Why didn't the mages just teleport out of Novigrad?

>>381328561
Teleportation is not very safe and is usually used mostly on short distances. Only natural teleports allow you to travel high distances. Or Ciri's power.
The Pen & Paper Witcher RPG gives maximum distance of mage Teleportation to be 5km.

Because they wanted to pander to trissfags.

>>381328561
They need the equipment which is a big setup of a mirror and some gem and shit, whatever it's called. You see it in W2, I think.

But Triss and Yen teleport all the time.

Is Yen the hottest character ever?

Only the most powerful mages can make portals and you can only bring one or two along with you, not to mention that it's draining as fuck to do.

>>381331187
Only Ciri can teleport.

>>381331376
Then what's that magic thing that Triss and Yen do that transports them?

>>381331376
Keira could teleport just fine

>>381328561
Pride

Doesn't the actual explanation has something to do with Dimeritium all over the city?

Geralt hates portals and they didn't want to upset him

The games are also better than the books, Sapkowski is a fucking hack.

Death is a personal matter, arousing sorrow, despair, fervor, or dry-hearted philosophy. Funerals, on the other hand, are social functions. Imagine going to a funeral without first polishing the automobile. Imagine standing at a graveside not dressed in your best dark suit and your best black shoes, polished delightfully. Imagine sending flowers to a funeral with no attached card to prove you had done the correct thing. In no social institution is the codified ritual of behavior more rigid than in funerals. Imagine the indignation if the minister altered his sermon or experimented with facial expression. Consider the shock if, at the funeral parlors, any chairs were used but those little folding yellow torture chairs with the hard seats. No, dying, a man may be loved, hated, mourned, missed; but once dead he becomes the chief ornament of a complicated and formal social celebration.

John Steinbeck

All along the south coast of Cape Wrath rose crumbling stone watchtowers, raised in ancient days to give warning of Dornish raiders stealing in across the sea. Villages had grown up about the towers. A few had flowered into towns.
The Peregrine made port at the Weeping Town, where the corpse of the Young Dragon had once lingered for three days on its journey home from Dorne. The banners flapping from the town’s stout wooden walls still displayed King Tommen’s stag-and-lion, suggesting that here at least the writ of the Iron Throne might still hold sway.

None of those guys were "evil". They had some grayish motivations while whoreson jr was the guy that rapes women, which is worst thing a living being could ever do to another human being t. feminism which is why hes very ugly.

I'm currently reading Last Wish and it's pretty good.

Dacey Mormont, who seemed to be the only woman left in the hall besides Catelyn, stepped up behind Edwyn Frey, and touched him lightly on the arm as she said something in his ear. Edwyn wrenched himself away from her with unseemly violence. ‘‘No,’’ he said, too loudly. ‘‘I’m done with dancing for the nonce.’’ Dacey paled and turned away. Catelyn got slowly to her feet. What just happened there? Doubt gripped her heart, where an instant before had been only weariness. It is nothing, she tried to tell herself, you are seeing grumkins in the woodpile, youare become an old silly woman sick with grief and fear. But something must have shown on her face. Even Ser Wendel Manderly took note. ‘‘Is something amiss?’’ he asked, the leg of lamb in his hands.

George RR Martin

Yes, now I can remember that night when I fucked you for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if a gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora’s fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also.

The short stories are good.
The rest ranges from decent (Time of Contempt) to complete garbage (the last two books).

>>381337540
I wouldnt recommend the ciri saga at all.

>>None of those guys were "evil"

>King of the Knive-ears who killed the former king and would genocide the whole world for the powers of Ciri, and collects the souls of evil people whilst twirling his little mustache

naah not evil

>Cossack-man who sold his soul to a demon for immortality and a lack of morality who cursed a prince for a woman, who he latter locked away with some pancake-faced monster and a demon dog and cat, who also kills/rapes and plunders for the thrill of it

a bit gray-ish

>a vampire

>>381337540
Pleb.

Better question is why didn't the mages just destroy anyone who tried to fuck with them?

It's stupid that magic users have to be weak so that retards who just want to hit things with metal sticks can compete.

>>381337695
What are your thoughts on the series? Like I said I'm mostly through Last Wish and I'm enjoying it but I keep seeing mixed thoughts about some of the other books, especially the later ones.

>>381337870

it's like, not every mage is a powerful as the witches of the lodge and most of them are just Alchemists and herbalists

Or hair dressers.

Why didn't they just steal a bunch of horses and rode out right through the city gates? It worked for a bunch of literal clowns under higher security.

>>381338068
I liked the last books as well, since Sapkowski actually dared to go all out. Some of his wit and style is however lost in translation, so it's hard to accurately judge the quality of the writing unless you're polish.
