Is this essentially the storyline of the first game?

I expected nothing and I was pleasantly surprised. Cavill was perfect as Geralt, Anya Chalotra was a delicious Yennifer. Triss was meh... that perm looked horrible. The kid playing Ciri was also not bad.
I have almost nothing bad to say about it, the confusing timelines are the only thing that was a bit too much, but it kinda worked in the end, overall I'd say that this is a very good adaption and I'm glad that it exists. The critics trashing this are morons.
That fight in Blavikan in Episode 1
I didn't expect that fight to be that good. While i was watching, i expect something typically amateurish, and then it began. That's one strong hook for viewers, especially since that's, by far, the best display of Geralt in battle in that entire show.

I was wrong, Anna Shafer was not the right choice for Triss. Anna should have been cast as Sabrina.
Therisa Wilson-Read who played Sabrina should have been cast as Triss.
Give her red hair and a lighthouse scene with Geralt. Oh man.
She does if Netflix sticks to the canon of the books (remember that they killed Mousesack/Ermion). She appears in 3 novels of the saga and even appears in The Witcher 1 & 2.I hope Sabrina survived the Battle. She needs more screen time next season
It's known from the games, dude. It was big part of Witcher 3's storyline.JohnnyFootball Dude. Spoiler block that! Some people haven't read the books!
Dude, as a courtesy. There are almost definitely people in here who haven't played the games or read the books.It's known from the games, dude. It was big part of Witcher 3's storyline.

Fine.Then it'd make sense to post it in a TW3 thread, why spoil a TV show for those who may not have even touched the games?
Appreciated. A bit further down the line for that twist I'd think, unless they focus hard on Nilfgaard next season but as of the last episode... the First Northern War is over. Nilfgaard lost.Now can we get back to my questions. I suspect that it will be a plot twist for season 2.
No. Aliens empowers its male characters, even Hudson i.e. who goes on a personal hero journey of sorts from arrogant wisecracking joker to panicking "this can't be happening man!" wimp ("yeah, right man, Bishop should go. Good idea") finally to become a hero & die with honor i.e. "die motherfuckers!!!" as he blasted the hell out of the Aliens.
Netflix Witcher meanwhile takes a sexy white sorcerous with red hair & turns her into an ugly random black woman who looks like she'd be more comfortable working for US postal service. It's done on purpose. Some might choose to bury their head in the sand & ignore the insult, whilst some of us don't.
Out of curiosity (very MORBID curiosity), what does the 'other place' think of the show?
They all saying she's perfect for the part? That would be so predictable.Read some of the thread last night. Triss is definitely the hilarious elephant in the room.
The dude is a great actor, but he is in everything now it seems.They all saying she's perfect for the part? That would be so predictable.
I'm pretty sure some of them are complaining about Henry Cavill's casting. Some of them were hoping for Mahershala Ali.
No, this is an adaptation of the books, the games are sequels to the books.Is this essentially the storyline of the first game?
Not like that they needed to look far too. Many fans think that Emma Appleton, who played Renfri, should have played Triss.Someone said it was like an R- rated Xena. I went into it with that mindset and loved it all the way through. Was it janky? Sure but it was alot of fun. I played and beat all the games but never read the books. One huge complaint Triss should have been a bombshell redhead, cmon now.
Meaning just you?Many fans
Admittedly, the "diversity" of the cast used for ordinary townsfolk was fairly misplaced for my taste. This is subjective, but I always pictured the world to be very medieval and slavic, with loads of racism. The huge amount of PoC cast, non-secret interracial relationsips among peasants etc. struck me as very out of place, given what I would have expected, that part seemed a little... americanized. Did not mind the diversity for e.g. mages though, for my subjective interpretation of the lore it makes a lot more sense they'd have come from all over the world and have different origins than anyone else.
It should be noted that they're "unofficial" sequels since the story isn't really approved/conceived by Andrzej Sapkowski.No, this is an adaptation of the books, the games are sequels to the books.
He's not a good writer.Loved the show and the risks they took. It made me want to read the books.
Currently reading the first law trilogy, will start the witcher after.
Then netflix threw it in the mud.
