As for adaptation, it is that sometimes you need to twist things a little in order to do what you want better. Whether it is the right choice or not, depends on how warlike you are in the concept of fidelity. When it comes to Witch The series, however, I expect that most people will not care, with the exception of the author of the original books of Andrem Sapkovsky himself. His personal grip? The very existence of different schools of a witch.
In the games of the Witcher, various schools appear here and there, a Vedima, and Geralt from Rivia came from the wolf school. With the exception of the recent AMA with sapkowski on Reddit (Thank you, PC Gamer), the whole idea of schools was completely blown up. “The problem of the“ school -visors ”requires – I apologize – a longer explanation,” wrote Sapkovsky. “The only proposal about some“ wolf school ”mysteriously fell out in the last desire. Later, I considered it an unworthy development and narrative incorrect, even harmful to the plot. ”
For some context, the last desire is the first book that he wrote in the series. The author continues to explain that he did not include any links to any other schools in any of his other books from that moment. “Nevertheless, this proposal was enough. Adapters, especially the people of the video game, clung to this idea with remarkable perseverance and miraculously multiplied these “school schools”. Completely unnecessary. ”
Sapkovsky also noted how he is not sure how he wants to dispel this idea of schools, offering to remove any mention of them in future editions of the last desire, or even simply expanding and explaining this idea in future books. “Perhaps I shed a shed light on the question about the medallions, their significance and their connection with specific people? There are many opportunities, and the sky is the limit. ”
I must admit that it will tickle me a little. I am not a Mega Witcher fan, I enjoyed the third, but the schools felt important enough to be relatively memorable. And they are simply not quite a thing, obvious!
Ultimately, Sapkovsky’s comments do not matter, since the games, obviously, took on their own very large life. I doubt that in the CD Projekt Red there will be someone who will lose his dream from this.
In any case, this year there should have been the last patch of Witcher 3, But it recently received a boot until 2026I am sure that you can wait even longer for your cross -platform support for mod.
