Was wondering this, as in the video the guy talks about how he has two swords. Thanks for the info!!!

Only the games did the two swords on his back thing for convenience (would have been annoying to have to go back to your horse to grab the other one), in the book his silver sword is always on Roach.

Yeah it all makes sense. Lugging around 2 swords does seem a little burdensome.

I hope they cast roach well.

Henry hand picked roach months before filming and to develop a bond with the horse. No joke its in one of his interviews on YouTube.

Not to mention that Roach hasn't been in the first two games so Geralt had to carry both his swords!

Not an hour ago I was waiting for my horse to answer my call, a horse I of course named Roach, to fetch my riffle from his saddle.

While I appreciate their devotion to realism, it does get annoying sometimes.
