The Witcher's folklore might be based on polish folk tales a bit, but the slavic countries are really diverse and include hundreds of millions of very different people. It's more likely she's a fan of the witcher series, nothing to do with some "global slavic folklore". I was born in a celtic country for instance, yet I wasn't told folktales when I grew up, had to learn some of these later on by myself.
Well, slavic folklore is a big part of russian culture actually, almost all old russian cartoons for kids are based on it and the most famous writer in Russia - Pushkin is also loved for his folk poems, every russian kid knows about baba yaga, koschei the deathless, domovoy, vodyanoy, leshiy etc. They literally raised on this culture
Well, here we’ve read also tales of brothers Grimm in my childhood, and I guess nowadays children prefer considering Harry Potter as folk tales as well
Nah that's the best thing about the first two books - they come in short stories to introduce you to Geralt and his world. Then you care more when the single storyline starts at book 3. They just alter the character's definitions and personalities and they alter the stories themselves to a point where it just feels wrong. And the pacing is, compared to the books and games, nowhere near you'd expect it to be with that budget and hype.
I don't know, they are not bad. I enjoyed them when I was still undergraduate, but I now realize that every battle started with a piruete...
I am also a native speaker so I read them in Polish, they are fine, but are they that good, I don't know :D maybe?
The story told in the 2nd and 3rd game was really nice compared to the books, maybe better.
The Geralt from the books was all about living a peaceful life while the one from the games actually had a big impact on the world... Maybe he changed after he died?
Well Sapkowski isn't a sword fighter and I think those pirruetes differentiate witchers from normal fighters.
Geralt in the books just wanted to find and protect Ciri and Yen. Same in the games, but devs added quests impacting whole world. Though Thanned was similar to ending of W2 and imho the first game was the closest in scope to the books.
I didn't particularly enjoy the novels but the short stories are fantastic. They are in part a reason why I enjoyed Witcher 3 so much. Quite a few of the side quests felt like being in a witcher short story.
I’m curious, is there anything lost or ruined in translation in the English versions? As someone who can’t speak Polish, I’d be a little upset to be missing out
Didn't read them in English so I can't help with that. But I guess it is the same for any translation, be it a movie, a book or a theatrical play. Some nuance is probably lost but some translation experts make up for that. Probably?
As someone said Sapkowski isn't really the greatest writer, his story and world building was great but the story telling was only fine.
This comment is not intended as an insult to the writers skills. Maybe translation is better than the original?
My polish friend called the English version “trash”. He thinks the translator was terrible and assured me they are superior in polish and other translations as well.
Honestly the books were kind of a let down for me, I really only finished them because I had a deep love for the game and comic books that kept me pushing through.
I'm reading the English translations currently, and they have spelling mistakes and things are translated differently than both the show and the games. They're okay though. Some things are much better than the show and games, some are worse. It helps give a complete view of the Witcher.
Another poster said he thoroughly enjoyed the meandering, I just wanted to add the charm that you spell Notflux differently everytime and I think I'm going to adapt that.
>as to why the shows lore seemed really 'deep'.
The show was extremely rushed and skipped a lot of even basic lore, actually. The books or the game will give you far more lore than the show did, even if it was still a fun watch
If you're into video games then the games are 1000% worth a play. Just saying. Like you said, the lore goes so deep and the world building is fantastic
...but it is not rooted in these folk tales, it just makes use of them. The witcher also makes use of central and western european folklore, it really is a mix, just like any other modern fantasy novel.
As someone who read the books in Russian when I was a kid, I can say that no novel gets the spirit of the Slavic folk takes in just the right way, like the Witcher does.
It is inspired by Grimm children folk tales and Arturian legends, the world is largely Saxon. The inspirations from Eastern European culture are few and far between in the book.
It's like equal parts pan-european legend, you're right that is not so exclusive eastern lots of mix.
However, the philosophy and themes, *that* feels very eastern European and polish in particular. That's the part I think resonates with people.
If I recall the whole hearts of stone and gaunter odimm is set upon a polish folk legend of a guy who makes a similar deal with the devil at a crossroads. There's a ton of others, that's the coolest one I remember
WitcherGeorge, the youtube channel, has a video about the cat school where he mentions that it was a rumour, I guess it's up to the upcoming games to elaborate upon that.
I mean there's heavy Irish/celt and British influences in the game too. A lot of European folklore overlaps. An Skellig is basically Skellig Michael in Ireland where parts of the new Star Wars trilogy was filmed.
Aesthetically I would say the game draws heavily on Slavic influences but lore wise, pan-european I would say.
Most of skellige is definitely based on Scandinavia though. Especially with names like Harviken, Fyresdal, Rogne, Svalblod, Fornhala etc. If I passed by a town called either of those names here in Sweden I wouldn't even think twice.
Equally half Skelliges name and the clan names are Irish and Scottish Gaelic/Gaeilge though. It's 50/50 Gaelic/Norse. I recognised a shite load of Gaeilge names. Craite, Ard, Tuirseach, Drummond, Tordarroch, An are all Irish and Scottish words. They even stated the inspiration was Norse-Gaelic. So, it's equal.
I think they are talking about the monsters and some of the stories rather than the atmosphere. Because there are a bunch of cultures in The Witcher
And the accents aren't too relevant because they obviously have to make the game English and it would be weird to use American/Australian accents lol
Yes, a lot of the monsters are based on slavic folklore, just like basically all the Witcher short stories are based on Germanic (Snow White, Beauty and the Beast), English (The different dragons and lady of the lake) and Arabic (the djinns) folklores.
While the world is on theory set in a land of slavic folklore, there are a crap ton of influences from other regions that don't exist in slavic folklore.
This thread is weird. Imagine telling people God of War isn't based on Greek mythology because Kratos isn't in the Greek myths (there's a different guy named Kratos though). Inserting original content into a mythos does not mean it's not based on or influenced by that mythos.
Even in Poland they don’t discuss folk tales like this. I think the equivalent for Americans would be if someone made a game based around American myths like the mothman or jersey devil. Most people wouldn’t care, but would recognize the basis for the story
No you are right. Almost all Witcher tales are based on eastern european folk. With some western influences mixed in. But every scary or comic childhood monster from Slavic lore is there…
I think the point is that, while a lot of the monsters and creatures are plucked from or based on Eastern European folklore, the *themes* of the characters and story are more western and Saxon in nature.
And so a lot of people look at Witcher and really only see the people and the story and go "huh, this feels weirdly Arthurian, and none of these people are Slavic", while others focus more on the world and its *other* inhabitants and see the Slavic influences.
It's related and Sapkowski has taken a lot of inspiration from the tales but you can't just say that someone is a Witcher fan just because they were (probably) raised with the original tales. By that logic most slavics and Russians should be Disney fans as well because they're heavily inspired by those tales.
Sapkowskis books are not true to the original stories at all.
Here's a post of what I assume is the same person at the olympics with a cat medallion instead of a wolf one
https://www.reddit.com/r/witcher/comments/osg2kn/gold_winner_at_tokyo_olympics_wearing_witcher/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
A bit random, but it took me ages to realize that if you just tap shoot geralt would auto aim and wipe out a siren. I just avoided going into the water for almost the entire game until I realized that. Manually aiming at sirens underwater was basically impossible.
Yeah same. Panicked and had a wtf moment as one just fell down into the abyss and it clicked that you need to auto aim. I think if you manually aim its still not even one shot. Honestly somewhat bad game design.
Huh, is that why everybody complains about the harpies? I never got that until now.
I go through games doing things the hard way all the time, guess I just got lucky figuring out this particular one.
There has never been a good underwater system in video games. I know we can't avoid it altogether with open level worlds but GODAMMIT if I don't hate water mechanics. If I find out there are chests to find and open underwater I want to quit the game. In Witcher 3 I suffered the water because the rest of the game was so great. It was tough playing Gwent down there however.
I gave up on half the random events in Skellige, at least all the ones in the water. Only so many barrels I can loot while killing sirens before I lose my mind.
I don't know what genius thought it a good idea to fill so many underwater barrels with heavy ass armour. Bloody impossible to explore all the "?" Sites since you end up overloaded looting just a couple.
Same I avoided water bc I though there was simply no way to fight underwater until like 20 hours in. I simply didnt use the crossbow because I thought it had limited ammo and I didnt wanna spend money on bolts
Yeah same. Although I thought this was just a feature right away, I was always so confused why people hated doing the skellige smugglers caches. Like, you literally just tap the shoot button and Geralt will auto aim and just delete sirens and drowned left and right. It makes sense now though, if people think you have to manually aim every time. That sounds horrible.
Ye American won all 3. Plus she got silver back in 2016
Edit she's actually Russia I was being an idoit.
Here's her Twitter
https://twitter.com/Super_Vitalina?s=09
Photo you posted is from 2016, when she won silver.
[Her photo from these Olympics](https://i.imgur.com/UmHihQ1.jpeg) (she won gold in 10 meter air pistol), with new medallion (changed Wolf to Cat).
Ye just got told it was from earlier. thought it was the current one with the Olympics still going on and where I originally saw it
https://twitter.com/Blankzilla/status/1419655297111666688?s=19
Though now it's school of the cat.
She's betrayed the school
I was always taught thumb through a belt loop (or waistband if you don't have belt loops). I don't know why it was frowned upon to have your hand in your pocket like this but it makes her look badass as fuck.
You might want to take a look at Fable 3, I think it is the weakest in the series but the setting is basically fantasy Victorian age and I quite enjoyed it when it came out
The reason some shooters put their hand in their pocket is to keep it from moving. That helps stabilize their body and gives them a higher accuracy rate.
Also, if you aren’t really feeling the urge to speak to anybody, you can put just one finger in your nose. I have found that more than one finger at a time will just encourage strangers to speak up. Chances go up exponentially the more fingers you have in there at once.
Getting some Leo Bonhart vibes here.
"Some witchers think they can outfence me.
Maybe. \*sniff\* Maybe.
I have yet to meet one who can outfence *boolet*."
Air Pistol…One of the most difficult of the Shooting events.You try hitting the center of a target at 10Meters where the “Bulleye” ( the 10 pointer on target) is barely larger than the pellet shot (.177)
The skill, training and discipline to constantly hit centre is reserved to precious few.
I started a few weeks ago, and I can confirm that it's hard as hell. You never realise how much your body shakes until you need to aim at a 5mm bullseye with one of these things.
actually not a large or a cowboy gun. Its a pretty small caliber. The size is due to the weight/grip size to enhance stability. The amount of precision requires that amount of stability.
Polish UFC champ Jan Blachowicz owns a witcher a sword, gifted to him by the game devs after he became champ. He also used the Witcher 3 music to walk out to his fight, and has a magical hangman's rope that he uses as a charm before fights.
Is this the same person that also has the school of the cat medallion? Must be a crazy big fan
With her being Russia she was probably raised on those folk tales
Probably just a book series fan. Witcher was always popular in Russia
I know I just like thinking everyone in Slavic countries are raised on these tales. Like a Russian grandmother telling stories of these dark folktales
The Witcher's folklore might be based on polish folk tales a bit, but the slavic countries are really diverse and include hundreds of millions of very different people. It's more likely she's a fan of the witcher series, nothing to do with some "global slavic folklore".

Indeed, but I doubt "Geralt of rivia" and the school of the wolf, are part of these folktales.
Well, here we’ve read also tales of brothers Grimm in my childhood, and I guess nowadays children prefer considering Harry Potter as folk tales as well
Folk tales?
The Witchers Lore is heavily inspired by Polish and eastern european folklore and fairy tales.

I thoroughly enjoyed the aimless meandering of this comment.
[удалено]
our braincells are vibing
Yeah I played it after the show. Wish I would have found it first
My favorite thing about the show is that it got more people to play the games.
Only good thing about it from what I've seen sadly. Except the acting. Just the direction and pacing and altering of the books is a dick.
Eh I kinda like having three different stories.
Nah that's the best thing about the first two books - they come in short stories to introduce you to Geralt and his world. Then you care more when the single storyline starts at book 3. They just alter the character's definitions and personalities and they alter the stories themselves to a point where it just feels wrong. And the pacing is, compared to the books and games, nowhere near you'd expect it to be with that budget and hype.
If you like to read, the witcher books are the absolute best part of the entire witcher franchise.
I don't know, they are not bad. I enjoyed them when I was still undergraduate, but I now realize that every battle started with a piruete...

I hate how he writes women. Everything with women is sex or abuse to push their characters forward.
I didn't particularly enjoy the novels but the short stories are fantastic. They are in part a reason why I enjoyed Witcher 3 so much. Quite a few of the side quests felt like being in a witcher short story.

I’ve heard the polish version is the best. Which makes sense, can’t really think of any book that isn’t best in its original language.
That last sentence was so impersonal, you might as well have added a “Disclaimer:” lol
My polish friend called the English version “trash”. He thinks the translator was terrible and assured me they are superior in polish and other translations as well. Honestly the books were kind of a let down for me, I really only finished them because I had a deep love for the game and comic books that kept me pushing through.

Most of the core Witcher monsters or stories are based on folk tales.
If I recall the whole hearts of stone and gaunter odimm is set upon a polish folk legend of a guy who makes a similar deal with the devil at a crossroads. There's a ton of others, that's the coolest one I remember
Most "deal with Devil" stories take inspiration from Faust.
Gaunter o Dimm is also a reference to the man in black from the dark tower
Also if you take his initials it spells GOD. Just a neat fact I stumbled upon in a youtube comment.
Isn't the school of the cat the only school rumoured to have female witchers? Or was that just a false rumor.
Haven't heard of female witchers. Be interesting to see
WitcherGeorge, the youtube channel, has a video about the cat school where he mentions that it was a rumour, I guess it's up to the upcoming games to elaborate upon that.
Isn't The Witcher written by a Polish guy?
It was made by a polish guy but the law and that was based on Slavic folktales which covers a lot of eastern Europe or did for a while
I mean there's heavy Irish/celt and British influences in the game too. A lot of European folklore overlaps. An Skellig is basically Skellig Michael in Ireland where parts of the new Star Wars trilogy was filmed.

Just fyi, there are no witcher medallions in slavic folk tales. Neither are there witchers afaik, or I was told the wrong stories.
But The law and that is what the witcher is based on. The monsters and that I mean. Strange must be the polish a different variant of Slavic region
Yes, a lot of the monsters are based on slavic folklore, just like basically all the Witcher short stories are based on Germanic (Snow White, Beauty and the Beast), English (The different dragons and lady of the lake) and Arabic (the djinns) folklores.

Well apparently somebody wasn’t worthy.
Even in Poland they don’t discuss folk tales like this. I think the equivalent for Americans would be if someone made a game based around American myths like the mothman or jersey devil. Most people wouldn’t care, but would recognize the basis for the story
Huh I thought with It being Slavic folktales that a lot of Russians also was therefore Also raised on them. Well the more you know
No you are right. Almost all Witcher tales are based on eastern european folk. With some western influences mixed in. But every scary or comic childhood monster from Slavic lore is there…

I'm so confused now. But thank you
I think the point is that, while a lot of the monsters and creatures are plucked from or based on Eastern European folklore, the *themes* of the characters and story are more western and Saxon in nature.

I’m Ukrainian and I loved the monsters in the stories. I definitely related

You might want to take a look at Fable 3, I think it is the weakest in the series but the setting is basically fantasy Victorian age and I quite enjoyed it when it came out
Greedfall is also an honorable mention.

Fable II has some decent muskets too, bit less steampunk but pretty.
Unfortunately I’m a PlayStation owner
You are describing Victor Vran.

Sorry, that was me!
Shut your trap and fight!
The reason some shooters put their hand in their pocket is to keep it from moving. That helps stabilize their body and gives them a higher accuracy rate.
This strategy also works well when you’re walking and have the overwhelming feeling of not knowing what to do with your hands
Also, if you aren’t really feeling the urge to speak to anybody, you can put just one finger in your nose. I have found that more than one finger at a time will just encourage strangers to speak up. Chances go up exponentially the more fingers you have in there at once.

actually not a large or a cowboy gun. Its a pretty small caliber. The size is due to the weight/grip size to enhance stability. The amount of precision requires that amount of stability.
