By Wild Hunt being a travesty, I meant the whole game, not Eredin's cavalry, the Red Riders. But they also fucked up the Aen Elle and Eredin pretty bad. Why?

In Wild Hunt, CR Projekt Red turned Eredin into an idiot, a mustache twirling villain who should be in a Saturday morning carton, not in a story like the Witcher. Why would he approach Ciri after she unleashes her Source powers at Kaer Morhen, even knowing what he knows? Why would he stop to fight Geralt on the ship instead of pursuing Avallac'h and Ciri?

The books portrayed Eredin as cold, intelligent and charming leader. Hell, even the first two games, sort of. In the third game? He’s just a fucking idiot.

But that’s not all. The goal of the Aen Seidhe was to open Ard Gaeth, so all could walk between worlds easily, not just the sages who had the knowledge necessary for it by getting Ciri pregnant and using her child, who would somebody much, much more powerful than Ciri. And with that, they would save the Aen Seidhe by bringing them back to their world, since their world and only their world would be destroyed by the White Frost.

In the games, Eredin apparently wants to conquer the human world because who the fuck knows, the White Frost is a threat to all the worlds, some mystical thing, instead of a product of climate change, and Ciri is the important and monstrously powerful one person, instead of the child she could bear.

In the books, it’s pretty clear that Geralt and Yennefer die in the Rivia photogram, and the scene in which they wake up is nothing more than an addendum “written” by Ciri when she tells the story to Galahad, by the way she acts.

In the games… Well, you know that already. Both are alive.

In the books, Emhyr changes significantly upon meeting his daughter, decides to let her go and marries the False Ciri. In the games, False Ciri is gone, and he, for no reason, his willing to use her again for his own purposes. And don’t tell me wanting her to inherit the crown is not using her. Come on.

I could go on, saying that the Nimue gets turned into a nymph or whatever for absolutely no reason and other stuff, but these are the most important, lore breaking, fan-fiction like details.

I could write about the failings of the writing in Witcher 3, without taking the books into consideration, just it and the other games, but well…  If you answer back and want to take the discussion in that direction, I will.

P.S Sorry for taking so long to replay, I didn’t see your message until now, and sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes I’ve committed. English is not my first language. I hope it is understandable, anyway.
