I disliked video game Triss at first as well. I played Witcher 3, then went back and played Witcher 2. Witcher 3 they really push a romance with Yennefer. First time I played the 3rd it felt weird to break up with your current girlfriend during a crisis to hook up with an ex. After seeing your relationship with Triss in the second game, it really warmed me up to her, even though her voice acting doesn't fit the rest of the world. (neither does Lamberts) The way Yennefer talks down to Geralt, and gets close to being abusive. (don't put up with her crap when you return to Kaer Morhen for example and see what happens) Triss wants to be your partner while Yennefer want to be your boss. So ya, besides the out of place voice, Triss is my "head cannon" of who Garalt ended up with.Flatfingers wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 2:18 pm"The actress who does Triss sucks and doesn't pull her character off at all well." ...and in the TV series. I wish this weren't so; I prefer to praise than criticize. But neither the voice acting for Triss in the games nor the acting for Triss in the TV show impressed me. Maybe it's just a dull character?
It's strange, because I am not sure who their target audience is. If they are only aiming for established fans, then they did poorly by changing too much. If they want to reach a new audience they did a crap job because setups had zero explanation. Luckily the rest of the show is pretty solid so it helps cover the bad areas.Flatfingers wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 2:18 pmAs for the first episode, the moment someone said the town Geralt was in was called Blaviken, I involuntarily blurted out, "oh, crap," because I knew what had to be coming, having heard Geralt being called "the Butcher of Blaviken" So Many Times in the games. Even so, I absolutely agree that anyone who hadn't read the books or played the games would have been confused by starting off a show that way, seemingly entirely unconnected to the narrative thread of the first season.
I found Jaskier/Dandelion in the TV show alright. Maybe they picked a younger actor because they plan on aging him up as the series progresses?Flatfingers wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 2:18 pmI prefer the characterization of Dandelion in the games to the kid in the TV show.
The actress who plays Ciri is an adult made to look like a early teenage girl, so I guess they have this covered.
Wow, I had no idea. That's actually pretty impressive.
It is, though once I knew it's hard not to notice. Considering it's all done with costume and makeup it's not bad.
Because Yen isnt the ex, Yen is the has-been-going-for-decades relationship, with Triss occasionally butting in to get laid by Geralt.Zanteogo wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 3:43 pmI disliked video game Triss at first as well.

They could at least have dyed her hair the proper color... in the books its made very clear that triss has glorious auburn curls.Zanteogo wrote: Really sucks they picked someone to play her in the series who probably couldn't hack it in a soap opera.
They changed not much, except condensing.Zanteogo wrote: It's strange, because I am not sure who their target audience is.

That is because Dandelion is decades younger there than in the games, the games play after the events of the show.Zanteogo wrote:I found Jaskier/Dandelion in the TV show alright.

Being as the show has been labeled a success maybe they will take their time in future seasons knowing they have multiple seasons to tell the story. Assuming Netflix survives that long. Doesn't look like they are doing that good.
The stuff they cut really was unnecessary for anything. (like the aforementioned exchange between geralt and istredd, or shortened the story of how duny and pavetta came together and so on)Zanteogo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 6:12 pmBeing as the show has been labeled a success maybe they will take their time in future seasons knowing they have multiple seasons to tell the story.

Though I am sure someone would pick them up.
