Ciri received sword training, but she never got altered by the mutations so she's not truly a Witcher in that sense. I believe there were some concerns that it would impact her hormones in a negative way.

I want to play as Iorveth!

I don't uderstand this fixation on Geralt. Sure, his insignificance in the grand scheme of things gives the storytelling more unique POV, that doesn't mean Ciri's POV as the centre of the overarching plot doesn't work anymore. Her parts in the pentalogy are much more emotional and thrilling than Geralt's. And Mary Sue? Really? She is not exceptionally smart, exceptionally beautiful, she is not even very talented at using magic, she lacks the wit necessary to control every situation, she acts impulsively and without thinking in advance. How this is supposed to be mary sue-ish is beyond me.

 

Depending on how tW3 ends the whole Aen Elle-Tedd Deiréadh plot, Ciri might still remain at least an important political figure and there is potential to build upon that. 'Monster' hunting could stay as a feature since Ciri thinks of herself as a witcher(ess) and shows interest in it.

 

The Witcherverse doesn't need Geralt, just like Mass Effect doesn't need Shepard.

I hope the Witcher games will simply end altogether after Witcher 3 and let CDP focus on new games and stories.

Like Cyberpunk 2077. Curious to see what they can make on their own.

A game centered in the Witcher verse with an original character would be interesting but I'd prefer they move on to Cyberpunk since I'd want that over anything else. Big fan of the genre itself for me to pass it up.

Witcher mutations were designed for men, so they had no idea what they would do to her. Also I believe witchers have a 60% chance of dying during the trial of the grasses so Geralt probably didn't want to risk it

My only problem with the Ciri sequences in Witcher 3 is, that according to the gamestar journalist who played the game for 12 hours, the game while playing her is more like an action-adventure than a rpg. She has absolutely no customization or progression, which confirms the developers statement that she is indeed only used as a narrative tool and not for gameplay. I obviously haven't played the game, but I think 5-10 hours of this could be a bit too much. Especially after the first playthrough. But I'll wait and see if it was a smart choice to make her playable.

We have to play as Ciri for 5-10 hours? Melitele, say it ain't so. I dislike perspective switches even for 5-10 minutes.

 

As for future games, "The Witcher" is Geralt. I'm not sure I'd want to play a random protagonist. It would be a tough sell.

Even without the mutagens, she's an incredible swordsmen. I think apart from Leo Bonhart (A human bounty human who had previously killed Witchers, because he had 3 of their medallions around his neck, and giving his remarkable skill with a blade, was not in question if he killed the previous owners of those medallions) Ciri is quite possibly the best swordsman alive, Non-Witcher status of course. Leo did end up defeating Ciri, and for a while, was treated like a pet. Fortunately she was able to kill him/

^ A fantastic fan drawn piece of one of my favourite moments in the books.

 

As for the chance of Witchers dying during the trials, I'd say its more RNG chance then percentage chance of surviving. And even then, you have to take in account how each person reacts to the Trials.

 

Due to Geralt's remarkable resillience to the "normal trials", he was put through harsher and experimental ones as well, hence his superior abilities and White Hair.

 

But even then, I remember an encounter from one of the books where Geralt was facing of against a Mage who was able to move a lot more quicker then Geralt thought possible, which led to Geralt's left leg (Or was it right?) being shattered, which is where he got his limp from.

 

It surprises me just how much I have missed Geralt lol. I love this idea that for an RPG like game, not every player-character has to be a clean slate that we detail ourselves, but can already be placed in the world, as long as the developers feel that the player-character hits home. And with Geralt, he's definitely hit home. Perhaps his amnesia like state helped as well, giving us the chance to make our own foothold in the world.

Have to agree with people that CDPR moving away from the Witcher formula would be appreciated, and to see what they can cook up with other genres. Cyberpunk 2077 has me curios, though considering my limited knowledge on the series, I'm saving my impressions till I see something more substantial.

 

I wouldn't mind them delving into the Witcher again in the future, but as much as I love Geralt, I wouldn't want to play as him again. We've already explored the world through his eyes in three games, and for me personally that is enough. Whether it is in the eyes of Ciri, or just a complete new character (one that you can create yourself) would be more appreciated.

This.

 

Even if the finale of TW3 leaves Ciri in a position where she wouldn't make a good protagonist in a sequel, I think there is still plenty of room for CD Projekt Red to craft a game in the Witcherverse with a protagonist not named Geralt. They could always go with an original character they create as the protagonist. In many ways that would even free the writers to do their own thing, as they wouldn't have to be as concerned about book canon. They could always have a new Witcher who was trained by Geralt, or by some other member of the school of the Wolf.

[TheChosenOne]

As much as I love the witcher series, I wouldn't want CDPR to do a another if they feel there is no need to. Also, there a game that I have always wanted to play again since it's announcement...

CYBERPPUNK 2077!!!!

Translation from Polish. For those that don't know, cdp.pl is a digital shop run by CDProjekt in Poland and the only retailer with TW3 CEs.

 

Q: Dear cdp.pl, will there be a digital game key inside of the Collector's Edition? GOG.com or something like that?

A: Yes, there will be a key for GOG.com

 

Sweeeeeeeet. I imagine it will be the same for all of you folks no matter where you buy your PC CE.

The world of The Witcher only works with Geralt, because if you read the stories, you know that large parts of them only work because we have the Geralt worldview, because he is a Witcher and everything. The racism that people have against him, the political vision that he has, the idea of ​​accepting be a monster hunter, it's all there, if you have not Geralt, we will not have that. The fantasy world is never the main it's always the characters and in the case of the witcher that there is little information in the regions and appears only what matters to Geralt. Povis, Sapkowski leaves the impression that there was a communist revolution there, but that's it, no more nothing about. That does not mean it can not be operated by the CD, of course.

Is very likely that Ciri will leave again, after all she hinted that fell for a knight.

Force this story would have to put other issues no longer used due to the new protagonist of the game and I like the themes he has now.

For me will escape the book mythology and if is to run away from it, they should not have even made ​​the game, it was easier to just get some elements and make another fantasy.

However I think that the comparison of Mass Effect with The Witcher is not good, since The Witcher had a world created and Mass Effect was created for the game and is much larger and in more detail. (lore terms)

Nice. I might give that key away on Tumblr or something, or throw it in here. I double dipped and got the Collector's Edition + digital copy on Steam so I can pre-load.

 

I did the same with Inquisition. Brought the CE, and the digital deluxe on Origin to pre-load. The product key can still be redeemed I think lol.

 

 

I'm not going to lie, I was waiting for a horrific bass to drop lol.

Something to say about the combat?

out of a canon, into the sun

 

Y'know, on this forum I'm used to seeing people refer to canon as "cannon" but the opposite? This is a first.
