      Gwent wasn't a thing in the books. Geralt didn't even hear of Gwent until the 3rd game, which takes place about 5ish years after the end of the books. The TV series takes place about 11 years before Witcher 3. Barrel is the closest thing in the books.

    As a long time fan of both books and ALL games, I hate when this series is almost completely compared to only Witcher 3. Yeah, it's the most popular of the 3 and one of the best games of the generation, but still, even this list had like 2 references to Witcher 1 and 2. And most of the "differences" in this list are just by the fact that there is like 10 years between source material (books) and the video games.
    Also, Triss hair colour is MOST TRUE to the source material in Witcher 2, Sapkowski has stated this himself.

      Because she is supposed to look like Yennefer, like a doppleganger of Yenn.
      - As an example. Katherine Pierce and Elena Gilbert (both played by Nina Dobrev) are a carbon copy of each, since Elena is a doppleganger of Katherine. So it makes sense both characters being played by the same actress or 2 actresses with similar looks.
      - That's what should have been done with Fringilla and Yennefer.
      - I mean, Geralt caled her (Fringilla) Yennefer when he slept with her... because of how much they looked alike.

    I still can't get over Triss in this show. In the books she was described as looking much younger, almost like a teen (despite being older). And chestnut brown does has a slight hint of red, even if it wasnt anywhere near as bright as in the games. Her actor may be talented, but aside from maybe the air she _really_ doesnt look like Triss.

    Mojo continues to prove they don't know what they're talking about. The striga in the first game had red hair because the person it was originally had red hair.

    Can we talk about how every time Hollywood makes a character be a POC it's always at the expense of a redhead?
    What's that shit? We can't make blondes or brunettes POC?

      Steve_ En Triss wasn’t a red head in the book. It was something that was specific to the game.
      I think I would have liked her to stay a red head though... it kinda made her stand out.

    Pretty sure Geralt used Quen not Yrden against the Striga. Yrden is a magical trap. Quen is a shield or barrier and is even used in a similar fashion in a cut scene in the 3rd game where Geralt tosses a baby into an oven and uses the sign to keep the oven hatch closed.

    This video makes the same mistake as many in the books did, to which Geralt says, "They're both for monsters."

      When Geralt says they're both for monsters he's referring to humans being terrible people, the silver sword only works on magical creatures
