What's the status of Ciri's virginity at the end of the novels?

Hussite trilogy > Witcher

t: Czech this out

she's a dyke

I can't wait to see Triss diarrhoea in moving pictures

Can't wait for the salt and backlash when people notice it's directly based off the books and not CDPR vision of the Witcher.

What character will be handled worst? My bet is on Dandelion or Ciri.

Probably gone shortly after the ending, since she sets off hand in hand with a young Sir. Galahad to whom she already flashed all her goods hours before.

I agree
t. silesian, I find it neat that for once half of the book locations are withing a drive from where I live

Probably Dandelion if they fuck up the casting, but there's a lot that can go wrong with all the characters.

I highly doubt that normies will care about the show not having anything to do with the game. The only mad individuals will be waifu autists, and I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

They'll probably fuck up all sorceresses

>trissfags

Geralt will be too edgy.
Dandelion will be a generic fag.
Sorceresses average retarded bimbo sluts.
Zoltan alcoholic dwarf nazi or sth

What about factions and locations? Are you worried about any particular ones?

shes the second biggest whore in the entire series user

I hope they won't make the Lodge into feminist empowering bullshit. And please don't make the witchers some kind of highly organized brotherhood.

Lodge WAS feminist empowering bullshit. There was even a passage in the books about how they considered men unfit to make important decisions.

Haven't read the books but didn't most people hate witchers? They'll probably tone it down.

I mean I hope they won't show them in a positive light because of that.

I'd say most people don't know much about them except for superstitions. Things kinda change as Geralt becomes somewhat of a celebrity.

This show isn't even going to exist for like another two years or something, do we really need a constant general for it?

scoia'tael will probably be made more sympathetic

Ciri skating on the frozen misty lake and slaughtering the mercenaries aka the most kino scene in the books.

>most people hate witchers?
Kind of, it's not as bad as the games show it though.

How will normies react to this?

Wasn't that a love story.

Ugh, a bit annoying how they're copying Beauty and the Beast.

Most people act indifferently to witchers in the books. They are for the most part just seen as relics from the past. Very few people actually have a problem with them. Of course, the games played up that angle to make the player feel special.

Weak bait.

pol in the loo

kek I'm saying that's what normies will think.

That's a great image. Artist's name?

>Yenlets

I doubt they can find anyone for Geralt that won't be pure cringe to watch.

Alexandre Mokhov, but I think that picture was all he did on The Witcher.

I love the books but the author is such a faggot it's actually incredible. I've never seen anyone treat his fans with such an autistic amount of contempt before.

I don't think his nickname was supposed to be a literal description.

Cdpr made it actually good though. The books are bioware levels of shitty writing,

source? I heard he's an alcoholic but autistic hate of his fans seems a bit fst fetched.

Dandelion will be gay.
Geralt will be black.

How come? I find him amusing.

I suggest you bring this weak level bait to Sup Forums or /vg/, where it might actually work.

Sapkowski is a fucking atrocious writer you nigger, fuck off.

>cuck faggot rustled by old polish fart

>yo, I'm looking for an alcohlic hack with lotr fanfiction style prose with an edgy twist
>got you covered senpai

Basically he took a tiny lump sum instead of royalties for video game rights, calling CDPR faggots and that their stupid games would never take off. He's anal pained about it to this day, every interview with him where he brings it up is pitiful to watch.
>readers who found out about my work through the games aren't REAL fans
>the game series is a faithless shit blight on MUH LEGACY

the books got worse with each installment and the short story collections were miles better than the saga
besides the translated books are shit and feel bland, unless you're polish or at least slavic you're not gonna feel the atmosphere and appreciate the writing

still, some parts of the games are better than the a lot of the boring shit we see in the saga

I love this picture so much.

>the game series is a faithless shit blight on MUH LEGACY
Source? Most of the shit surrounding Sapkowski is fabricated.

Woops. I meant this one:
>readers who found out about my work through the games aren't REAL fans

Short story fags are the worst.

he's also delusional enough to believe that the games benefit from fhe books' popularity and not the other way around

he even indirectly called the fans of the games idiots

>delusional enough to believe that the games benefit from fhe books' popularity
That's true for the first and second game you cockmongler.

It's weird, in one interview he'll say he's upset and mad at himself for not taking royalties or consulting CDPR on their games at all, but that he thinks they're well made and faithful creations of his work. Then in another he'll come off as a raving drunk who thinks fans brought in by the game's success aren't even human beings.

I loved all the little nods to events in the books. Memory loss was a convenient way to let a player control Geralt in an RPG environment while still keeping true to the book universe.

t. CDPR

He's a cheeky old drunkard with a strange sense of humor, don't take it so seriously.

>fabricated

>recordings of his meetings with fans at conventions are fabricated
>authorized press interviews are fabricated

the books were only really popular in poland in the 90's, the game came out in 2007 and I'm pretty sure most people who played it never read the books before

>the story of a videogame is better than the books from which 80% of said story is blatantly copypasted, along with the setting and characterization.
Please, come back when you have finally reached mental maturity and stopped believing in the meme that videogames can be "art".

>dodging the fact that he's an awful writer
Kill yourself immediately, Andrej.

but the story from the books isn't copypasted into the games, there's actually a lot of original stuff and good new characters in them

I tried to cast the show. What do you think?

It's still just elaborate fan-fiction which gets a pass because it's a video game. W3 has some moments of brilliance but when judging the writing as a whole package, it's not very good and it's full with holes and contradictions.

That's true, but still better than books

Everyone except for Vilgefortz and Regis seem perfect desu. The actor for Vilgefortz seems too young and boyish and Regis seems too much of a middle aged dad than an ancient and profoundly intelligent vampire.

...

>dodgning the fact that you sound like a retard for shitting in the same bowl you eat from.

>there's actually a lot of original stuff and good new characters in them
Yeah, plenty original stuff it's in the games. Like what? Syanna a.k.a. copypasted Renfri? or Priscilla a.k.a. bootleg Essi Daven? or Morkvark a.k.a. death-metal Nivellen? Do I have to go on?
Or the entire empress ending a.k.a. "WAT IF the ending of Lady of the Lake was actually the shitty one, with added nonsense"
Or the entire setting and entire bestiary?

You can tell me he is a Hack all you want, but if to that you also add that games are better you automatically invalidate your opinion.

nah, better luck next time

you post this in every thread as if maybe that might somehow make your choices less shit

it doesn't

>people are still posting Mads as Geralt without realizing he's too old

That's fan casting in a nutshell. Always saying someone who is 10-20 years too old for a role.

Imagine being Geralt in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Triss Merigold, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight dress and horrific androgynous monster face. I would totally have sex with you, both my game character and the book character." when all he really wants to do is fuck Yennefer in his dressing room. Like seriously imagine having to be Geralt and not only sit in that chair while Triss Merigold flaunts her disgusting body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing her burn scars and leathery skin, and just sit there, attempt after attempt, hour after hour, while she perfected that dance. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking visage but her haughty attitude as everyone tells her she's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, TRISS MERIGOLD LOOKS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch her mannish fucking gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of black-haired sorceresses, sometimes with unicorns for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Kaer Morhen. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her dimpled stomach as she sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in her "statuesque (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with magic in the previous months. And then she runs through the maze, and you know you could kill every single person in this party before the guards could put you down, but you walk there and endure, because you're fucking Geralt of Rivia. You're not going to lose your future in Toussaint over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

Never gets old.

Trissfags btfo

How so? Geralt is around 70 at the beginning of the books, and looks like he is in his mid/late 40s.
The problem with mads is that he is too famous nowadays and Netflix will never be able to afford him.

...

The worst offender for this is all the idiots suggesting Eva Green for Yennefer, maybe following it up with a fucking decade old photo of her from Casino Royale or some shit.

She looks a lot older now and age is getting to her. A near-40 year old woman should not be portraying a character who literally uses magic to maintain her youth, beauty and physical appearance. Yennefer should look almost exactly the same in the final season as she does in the first.

They should get someone around 30 who looks pretty youthful, like Janet Montgomery or something.

I RAISE YOU

My name is Earl/10

>not realizing that a witcher's lifespan is insanely long, therefore Geralt physically ages really slowly and perhaps not at all
If not for the white hair he'd look like in his thirties.

Also, let's not forget that it's a physically demanding role and will require quite a commitment from the actor, they're not gonna pick an older actor.

Geralt looks more like he's in his mid-late 30s, not 40s.

Not to mention getting an older actor comes with various problems when they get around to the sword fighting, physical stunts etc. As fit as Mads might be, he's not going to be as spry and active as a 30-35 year old actor, which is important considering Geralt's supposed to have superhuman physical capability so they need a pretty capable actor who can at least get close to that.

>mads is in his 50's
wew lad i didn't even know

This is what Dandelion should look like and none of you will convince me otherwise

So we can all agree that Witcher 3 Shani iteration is best girl, including her voice right?

She dies alone.

Yes.

...

;_; i would have kept her company

Yeah, there's no way they'll choose anyone older than late thirties. Geralt doesn't look that old anyway apart from his hair.

>basing his appearance on the games

my favourite love story after the Children of Húrin

that's almsot exactly how you'd describe them form the books, so perfect casting.

it will be complete and utter shit and you know it. stop getting your hopes up.

why wouldn't it be? He's literally covered in spines and shit from a curse.

good, so he should be some ugly fuck, let's see shitflix dare to make an unattractive man the lead in the show

The plot may be based on the books, but if you actually think Geralt is gonna be unattractive you're delusional.

Geralt is never described as ugly in the books. I always pictured him somewhat like Mads.

But should he have a cute snout?

geralt isn't unattractive in the books either, he fucks bitches left and right, he's just heavily scarred.

GOAT casting right here
