heard from a friend who played the game and he said the show was well made. the voice, the actor and everything. he said the only issue was that Geralt was carrying 1 sword behind his back instead of 2 like in the game


There were soooooo many more issues than that lol, but it's still a pretty enjoyable show.

Pretty sure he doesn't actually carry 2 swords in the books, feels like a thing done in the game for gameplay reasons.

It is a gameplay mechanic. 99% of the time in the books he carried his meteorite sword on his back and kept his silver sword wrapped up on roach and only took it out for the rare monster weak to silver. In Season of Storms, it mentions him having both swords at the same time for plot reasons, but it's never mentioned again.

100%.

The reason he carries 2 swords in the game is you're constantly fighting monsters that require silver instead of meteorite/steel. The game is flooded with Monsters unlike the books (which they're very rare) and who would want to go back and forth to your horse to grab your silver or steel sword. TW3 wouldn't be a very fun monster hunting game if you fought a tiny amount of them.

Show will be more of the same as it's going to be sourced from the books instead of the games.

The acting is pretty cringe at times but other than that it seems alright so far

I enjoyed the show some. It was definitely not that great. The time jumping back and forth and no clear line from one episode to the next made the show as a whole much less enjoyable. It was very confusing and difficult for me to follow.

My conclusion: C at best for this show, or 6/10 stars.
