The Witcher series streaming on Netflix has been inspired by the collection of short stories and novels written by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. The show running on Netflix has renewed the interest of fans of the Witcher series in the game and original book also. The fans are not able to satisfy their cravings for this unexceptional storyline even though they can indulge in this fantasy by reading the novel through role-playing games and the web series. The fans of the Witcher have experience the role-playing game of The Witcher 3 also along with watching the Netflix series. They all may have experienced some minute differences in both the series and RPG. the game and the show however based on the same novel authored by Andrzej Sapkowski but both have some differences regarding the character of Geralt too and here is the point of difference in the role of Geralt appeared in both mediums which should be noticed by the fans:-
Physical abilities of Geralt
Geralt is very skilled and powerful, and he should face any difficulty in perishing his opponents. Still, the fans might have noticed that in the Netflix series, Geralt found himself struggling even fighting with weak monsters and some human opponents. In another scene, however, it has been seen that he quickly crushed a team of skilled mercenaries. Such scenes often confused the fans about the power and skill of Geralt and left them in a puzzling situation. But, the scenario is quite different in the role-playing game of The Witcher 3 as Geralt appeared very powerful, crushing all his opponents no matter how is strong the opponent is. The slaying of monsters is very much prevalent in the games, irrespective of the television series, to make the game more engaging and enticing. The fans know that Geralt appeared in the game is much more formidable than one appeared in the television series.
Power of Magic
If the fans pay heed towards the magical power possessed and used by Geralt, then they will find that very signs or spells of magic have been used by Geralt in the TV series, which is quite disappointing for the fans. However, on the other hand, the use of magical spells are widespread and frequent in the Witcher 3 game series. Even though Geralt has several magical powers such as Aard, AXII, Quen, Somne, etc. which he can use to kill his opponents and make them frightened but only a very few have been seen in the Netflix series. The Witcher 3’s Geralt is much more potent than Geralt of the Netflix series if the fans will compare as he can use all his magical powers freely and frequently.
Impact of each medium
Each medium has a different influence on the depiction of characters, and the storyline and the makers kept such things in their minds while developing and presenting the story to the people. The demands of fans playing video games are different than the fans watching the television series. It is necessary to show the abilities of characters more compelling and quick in perishing their opponents in Video games to keep the audience engaged and hooked. However, there is no matter of disappointment as Geralt of Netflix series is also going to be appeared as much more powerful and stronger in the coming season. The video games always have more possibilities to punish the enemies and evils, but Geralt of Netflix is equally a capable character able to entice the fans for long.
