codswallop posted:Wait, Druid? Mousesack wasn't the Court Mage? Druids are not D&D/WoW druids. They are still "Mages" in the d&d sense, but instead of being part of the cloak&dagger order Yennefer and the other are members of, they are part of a different one, and they have different philosophical beliefs (Mousesack is from Skellige, and Druids are more common over there. Cintra has refused the "assistance" of Yennefer's order for many years, but Ciri's grandfather is from Skellige, so it makes sense he would welcome a druid to court. Also Mousesack decides to stay at court to teach Pavetta how to use her powers after they become evident).

It should be fine. I think production wise this first season was better than season 1 of GoT. I’m excited to see where it goes.

Right, but that still means that, to you, he was a poor Geralt, which is where I disagree. But that's ok, it's subjective. Cavill does what the character needs, based on the books at least. He's not a super expressive or emotive character. He broods and complains a lot.

steinrokkan posted:Yeah, there aren't really rules, but Geralt likes to pretend there is a Witcher's code so he can make up excuses to turn down jobs. From what I remember the 3rd game even calls out Geralt on the “the witcher code” being BS. It’s is really used as excuse to for geralt to justify whatever he does. It may only be a journal or encyclopedia entry. But this is pointed out.

I always thought witchers having dulled or dead emotions was a thing, primarily because it would seem super important to not feel fear when your job is to go into a dark crypt and fight something terrifying, to the death.

Nah, it's just a rumour the witchers themselves perpetuate. Though Geralt sometimes struggles with admitting he has feelings. You have to remember these men are all broken manchildren. They're not great at emotions in general, so why not pretend they don't have any?

Yea the "no emotions" thing is a combination of perpetuated lies from emotionally immature men. They don't necessarily feel fear because for the very specific thing they do, they are very well trained. Not to mention that as a chemical reaction, between their mutations and imbibed chemicals, fear itself is just another chemical reaction that can be moderated.

Geralt's code isn't just an excuse. Not killing sentient "monsters" that are just stealing food or scaring people because they look mean is a good thing. And Lambert's a prick. He wanted to kill the rock trolls. That's unforgivable.

Imo the cgi and set pieces were fine, what they really need is a proper DOP cuz the lighting in some of the shots was real bad and made the otherwise good set design and costuming look like a cheap syfy show (the obvious exception being the Nilfgaardian armour of course).

It's an excuse in the sense that it's much easier to refer to some made up guild bylaw prohibiting the killing of intelligent monsters than to argue with an angry village elder that you aren't going to kill the local godling because it would be wrong.

Geralt will kill sentient monsters if they attack first or if they are causing other kinds of damage to people. Trolls are a thing of the past in my Drunken Bomb Flinging rear end in a top hat playthrough.

I like how Geralt loosened up both vocally and expressively when he's taking to Roach, and I feel like that should have been the baseline for his normal interactions. The books can have Geralt acting all stern and serious because his inner monologue shows that he's anything but. But in the show it just comes off wooden

Someone said it up thread, but Geralt interacting with Ciri will, I think, have Geralt being a lot more emotive. And just like the books, if anything comes between him and Ciri, I feel sorry for them. Poor Michelet Bros...

I haven't read the books or played the video games and this entire thing felt like the show is very much intended for people who have. I think the only reason I made it through was because I accidentally read somewhere that there was timeline fuckery which made the story a little easier to pick out. Maybe I'm just bad a watching TV, but it felt like the timeline stuff on top of mumbly dialog with a dazzling array of eastern-european fantasy names pronounced in different accents made it very hard to keep up. On the other hand, titties, monsters, and awesome swordfights can make up a lot of ground. edit: I wonder if RT has a way to tally reviews from people who know the story and characters already separately from people who are watching it cold. withak fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Dec 31, 2019 |

Guy is just really lonely, closed-up, and horny for emotional affection.

Okay can someone clear up for me when stuff is taking place. I'm at episode 4 and it seems that the Witcher dude is at a party protecting the bard, and that this take place before the events in episode 1. But along with this we have cirila in a magic forest, and yennifer 20 years later in a cart. What the ef is going on?

It's pretty easy. All the Ciri stuff is happening in the present over the course of a few weeks. All the Geralt and Yennifer stuff is happening way earlier spread out over several decades, but they're in chronological order with themselves.

The three main characters have scenes that are in order when only considering their scenes, but are three converging timelines that have different starting points.

Is the queen of Centra related to Foltest or was the Foltest curse story just a separate thing? Is Milfgard also seperate from the Foltest story line? I'm at the dinner scene where Sonic the hedgehog came and everyone is fighting and I have no idea why. Edit: okay so Cirilia was married to the hedgehog guy at some point?

I'm at the dinner scene where Sonic the hedgehog came and everyone is fighting and I have no idea why. Foltest is King of Temaria. Calanthe is Queen of Cintra. Seperate kingdoms. Geralt goes to Temaria looking for Witcher work. Both are kingdoms in the North. Nilfgaard is a kingdom in the South that invades the North, starting with Cintra in episode 1. Calanthe is Ciri's Grandmother. Pavetta is her mother. She is the one at the banquet who goes nuts. Ciri also has this power. Sonic the hedgehog (Duny) is her father. Ciri states that both of her parents are deas which is why she is being raised by Calanthe. Bananasaurus Rex fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Dec 31, 2019 |

Regarding timeline confusion it's worth noting that Witchers and Mages can live for a VERY long time. So that explains why Geralt and Yennifer seem to never age over decades. Though the show doesn't do a very good job of showing Calanthe aging either. Though that was only 13 years passing I suppose. Or Jaskier for that matter, aside from Yennifers crow feet comment. But he was always described as looking youthful depsite his age in the books.

Not to be a super pervazoid but god drat Yennifers boobs are perfect. Move over Bad Pussy, you no long have the best boobs in Fantasy TV. Horny posting over, Bananasaurus Rex posted:Regarding timeline confusion it's worth noting that Witchers and Mages can live for a VERY long time. So that explains why Geralt and Yennifer seem to never age over decades. Though the show doesn't do a very good job of showing Calanthe aging either. Though that was only 13 years passing I suppose. Or Jaskier for that matter, aside from Yennifers crow feet comment. But he was always described as looking youthful depsite his age in the books. Yea i wish they made that a lot clearer because I know people who know nothing about the show will be confused by it. It may of helped if Jaskier had aged visibly in some way, like maybe made him up to be super young when he first meets Geralt, like he's meant to be in his teens, and when he meets him later he's whatever the actors actual age would have been. Though both Geralt and Yenn have had magic done to them, that could explain their long lives. Also anyone wondering, this is what Nilfgaard armor looked like in the game  So very clearly inspired by German Gothic Plate, the sallent helmet is a dead giveaway. Which makes sense because to a Polish person, Austria/German states would be the invaders. Though no one seems to fit in the role of Russia as far as I can tell, and they liked to invade Poland a lot too. This is something I really like about Witcher 3 is they used real world armors because they worked, they would protect and give freedom of movement. Most fantasy stuff just goes for stuff that looks cool and forgets if the armor would actually be useful. Most of the show armors look pretty good, like Cintra and Temeria looked like real world stuff, but still, wtf is with Nilfgaard?
