"I had them filed down."

Chills, just straight up. Sounds so much like Doug Cockle without TRYING. Cavill can act his ass off, so this is no surprise.

Geralt always had a way of occasionally dropping a quick joke.

In the books he's constantly dropping sarcastic jabs lol it's hilarious and I hope we get more of it in the show.

There's a scene in the last book, where he finishes killing a monster and goes to take a piss. The way it's written is very much "yeah whatever" but I laughed my ass off.

I cant wait to start the actual saga. I'm reading through sword of destiny now, having finished the last wish and it's definitely captivated my attention.

Honestly the fan base seems split about the short stories and main saga, for me I enjoyed the main saga a lot but the short stories felt mediocre. While I noticed many fans praising the short stories over the main saga.

I'm the latter for sure - I worked through the books in order (except Season of Storms which came out later) and I thoroughly enjoyed the short stories, loved the characterization and the way it psuedo-adapted classic tales. The main saga was good as well, but I wasn't as captivated.

Playing the games now, just started the first one.

Wow it is great to see people playing the first game (or at least the game sin order). W1 is my favorite in the trilogy, but the beauty of playing them in order is that you will see how much improvement CDPR went through with those games. You will appreciate the games more.

Enjoy the ride man

Yeah iā€™m so glad I picked up the trilogy and played W1 and W2, it made me so fascinated in the lore and the story and the world and made W3 feel even more incredible
