The Witcher (2019) / int_108c268e	comment	Hotter and Sexier: Slightly, as the books contain plenty of sex and nudity themselves (including much that was omitted on the show), but here, there's more Fanservice Extras and it appears that underwear doesn't exist in this universe (much like in Game of Thrones), something that is a noted deviation from the source given there was repeated reference to female characters wearing/removing knickers during changing and sex scenes (and was reflected in the game series with various characters having underwear/lingerie-clad models).

The Witcher (2019) / int_146e133b	comment	Tamer and Chaster: Geralt and Yennefer don't appear quite as libertine as in the books. Granted, that hardly makes either chaste. The show in general also greatly reduces the amount of on-screen sexual violence that was present in the books, including omitting a scene where Yenn is sexually assaulted by Reavers (which also makes Yarpin a more sympathetic character given he was willing to go along with a plan to gang-rape her after killing the dragon), removing the infamous love potion-enabled Double Standard Rape: Female on Male between Triss and Geralt when the former came to Kaer Morhen, and so far leaving any inclusion of rape to being referenced in backstory. Season 2 has almost no nudity or sexual content to speak of, to the point where four sorceresses stripping to share a bath is filmed in cutaways that would fit in a PG-13 film.

On the other we have the Northern Kingdoms, who decide that the best response to Nilfgaard extending a helping hand to the elves is to start a genocide to exterminate every single elf in the North. This is also exemplified by their religions: the cult of the Great Sun in Nilfgaard and the Church of the Eternal Fire up north. Both inspire fanatacism in their followers, a fire that burns all those who oppose them.

The Witcher (2019) / int_17a606bd	comment	Geralt's steel sword is a weird hybrid weapon. Its blade is the length of an arming sword (one-handed European longsword), but it has a longer "hand & a half" grip of a bastard sword (a longer sword meant to allow the use of both hands for better leverage on the longer blade, though not as long as a greatsword). Weird or not, it's effective in the hands of a man who knows what he's doing.

The Witcher (2019) / int_1994ba0b	comment	Gone Horribly Right: Yennefer is originally assigned the small, underdeveloped kingdom of Nilfgaard to advise as a sorceress. To correct the situation, she has her appearance reworked, and seduces her way into the larger kingdom of Aedirn. This causes her to switch places with Fringilla, who was originally meant for that post. Fast forward in the timeline, and Nilfgaard has turned into a powerful, expansionist empire while Aedirn stagnated. Fringilla became known for many famous feats, and leads Nilfgaard's armies against the Northern Kingdoms, essentially becoming what Yennefer wanted for herself.

The Witcher (2019) / int_20f689e9	type	Adaptational Villainy
The Witcher (2019) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: In the short story, Stregobor urges Geralt to disappear from Blaviken with him because the villagers will not understand his actions. In the show, Stregobor actively incites the townsfolk against Geralt after Geralt refuses to allow him to dissect Renfri's corpse, and even after that point he's frequently shown as the most bigoted voice in wizards' council meetings. In the show, King Foltest obstructs Geralt's investigation, only reconciles with Geralt's plan near the end, and ultimately denies Geralt credit, whereas in the original short story he's basically a Reasonable Authority Figure from start to finish. In the show, Queen Calanthe personally ordered the genocidal purge of anyone with elven blood within her kingdom, while the books give no hint of her part in such an atrocity, especially since in the books she herself has elven blood and is aware of it. The show's cold, ruthless, and scheming Tissaia de Vries is the polar opposite of her book version, who's friendly, empathetic, and holds political games in contempt. Nilfgaard as a whole is more evil than in the books where they already were pretty bad. Most fundamentally, they are made into religious and racial zealots rather than hegemonic imperialists. Fringilla Vigo isn't the nicest person in the Witcher saga, but in the books she was a minor character whose role is limited to wounding Yennefer at Sodden Hill and trying to Honey Trap Geralt in Toussaint. In the show, she's portrayed as a major antagonist by taking on some of the words and deeds of the books' Big Bad Vilgefortz. In the novels, Cahir is merely a young knight who just follows Emperor Emhyr var Emreis' order to find Ciri from a combination of ambition, fear, and even odd chivalrynote In the novels Cahir was smitten with Ciri and therefore saw himself as saving her from the sack of Cintra. In the show, his actions are so different that there isn't even a hint of this. and never intentionally makes bad things happen. Essentially, he's always Not Evil, Just Misunderstood. In the show, he's not only guilty of plenty of personal crimes (like killing King Eist personally and Mousesack by proxy of the doppler) but as commander-in-chief of the whole Nilfgaardian army is also responsible for all Nilfgaardian atrocities. None of the dopplers in the novels are villainous or even vicious. The Doppler in this series is made into a Hannibal-style psycho-maniac, though Cahir points out that he is this in contrast to others of his kind. Strangely enough, Geralt himself. In the original story, Renfri made clear her intent to slaughter the people of Blaviken until either Geralt killed Stregobor or Stregobor surrendered himself to her revenge, and Geralt (knowing Stregobor would never surrender) instead chose to protect Blaviken by killing Renfri and her henchmen. With Renfri's Adaptational Heroism in the show, however, Geralt only sees an extremely vague vision about blood before deciding to kill Renfri without actually making clear his intention was to protect the villagers.

The Witcher (2019) / int_21d70919	type	Crapsack World
The Witcher (2019) / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: Commoners live in The Dung Ages while the higher classes are busy trying to screw, trick or murder each other. War and genocide seem to be happening all over the place while monarchs are too apathetic and selfish to do anything about it. Mages are sent to sink-or-swim academies where the few survivors among the class get to secretly rule the entire continent - badly. It's no wonder Nilfgaard's religion is so popular and able to draw in thousands of zealots to their ranks, since at least they give a damn about feeding their troops and sending them to fulfill a higher purpose, but merely as tools of Nilfgaard to be used and thrown away by commanders whose arrogance and ruthlessness exceeds that of the Northerners. Meanwhile, elves are being hunted down in racial purges while their resistance groups turn to brutal tactics in turn, non-aggressive monsters are subjected to Van Helsing Hate Crimes while Ax-Crazy monsters thrive on human entrails, and all of this is a prelude to the upcoming ice age apocalypse. But there are moments of light. Wherever she goes, Ciri encounters people who are at least willing to stop and have a few kind words with her, and just as frequently people who are willing to offer her a great deal of help.

The Witcher (2019) / int_23473ae7	type	Adaptation Expansion
The Witcher (2019) / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: Broadly speaking, the first season adapts the high points of The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny for Geralt, but constructs everything else from flashbacks and exposition. Yennifer is decidedly the Third Line, Some Waiting protagonist of the novels, trailing well behind Geralt and Ciri in terms of independent page-time, dialogue, and character development, with a backstory that's mostly only hinted at. The show fleshes out Yen's character, angst, and backstory until they arguably surpass even that of Geralt. In the show, Geralt attends the ball in Cintra as Jaskier's bodyguard. In the short story, Jaskier isn't involved; Geralt is invited by Calanthe because she intended him to kill Duny for her. The Battle of Sodden Hill was a significant event, but one that occurred off-screen. The show depicts both the battle and the machinations that led to the mages deciding to intervene against Nilfgaard's invasion. By intention, the showrunner sought to expand the roles of the women in the story and actually show events that were only hinted at in the original book (such as Yenn's backstory and role at the Battle of Sodden, and what Ciri did in-between escaping Cintra's sacking and being found by Geralt). Season 2, while taking some events from the first Witcher novel, Blood of Elves, created an entirely original story for the A-Plot to flesh out Ciri's training at Kaer Morhen, the first two years of which were largely skipped over in the books.

The Witcher (2019) / int_23a1e2a9	type	Adaptation Deviation
The Witcher (2019) / int_23a1e2a9	comment	Adaptation Deviation: The more explicit Fractured Fairy Tale aspects of Sapkowski's short stories are all but gone. For example, the show omitted the magic mirror, poisoned apple, and seven gnomes from Renfri's backstory to remove her similarity to Snow White. Yennefer's reason for leaving Geralt in "Rare Species" is her discovery that his wish bound them together and her belief that their feelings are simply the result of the wish. In the books, she knows about Geralt's wish from the start because she heard him make it and isn't troubled by it. A sidequest from the third game does involve undoing the wish to resolve this question, but since Yennefer's feelings don't change it's entirely up to the player to decide the effect. Yennefer's desire for a child. She implies she doesn't necessarily want a child but wants the choice (or rather to override a negative consequence of the choice she made decades ago). In the books, she actually just wants a child, and others are quite aware of this fact. More generally, infertility is described in the novels' Encyclopedia Exposita as merely a common hormonal side-effect of becoming a mage since "some wizards, usually women, attune to magic while still maintaining efficiency of the gonads." In the show, however, Yennefer undergoes a ritual hysterectomy with her removed organs burned as part of an Equivalent Exchange for beauty and immortality. Similarly, in the novels the witchers' sterility is a side effect of the mutagens used in their transformations, while in the show Geralt suggests he, too, was intentionally sterilized. Ciri's stay in Brokilon was notably changed and e.g. first meeting of Geralt and Ciri was cut out, which resulted in them meeting for the first time only in the first season's final episode, which made this situation quite bizarre, as those two never met before and barely know each other. The reason for the djinn attacking Jaskier. In the original short story "The Last Wish", the djinn attacked Jaskier on its own; Geralt drove it off with what he'd been told was a banishment incantation in Elder speech, but was really a command for the Literal Genie to go screw itself. The show takes the simpler route of Geralt "wishing" for "peace and quiet" while arguing with Jaskier, and the djinn interpreting it as a command. Emhyr var Emreis, the Emperor of Nilfgaard, is revealed to be Ciri's father Duny at the end of Season 2, while in the books, this didn't happen until the last volume. This is likely because players of the videogames, who make up a larger part of the audience, already knew this from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, making it a Late-Arrival Spoiler for show-only fans.

Geralt's armour and manner of speech are patterned after his game counterpart. Kaer Morhen's layout is taken from the first and third games. While Geralt's medallion is more of a traditional style medallion than the animal head shaped ones from the games, a wolf's head shaped medallion in the style of that from the games appears on the memorial tree. Similarly, a pair of swords very like the starting steel and silver swords from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are hanging up in Kaer Morhen's armoury.

The Witcher (2019) / int_2c1871ee	comment	When we first see Cintra fall, Calanthe and her husband seem like loving grandparents ruling an innocent, peaceful kingdom unjustly attacked out of the blue by a rabid, hostile expansionist. The context of the intervening episodes revealed her to be a bigoted warmonger herself, who boastfully (and futilely) tried to defy destiny, and is finally getting to reap what her arrogance has sown. First we see Calanthe from Ciriâ€™s perspective; later we see her from Geraltâ€™s.

Unfortunately, the Nilfgaardian army arrive earlier than expected. In the battle that follows, the defenders are largely wiped out, only for the rest of the Nilfgaardian army to be torched by Yennefer's unrestrained magic, turning his arrival into The Cavalry Arrives Late.

The Witcher (2019) / int_2f36d97	comment	Older Than They Look: Neither Geralt nor any of the wizards visibly age over the course of the first season, which spans many years. By the end of the first season, Yennefer says she's lived "several lifetimes" without her appearance changing. This is more pronounced with Jaskier who should be in his forties in the present day timeline, and doesn't have a magical explanation for looking like he's in his mid-twenties. The same is true for Emperor Emhyr, who due to the specifics of his storyline has to be at least as old as Jaskier, but is similarly played by a much younger actor from his first appearance 14 to 15 years before the present.

Season 1 concludes with the Battle of Sodden Hill, where twenty-two mages (including Yennefer, Triss, Tissaia, and Vilgefortz) battle alongside a group of Cintran refugee volunteers to hold an abandoned elven fortress against the Nilfgaardians. The fortress guards a critical river crossing; holding it will give armies from Temeria and Kaedwen time to arrive and reinforce the crossing, thereby stymieing Nilfgaard's passage. (This battle was referenced several times in the original novels and video games, but never detailed.)

The Witcher (2019) / int_3f11ef74	comment	Geralt and Yennefer also serve as foils to one another. Both were abandoned by their parents to a Parental Substitute who put them through Training from Hell to join the guild they run (but Geralt was abandoned at the roadside by an apparently loving mother, while Yennefer was sold by an abusive father). Both underwent transformations which left them sterile, but Geralt's was unwilling and mainly changed his eyes; Yennefer's was willing (something she had to worm her way into, no less) and (by her request) changed everything but her unique eyes; both draw attention to their eyes when speaking to figures in their past (Geralt when calling out his mother, Yen when being complimented on keeping them by a former lover). Geralt embraced his new self and is still loyal to his guild, Yennefer came to regret her decision and went rogue (although both mainly remain loyal to their mentors). Yennefer wants a child (at least partially to Screw Destiny which says she can't), while Geralt spends the entire first season trying to avoid the child he's bound to become a father/mentor figure to because he resents being so destined (with both calling one another out on either struggle being futile and harmful to the people around them).

With Renfri's Adaptational Heroism in the show, however, Geralt only sees an extremely vague vision about blood before deciding to kill Renfri without actually making clear his intention was to protect the villagers.

Queen Calanthe committed genocide against the elves as a young queen and Cintra is xenophobic and isolationist with non-humans living as second class citizens. However, she seems to genuinely love her husband and granddaughter in the present, and whatever her flaws she didn't deserve to watch her kingdom razed to the ground by Nilfgaard, who are seeking Ciri for her power. King Foltest is both a burned-out drunken coward who had sex with his sister, and a man who lost the only woman he loved to a jealous rival suitor and desperately wants to save his cursed daughter. He also leads his army to fight Nilfgaard because he had given his word to Triss in an attempt to become The Cavalry. The fact that he arrives too late is not his fault.

Renfri was the sole survivor we know of. Nilfgaard murders indiscriminately in their conquest. The Mage College permanently transforms their failed acolytes, all of whom are young women, into non-sapient living batteries for their magic. The Wizard Assassin chasing Queen Kalis and her daughter, who is ultimately successful in killing both his targets. Ostrit cursed Princess Adda I's baby, killing the princess in the process, because he was jealous of her lover The Doppleganger has to be paid extra by Nilfgaard to bring Ciri in without killing her. They say they enjoy the screams of children the most. The Dryads attack Dara when he tries to rescue Ciri from their spell. They also debate killing Ciri when they find out she's Calanthe's blood. In Season 2, the elves agree to a reluctant alliance with Nilfgaard, mostly to escape wholesale slaughter in the Northern Kingdoms, but also to have their leader, Francesca, safely deliver what turns out to be the first fully elven child in centuries. Unfortunately, the elves' joy at the newborn girl is short-lived as she gets murdered shortly after her birth. Francesca, furious and believing the Kingdom of Redania to be at fault, cruelly retaliates by magically killing all newborn babies in Redania. Fringilla and Cahir, who both fear to be in disfavor with their emperor, claim the deed for themselves, only to be told by Emhyr himself that he ordered the baby's death, correctly guessing that it would drive the elves to war with the Northern Kingdoms. The leaders of all the Northern Kingdoms except Redania decide that they were really better off when everyone believed Ciri was dead, and put out a bounty on her (and anyone who protects her).

The green dragon Myrgtabrakke survived in the original story: Villentretenmerth pulled a You Shall Not Pass! on the dragon hunters who meant to finish her off after villagers planted a poisoned sheep carcass as bait when she started raiding their flocks. In this series she was injured by dragon hunters who went after her unprovoked, and succumbs to her injuries before the hunting party including Geralt and Yennefer reaches her lair. Geralt's friend Eskel is killed off shortly after being introduced in season 2. He is a minor but continuing character in the books, and a fairly major character in the games.

In the show, she's portrayed as a major antagonist by taking on some of the words and deeds of the books' Big Bad Vilgefortz.

The Witcher (2019) / int_50b05d30	comment	In Season 2, the elves agree to a reluctant alliance with Nilfgaard, mostly to escape wholesale slaughter in the Northern Kingdoms, but also to have their leader, Francesca, safely deliver what turns out to be the first fully elven child in centuries. Unfortunately, the elves' joy at the newborn girl is short-lived as she gets murdered shortly after her birth. Francesca, furious and believing the Kingdom of Redania to be at fault, cruelly retaliates by magically killing all newborn babies in Redania. Fringilla and Cahir, who both fear to be in disfavor with their emperor, claim the deed for themselves, only to be told by Emhyr himself that he ordered the baby's death, correctly guessing that it would drive the elves to war with the Northern Kingdoms.

Fringilla finds this out the hard way when she levitates a stone without drawing from the bunch of flowers on the table and finds her hand rotting. She and her mage followers use their own life forces to fuel magic later as well. This restriction doesn't seem to apply to any other character, oddly, as we see a great many magical feats through the series with no implication that Yen or anyone else is drawing their magic from an exterior source. They could be drawing from the surrounding plant life, which would explain leaving the fortress to get closer to the forest to draw magic more easily.

Both Geralt and Calanthe attempting to circumvent or ignore the Law of Surprise, thus "fighting Destiny" is implied to bring about Nilfgaard's success in sacking Cintra. And once Destiny has punished you for your arrogance, it'll make sure that "people bound by Destiny always find each other."

The Witcher (2019) / int_734632b0	comment	In the short story "The Bounds of Reason", Eyck of Denesle is depicted as a Noble Bigot who detests witchers and sorceresses, but takes his knightly vows very seriously and even saves Geralt and Yennefer from falling to their deaths when they are caught in a landslide, despite his prejudices against them. He later gets to prove his bravery by agreeing to fight the golden dragon Villentretenmerth in single combat — a decision that gets him crippled, but also earns him the sincere respect of his opponent. His counterpart in the series, on the other hand, is a vain, selfish fool who kills a harmless, starving creature in a needlessly brutal and drawn-out manner and ultimately suffers an Undignified Death.

We get to hear what Calanthe and Mousesack tell each other which we didn't hear the first time around and we also find out that Geralt was in Cintra all this time and how he and Ciri missed each other by mere seconds. When we first see Cintra fall, Calanthe and her husband seem like loving grandparents ruling an innocent, peaceful kingdom unjustly attacked out of the blue by a rabid, hostile expansionist. The context of the intervening episodes revealed her to be a bigoted warmonger herself, who boastfully (and futilely) tried to defy destiny, and is finally getting to reap what her arrogance has sown. First we see Calanthe from Ciriâ€™s perspective; later we see her from Geraltâ€™s.

If Calanthe hadn't been so selfish, Ciri would've left with Geralt before the attack on Cintra and she would've been safe. On the same note, had she not jailed him, he might've helped fight off the invading Nilfgaardian army and give Mousesack more time to protect the castle.

In the show, however, Yennefer undergoes a ritual hysterectomy with her removed organs burned as part of an Equivalent Exchange for beauty and immortality. Similarly, in the novels the witchers' sterility is a side effect of the mutagens used in their transformations, while in the show Geralt suggests he, too, was intentionally sterilized.

The Witcher (2019) / int_8b6e8d7	comment	Anachronic Order: Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri's storylines don't happen in the same time period at the start of the series, in spite of being included in the same episodes. This isn't initially obvious because the narrative feels like it is doing a traditional Three Lines, Some Waiting and most of the characters involved don't visibly age, but you get a hint of this from the very first episode, when Queen Calanthe talks about winning her first battle when she was Ciri's age, then Renfri talks about that same battle as if it had just happened. It becomes clear in "Betrayer Moon" when Foltest appears as a young boy in Yennefer's storyline and as an old man in Geralt's, and is made even more explicit in "Of Banquets, Bastards and Burials" when Geralt meets characters like Calanthe (who died in Ciri's storyline in the first episode) and Mousesack and is present for the wedding of Ciri's parents. Yennefer's timeline catches up to Geralt's in "Bottled Appetites", and both of them catch up to the beginning of Ciri's in "Before a Fall". Each character's story is internally chronological, but are related to each other thematically, i.e. juxtaposing Geralt's attempt to break the curse on the Striga with Yennefer's ascension.

As a whole, the show includes people of varying ethnicities, with two black characters specifically introduced in-show as Zerrikanians. The place in this adaptation being in line with the portrayal as a mashup of Africa and Arabia in the video game series; as opposed to that of the novels closer similarity to the Eurasian steppe nomads mashed up with Kievan Rus. Notably, the video game series did also refer to other close by nations where non-white people could very reasonably originate/descend from (such as Ofir), despite the lack of appearances of such individuals in the games themselves.

Her backstory gives her a huge Freudian Excuse but by the time Geralt and her meet, she's became an Anti-Villain and even serves as the Villain of the Week for the plot, but Love Redeems and she becomes a better person for it. However, she still slips into villainy a few times, such as trying to help slay a dragon and later trying to sell Ciri to a demon in order to regain her magic, but both times changes her mind, while other times she outright engages in heroics, such as saving the North at Sodden Hill and saving Jaskier from "fire fucker".

Renfri and Geralt are both mutants. To her, they are both monsters, created by men.

This may sound like an I Have No Son! moment; however it really means that he's aware that her real father is a half elf. The questions about what happens to an older Witcher directly foreshadow the later appearance of Vesemir. In the first episode, a wounded Calanthe asks for Mousesack to bring "him" from the tower, only for Mousesack to return and state that "he" has escaped. In episode seven we find out that they're talking about Geralt, who was imprisoned in the castle the whole time. Princess Pavetta may seem overly prone to waterworks in general, as it seems her mother portrays her when mother and daughter are at odds... but propensity for such moodiness is a more subtle sign of early pregnancy. In Season 2 Episode 8, Ciri is stuck in a Lotus-Eater Machine, where she spends time with all of her deceased loved ones, Calanthe, Mousesack and her parents. When she begins to free herself, her loved ones all start turn to ash. Except her father. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that her father is very much alive and in fact the emperor of Nilfgaard.

The Witcher (2019) / int_9e1e14ea	comment	Ambition Is Evil: Downplayed. A number of characters are led astray by their pride and desire for respect and power. Sometimes they have a chance to learn from it, but sometimes not. Yennefer, to boost her career as a court mage and snatch the post at Aedirn from Fringilla, submits herself to a (literal) Magic Plastic Surgery that leaves her sterile. Her defiance of the Brotherhood of Mages earns her ostracism, and she ends up regretting it later anyway, as she finds her work meaningless. She later desperately attempts a number of fertility treatments, some of which almost end up killing her. Tissaia de Vries seems imposing at first, but her Stern Teacher mannerisms donâ€™t earn her much sympathy from her students. She finds herself with few allies when rallying support for Cintra at the meeting of the Brotherhood, and her scene with Fringilla in episode 8 suggests that for the latter the battle was at least in part revenge for how she was treated at Aretuza. Calanthe takes pride in her military achievements, and in her own words "bow[s] to no law made by men who never bore a child", which in her view includes Destiny itself. Her warmongering tendencies made her unpopular with her subjects, while her defiance of the Law of Surprise (twice!) ended up jeopardising the lives of her family. Sir Eyck of Denesle, pious and eager to slay the dragon "for kingdom and glory" is universally despised by the rest of Borchâ€™s team (with the exception of Yennefer, but even thatâ€™s just a ruse). In his overzealousness, he brutally kills a starving creature that would have left them alone were it just fed. This ends up being Laser-Guided Karma for him: he later eats the creatureâ€™s meat, triggering diarrhea (which he was warned about), after which he is killed while emptying his bowels.

Mousesack is a redhead in the novels, but brown-haired in the show. Triss originally had chestnut-coloured (light or reddish brown) hair in the novels (and was turned into a fiery redhead in the games); the show portrays her with dark brown hair. Subverted in Season 2 where her hair is red. Jaskier is also blond in the books. This is only stated outright in the very last book Season of Storms, but is generally implied by his stage name "Jaskier" being Polish for "Buttercup" (a bright yellow flower). In the series, he's brown-haired.

The Witcher (2019) / int_a6275bef	comment	Cool Sword: Geralt's steel and silver swords are the main tools of his trade. Notably, the crossguard styles are inverted from the way they're depicted in the games; the silver sword now has the traditional straight crossguard, while the steel sword has the angular one. This was a practical choice based on the style of swordplay Henry Cavill employed, as the angular crossguard allowed him better wrist movement during fight scenes with other humans. Geralt's steel sword is a weird hybrid weapon. Its blade is the length of an arming sword (one-handed European longsword), but it has a longer "hand & a half" grip of a bastard sword (a longer sword meant to allow the use of both hands for better leverage on the longer blade, though not as long as a greatsword). Weird or not, it's effective in the hands of a man who knows what he's doing.

The Witcher (2019) / int_a6b14ee1	comment	Hollywood Tactics: Battle of Marnadal. The Nilfgaardian army recklessly charged forward, without any formations or tactics. On the other side, Queen Calanthe really screwed things up, deploying the heavy cavalry in front of the infantry and not attacking first. She should have either dismounted their knights or ordered them to charge forward, followed with an infantry attack. Since the Nilfgaardian army was shown as highly undisciplined, a Cintran attack would have had a great shock value and might have outweighed Nilfgaard's numerical superiority. The siege of Cintra's royal castle. After Nilfgaardian's broke into the inner fortress, defenders took refuge inside a keep, which lasted as long as Mousesack's magical shield, with absolutely no other defenses in place nor with any active defensive action against the besieging Nilfgaardians. It appears that the scene was shot in a keep that has long since been converted first into an artillery fort and then into a palace, with a huge number of holes and windows in the outer wall that defeat its very purpose, and a dry moat that has been almost completely filled and equipped with a non-movable bridge to the main gate, which in turn has no gatehouse, making it little more than a glorified front door - all decidedly improbable modifications for a martial and aggressive country like Cintra. As a result, as soon as the spell fails, the keep is immediately treated as a lost cause by both sides. Battle of Sodden Hill. Okay, so you have only a few mages and a lot of infantry troops. You are ordered to capture the fortress defended by a group of superior sorcerers. What would you do? Because Nilfgaardians recklessly kept on sending small groups of soldiers ahead, just as if this was an RTS game. This tactic lacks sense, since Nilfgaard's strategic goal was to capture the North and losing most of the army without even fighting incoming Temerian forces would have made it impossible. On the other hand, we have the defenders. Instead of staying inside the fortress and casting spells with safety granted by the walls, some of the sorcerers just went outside, to the woods, and died in the result. The whole battle would have been avoided too if only the defenders destroyed the bridge on Jaruna. Lack of a crossing over the river would have made it impossible for Nilfgaard to invade the Northern Kingdoms.

The Witcher (2019) / int_a91078ea	comment	Adaptational Jerkass: In the short story "The Bounds of Reason", Eyck of Denesle is depicted as a Noble Bigot who detests witchers and sorceresses, but takes his knightly vows very seriously and even saves Geralt and Yennefer from falling to their deaths when they are caught in a landslide, despite his prejudices against them. He later gets to prove his bravery by agreeing to fight the golden dragon Villentretenmerth in single combat — a decision that gets him crippled, but also earns him the sincere respect of his opponent. His counterpart in the series, on the other hand, is a vain, selfish fool who kills a harmless, starving creature in a needlessly brutal and drawn-out manner and ultimately suffers an Undignified Death. Geralt, on the whole, is far less pleasant to Jaskier than he is in the books. In the books, while they bicker and banter, Geralt's internal narration names Jaskier his best friend, and when Jaskier is injured by the Djinn, Geralt swears to do everything in his power to save him. In the show, Geralt openly treats him at best like an irritating tag-along whom he reluctantly tolerates, and at worst he's actively hostile and unkind towards him. Not to mention that Geralt kicks him away when Yennefer abandons him, which never happened in books. The sad thing is that this still leaves Jaskier as Geralt's best friend in the world. The second season remedies this and shows Geralt overall being much kinder to people, openly admits that he misses Jaskier, and when the two reunite he's overall much kinder to him.

She elects to expedite her magical transformation into a beauty (by forgoing painkillers despite the horrific agony involved and the process leaving the subject infertile), and directly approach the King when her desire is blocked by Stregobor's manipulation though her lover Istredd, with the resulting argument with the latter causing him to angrily state that her desire for power will not give her true happiness. Yen admits in the next episode that ultimately all this caused was people viewing her only by her position, with the job boiling down to helping loathsome monarchs keep their kingdoms with a lot of political arse-wiping, with the additional loss of the ability to have children leaving her particularly unhappy. In the 5th episode, Jaskier and Geralt come across a djinn, and fight over the amphora that contains it. Soon after Jaskier makes his wishes, he falls deathly ill. It turns out Geralt was the one who wound up with the wishes, and the thing he shouted while arguing with Jaskier was him wishing for peace and quiet. Cue Jaskier choking on his own breath.

When Tissaia offers to buy her, he accepts her price without haggling, and tosses her to the sorceress when she tries to refuse. (For comparison, a pig is worth ten marks. Her father asks six for Yennefer, then accepts four without blinking.)

In the series, like the books, Geralt only carries one sword on his back, typically leaving his silver sword on his horse. Triss was a redhead in the games, but in the books she is described as having chestnut-colored hair. Anna Shaffer, though still a Race Lift, is closer to Triss' book description. Geralt's medallion is an ordinary medallion with the symbol of a wolf on it like in the books. In the games, the medallion itself was sculpted in three dimensions like a wolf's head.

Geralt has just his steel sword, no shield, no armor, not even a parrying dagger, and he slaughters them all without so much as a scratch to show for it.

Originally she was a bullied and abused farm girl nearly Driven to Suicide when it was made clear the world considered her only worth four marks (less than half the value of a pig).

Both Stregobor and Renfri explicitly note that he's made a choice despite claiming he wouldn't, with Stregobor teasing him about whether it was the right one.

The Witcher (2019) / int_fed93e1b	type	Dark and Troubled Past
The Witcher (2019) / int_fed93e1b	comment	Dark and Troubled Past: Yennefer suffered under an abusive father (actually stepfather, but at the time she didn't know this) who sold her to a mage for a paltry sum, was disabled, suffered from prejudice over her ancestry and had loathed herself so much she once attempted suicide. Played With in regards to Geralt; on the one hand, his early childhood from what we see of it looked quite nice by the standards of the setting, with him being a bright-eyed child with dreams of being a Knight in Shining Armor and not having to worry about food or shelter. Then his mother abandoned him on the road, Vesemir picked him up, and the rest is history.
