Netflix’s The Witcher season one did a lot of things right but one of the features that the company got absolutely wrong was that awful-looking Nilfgaardian armor. Luckily, season two offers a second chance and the latest season two set picture shows off a much-improved armor for this particular army.
The original armor in season one was awful and was often likened to some NSFW comparisons, but more than that a lot of The Witcher fans were used to see the armor represented in CD Projekt RED’s game adaptation. The show is based on the books, the books that inspired the game series, which means that some creative differences were to be expected. This creative difference, however, was pretty universally hated. Luckily, the new armor looks amazing:
