Quest was good, but putting a rejecting scene there and trying to act like it was all the wishes fault? Yeah...no. It's insulting to the source material and plain lazy.
So what did you want Yen to be forced even more on the players?

While any of the above interpretations may be correct since it's so vague, it is my understanding that CD Projekt Red actually asked Mr. Sapkowski if Geralt is truly dead when they were pitching their very first Witcher game, and it turned out that he wasn't.

Come on, he would never tell them. Actually if he did, he would have to consider the games canon, which he doesn't ( Sapkowski said it multiple times - that while he enjoys those games very much, it's not a continuation of his stories but a pure fanfiction on gamemakers' part)
I think he actually don't like games at all, just not his thing. Also he stated many time - the witcher story is ended, there can't be continuations. So if you're purist - everything in the games pure fanfiction, but since the author himself don't want to write continuation I accept games stories as maybe not lawful, but spiritual continuation.Sapkowski said it multiple times - that while he enjoys those games very much, it's not a continuation of his stories but a pure fanfiction on gamemakers' part
CDP could have did it without making the wish look like the cause of it all and had developed this further?So what did you want Yen to be forced even more on the players?

If CDP didn't change certain things then yes it would be a continuation, but they HAVE changed things.It's not an adaptation in a sense that it's a CONTINUATION - because events take place after and not during the books. So it's the relation - in the games books are canon (because everything that happened there is valid for the games) but games are not valid when it comes to the Witcher Saga. Sapkowski can't tie himself to whatever gamemakers come up with.
I dunno, maybe they are dead but what's this about than? - http://puu.sh/i8E93/90ae6ac656.pngOr maybe it wasn't, and Mr. Sapkowski was like "Sure, he's alive, if you say go, go for it, it's still fan fiction".

Because trying to antagonize the wish IS insulting to the books and competently shits on everything they went through.

Birds, sand, rosemary flowers and apples and they don't look like a ghosts.

Another thought: at the end of Book 2, when Ciri and Ihuarraquax (still a folly) were in the desert and Ciri saved them with her magic, while the Unicorn couldn't help itself, and in the end it was the other way around. The Unicorns magic helped Ciri where she was helpless, just like she says to Yen that there is nothing more pathetic than a sorceress in tears - which was the same thing Yennefer said to Ciri somewhere in the beginning.You have a point, and while I conceed it's a nice idea, I've learned over time that when it comes to literary analysis, the literal approach is always the right one unless the alternate explanation is better supported.
Ok this I can understand
Maybe they were just pissed that the writer of the books doesn't think of their games anything more than fanfiction
lol
We just wanted a different reason for the break up.Why can't Geralt just tell her,that he's in love with Triss?I think this explanation vould've satisfied everyone.
Why wouid they be pissed about it?They said themselves,that the games are non-canon.
