The Witcher Witcher 1 remake from The Thaumaturge devs

[ERYFKRAD]

We know she lives until old age and becomes a professor of medicine at Oxenfurt.

I only read up to Baptism of Fire and the two compilations of short stories. Regardless, I'd have retconned it anyway. It's a nice bit of trivia but not terribly significant, and preventing the robbery of player agency is more important imo.

Wait didn't she die to the red plague thing or was that someone else.

In TW1 siding with The Order ruins your friendship with Dandelion and Zoltan,

Only Zoltan actually. Dandelion still meets you in the courtyard after killing the final boss.

In W1 I usually pick the elven side because chad Zoltan is so much better than virgin Siegfried.

I think you're thinking of that cute blonde bard Geralt met.

The one in the w3? Nope. Not she.

 

[KörangarTheMighty]

The one in the w3? Nope. Not she.

No, there was one in the novels named Essi Daven who sort of fell in love with Geralt. She died of smallpox and was buried in Brokilon with her lute and a pearl that Geralt gave her as a gift. Yet another example of Geralt being a complete moron and not grabbing life by the horns.

Nah, it was not Shani. However the plague took two of her dear friends, with whom she formed a team of field medics during the battle of Brenna.

The plague itself is quite interesting because it was involuntarily caused by Ciri jumping between worlds, when she was searching for a way home.

Catriona plague​

Catriona, named after the Nilfgaardian ship that brought it to the Northern Kingdoms, is a disease which is extremely similar to the Bubonic plague and is, in fact, the Bubonic plague. It also became known as the Red Death.

History​

​

During her escape from the world of Aen Elle, Ciri traveled through the time-space continuum and one of her stops was probably medieval Europe in our world during the plague epidemic in the 14th century. She entered a port town which could be Genoa or some other Mediterranean port. She was immediately repelled by the place because there were the corpses of people and animals lying in the streets.
There were also many burned buildings marked by white crosses and many fleas. She escaped to another point in the time-space continuum, but before she was able to do so, a few fleas stuck to her jacket. Her next stop was another unnamed port town. She was able to discern that the port lays in Nilfgaard. She decided to quickly leave this place as well, but just before the next time-space jump, one of the surviving fleas jumped from her jacket and made itself comfortable on an old sewer-rat. This rat boarded an old dirty hulk which set sail that very evening for Cintra. The name of the hulk was Catriona. Later in the Saga, there is small note about a dying tomcat who had caught a rat which left that hulk.
A year after the Battle of Brenna, the Red Death reached the city of Maribor, in the largest outbreak of the disease up to that point. Most of the physicians and priests fled the city during the epidemic, likely exacerbating the situation. Among those who stayed were Milo "Rusty" Vanderbeck and Iola the Second, who treated the diseased, undeterred by the lack of a cure. They both became infected. Rusty died in Iola's arms, and Iola died alone four days later.

There we go that's the one.

If they don’t censor it bowing to our woke overlords, I’ll buy the game third time.

Imagine not being a neutral chad.
We even get the best party song.

Casting aggressively mediocre-looking actresses to portray women capable of magically altering their appearance in almost any way is just a stroke of genius.

I'll only be tempted to make one comment on the show in this thread: Flaming Feminist Lauren Shmidth Hissrich spent over 3 years to turn the Witcher Netflix series into a show about the coming of age stories of Ciri (teh speshul gurl) and Yennefer (the ugly duckling turned kween), and by-the-way also about their highschool dream boyfriend.

Yet Cavill, the only real actor in this project, naturally became the centerpiece and the reason people - both men and women - sat to watch, often suffering through the Ciri and Yennefer segments of the episodes. The disparity in what the main cast brought to their characters was so big that it was like Cavill was acting in a different show altogether which was then added onto Hissrich's crap.

And now after all the futile efforts of mediocre writers and producers, it's Cavill's leaving which signals the show's death. In surprise reveal for Hissrich and her team of creative non-entities - no one ever cared about a show (yet another one) dealing with girls' anxieties under a fantasy coat of paint. People just wanted action, and the action hero is leaving the building. Thank God, the sun is setting on the "woke age" in pop culture.

 

[Jasede]

W1 had:
-best music in the series
-best alchemy system
-interesting quest design, especially the chapter spanning investigation in Act 2
-amazing atmosphere
-best story in the series

And you can bet they'll fuck all these things up in the remake. Some characters will turn black or LGBT, quest markers will be everywhere, the act 2 investigation will be overly simplified. At the same time, they'll probably ignore the bad parts of the original, like poor itemization and annoying enemy design.

And this masterpiece will probably be "remade" as well:

Oh, I was wondering where this song was from. A place I used to frequent used this music in the background and I really liked it but couldn't identify which RPG it was from, which was unusual because I played so many.

 

[NecroLord]

Henry Cavill leaving this trash series is a good thing. I heard Liam Hemsworth will replace him.
Just let this shit series die already.
I am fucking sick of Netflix nigger adaptations. We already have Witcher books and games.

People watching the show for Cavill have low standards.

I suffered through a half of season 1 laughing constantly seeing how bad it is.

Instead of indifferent and emotionless he constantly looked and sounded annoyed. His witcher voice sounded more like a Batman. They could hire Doug Cockle to dub him over instead. And to have a physique like a witcher, he’d have to get off roids first. It’s difficult for me to believe that someone built like a fuckin tank can be agile and nimble swordsman.

Before we had gems like Rings of Power and Wheel of Time, The Witcher was the show I watched for laughs. Cavill's Geralt was what made it possible to suffer through, although by the end of season 2 the sillyness of the plot was getting too much even for the expectations I was approaching it with.

Well yeah, but Hissrich needs a chiseled Adonis to make her pussy wet, the canonical lanky, ugly, freaky-looking Geralt won't do it.

Remember kids, an ironic view is still a view and it contrubutes towards more of similar garbage being made.

If you absolutely have to punish your neurons, then at least do it on the Seven Seas, yarrrrr.

Lol, you think I would subscribe for prime and netflix? :D

Also, I'm likely significantly older than you

probably handpicked by the fat cuck himself tho

he dies in the first game if you side with scoiataels.

people did this?

I like she-elves so I will always side with elves. The NPC who says "I fucked a she-elf once" in Witcher, I understand his sentiment.

Nah, this screams of a casting director who is a 6/10 woman feeling insecure and jealous around other actually hot women. Fat fuck had his titular character slay some supreme pussy despite being an uggo, and the plain Jane Jewesses running the show are doing some very obvious role reversal.
