Thoughts? Kinda disappointed that Ciri is, apparently, the protagonist i thought we were getting a fresh set of characters but oh well.

I honestly didn't think it was ciri at first.

I don't understand why they made her a witcher.

Maybe my eyesight is going but it looks like a cat on her necklace instead of a wolf. So I don't understand that.

I'm gonna be honest. Not very excited for it

yea feels like an insult to the character and her struggle finding her own path.

she having another school necklace does make a bit sense considering the infrastructure of the school of the wolf is basically abandoned after the events of witcher 3 and the remaining members are not particularly interested in continuing it, lambert is even explicitly against it. if she underwent the trial of the glasses (as her eyes show in the trailer), it definitely wouldn't be in the school of the wolf.

edit: apparently the school of the cat is the only one that accepts women and non-humans, they're the inclusive school lol, i can already see chuds will go crazy about this.

But isn't the school of cat full of assasins? That wouldn't really fit Ciri seems like

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Some cat-witchers became assassins, otherwise not much is known about the school.

well that's one of the paths she can find in 3. I know a lot of people like her becoming empress though

Yeah I'm lukewarm on it being Ciri, I was hoping for a fresh start completely outside the realm of the other games' characters and location

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 week ago

same, its not that i want something completely separated from the main cast but just something different, like maybe following letho in his journey of rebuilding the school of the viper would've been more interesting.

The cat school medallion is something she gets during the books, she takes it from an assassin who killed its previous owner.
