Because Geralt wasn't supposed to be a random teenager power fantasy pretty boy with scars, but a borderline ugly and threatening motherfucker. Pic related.

They streamlined him to appeal to younger and broader crowds (obviously females, too). Pathetic.

>>377728581
He was white hair

>>377732546
He looked the best in witcher 2. Offputting, but not too ugly. In witcher 1 he looked like a mannequin.
>>
>>377732370
Why would he adopt Ciri?
She's a friend, at best. He saves her because only him can, but he probably knows that her duty is with the Empire.
>>
>>377732738
Not really, no. That's his description in the original books too. Geralt was never supposed to be some kind of male model. Or a model of any kind actually. They just streamlined his appearance in the game so he could be more accessible to the masses.
>>
>>377728581

I don't think /v/ can relate to him. /v/ is more of a beta bottom sub twink.

He literally says that she's like a daughter to him in W3 so you don't even have the excuse of not reading the books. What the fuck are you going on about?
>>
You are aware that The Elric Saga was never translated into polish and Sapkowski doesn't know more than a few words in english? The chances that he bought multiple books of some second-rate western fantasy in language he doesn't even know are slim to say at least. Besides, almost all lengthy fantasy sagas shares some ideas, it's hard to avoid unless you pull some really original, which neither of Elric or Witcher Saga is.

Second rate? Jump off a cliff. Elric saga is the reason we have alignments, Warhammer and DnD. More so than Tolkien. Don't diminish this series and by extension Moorcock's, influence over the fantasy genre.

Witcher was never meant for english speaking audience. When he was writing witcher it was not concern for him. Literally no one in poland knows about Elric.

>Literally no one in poland knows about Elric.
He did. And it doesn't excuse it. Nor do the decades since the fall of the Iron Curtain that he has refused to acknowledge the elements he took from Moorcock. A simple stamp of "oh i read Elric" isn't enough at this point.
>>
>>377735857
It's like being angry at Allmight from my hero academia because he is carbon copy of superman. Just chill and try to enjoy different things. Witcher and elric books are really different types of fantasy with different themes and values.

Because he's a Mary Sue in games. Idk about the book but the games' explanation of how bad ass he is boils down to mutations and chemical enhancements that made him functionally better than humans but also a hideous castrated monster.
But guess what? the faggot gets all the pussy anyway AND everyone wants to be his friend AND the only people who look down on him are also scared shitless of him and he clearly couldn't give a shit if everyone hated him because he's just that bad ass.

I don't hate him, but I don't find him very interesting, either. He's your stereotypical chad, just like 9 out of 10 protagonists in western triple A "games"/interactive movies.
>>
>>377738048
Because Gygax wore that influence on his shoulder and was never shy about saying it.

He did like to shit on Tolkien though

>Tolkien includes a number of heroic figures, but they are not of the "Conan" stamp. They are not larger-than-life swashbucklers who fear neither monster nor magic. His wizards are either ineffectual or else they lurk in their strongholds working magic spells which seem to have little if any effect while their gross and stupid minions bungle their plans for supremacy. Religion with its attendant gods and priests he includes not at all. These considerations, as well as a comparison of the creatures of Tolkien's writings with the models they were drawn from (or with a hypothetical counterpart desirable from a wargame standpoint) were in mind when Chainmail and Dungeons & Dragons were created.
>Take several of Tolkien's heroic figures for example. Would a participant in a fantasy game more readily identify with Bard of Dale? Aragorn? Frodo Baggins? or would he rather relate to Conan, Fafhrd, the Grey Mouser, or Elric of Melnibone? The answer seems all too obvious.
