I like how it was handled in russian, Yen called Ciri "duckling", because she was thin, gawky teenager. I think that is cute. From polish version I understand, that "brzydulka" translates like "страшнулечка" or "страшненькая". In Slavic languages there is two words describing "ugly' - the one is offensive in russian it is "уродливый", the other is softer version - "страшный". Many Slavic people use it like a tender name for animals of children, especially babies it is not offensive at all.

No. Because the things he said cannot be draw from the game, this is not an impression you get (even if you didn't know about Yen before) at all - it's a pure biased bullsh*t. Yen's motivations, for example, are constantly repeated during the game and in her conversations with Geralt. Just because some people decide to be deaf and blind to certain things, it doesn't mean they're not there.

Sorry, just not my thing, I prefer reading other stuff and playing video games.
One of my friends that never played any witcher game nor read any of the books actually went with Yen exactly BECAUSE how fun she was. The opposite of boring.
That was his reasoning.

What other stuff is there to be read mate :O ?!??
Is it genre-specific? But then you would not play Witcher, it is fantasy too.

I come from the "you don't actually have free will in life" camp, interesting discussion but not in here.
You know, you are almost the prime example of my fears i had before Witcher 3.
While i can't change your opinion with few simple sentences, why don't you check out the very first page of this thread.
I compiled a lot of comments by various people, bookreaders, non-bookreaders and so on. Maybe this will show you another point of view about Yennefer and maybe you will start to understand her motiviations and behaviour much more after that.
Very nice pic, i found some min later and try to post it here as good night gif. But you took my job...again
I really like the profiles - also for Triss... S T A P I T
We have a great opening post by @Kallelinski. If someone can't read or doesn't want to read - it's pointless to spoon-feed the truth about Yennefer.

Specially, because of how confuse is the Yen's introduction. But I'm repeating myself
I think her introduction was pretty fine, nothing odd about it at all.
The problem is that many people want to get through dialogues as fast as possible instead of "digging" into them (just like me). And the consequences of it are presented with Yen, for example. You can ask her about many things, and the more you ask her the more you know. For example during her first conversation with Geralt about Ciri's whereabouts or after the Last Wish quest (nice conversation about The Wild Hunt and amnesia)
Interesting, yes I shared those sentiments as I initially preferred Shani as I remember. Still, Triss stuck with you to the bitter end, you have to respect that. Still dislike Yen no matter how much I try.
It doesn't work when people have any curiosity or interest about it. He's free to think what he wants.
I'm sorry If i get you wrong, but as far as I remember the russian equivalent of word ugly which was used in books is "гадкий", since the russian name of Andersen's fairy tale is "Гадкий утёнок" (The Ugly Duckling).^_^
