Can’t wait to see the Netflix adaptation again with Henry Cavill as Ciri.
I hope she knows how to play Gwent.
I liked gwent. Tried the app, didn’t understand wtf was happening, deleted it.
As if anyone expected to play as any other character than Ciri.
I hoped for a witcher (whichever gender) from one of the other schools, tbh
So did I, but I mean, given the current game development climate, Ciri was an extremely predictable pick.
Not only is Ciri a woman, which modern games seem to be making super majority of main protagonists these days, but she also has market familiarity. Her character is recognizable and therefore has a builtin audience, where a new character does not.
If women make up around 50% of the people on earth, shouldn’t they make up around 50% of the main characters?
Besides, they’ve already established some of her signature abilities and had people play as her in some of the previous game, kicking the familiarity up an extra notch.
I did. The games already completely shit on the ciri book lore. I was hoping for a fresh slate with new characters, perhaps during a different time period entirely.
In my opinion it doesn’t make all that much sense because of major Witcher 3 spoilers.
WITCHER 3 SPOILER BELOW
Spoiler
How so? One of the endings literally has geralt gift a witcher sword to Ciri. The only thing I’m confused about is how she now seems to have the witcher mutations
Witcher books spoiler
One of the early Witcher books mentioned that Ciri was given some witcher drugs while she was training at Kaer Morhen, but didn’t undergo the trial of the grasses at Triss’ request.
It makes perfect sense with two of the three endings, and could even work with the third depending on how much CDPR wants to explain the cosmology behind the white frost.
Nah. Cat eyes and witcher potions don’t. They have some explaining to do.
It’s almost definitely a break with the series in that you likely won’t be able to import your save file, which always was a core feature of the series. There are also other lore details that don’t add up here, which have already been explained. There could’ve been many ways to progress the story but I don’t see how that is possible here. It’s most likely a soft reboot.
Super hyped, I’ve wanted a sequel with Ciri since finishing 3.
Please don’t Cyberpunk this up, CDPR…
They will cyberpunk this, because they also witchered Cyberpunk. As in “delivered less than promised and then mostly fixed it with patches”.
Yep, it’s their business model. People were pissed about Cyberpunk because they’d only played Witcher 3 after it was complete.
I’d argue each CDPR game improves on the one before including cyberpunk, but since it was a new franchise and perspective it was like creating witcher 1 all over again except… The combat offered more choice that the witcher games, better 3d level design, pretty solid endings (better than deus ex, and mass effect).
As with The Witcher 3, which is now regarded as one of the best games of all time.
I’ll bite. Patched 2077 is better than making devided in almost all aspects, although both are worth it.
I play the deus ex games over and over and cyberpunk surpases them IMO.
DE does less with more, but 77 offers better combat, exploration, and better relationships. The stuff with megan reed in the first was ineffective, but the characters you meet in 77 jackie, panam, judy hit much more. you not only explore more characters, but yourself more than jenson ever does.

if you watch this small clip you’ll notice how deus ex rarely allows you to enter/exit important buildings via glass windows. in 77, while your cannot enter your apartments that way you can for many gig locations, but you might need the augs, or tech expertise to open a sliding window.
adding mods on PC that add hardcore, realistic hunger and sleep, vr and this clears the modern deus ex games. I do want Adam’s story resolved though
Is it just me or is her face a bit weird? Like too much jaw?
I’d love to play the game as Ciri though, hope they make up a good story, it felt the Wild Hunt was her story, IDK what can top that.
Might be a character redesign. Geralt definitely got that treatment from 2 to 3.
I agree.
As someone else pointed out, Geralt looked quite different in the game vs the first cinematic launch trailer.

So who knows, time will tell. Also keep in mind it’s a new engine
Her face looks longer to me. I assume they’re trying to make her look more like a real person.
Problem is (well, not really, but still), she already looked like a real person. Personally know people who look a lot like Ciri, it’s not the most uncommon look in Slavic countries.
It may be just the trailer. In some scenes, she looks like herself from the 3rd game, just aged, but in most, she looks a bit… weird. It’s really hard to tell what’s going on because when you try to compare the models, they do match up.
I was not commenting on her attractiveness, just that the defining character features seem to be different. She doesn’t look “older” or less attractive to me from Wild Hunt, just a different person.
It’s not as bad as when they dropped the voice actor for Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell though.
You’re the one taking it to gooner/sexist territory, us fans of the series know the characters and when the overall face-shape changes but keeps defining features like the scar on her cheek, it’s a little unexpected and strange at first.
