As you can see. They just couldn't resist... Instead of writing new character, they had to change existing.Wait, Fringilla is black?

All true. I didn't know they could lock their twitter. Don't know why I hear about people deleting the whole thing if they can do that.
What the **** man?
They couldn't just make the Zerrikanian bodyguards black or something? They have to make unnecessary and pointless race changes? Watch Triss also be a POC.
Oh I know. But just in general. Triss is the overtly "younger" one, where as Yen comes off more like she is in her late 20s, early 30s.
Well technically, Yennefer is a POC in the show.
Yeah I'm not thrilled about it either but at least it can be explained that Vengerberg might have a population that is Greek/Roman looking.
But having someone so closely related to Emhyr, father of Ciri, be so completely different? Stupid.
They won't be revealing the entire cast right away, I believe. Pretty sure Dandelion will be in this, because why the f not?

I'm not crazy about it either, but considering they sort of went the right way with the central characters of Geralt and Ciri, I'm not going to complain too much about it. I imagine the show either won't address it or will basically lampshade it, or they will change Fringilla's relations.
While I agree my entire problem with race changing Fringilla is...WHY? What purpose does it serve other than to piss off die hard fans, which will be the foundation this show will rely on?
I'm not going to try and surmise why they opted for the change, other than I imagine the producers felt they needed a more diverse cast for this show for some characters, hence the casting for Yennefer and Fringilla.
I don't understand some of the hate for unknown actors. I mean, how many of you bald bastash were aware of them GoT cast? Sean ''I Die in Every Movie'' Bean does not count.
I knew quite a few of the GoT cast actually. But the GoT situation was never an issue, because they did seem to cast them as a described in the books, just some of them were older. Something GRRM admitted he should of done considering the stories.I don't understand some of the hate for unknown actors. I mean, how many of you bald bastash were aware of them GoT cast?

Yen actress is technically poc too, but at least they can keep the original appearance.
Also, after seeing the actress perform, I think she doesn't look too young. She can probably put on a mean face.
Well, CDPR kept the essence of her looks. Pale skin, raven hair, black and white outfit, mean attitude. Yet delivered a very good look that stood on it's own. Earlier design of Yen actually was really close to the book description, but then they decided to make her face look more mean and remade it late in development. For good. I only read complaints about Yen is that she's less likeable in the game, in comparison to the book. Which is rather fair. When I played the game for the first time I wasn't prepared (didn't read the books prior to games). I just kept thinking "what the hell is your problem, woman?". But she won me over as the game progressed.And did people revolt against the game for not being accurate to the books?
