I've tried the games but can never seem to get into them. It's kinda hard to say because I don't know if they actually announced exactly what time period the show will be in from the books. But as with any book series it's probably not a bad idea to start at the beginning, I think that would be "the last wish" if you don't count the short stories. Edit: Actually now that I think of it I think "blood of elves" is the first in the Geralt saga so that would probably be the best place to start.

You couldn't get into the game mechanically or what? Edited September 4, 2018 by cddolphin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The books would still be better reference anyway because as far as I know they are strictly going off the books for the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I’m pretty ok with this. I guess since it’s happening soon I better read the 5 Witcher books I bought last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) I'd be okay with Eva Green as Yen. I'd consider Yvonne Strahovski or Kate Beckinsale. Ciri - I like the young lady from the movie It and Sharp Objects. Elle Fanning also. Edited September 5, 2018 by MikeT14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_shadows Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 After thinking about it more than I'd like to admit I've finally decided my official personal choice for Ciri although I think it's highly unlikely. Chloe Grace Moretz... She's shown range among her roles and has action experience while having a look that with the right make up can work for Ciri at pretty much any age from early teens to early 20s. Again, I don't think it's very likely... But that would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like my picks were anything to clamor about, but I just can't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Man, I was hoping for an all-Continental-European cast. Guess that's out the window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You referring to Ciri being cast as a black female? Can't say I'm surprised at this point. Netflix has gone full SJW in recent couple years. https://twitter.com/hailzor?lang=en Here's one of the show's writers^^. She's a "patriarchy-smasher" according to her bio. Seems to love to tweet about BLM, the Kavanaugh appointment, and other similar topics. If I could roll my eyes any harder, they'd fall out of my head. Great job Netflix. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
