Game crashes too many times, and combat is basically point and click, and froze on me constantly.

Good game.

I just finished the first season but I don't know why I kept watching. I guess because it was only 8 episodes

I enjoyed it. Although I do love the Witcher 3. I'm aware the TV series is based on the books and being as I'll probably never read the books this TV show also educates me on those.

It was okay. A bit confusing up until about epiaode 5 or 6 though considering they jump backwards in time and tell no one.

Still entertaining but season 2 has the potential to be even better now that the backstory is out of the way.

I only watched the first couple episodes so far but I like it.

The acting and story are great. The special effects are mostly good. It could use more action but I don't know how the rest of the series will go in that regard yet.

I already feel like I'm gonna need to rewatch some or all of it because of all the references to people and places I don't get

Some of the casting choices were odd, and they chose a strange way to present the story compared to how it is actually done. Also a very odd change of character for someone that I'm worried about because he sticks around. I don't think it was good, and I'm worried about future casting decisions/character changes or how even how the current characters develop as they continue.

Citation: read all the books, only played the 3rd game

Spoilers: they really fucked up trying to give cahir a character so early, and vilgefortz is waaaay too scrawny and unintimidating. There are more, but those are big ones. Who they choose for the nilfgaard crew will be interesting to see. I can't wait to see them fuck up with Bonhart and pick someone completely wrong. Oh, and I really hope they offscreen the girl on girl rape/molestation instead of actually putting something so cringe on screen.

I think it was so true to the book (following the wonky time jumps and not giving much backstory, but for a reason) that it lost people. There actually isn't as much Witchering in the Witcher books as there is in the games.

I loved it though. I would gay sex Henry and straight sex Yennifer and they bi sex both of them.

Yes, but the stories are often written in a way where he is thinking on the morality of taking the case, and if he needs to kill the monster or help it escape the humans. The humans in the stories tend to not recognize that the monsters might be smart and have religions/morals of their own.

theyre saying the second season will be a lot more linear since they got the setup out of the way, so hopefully that will address what people didnt like about it

i still really liked it though, i liked pretty much all the casting decisions

I though the show was perfectly generic. Nothing about any of the characters or places or even the politics felt unique. It was another sword and magic fantasy setting like Eragon, Dragonheart, or the new Conan movie.
It also had a blandness with the action and the sex scenes. It comes of as more PG13 then R.

Henry is probably the worst thing about the show. Not his performance, he's just too pretty to play Geralt imo. lol

I'm glad that more fantasy stuff seems to be getting made now. It's probably the best thing GoT did. Hopefully we get a nice fantasy boom out of it and some quality fantasy to watch. I'm concerned with how the WoT show is going to turn out though.

I just finished s1 last night and tbh, having never played the games or read the books, I feel like it would have benefit from a bit more exposition, a bit less time jumping, and considerably less Yennifer since the series thus far seems like it's more about her than it is about Geralt, and unless I missed something big, the series is The Witcher, not The Witch.

Also, I can't help but notice what seems like either a running continuity issue, or an unfired Checkov's gun. Anytime we see Geralt pick up his sword bag, there's 2 swords yet whenever he's suited up for a fight he's only got the one longsword...but they clearly focus on 2 sword hilts sticking out of the bag more than once. What am I missing there?

One's a steel sword for people and one's a silver sword for monsters.

no silver would make for a pretty crappy sword actually

you couldnt get the same kind of sharpness and it would be fairly brittle in actual combat compared to something like iron or steel
