she has zero interaction with Geralt until the very very last bit, and is mostly running away the rest of the season. Looks so, I heard something about her assing around forests (none of which being Brokilon for some reason) all the time and doing hardly anything else. XD Of the descriptions I've met it seems like they wanted to introduce everyone immediately, but didn't realize they lose the all rather important buildup this way. I've read quotes from some interview that indicated the show team assumed they don't need to present characters "everyone knows and loves" and as a result: 1. old fans are pissed, 2. new fans are confused or at best didn't notice there were some relations they were supposed to care for. Which raises the question, who is this show for after all? :'D Besides creators of fan-content, of course. Any fanwriter worth of their kudos doesn't need more than BadManneredBeeftman & ManicPixieDreamBard to make content for showrunners. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without fanwriters in MCU... Probably wouldn't stay in it for more than five minutes, in the first place.
Although admittedly it's harder to discern when his vocabulary is 90% "Hm." and "Fuck." :) Yeah, it's being memeized so hard I noticed even before taking a look into fan forums. Where, in turn, people mostly complain he got dumbed down. Reading them I feel simultaneously like "yeah, I kind of see your point, people, with all those quotes you bring" but "thankfully, not my circus, not my monkeys anymore". All the rants I don't care to write now, it's great to have so much time saved.

One of them IS Broklion, but the thing that happens there is completely unlike the canon story, so I'm honestly not sure why they bothered including it at all.

LOL! That has been a very enjoyable and fruitful dynamic :D

Mmm... It's definitely a character change, but I don't know that it necessarily means dumbing down. I mean, you don't get to see Geralt's philosophizing, but I don't miss it, and being taciturn in itself does not make someone dumb. What makes him seem dumb is invoking the Law of Surprise as a joke, but we've already talked about that part of it.
