There are also a ton of graphics options, but the base game is very pretty on its own, so again I'd advise playing a bit before changing a lot of stuff so you can dial it in right.

The tv thread will probably be a lot more stingy with spoilers since not everyone who watches the show will have played the games. And the games, while accessible to newcomers, also treat the events of the books as known facts. So people getting shocked that Ciri is Emhyr's daughter will be a thing in TVIV even I it's common knowledge to this thread. So basically this is the spoiler thread.

If I don't get full frontal Henry Cavil I'm asking for a refund. First CDPR caved and removed Geralts dick before release but this would be too much to bear.

Gonna copy what I said in the TV IV threadquote:First episode appears to be mostly/entirely based on The Lesser Evil. Which is good because if you were going to pick it an entry point into The Witcher, it's the best one. quote:Cavill does seem super stiff. When he's giving his little "Evil is evil" speech to Stregobor, he turns like he can't bend his waist.

I enjoyed the first episode, it got better in the second half I thought. Highlight was Geralt talking to Roach. Renfri was great and I assume the Nilfgaardian soldier was Cahir. Still not sure about the raisin armour though. Fight scenes looked really good and I thought Cavill got Geralt just right in tone and manner. Loved the music, it really reminded me of the games music. We will definitely watch more.

Early reviews seem to fall into 2 categories. People who are familiar with the source material, even passingly, seem to enjoy it and people who had no idea what it was are calling it a miss. That's not too surprising, as it would have been difficult to impossible for Netflix to make both camps happy, so the real question will be if there are enough preexisting fans to justify a second season.

There's a couple people unfamiliar with the series in the TVIV thread who are really digging it. I imagine most people who like fantasy will probably get into this. Whether it grabs a wide audience like GoT did will remain to be seen tho e: starting up episode 4 now. the timeline feels weird b/c poo poo isn't happening concurrently, but i'm really enjoying this a lot. there's one big change to yen's backstory that really bums me out but otherwise poo poo is drat faithful so far imo

Larger battles look like another dumb clueless Hollywood designs, where enemies magically form into pairs to slug it out. Kind of like GoT, but GRRM doesn’t pretend like he has any idea how medieval battle looks like, and Sapkowski seemed to have some. The whole big battle sequence wasn’t really necessary anyway. Other than that I’m hooked after first episode, will binge through the weekend.

Going by the tv thread impressions, don’t like the sound of them doing things non-lineary.

Avalerion posted:Going by the tv thread impressions, don’t like the sound of them doing things non-lineary. They are and they aren't. Geralt's story is linear. So are Yen and Ciri's. But Ciri's is set in the present, Geralt's is set mostly before that, and Yen's starts out even further back before advancing to more where Geralt is. There's quite a few lines in each episode referencing stuff to make it clear diff POVs are at diff points in time. It's a bit weird at first, but I honestly really like it. It's probably the best way to tell the stories of all 3 leads without having to skip past all the short stories. I imagine by end of season they'll all be caught up to eachother. Granted I haven't finished, so they could mess with the order of events in some weird way, but idk I doubt it judging by the hints they put out with the episode titles.

I can imagine playing without it, but I can't imagine playing without it and going through the  to switch up oils.The mod that removes the minimap and changes it so that it only comes up when you turn on witcher senses is very nice, but not must-have. I played most of the game without it, but when I installed it, I wished I had had it from the start.

I loved the first episode but wish they kept The Lesser Evil closer to the book. The whole thing about that was the entire crowd watched him butcher Renfri’s 7 men without knowing they were in danger. Here all 7 brandish their weapons and the town seeing him drop them in 3 seconds is lost, and that was the reason he earned his nickname.

Geralt's armour does look pretty stiff but at least it's trying to look like a brigandine with riveted metal plates unlike whatever the hell they wear on Last Kingdom or Vikings. And the Cintrian armour looks pretty good and definitely has some Spanish vibes with the morion styled helmets. Plus theyre wearing gambesons underneath the plate which o appreciate. I don't usually harp on shows or movies for having silly looking armour and weapons but the Witcher games have had some of the best looking realistic armours ever (apart from esoteric Witcher gear like the tacticool chainmail turtleneck) so I'm happy the show is putting some effort into keeping outfits grounded. Ballsack armour notwithstanding.

So far they've done a great job of The Witcher and A Question of Price, but The Lesser Evil felt really rushed. If I hadn't already read the short story I'd have been completely lost about who these people are and why they want each other dead. The backstory felt tacked on in favour of spending half the episode on Ciri. I don't think it was a good choice for a pilot either - The Witcher gives the audience a lot more information about who Geralt is and the basics of his job and how poo poo works. I don't really know why they bothered adapting The Edge of the World. It was trimmed down to a few scenes and it was ridiculously dull and inconsequential - same as it was in the book.

The thing about The Lesser Evil is that there's really not a lot to the story, so I appreciate that they kept it in but didn't try to drag out the plot to a full hour when that story has maybe thirty minutes to it, tops. I do think the first episode could have been tightened up rather than throwing us right into Ciri's story, but I'll take what I can get. Few TV shows have perfect pilot episodes, but I really liked what I saw with Geralt. Also https://www.gamesradar.com/amp/the-witcher-4-looks-even-more-likely-as-cd-projekt-signs-a-new-agreement-with-original-creator/ CDPR and Sapkowski signed a new agreement allowing CDPR to continue using the brand.

The Edge of the World seems like it was used primarily for exposition regarding the elves and magic in general. It served it's purpose in that regard. I liked the humor of the short story where Geralt is getting the poo poo kicked out of him crawling through these crops trying to grab Torque. But so far, each episode is better than the last, with Episode 3 and 4 really showing what this show can do. The casting for Calanthe was loving spot on and I like how they don't reveal that they're jumping around in time.

So the the quest 'the deus in the machina', theres an opinional objective to destroy archespore seedlings with igni. On the switch version, there were 8, 4 in each alcove. But examining them and burning them doesn't clear the objective. Then I watch a YouTube video of that same quest on pc, and each alcove has 7 boxes to burn each, and the objective completes as normal. I think some seedling boxes were removed in the switch version to lower the stress on the system, but they forgot to reduce the number you needed to burn to clear the optional objective.

I wonder if they'll keep it character driven or if they'll take some ideas from writing cyberpunk and let you roll your own witcher from some forgotten school It would probably work super well because everyone would just call you "the witcher" then

Seen first episode, not impressed. Very generic, very uninspired, like they went with the most obvious and safest choice for every possible creative decision. Also Cavill sucks a lot and is outclassed by the animated video game character in everything including expressiveness and emotional nuance.
