Nobody has said anything about a 1:1 adaptation, and these things can have a sliding scale. It is possible to keep certain elements while rearranging and editing a story for different mediums. You do understand it is people who write these things, yeah? Theyre not like, handed down from on high and then filmed. Also: The Last of Us.

I mean yeah, that’s what I’m saying - a good adaptation, changing things to fit the medium, rearranging to tell the story better etc., that’s all good.
What Witcher did is they took the rough skeleton of the overall story and practically build original story on thay skeleton. Especially season 2 has almost nothing in common with the book they were adapting. The story started and ended in roughly the same spot, everything in between was made up.
Also I feel whatever they rearranged was for the worse and made the story make less impactful.

The difference is the games are an original story, that builds on the skeleton the books provided. This is what it was from the get go. It used the same characters and lore and built on what the books did.
The TV show is supposed to be adaptation of the story that is, and bringing it to different medium. But they decided to take the rough outline of the story and make a original story around it, while calling it an adaptation.

They did so with Nightmare of the Wolf and I liked that one (despite it also taking major liberties with established lore).

Not sure what you meant by this.
Huh… Just like revered games did… funny how it’s fine there, but not on the show.

The games are fun though. That is not true of the show.
Ah, sorry I misread. Seems we agree. Apologies.
No worries :)
