This is why people who have read the books are annoyed with people screeching about it being "unrealistic to the series". They are whining about him only carrying a steel sword because in the games, he carries both at all times. In the books, he keeps silver on Roach since he only needs it on certain occasions.Pretty sure in the books he has the silver sword on the horse? Which makes sense if you think about it.
logically speaking, wouldn't a sharp silver sword also hurt normal humans? just saying he doesn't *need* 2 swords...
Sliver is not as strong as steel. You would have trouble getting through armor with a sliver sword.logically speaking, wouldn't a sharp silver sword also hurt normal humans? just saying he doesn't *need* 2 swords...
Steel does better against armor than silver.logically speaking, wouldn't a sharp silver sword also hurt normal humans? just saying he doesn't *need* 2 swords...

but...what if the undead skeleton is wearing armor?Steel does better against armor than silver.
Then you probably want a steel tipped sword with sliver on the edge.but...what if the undead skeleton is wearing armor?
Then you use Aard and go on about your day.but...what if the undead skeleton is wearing armor?

hehe, this is certainly one of the more positive threads about this that I've read in a while lots of people just seem to be MAD about the choice of Henry Cavil.
lol--that's Superman? I didn't recognize him on the first view of this. ...I dunno, he looks way too young to me. I never read the books (don't care), but I always got the feeling that Geralt was some really old dude, beyond just the white hair. At least, old in the sense of that world. Like, the lady witches are just super old, right? in their 90s or something, but look young and hot because fantasy demands that all old wizard ladies be super hot and horny, and that for other magic reasons, witchers also had unnaturally long lives--all that poison crap they drink--assuming some monster doesn't kill them?
Geralt always seemed to have too much of a reputation and legend about him, to be as young as the superman actor.
Towards the end of the books he is 97, in the Witcher 3 he is closer to 110 or so. Witchers age super slow because of the mutations. Its mentioned some place that Vesemir is over 300.
I think the way Henry looks in the trailer is fine. The books don't describe him as looking old. His hair is white as a result of the second round of mutations, not due to his age.
OK right, I do recall there was some reason that I imagined them all to be old, not just what I expected. Probably some dialogue here and there, and I know the white hair wasn't so much about age as it was witchering....but that was also unique among witchers--in the games, anyway?
....I mean, 97. But I guess if you are aging slower, and you got peeps hitting 300, your 97 maybe looks like my 28? lol.
I'm interested in it and I haven't read any of the books. I have Witcher 3 but played like an hour of it so I can't comment on how "accurate" the series is to anything. But I'm interested to know more, and I think Henry Cavill is good, so looking forward to it.
Also for some reason I get Henry Cavill and Jim Caviezel mixed up in my mind sometimes. Caviezel is a hot piece of man meat, as Borealis7 would say (semi homo).
