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

i like the idea of being able to play a lady instead of Gruff Autistic Himbo Man but this sucks. ciri isn't a witcher, that trailer felt like it was trying to punch at the weight of the witcher 3 trailers but never quite hits

ugh

I mean she can be at the end of 3 already, and apparently she's done the trial of the grasses since she's been to the potion seller in this trailer

i'm aware, it's a favored ending of mine, i just think it's a bad change/lore advancement, because Ciri is way more interesting than a witcher in terms of potential and kit

a worldhopping battle wizard feels more like what they should be doing if they're gonna do Ciri

It's definitely weird for Ciri to be chugging mutagenic poison instead of teleporting around doing Ciri things, to the point that when watching it I questioned if it's even supposed to be Ciri instead of some new/generic female witcher who just looks sort of like Ciri. Especially in the context of all the speculation that they'd make the protagonist a customizable character like V from Cyberpunk 2077.

Customizable protags would be rad.

Yeah I just think they shouldn't have done Citi in the first place. Her elder blood powers were cool but also probably way too OP to be used by the player unless they want the game to have a completely different tone
