“When I created Yennefer’s character I wanted Geralt to fully grow, but then I decided to make things complicated. I created a female character who refuses to be a fantasy stereotype. To please the reader.”

Andrzej Sapkowski (via shinesdifferently)

I meam, this basically happens in Baptism of Fire when Geralt first meets Regis.

Could you please draw a Witcher party where everyone gets super drunk because of Regis' homemade liqueur? :D

Rule: When analyzing or critiquing media, you can not defend a problematic aspect of media by saying that a character CHOSE to do it, and that people are allowed to CHOSE to do things.

Because fictional characters do not have the capacity to make choices. Because they are not REAL people. 

Power Girl and Starfire did not CHOOSE to fight evil in skimpy, revealing outfits. It is not their PERSONAL CHOICE to wear those clothes. They are fictional characters and their wardrobes are under the control of the author and artist.

Dumbledore did not CHOOSE to stay in the closet as a personal and professional choice because that was his right as a person. He is a fictional character. The fact that his sexuality was left at only vague subtext and only revealed through word of god was a deliberate decision made by the author.

Fictional characters are fictional characters. They do not make their own choices.

And also the Cortana stuff?? Like, they couldn't have a game with no references to the previous ones so they unnecessarily had a team of Spartan IIIs take Cortana to the Pillar of Autumn which is so wrong it's painful. And then they tried to justify it later with "Cortana stayed with Halsey in the excavation site and had to be taken back to the Pillar of Autumn" like what the fuck? No. She was IN THE SHIP. Piloting it. For their top secret mission.

While we’re on the subject of Reach…

It has been 6 years and I am still salty about the completely unnecessary changes to the timeline, turning the battle of Reach from the Covenant absolutely steamrolling the planet with all their might in the space of a few hours to a month long series of relatively small skirmishes.

Here’s the dates for each mission:

Winter Contingency: July 24th

ONI Sword Base: July 26th (skip 2 days)

Nightfall: August 11th (skip 16 days)

Tip of the Spear: August 12th

Long Night of Solace: August 14th (skip 2 days)

Exodus: August 23rd (skip 9 days)

New Alexandria: August 23rd to August 26th (skip 3 days)

The Package: August 29th (skip 3 days)

The Pillar of Autumn: August 30th

Lone Wolf: August 30th

What’s the point of turning it into a month long campaign if we only see just over a week’s worth of events?

Some of these time jumps were just downright nonsensical. Why did there have to be SIXTEEN DAYS between the second and third mission? The entire game takes place on one continent, Eposz, so it’s not like they’re having to travel across the galaxy to get from place to place.

Exodus skipping 9 whole days from the end of Long Night of Solace makes no sense either. We’re supposed to believe that Six, after awakening from falling from the Ardent Prayer, just hobbled over to the city of New Alexandria over the course of 9 days without anything going on…

If they’d turned the battle of Reach into a week long event, I could deal with that. It could have had you starting out with small reconnaissance groups of Covenant in the first act of the game as they start setting up shop to gather intel about the planet and the locations of its Forerunner artefacts in order to prepare for the Fleet of Particular Justice’s arrival.

Instead, Bungie contrived that the Covenant somehow managed to cloak a 2900 kilometre long super carrier and multiple corvettes, as well as land a bunch of big-ass transportation spires to a completely open area of desert, when all some soldiers doing training drills would have to do to spot them (as camouflage generates a hell of a lot of heat) is look in its general direction with thermal goggles on. Or, a weather satellite passing over might picked up an anomalous heat signature that looks suspiciously like a big-ass Covenant ship.

We’re supposed to believe that this was deployed to Reach going completely unnoticed for almost a month…

These timeline changes were dumb and added absolutely nothing to what was supposed to be one of the definitive battles of the Human-Covenant war.

Why do all these game developers think I have friends to play their online games with?

While playing the Witcher 3 I always got sad at how every cat I ran across hissed at me and ran away. Now, reading the books, it's detailed how cats negatively react to witchers, and Geralt specifically. I'm not even halfway through the first book, but I can already see why the game got such high reviews from longtime fans. Because it is true to it's source material, and even a seemingly insignificant detail such as that was considered important enough to put in the game.
