      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.

    we all know that in games and books only Zerrikanians, Zangvebarians or Ofierians would have dark skin. they cast Téa
    and Véa like that because they're Zerrikanian. it's like - deep south people will be portrayed only by dark skinned people but everyone in the north is just random person from the whole globe. I would not care if it was in the lore but that world is very xenophobic and territorial and everyone hates everyone. Geralt has yellow eyes and everyone hates him. image having black skin in that world. this diversity looks out of place just for the sake of woke checkmarks.

      @@VentureHolly So why Téa
      and Véa - Zerrikanians - exclusively black? why not 50/50: asian/caucasian, african/asian, caucasian/african? because show runner obviously projecting our worlds agendas and double standards: no whites in Wakanda but middle ages in Europe is super diverse is the status quo now. Like I said I would not care but woke checkmarks are too in your face.

      @@VentureHolly "Maybe" is not an answer. first time you see people from the south of the Continent and they are black - they made a decision and it's obvious why.
      Wakanda is fictional in fictional version of Earth. And in Vikings everyone is white but how about "The Hollow Crown" and other historical BBC shows with black actors in European settings.

      @@VentureHolly I won't feel foolish because most likely they will be too scared of "whitewashing" Zerrikanians. that's where double standards come in. They established that Zerrikanians are black now (and for some racist reason - they are exotic and from far south). And it's nice that colour-blind casting is nothing new. Like I said I don't care. I like some accuracy to source material (I like my Starfire orange - not white or Domino painted white - not white actress) but it's not that important. What I hate is double standards - they will never ever cast Asian Wakandans and now most likely Zerrikanians too.
      In Hellboy Ed Skrein was replaced by Daniel Dae Kim because of whitewashing but in the same movie Alice Monaghan - an Irish ginger was played by a black actress Sasha Lane.
      Also I'm not very familiar with Shakespeare - are characters (not events and situations) made up or they real historical figures?

      @Admire Kashiri I know that. I'm talking geographically and stereotypically. two exotic women from far lands - must be both black. Don't you think that's racist? showrunner is like: "let's make most racist part of the world very inclusive ant tolerant and lets make everyone who is exotic in some way a stereotypical foreigner from palm hut"

    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.
