  2. Essi Daven from book 2 https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Essi_Daven
  3. I am up to book 8 (the final short stories book) of the Witcher and have encountered Coral, who is also in the show. They made her ugly in the show, the real actress looks like this: She is also sexy in the book. Book cover for Season of Storms: https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Lytta_Neyd at least one of the short stories (books 1, 2, 8 ) have been adapted into comics: Comic name Latest issue The Witcher: Of Flesh and Flame Completed The Witcher (2014) Completed The Witcher: Fox Children Completed The Witcher Omnibus Completed The Witcher: Killing Monsters Completed The Witcher: Library Edition Completed The Witcher: Witch's Lament Completed The Witcher: Fading Memories Completed Hillbilly (2018) Completed The Witcher: Curse of Crows Completed The Witcher: Matters of Conscience Completed The World of the Witcher Completed The Witcher: Reasons of State Completed Gwent: Art of the Witcher Card Game Completed
  4. I would rather strive with bravery with the bravest than in possessions with the wealthiest and in greed with the greediest. Cato
  5. + another thing I picked up on in the books is that Yennefer is sterile and wants to become fertile again. This is very important to her. And there are ways, however rare and expensive to regain that ability in their world. However I don't think they addressed this in Witcher 3 and the endings in the game. It seems like they avoided this potentially interesting aspect in the games, of how Geralt and Yennefer could retire and then start a family.
  6. Yeah, literally in a extreme, feminist matriarchy if it was economically and socially possible they would just get the top crust of supermen breeding with all the women, that's what the science shows. A large portion of males would die without mating with any partner. It also shows how pre 1950s- male dominated cultures tried to reduce female sexual selection power to a low level, particulary among the Muslims. Now we're back to where women are winning and are reducing male power in all spheres of life. The Dicpario thread is the most disturbing thread on BZ to me, thanks to his career of reading outloud and the nonstop PR he has a gaggle of women who are obsessed with him since they saw Titanic and Romeo & Juliet. He wouldn't give them anymore more than few words and an autograph if they met him. As far as Cavilli goes his body is silly in the role, a pure classic bodybuilder type with muscles so big that it would hamper his flexibliity in swordsmenship and martial arts. His biceps, chest etc are huge and look silly to me. He would also have to explain how in medieval times he could eat 300 grams of protein everyday and take steriods lol. I agree with you about Viggo (when he was young) and Fassbender. Bruce Lee focused on building small but extremley ripped muscles, and developing extremely fast twitch muscles for the movie screen. I liked Brad Pitt and Bana's physiques in Troy 2004, they are closer to what a military athlete would look like. Another good physique for the TV screen was the Maximus' black friend from Gladiator. To sum things up Geralt of Riveria wasn't written as a manwhore but a fighting man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCoAdQAfKJk Troy Archilles vs Hector The book covers use artwork of Geralt that look more like Witcher 2, and the author's intent. I do understand the artistic change in Witcher 3- since we have to see his face so much, it's better for marketing and gaming if they made Geralt better looking and more like a ruggedly handsome lumberjack! : Fassbender as Macbeth, 2 swords too!
  7. I heard from book readers that in the book, Yennefer wins over Triss. I picked on with the Djinn however I feel like it's the author's way of hedging a storytelling contrivance- before "the Last Wish" there are no romantic relationships that Geralt participates in (except visiting brothels). In the short story "Sword of Destiny", he meets Ciri and there is another thing like this invoked, attaching Ciri to Geralt. However the Yennefer-Geralt relationship is written in a realistic way and there is no indication that Geralt's romantic mind changed. He just likes this type of relationship. Later on in book 2 there is another romantic liason, and they are the same as the ones in Witcher 3- they have some drama, have sex, and then she orders Geralt to do sh*t for her! LOL. I think that Yennifer's behavior is just like a lot of real women in real life. I think this psychology is evolutionary, like they are constantly pushing their men to do stuff and constantly are unsatisfied. + This is character in book 2 (Essi) that is connected with Dandelion. If I remember correctly, when Geralt meets Dandelion in Witcher 3 this woman (who doesn't appear in the games) is talked about. Another thing I find interesting about the book is that Dandelion accompanies Geralt a lot in the stories, just like in the first act of the game. https://www.google.com/search?q=witcher+essi&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiFic-0u83zAhWJqnIEHRRzCuoQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=witcher+essi&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzIHCCMQ7wMQJzIFCAAQgAQyBggAEAgQHjIGCAAQCBAeMgQIABAYMgQIABAYOggIABCABBCxAzoICAAQsQMQgwE6BggAEAUQHjoGCAAQChAYOgsIABCABBCxAxCDAVC4C1ihRWCXR2gGcAB4AIAB4gGIAbwQkgEGMTQuNC4ymAEAoAEBqgELZ3dzLXdpei1pbWfAAQE&sclient=img&ei=hwBqYcWpH4nVytMPlOap0A4&bih=500&biw=1093 Now that I am nearly done with book 2 I scanned the TV series for a few minutes and it looks like they dig into book 3 as I don't recognize a lot of stuff. So I will have to read books 8 and the 3 before I do the series.
  8. I have lived long enough. The course of my life is beginning to wither and fall away, like a yellowing leaf in autumn. The things that should go along with old age, like honor, love, obedience, and loyal friends, I cannot hope to have. Instead, I have passionate but quietly whispered curses, people who honor me with their words but not in their hearts, and lingering life, which my heart would gladly end, though I can’t bring myself to do it. Macbeth
  9. Yeah I do, I like girls with green/blue eyes and black hair too, Brooke Shields, Hilary Rhoda, Alex Daddario, etc.
  10. I like her, I was already subscribed. She has talent!
  11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Duel_(2021_film) The Last Duel is a 2021 historical drama film directed and produced by Ridley Scott.
