Netflix’s The Witcher first look at the lovely Roach

32 Comments

I know, I know, where the hell is the second sword right? Well maybe Geralt of Rivia sold it for a chicken sandwich and some apple juice. Joking aside Roach, our favorite and faithful girl, looks good. Actually she looks very similar to her digital sister, which is awesome, meaning the TV show draws both from the games and books.

Now while Roach looks fine (I see no glitches), Geralt on the other hand not so much. Don’t get me wrong, Henry Cavill looks great as Geralt and he is also a huge fan of both games and books. But the armor looks weird. I don’t mind it’s black, but I do mind it looks too clean, like it’s fresh forged. Maybe they still adding and editing stuff but as is, it looks weird. I know it’s a small thing but it still bugs me nonetheless.

Also for the love of Melitele, I hope the monsters look good. Same goes for Geralt’s  special abilities. Bad CGI can definitely hurt the show and I hope for the best. Please Netflix, don’t let us down.

The Witcher books are in my top list of all time and the games are definitely in my top ten, so yes I am very excited. Especially when I recently finished the last season of the Game of Thrones TV series (Jon indeed knew nothing).

There is still no official release date. At least we will probably get the whole season at the same day, as Netflix is known for. Anyhow stay tuned for the upcoming trailer, which I doubt it will take long.

PS: Before you guys start, I will remind you that Geralt in the books, rarely uses a silver sword and only carries the steel sword on his back. The silver is usually on Roach but evidently this time, it is not. Chicken sandwich?!

    1. Is about the books, and the game is after the books but is CDProjectRed story, there is not official connection or continuation, so don’t expect a prequel to the game’s story.

    2. The books very much could be considered a prequel to the games, mostly the 3rd game, which has Geralt with a fully functional memory. If you’ve played the DLC’s of the 3rd game, you should read the books for that alone. Find out just how much of a gentlemen badass Regis really is.

      Just to add, huge fan here who has been following the show close enough, and I’m very damned pleased by what I’ve been seeing.

          1. Nothing wrong with being a virgin. That is a natural state of things. Being a Cuck is unnatural AF. I chose Virgin over being cucked any day.

          2. being cucked means at least you had seks once and one time seks is better than zero. you need to think critically and strategically.
            i recommend rick and morty for critical thinking and playing total war games for improving your strategical thoughts.

          3. “i recommend rick and morty for critical thinking”

            “cucked is better than being a virgin”

            i hope your kidding or are a troll.

    3. Just a questions, how is this series going SJW? I mean i know Netflix is notorious for its Left propaganda, but how did they affect this show? I hope its nothing major.

      1. Triss has been cast to be played by a black actress. This is pretty much it, and its just as silly as that.

          1. It’s Fringila, not Triss. The fool couldn’t even get the news straight. They changed Fringila to a black woman.

  6. Look closer, for that silver sword. It’s along the side of Roach, you can see just the pommel sticking out in that photo.

    2. Yep, because thats how it was in the books. 2 swords hanging off his back was purely a video game invention.

  9. watch as this shet turns into a boring petty hipster teen drama that drags on and on with low iq plots and dialogues.

      1. that’d be too extreme. that way pakistani authorities will shut netflix down for good and then you’ll be the first one complaining about not being able to watch your favorite series.

  10. There’s a combat mod for using and equipping only 1 sword, the Steel Sword, for the majority of enemies, and the Silver for only a handful of specific, lore-based monsters (werewolf, wraiths, etc.), because that’s how it is in the books. It was modded so the monsters requiring the Silver sword were that much tougher, as they should be. (This was for Witcher 3 only)

    I think I installed it within the 1st month of release and played most of the game that way. It made using the Silver swords that much more important.

    Where’s the 2nd sword, wahh wahhh…. tools.
