They said the same thing about using a real Bruxa. I’m glad they did though, was my favourite episode
I didn't post because of the peta complaint, I don't want to start a thing, I just want someone to tell me where in the series these animals appear because I honestly don't remember seeing them.
I don’t remember them at all but my guess would be in the market? I’m going to do a rewatch so I’ll keep an eye out.
I remember seeing a lemur somewhere, but I can't remember where. Probably one of the cities.
What does that mean?
Nah, he decided to sure for millions and CDPR paid something to him.
Just finished season 2. Thought it was fantastic, possibly my favourite current running show.
I never understood why people get all butt hurt when a tv show deviates from a game or a book that it is built off of. Some random guy made up this book from his imagination, and some other random guy is making his version of a tv show based off of it. It doesn't have to follow it. At all. Stop being such nerds. It's fine. It's literally all fiction and as long as it's entertaining and has a good story, who gives a feck? If you like the book so much, just read the book again if you want to relive that exact storyline.

Yen not white innit.
Can't be. The poster seemed so pleasant so there is no way they could harbor such feelings.
Surprisingly I think that is the first time I have been called a twat in my life. The American vocabulary is not as refined, I guess.
Yeah, you'd basically just have the exact same story across 3 different forms of media, books, games and TV. Would be pointless reading/playing/watching all 3 in that case.
It could be loyal as hell to the books but people would complain "that's not how I imagined it looking".
Consider it a badge of honour. All you need now is to be called "arsehole", "dickhead" and "massive tit" and you get a free MAGA hat.
Got two more episodes to watch but I've enjoyed it more than season one I have to say. Seems to have a bit more clarity than the first season which had too many time skips. The actress playing Triss has really grown on me and Yen and Ciri are both well done I think.
We're halfway through Season 2. The missus is enjoying Geralt and I'm enjoying Yennefer's absolutely perfect honkers.
It's not sexist of we're both being perverts, right?

I lived in Alabama, they came monthly with the electrical bill.
but I'm also calling bullshit on "electrical bill". Like Scotland that place is still powered by steam and dragons.No, it's called foreplay.
Wrong again, Alabama is powered by the love of our lord and savior JC.
Anyone got a video recap for The Witcher games 1&2, I've just downloaded no.3 so could do with a recap.
The Witcher 3 is only £6.99 on the ps store btw if anyone fancys buying it.

Hope you got the DLCs too
I don't think I have mate, it was just the game of the year version, is it worth buying?
GOTY edition has the two DLCs, which are some of the best parts of the game. So definitely worth it.
Thats the edition I bought, if there's any other DLC I need to buy I'll happily buy it
We’ll, I should’ve said all the DLCs and the 2 Expansion Packs which are the big ones. So nothing else to buy. I don’t know how much time you have for a recap, but this was a good one. She also did one on TW1 but I don’t know if that’s necessary.
As Organic Potatoes said there are 2 Game Expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine, for Witcher 3 and the GOTY version comes with both of them.
Best 6.99 you’ll spend.
It's a ridiculous price for such a game
I mean, how many triple A games ever drop that low? I'd say it's still worth like £70, easily.
Especially when you factor in the DLC's as well. So much great content and at least 100 hours of gameplay there. I remember spending about 20 hours doing stuff in Novigrad during my first play through where I didn't even leave the city and go anywhere else for that whole time.It's a ridiculous price for such a game
I'd say it's still worth like £70, easily.
I need to pick that up again at some point.
So, what you are saying is that you were just hanging at the Passiflora?
I think I spent over 20 hours in white orchard thinking "this is feckin massive" ... The smallest section of the map
Not just the Passiflora…
That's right. Can't forget Crippled Kate's
Well showrunner said many times how adaption will be true/faithful to the books so it's partly her fault by creating the expectations on that front.
feck it, downloaded the game. Saw that the ps5 update to the game is due to come out next year after it was delayed, but I'll just do the normal until then. Didn't properly play it the first time around but now that I know all the characters/story better, I think I'll enjoy it more.
I played and enjoyed Witcher 3, and I thought the first season of the Netflix show was fine. But man, its a slog getting through the 2nd season (I'm about 3 or 4 episodes in). I just find it boring, and the characters are pretty one dimensional. The monsters & battles with them look great, except there is little tension since its obvious Geralt isn't going to get killed.
I can't place my finger on it, but it just feels more like a 90s Hercules/Xena show with a much higher budget than an epic like Game of Thrones. While its hard to compare the two shows, since one is about a central character and the other about a massive world with multiple main characters, I just feel show Witcher could use some of the grittiness, writing & depth of characters early GoT had. I started Wheel of Time, and it has the same vibe, like a Hallmark channel Christmas movie version of an epic show. Good characters are obviously good. Shady characters look and act shady, and so on.
I'm hoping the Lord of the Rings tv show doesn't have this same vibe. I'm terrible at explaining what I mean but hopefully it makes sense.

Just finished season 2, and it's not what i expected. Season 1 seemed to set us up for a condensed version of the novels, but season 2 went of these envisioned rails quickly and thoroughly. I have no idea where they are going with all of this, really. It also doen't help that I don't feel any of the main characters made any meaningful progression over the course of the season. Even Yennefer, without going into spoilers, is basically back at where she was at the end of last season. The whole season felt like one giant filler to me, but filler waiting for what?
Just finished Season 2 and I enjoyed it more than the first season but it doesn't quite grip me the way GoT did. Will look forward to season 3 though.
Still love Witcher 3 the game more than the books and the TV series. Sorry, not sorry

That's not fair, lots of stuff happened. The elves are coming back in full force and Ciri discovered her true powers, and.....
Holy shit, you might be right.
In continued fairness (aren’t we all pleasant tonight) the Blood of Elves (book this season was based on) was lacking in action. I did think Ciri grew quite a bit and Yen had growth as well when with Jasker.
Time of Contempt (next book) is one of my favorites. If adapted well it should be good, but it does lack in “monster hunting”.
