You're joking but I feel like that would satisfy EVERYONE's fantasies
Just cast him as all the roles. in everything
He's busy... Doing everything
I would crowdfund the shit out of that.
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
I kind of hoped for a custom character like V
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?
I think that wanting equality over men/women % of MC is not something you would want to focus on I would rather have a quality story and universe whatever of the gender of the MC.
( I will clarify my point , I am an human therefore I am for gender equality obviously but I don't think that this metric is the most interesting )
I completely agree that the quality of the story is kinda the whole point, but I am tired of seeing comments like the one RightHand made; complaining that she is a woman just because she is a woman.
Yep redpills comments are tiring

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.
I imagine we'll get that lore in the game no?

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.

And I'm quick to forget that Witcher 3 had some nasty bugs at launch, too. I was stuck with at that damn giant in the ice cave for like a month before they fixed it.

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.
And from 1 to 2, which was desperately needed.
She looks like a supermodel, what weird gooner take is this.
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.

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

I was hoping for Eskel or Letho to be honest. Ciri is a safe choice but a bit on the boring side. Eskel would have been a lot more multi-layered protagonist and dialogues would have been funnier.
I was praying for Letho even though we all knew it was going to be Ciri (for better or worse, we'll see).
Leaning into the moral grey of the Witcher world with Letho would have been awesome, he says (in one of the endings to his story) he'll head out east over the mountains so we could have gotten some all-new environments and it would have been 100% CDPR IP so they could have done whatever they wanted without trampling over lore too much. Plus Letho is just an amazing character with huge protagonist energy. Oh well.
Same. I was hoping for a totally different story or a different time period entirely. Instead it's just boring Ciri again. Rip.

Looks great... but it uses Unreal Engine 5
Hey maybe then we can get player character shadows that aren't nightmare demons

I can’t wait!!! A little sad the OG Ciri VA didn’t come back tho
Dread it. Run from it. Witcher 4 with playable CIri still arrives.
Honestly after their absolute shit show with cyberpunk I'm more excited to sit back and watch them fuck it up again than for the game. They've lost my respect and their credibility as developers. I will pirate anything from them
They fixed CP2077 and as a matter of fact the game is pretty good, plus they are a European company so we should support them.

They've given Cyberpunk 4 years of support for free since the initial launch, including a full overhaul of the game. I get the state of the launch was dogshit, and you can bet your ass I'm not pre-ordering, but still holding onto this grudge is just petty. How much more sorry do you need them to be?

Yeah it was a rough launch. I just picked it up during the last steam sale and it's fucking amazing now though! I can't put it down!
