    I always find it a bit hilarious when such creatures in folklore can only be seen by the "simple minded" and children.... I wonder why that is.... might be the same reason why UFOs only visit less educated rural areas I guess :D

    It's interesting to me from a linguistic viewpoint that "umrlec" corresponds so well to Old English's "līċ" (not to be confused with the unaccented -lic, which is just a suffix that means like, as seen with modern German words like freundlich) , which means corpse, and is the source of the common fantasy monster type the Lich. Germanic and Slavic language groups at their root both come from Proto-Indo European ancestors, so even where we have diverged, we can find some similarities.

    Slavic folklore has quite the large amount of undead/ghost stories or related tales, it's interesting how people of the old venerated the dead in one way or another. Like the ancient day "dziady" in Poland where people usually from rural villages come together usually in a abandoned church or cemetery house in order to try and appease some spirits to help them pass on. The whole occurrence is actually written down in a book by one of our national writers "Adam Mickiewicz".

    V polských legendách existuje postava jménem wiedzmin/vědmák jako muž od slangového označení čarodějnice/léčitelky vědmy. A co jsem tak četl, tak se zmiňují v polštině o wiedzminech jako o potulných léčitelích, lidí co umí zahánět zlé duchy a lámat kletby. Nikde jsem nenašel zmínky o lektvarech a mečích, ale osobně si myslím, že toto by mohlo být původní inspirací s ohledem na Sapkowskiho věk a původ.

    Bro die hard here. I don't think it's "shallow" to want to avoid playing older titles because they are dated. Difference in game play between TES5 and Oblivion/Morrowind is nowhere near as bad as between Witcher 3 and Witcher 1. Witcher 1 played like a wonky MMO due to limitations and inexperience of devs at the time, and felt somewhat immature in writing at times, hence the remake. No need to call people "shallow" for wanting to wait until a more modern and well-made version is developed that applies what Devs learned from working on Cyberpunk and Witcher 3.

    those who claim the books were/are not Slavic are merely trying to delegitimise the story and it's roots to excuse the dog*&^t that was the Netflix series that lfelt more like like LA transplanted into pseudo medieval times not Eastern Europe. The same vandalism that was done to Tolkien's work, no European centric stories are allowed without adhering to 'The Message'

    I said when I came out of the cinema after watching the masterpiece that is the Northman, that now every other Viking show or movie is ruined to me, not just for the clothes, but for the attempt at transportation to the mindset of the era.....which would't have been possible without attention to the clothes, since they affect everything ,from movement to body language to actual plot points. So the argument that they don't matter is null and void. To understand another story in another time, you have to start by understanding the world from the bottom up, because it shapes the way the story will play out.

    Or as you mentioned with fantastay aka fantastic elements of the genre, it's its more realisiam, the more it is historically accurate to the period the better, low fantasy is better in my opinion, if you have the over fantasied elements it's not realistic or interesting, mixing it with real life makes it relatable,.

    Whine whine complain complain. Despite all the nitpicks, which is exactly what they are, I still don't see the issue with the casting or acting. It's thematically on point and serves to tell the story. Fans are sometimes a little too anal. Why do you want the books to be the same as the game to be the same as the show? 😅 Experiencing the same thing in 3 different mediums is mental. I'm glad they went a different route. The only thing that sucked was the bloody time jumps with no indication it is a time jump
