she never goes through the trials. Lambert was the last one decades ago, and the means to do the trials have been destroyed and no schools are making witchers.

she has elven blood which is why she’s the main focal point of the books. The whole point of Witcher 3 is her stopping the white frost with her powers as she’s by the the most powerful living being. She wants to live like a Witcher because of her upbringing, love for geralt and his crew and her wanting a life that is not being queen.

this is literally the entire point of Witcher 3, is confirmed in not just the canon ending to the main game but also the ending of blood and wine.

god this is the most pathetic display of the boomer brain rot that has ruined all of your faggot minds. God you all need to pull your heads out of your asses for thinking this is some DEI woke shit. This is actually the first game with a shift to a female lead that actually makes sense and is accurate.

also, you fucking slick brain gags should go look at the first cinematic trailer for all 3 Witcher games to see how Geralt looked ugly as shit and how the trailers never feature the actual game character models. Go compare Yennifer in all the trailers for 3 and game models.

I am only slightly concerned because CDPR has had some minor woke stuff in their latest games and this was developed during the last 5 years of super wokeness in these large studios. Having said that, it's like none of them played the Witcher 3 at all.

Ciri is the focal point of the story, Geralt teaches her to be a Witcher, and the Blood and Wine expansion literally has you acquiring and operating an estate and Geralt retiring there at the end. Oh, and the true ending has Ciri staying with you. As for Ciri being ugly in the trailer..... she was never portrayed as super pretty or anything, and it looks like we are a decade or more on from the end of 3 so I don't see why it is a problem. They have been saying since right after Blood and Wine that Ciri would be the protagonist of the next trilogy.

And here is one for the "no tits" complainers. It's not like she had any to begin with.

It’s been forever since I read the books but she’s portrayed as a tomboy throughout IIRC. He grandma was a manly woman and so is she. Grew up hating dresses and shit. All seems par for the course.

A few of you have mentioned CDPR being woke lately, besides photos of their team having tons of women, what else has there been? Genuinely don’t remember them pushing anything in cyberpunk other than choosing 1 or 2 for genitials and not picking a man or woman. The game had tons of issues at launch but I don’t remember it being a woke fest just a buggy pile of shit

Did you nerds even play the Witcher games lmao. Ciri was always the hero, Geralt was just the begrudging father figure.

I dont want to play Ciri

I want to play Geralt

i used to have faith in CDPR but cyberpunk ruined all that. i know they shaped up eventually but i'll wait till the common word on the internet street is that witcher 4 is good/fixed/done before i buy. they lost their day-1 status. I'll prolly get it a year after release or so.

the list of pre-order/day one purchase studios grows ever smaller.

Are you saying European history isn't loaded with legends of strong female swordswomen?

I love that the demarcation line is with the sword fighting and not the interdimensional time traveling teleportation

I dont like playing games a female character. There is nothing wrong with that. Just say it. Stop hiding behind "the elden blood elf queen shouldnt be able to sword fight monsters".

She's still pretty cute in W3 and given the trend of Western game studios deliberately making female protagonists ugly it's completely logical for people to assume that it's happening again here.

I wonder if they will fix the shitty controls and janky combat. That's pretty much why I never played the game past the Red Baron

IGN can confirm that Geralt is indeed in The Witcher 4, and that is indeed the voice of veteran Geralt voice actor Doug Cockle. Confirmation comes from CD Projekt itself, which told IGN: "Geralt will appear in the game, but we don’t want to spoil his role precisely. You’ll have to wait to learn more for now."



the blood & wine DLC basically had Geralt retiring to a quiet life as well

the combat did get a revamp post release, like 6-8 months later but its still not amazing. I played on PC but with controller all the way through and found it good enough, comparable to GTA or Red Dead i guess. Nowhere near as good as Arkham, Dark Souls, etc.

Cyberpunk was a different type of game for them and I’m sure they learned from mistakes. But quite honestly if you had a good PC, or a series X or PS5 the game played fine. I played it on PS5.

As for the Witcher 4, if you are a fan of the series we all knew it was going this direction. Nothing looked woke in the trailer, looks like a solid monster hunting side mission, pretty great music there and good solid voices. As long as we don’t see SB Inc attached I don’t think we will see a ton of woke shit.

I’m fine playing a female lead as long as it is written well. IE: Beyond Good and Evil or Nier. We all hate woke shit and that’s good. But as of this trailer I’m not seeing it here.

It does look good, but I am curious how they will explain how she did the trial..

Maybe she travels back to Aen Elle and does it there? The whole trial is designed by the Elves, and we see a small part of it in Witcher 3.. Or they take the cheap way and go, "Time Travel" *eye roll*.

This is the correct take. I don’t get how anyone whos played this series thought it was going in any other direction. It’s exactly where the writing has lead to for years prior to this. This isn’t woke, it’s the next step in the story they’ve been writing for years.
