Like others have said, in the books he didn't have a beard, which is what this series is based on. As for the no scars, yeah I agree to some extent, would be nice to see him with some scars and his hair roughed up a bit, although maybe we'll be seeing all this happen during the series lol, but other than that I think he looks decent. |
It's not about that he has or doesn't have a beard in the books vs the game. It's that his appearance without it isn't believable to be Geralt. He needs it to cover his chin, if that makes sense. Just not the vibe he should give off IMO. About his hair, it doesn't need to be roughed up, it's just that it looks like a wig. It just looks like a bad mash up of pieces found in the backstage of a play. I like Cavil, and The Witcher, but this is just not good to me. I fear some toned down show with crappy story telling and acting like most of the Netflix superhero shows.
Get the make-up right Netflix! It's so damn important. Just think how gross Eddard Stark would have been in season 1 if he was some clean cut guy. It's just not the character. Cavil without a beard looks off, so if you want him to play the character you need to make him look the part. With a beard preferably because the other option is a prosthetic which is easier to screw up. Cavils look makes sense to be Superman, but not Geralt.
