Yo, the Witcher tv show really fukking ruined aspects of the game for me, man (rant)

[Dorian Breh]

- These mages are fukking useless. They’re supposed to be some godlike badasses in the game but they couldn’t do CHIT against the Nilfgaardian troops. fukking VILGEFORTZ, who apparently was the mage who vaporized Regis (the higher vampire from B&W) got his ass whooped in a sword fight. Yennefer really didn’t do shyt either, except enchant some civilians and flee from that hitman with the giant spider.

- These sorceress hoes are ugly. The game really emphasized how they all used magic to dial up their looks to unnaturally beautiful and they looked fukking gorgeous, even as animations. These hoes are mid. Especially Triss, who looked like a Trader Joe’s cashier.

- The show spent too much time on the non-Geralt aspects of the lore. Nobody gives a shyt about those kingdoms, especially since they never established the spatial reality of the world, like GoT does in the opening credits.

- The animated characters in the game were somehow lightyears ahead in terms of charisma, screen presence, and emotiveness than these actors. I know y’all saw it too.

It isn't based on the games.

There's that.

Season 1 is before the sorceresses start using forbidden magic. In the games nobody has a problem with fire magic, necromancy, etc. You saw what Yennifer did in the final episode? expect stuff like that to be more common in future seasons. vigelfortzs will obviously become much more powerful.

The looks aspect is a slippery slope, you can hire a bunch of models, but the acting might suffer. or you can settle for some 7's and 8's who can really act. It's not like you can design their appearance as in the game.
