment (books, movies, tv shows) this ruins everything. It is boring as fuck. Entertainment is full of love triangles, tormented relationships, breakups and makeups for a reason: it's entertaining.

>Geralt is expected to be the one who gives up his way of life to be with Yen.
Geralt WANTS to give up his way of life. He is fucking tired of risking his life every day for a handful of coppers. At the beginning of the story he is reluctant because up to that point, that's the only way of living he had known. By the end of the last novel, as he is talking with Zoltan in Rivia, he clearly states that after meeting Yen and Ciri, he realized that he now has something very important to lose if he dies.
The same goes for Yennefer. Her whole life she engaged in various shenanigans in a desperate hope to find a way to restore her motherhood. At the end of the novels she no longer needs to do anything of that.

>Yen needs someone who is subservient
Yeah... subservients betas are teh shit. Attract hot, independent, strong and bossy women like Yen like magnets. Fuck off please.

>, but all Geralt really seems to need is someone who'll let him wander around a bit and hunt the occasional monster.

Yes, in the book where a lot of the stuff that people believe about Djinns is shown to be wrong. Funny how you fail to mention that part.

>There are five more books in the main line.

I know. And those novels tell an ongoing story where Geralt and Yen get back together again, just like all the times in LW and SoD where that happened and failed. It's almost like there's a pattern or some shit.

Hint: There's actually two patterns. One is exactly this in the books, the other is you wilfully ignoring everything that doesn't support your thesis because, surprise surprise, the books DON'T ACTUALLY SAY THE SHIT YOU CLAIM THEY DO.

>buh buh I didn't mean Something Begins, Something Ends.

Go on, then. Tell me how the other one is a happy ending. Because I would classify being stuck on a magical island they can't leave for the term of their unnaturally long lives even if they can't work together to be pretty close to a hellish existence and not much better even if they are somewhat happy together because, again, fucking trapped on a magical island.

By the person suggesting Geralt's wish is probably not possible.

I clearly can't convince you otherwise but consider why this is the story Sapkowski chose to focus on instead of any other instance of this cycle?

>Go on, then. Tell me how the other one is a happy ending.

Well realistically the whole "Shipped to the Isle of Avalon" thing would probably be pretty boring but it's never portrayed that way in fiction and this is no exception. You seriously think Sapkowski wrote that as a prelude to Yennefer going mad in a fit of existential angst over being trapped in purgatory and turning Geralt into dragon dildo?

Nobody is denying this shit happened. Just that it may not matter, and probably won't given who the two of them are and their past history together. Some things have changed. I just don't think enough has, and we never get to find out any way.

>he literally climbs out windows rather than compromise

Because the "compromise" is "immediately doing what Yen says, when Yen says it, 100% of the time." If you think this is actual compromise, you might need the aid of a dictionary.

>Ah the Geralt loves being a witcher meme still.

He's fine with the Witchering. He's a lot less fine with every fucking noble on the planet trying to hire him to kill someone else, trying to kill him because they're mad about something, or trying to go after Ciri.

>"Stop telling me you're worried about what the potions are doing to my body FUCK YOU MOM"

both sets of waifufags are horrible:

trissfags are obsessed babies that fap to pictures of triss all day long. they imagine triss as a princess and fawn over the disney like romance she has in the games while being oblivious to her flaws.

yenfags are dramatic edgelords that can't accept anyone's interpretation but their own. they get angry and bitchy about anyone who points out yen's flaws even though they themselves like to claim that she's a complex, morally grey character, yet they ignore or whitewash her every flaw by using illogical head canon explanations.

fuck them 'till they die i say

>>86259362
This is precisely why the best waifu is Ciri.

The clash between bookfags and showfags in /got/ is already nothing compared to the clash between bookfags and game fags in /wtc/. Imagine what these threads will be like when the first season is out.

>>86259362
This is true which is why it's sad they had to turn this into a waifu thing. It just taints the actually good characters involved. And the analogy still holds up.

Everything I've heard about him makes him sound like a massively entitled dickbag.

He regards himself as the messiah of Polish fantasy, demands people treat him as such, and apparently doesn't get invited to certain conventions because he gets too handsy with female attendees and expects them to respond to him like they had full-on Beatlemania for him.

Plus he is incredibly butthurt about the games being more well-known than his books and them being the only reason his books are popular outside of certain European countries.

I will never not be mad he is cut content.

>>86254615
Are the books worth it?

>>86259690

He took a more conciliatory tone about the games for a while but has been pretty assblasted a number of times over them. I think he's mostly pissed that he didn't sign the rights over for a cut of the take and takes out his anger by talking gaming in general down.

Triss voted for Hillary because Philippa told her to
Geralt intended to vote for McMuffin but he forgot to register
Dandelion was a Bernout

Kinda hard to say, anon.

The early English translations by Danusia Stok are pretty bad. They're overly verbose and probably hew a bit too close to transliterating the original Polish. Later ones with the new translator are better but you're always going to be dealing with the problem of the books not originally being written in English (or whatever your native language is if you aren't Polish).

The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny are actually pretty good. If you like them, give the novels a go but be prepared for them not to live up to the hype.

>>86259766
>I will never not be mad he is cut content.
It's one of the biggest travesties of the disaster that was TW3's development.

>>86259814
Every time I've seen him get assblasted it's been because he was asked about the games at someplace that was supposed to be talking about the books, usually something stupid like Triss vs Yen or how much of a sequel they are when he's already made his feelings clear. This used to happen less before the games got so big they started drawing in the Bioware audience.

Sapkowski did nothing wrong.

>>86259766
In the latest interview I've seen with him, he said that while he doesn't play games and can't comment on the story in them, they look great, CDPR did a good job, and that he was happy to answer their questions during development.

>>86259806
They're pretty good but they won't be as good as Polish fags tell you or as bad as butthurt Gamefags tell you. Just try for yourself. Don't read the fan translations though, they're shit.

>>86259873
This Anon knows what's up.

>>86259873
Thanks anon, I don't expect much of it, jsut wanna know if it's a complete waste of time or not.

>>86259914
Be aware they got published in English out of order. The first book released is Last Wish, which is correct. After that though, the second book Sword of Destiny, was the FIFTH published, for retarded reasons. For that reason it's also one of the best translations and book three, Blood of Elves, will seem weak in comparison. After that it's straight sailing.

Last Wish>Sword of Destiny>Blood of Elves>Time of Contempt>Baptism of Fire>Tower of the Swallow>Lady of the Lake

Let's be honest. While Sapkowski had a notable success with the books before the games were a thing, the reality is that The Witcher books were a niche title mostly popular in Eastern Europe and his native Poland. The games did something he never managed to do, reached international recognition and penetrate the western market(the most profitable one by far). The games brought many new fans and for most of them the name Witcher is synonymous with the video games.

Something Sapkowski created is now mostly recognized as someone else's creation and that has to make you salty. If you also consider that it's on a medium Sapkowski thinks of as lesser and the fact that CDPR made hundreds of millions on it while he passed on a chance for royalties also has to hurt.

Thanks anons, I'll give it a go, a kindle will probably give me access to the english versions since I don't live in an english-speaking country.

>>86259971
Yeah I'd be butthurt too. It's partially his fault for picking a shitty English publisher, to be fair. And if we're being honest, games are currently an inferior medium. Regardless of your thoughts on their inherent validity as an artform or their potential, when stuff like The Witcher, Planescape: Torment, and Metal Gear are some of the best things your medium has to offer, you've got a lot of growing to do.

>>86260022
>a kindle will probably give me access to the english versions since I don't live in an english-speaking country.
What languages do you speak? Some of the translations are considered better than the English version.

Were the previous italian translations any good? Pirate an ebook and check. I know I've stayed away from the translations in my native language because they're absolutely garbage. For example, the term "witcher" didn't carry over as it is - Geralt keeps getting called the equivalent of "hunter" for some bloody reason.

>>86260620
I'm constantly annoyed by the use of the word "Chapter" in the English version. The games used a much more appropriate translation of what the books are talking about. Also the choice of "the Force" to describe the power that fuels magic has obvious issues.

When will people learn the novels are shit for the most part.

>>86257825
Classics? Literal who outside of a couple of shit slav countries until CDPR came around.

I hope they will do stand alone short stories like in the first book. Have there very subtle interconnecting thread, that good explore into forefront in later seasons, but first seasons, do it like the first book.

>>86260834

I think some anon said they had hired the guy who wrote or directed the cinematic intro for the first game to do the show.

Doing the Striga thing over an ep or two would be a reasonably good intro to the world. Get to see a bit of Vizima, meet Foltest, see what Geralt is and how he hunts.

Either that or A Question of Price.

Maybe the short story with Nivellan.

More like morally edgy.
She lacks any defined morals for most of the story. Basically goes from being an immature sheltered little girl to doing lots of stupid irresponsible shit as soon as she is on her own. And paying the consequences of it.

>>86261975
It will not be depicted as rape, but sweet consensual sex among two tuff gurrls that need no man, as we all know that women can't rape, only CiS white males do.

I used to imagine a skinny-strong Powers Booth as Bonhart but now it will never happen.

>>86261975
It's more likely than you think.

>>86262062
Yes but the circumstances that brought her there made sense. In such borderline conditions at such a young she didn't have the luxury of devising a fully formed moral system. Meanwhile, except maybe in the first book or book and a half, Yennefer and Geralt have pretty well developed moral systems that they adhere to pretty strongly (admittedly they're both a bit far on the individualist end of the spectrum by modern standards, but still).Their failings aren't moral ones, but rather are purely in the realm of personal relationships. So while they're complex characters, they're not morally grey at all.

The chief antagonist of the book series is a man driven in part by mommy issues and a hatred of women. Maybe that will be enough to get them to excuse the blatantly hypocritical feminazis that Philippa and co are portrayed as?

I'm really really worried that with it being live action, they won't do the incredible witcher fighting style/choreography justice.

If it looks like fairly normal swordfighting, lots of clashes, blocks, standing still etc. I'm gonna be quite sad. I wanna see live action Geralt gracefully pirouetting, parrying and dodging to slice people's arteries and vitals without ever having to stop moving.
