Finished reading the thread. All i wanna say is that Witcher 3 is the greatest game i ever played. Now im going to do a Gwent run and play the loving thing all over again. Im also reading the books and in Lady of The Lake Geralt is reunited with Yen and Ciri and i dont want to read anymore.

Thanks Andrzej Sapkowski amd CDPR for a wonderful piece of entertainment.

pd: TeamYen or Essi Daven.

pd1:That guy in Vizima is kicking my rear end at Gwent.

Yen was abused as a child and tried to kill herself. She also was tortured nearly to death by Vilgefortz because of her love for Ciri and Geralt. She is a tough woman who dont take poo poo from anyone, rejected the lodge of sorceress and all she wants to do is retire with Geralt while he makes bagpipes or something like that. She also has shown affection to Dandelion and Zoltan and even forgave Triss for date raping Geralt. I wish CDPR touched more on the backstory of Yen and her relationship with Ciri, thats my only grip on my favorite game ever. So yes, maybe she is a little bitchy sometimes but also she is a fierce woman.

One of my favorite scenes with Yen is when After necromancing Skjall, and killing the tree, the priestesses freak out. Regardless of the choice that you make as Geralt, she immediately steps forward and says "He had nothing to do with this, he tried to stop me, he failed." Whatever she does, even if he's complicit, she doesn't want Geralt catching any flak over it.

Also in the books When Vilgefortz was searching for Ciri mind reading Yen she directs him to Geralt, that was her main memory at the time

Which book does this come from?

So I guess the only conclusion is that Shani is the only not-horrible romance option in some way?

The World of The Witcher chapter III: "The Magic and Religions of the Continent" By Yennefer of Vengerberg and Dandelion.

i think it's also mentioned in one of the shorts in sword of destiny but i can't remember, it's definitely a earlier book, no later than blood of elves i think.

In The Last Wish Geralt sees trough Yen inmediatly and he realizes she was a hunchback.

Everyone cool in the game and in the books told Philippa to gently caress off: Yen, Ciri and in the game Geralt saved her and in Witcher 3 kicked her rear end. Shes manipulative and her so callled lodge of sorceress is in the process of being killed by Mad King Radovid, hiding or in the North. The game should have let us to also tell her to gently caress off. She is a bad person and her sreentime should have been used in good things like Yen and Ciri relationship. /rant

It's not like Geralt even has much of a personality. He could easily be an archetypal blank slate character

No jaw Geralt from Witcher 1 has more personality and charisma that everything bethesda and bioware have ever done.

In other news, I started reading the books and hooooly poo poo is the Witcher world sexist. Makes Ice Queen Yennifer a lot more understandable. She's willing to play the badguy because people seriously treat her like poo poo. No wonder Triss gets pushed around, Triss is way too eager for approval.

Also it's clear in the books that Yen is deeply hurt when Geralt disappears on her to go wandering, and that's the source of her anger at him. She's a bit of a loner herself, Geralt is the only person she's ever opened up to and trusted, and then one day he just disappeared with like a note on the table and didn't see her for three years.

In Witcher 3 he's disappeared again and turned up loving her best friend. So yeah she's got an attitude.

The best is when Yen starts a letter to Geralt with "Dear Friend". The game also has this.

There are a few episodes in the books I wish the games would do. Geralt gets hired to hash out an argument between a duke and his mermaid girlfriend about who has to transform so they can live together.

The books are a pretty light read. They're surprisingly funny and the short stories blow by pretty fast. A lot of them are obvious twists on famous fairy tales that only become obvious after you've gotten through it. I think the very first story is Beauty and the Beast and well, if you've played the games you can probably guess a few of the plot points. There's a beast, a beauty, and Geralt is the woodsman/Gaston character. Peasants are disappearing near the castle. Beast is a decent guy. Belle is a bruxa.

Vereena :(. That history is also a punch to the gut.

Yes. And after the turd called Viper and numerous times Sapkowski dissed the games it was especially funny seeing him publish Season of Storms. Guy's a douche.

Weird thing is that nearly all Polish fantasy writers in recent years (decades even) are rightwing assholes: Piekara, Kres, Ziemkiewicz. So if you think Sapkowski's prose is kinda sexist and stupidly nihilistic then you shouldn't even touch any of the these authors. Also, out of all Polish fantasy authors Sapkowski is most often regarded (and regards himself I think) as high literature. He came close at times but his literary workshop's not that great if you look closely.

Sorry for :spergin: I teach Polish literature and the topic of Sapkowski came back recently because of the games.

Pretty informative post, thank you. So, no more Witcher books then?
