And Ciri is the most powerful character in the game. If this is like the other games, there's a romance angle here, and while I don't really care about playing a one off character as a female lesbian in Fallout or Starfield (agree with Chazno), this would be different because Ciri is an established character and playing her as a lesbian would just be.... off. Sort of like the odious series turning Dandelion bi was very off.

I'm sure as hell not romancing a dude to move a major storyline along.

LMAO Well, got bad news for you then. Ciri is notoriously horny in the books. Like, weirdly so.

I've never read the books. I remember there was a dialogue option when she was in the sauna in Skellige saying she preferred women, but it never played out in the game itself.

Oh well. I can certainly think of worse things than a Ciri lesbo-romance. But again, there will never come a time when I whisper sweet nothings in Eskel's ear. :D

Oh no, it ain't lesbian.

Frazod 12-16-2024 02:19 PM

Oh boy. I'm torn between asking and not wanting to know, but my twisted mind is already envisioning her getting tagteamed by a couple of werewolves. LMAO

IIRC she was seriously contemplating suicide because she was super horny for some warrior in his 30s that already had a wife and kids. She was a preteen.

There's some shit that's not making it into the games!

Books are goofy as **** to be fair. Outside of a few storylines that got botched in development I think Witcher 3 was far better at portraying those characters. Probably why the author is constantly ass hurt.

I hope the game has a decent scissoring mechanic. LOL

So...this is the new "game", not the Netflix show...OK. I'm not a gamer, like at all, but I do like the show.

I'll keep waiting for that.

You should play the games and dump the series. The show got so bad that Cavill quit.

w3 was the best gaming experience i ever had so i will give w4 a shot even with the braindead decision to make ciri the protagonist.

The author is ass hurt because he's a fool that took a one time payment over royalties or percentage of merchandise. He either had such little faith in his work, or such little faith in CDPR he demanded a one time lump sum, only to see them turn Witcher 2 and 3 into a couple of the greatest adventure games ever made, and Witcher 3 is arguably the best game of its genre ever made.

Sapkjowski would be swimming in money if he wasn't a complete moron.


As for Ciri being the main, I can see both sides. Geralt is cool as **** and another Geralt adventure on next gen hardware, well, who wouldn't be pumped for that?

But the way that 3 ended in Blood and Wine, Geralt has it made. He's flush with coin, he has an entire vineyard at Corvo Bianco, complete with whichever companion you chose for him to end up with.

I think Ciri looked pretty badass in the trailer, she's not a kid anymore, she's older and more experienced.

As long as she can do all the signs, use the potions and stuff, and the gameplay is familiar to what I had in 3, improving where possible, it doesn't really matter to me which Witcher I'm playing as.

CDPR has a knack for telling great stories, and as long as they actually finish the ****ing game before they release it, I'm all in on this game.

Yeah, I really hope whoever needed to learn their lesson learned it after the Cyberpunk fiasco.
