the games arent technicallty cannon but they are lore friendly and happen after the books
It's not a spin-off. It's the story of the books. The Witcher 3 is technically a spin-off by your logic
Oh ok
Ok but wouldn't it be better to not know how the story ends
in this case i would consider a spin-off/revamp/retelling to be one in which they change races,languages,settings,lore etc
Sure
But I mean if they're sticking to the books what's the problem
thats the thing they are not sticking to the books by making ciri black
Have you read the books and don't like the ending or something in the books story?
But you said earlier ,"after they said they are gonna follow the books strictly, so strict that they are gonna have geralt not have a beard, because he supposedly hates beards"
and if they were to do so they would need to justify it with something other than virtue signaling
Ok I understand your issue now
And I agree
That's pretty dumb if it's just to please people's "racism" alerts
geralt having a beard in the games can be justified, in the games Yen or Triss (cant remember who) asked him why he grew a beard seeing as he never liked them and then he comments "i have kinda gotten used to it"
small change easily justified and explained
This doesn't make sense
They want to stick to the books, but completely change a character
...
Wot
haha no man , i think i confused you, the game largely sticks to the lore of the books and add to it in a way where it would be fittin and lore friendly.
Netflix/The producers of the SERIES said they are gonna follow the books strictly
so i was using their statement against them, being so strict to the lore that geralt will be clean shaven, but then 5min after that saying they are gonna make a MAJOR character black/not part of the lore
cuz ciri is explained in the books to be pale and white
No I understand that completely
I get you
sorry if i confused you hahaha
I wasn't don't worry XD
hopefully you now get what i was saying
Completely
That's why I said it's stupid
Cause I understand why you're annoyed now
yeah, i love the witcher, would defend anything that SJW;s try to fuck up. for example even tho im not a huge star wars fan i kinda feel the pain of having someone fuck up childhood/gaming/movie memories
Same, It was such a shake-up in the industry. After playing it I've never really had the same investment in any other game
That's why I was so excited for the TV series. But now...
Mxm. Another dream crushed I guess
Still not fond of them choosing Superman...why? Just because his voice? I can see a slight resemblance, but it's not enough..would honestly be better if the whole movie was computer generated so that Geralt..looks, sounds, and behaves as Geralt does in the games....I'm sick of people who don't play video games or those who don't know about lore...producing films..just because they can...they rarely do content\characters justice..I wish they would just stop... @Apollo Assassin's Creed for example..couldn't even finish that fucking film..
I'm comfortable with henry cavill he has some resemblance to geralt and special effects and makeup will help alot, looking from fan edits and photoshops im happy. henry cavill is also a fan of the game and the books, he has played some /medievel/fantasy roles. He is such a huge nerd he missed the casting call for justice league because he was playing world of warcraft @ZombieQueen
I'm just happy we got someone who is a fan, that to me is a huge win.
AC was boring, nearly fell asleep
