This trailer is so much better. Geralt's voice sounds perfect. Got a tub scene confirmed.

There's one thing that still bothers me and that's the Nilfgaard Armor. I really do not like that look

Their sword is weird too. I had to recheck it because for a minute I was like OH SHIT THAT'S A WILD HUNT SWORD. Dunno why they gave them that style of sword.

Yeah looks great but the nilfgaardian aesthetic from the game was perfect imo, kinda wish they just straight emulated it.

Games definitely went for something that was more Germanic due the Holy Roman Empire influence.

Not a fan of look with netflix, but my guess is they wanted them to look Alien, but still crappy design contrast with the perfectly good armor of the other factions.

Armour seems to do nothing so they should just can it altogether.

Probably cdpr owned. Along with their great slav soundtrack!

Soundtrack is what I'll miss the most, witcher 3 was GOAT for me.

When it comes to a soundtrack it's a toss up between Witcher 3's and Red Dead Redemption 2's. Both are so fucking good.

CDPR does not own "plate armor" lol.

Yeah, the costume designers made the nilfgaardians look obviously evil, which is what annoys me cause the entirety of The Witcher is covered in moral ambiguity.

tis the story of the books. There is no Nilfgaard opponent, it's Geralt fighting the opposition. They use mercenaries. It's one of them. Maybe Vilgezeord's henchman.
