Because they started building that up in The Witcher 3 nine years ago ?
Short sections where you play as a teenage white girl = not politics Entire game playing as white woman = politics
The only answer they should have to provide is “because we wanted to and anyone who has a problem with that can go fuck themselves.”
I like that they call out how layered she is. I really loved her in the books and I’m excited to see how they capture that in the game.
I’m glad for that move. By the end of Witcher 3 I was supremely fed up with Geralt’s whole shtick. I couldn’t take anymore of that giant hunk of boring constantly tripping over thirsty sexy single witches near his location. The so called “dating sim” part was nothing more than basic fan service. I’m liking Ciri’s “I’m done” energy in the trailer.
