#update: just watched episode 2. old witcher is not thornwald

[oh2e]

It annoyed me the first time round but I enjoy how episode one of Wiedźmin focuses on Geralt as a young boy becoming a Witcher. It really helps set the scene and show us the kind of person he is.

That being said, they literally leave an 11 year old in the woods for a month with nothing but a lit fire, a bow with five arrows, some herbs and a small knife. Geralt then gets adopted by a wolf he heals and in turn adopts a little girl whose family is murdered. I love this boy. The mentor witcher arrives fully expecting to find little Geralt’s corpse but instead is threatened by his pet wolf who wants Geralt to stay.
