!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Their game but not their universe. Consistency needs to exist.

The two were always inconsistent. It's not the same universe. They're two separate but related universes. CDPR takes pieces of the books to make the games that they want to make, and change pieces that don't work. This has been the case since The Witcher 1. They are not consistent with each other, never have been, and never will be.

This is true for most series inspired by books. For example, the current Dune cinematic universe is inconsistent with the books. That's fine. Sure, us book fans complain that the books were better, but we don't complain that they can't diverge and be their own thing. They must or they'd be bad adaptations because they're different mediums.
