How could anyone hate Ciri :c

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I can't understand hating Ciri as a chracter, but I can understand being kind of a disappointed not having Geralt as a playable character.

If you consider it as an isolated game it doesn't matter, but when you play three games as one character and then suddenly switch to another character it can feel kind of melancholic, in absence of a better word. Especially since now there's a non-zero chance that they'll kill Geralt in the new game.

But anyway, Ciri was an interesting character and those parts in Witcher 3 where you played as her were great.

Its not that sudden, Ciri was playable in Witcher 3 at times and the ending that has to be canon for her to be the W4 Protag leaves Geralt alive and old, and if you count B&W the owner of a vineyard where he can chill with his girl of choice, so they don't even need to kill him off

"He's old and hangs out in Toussaint now, he sends Ciri letters" would be easy to do

Well obviously Geralt survives in the end of witcher 3 and most likely will be alive in 4, but what I meant is that they might kill him in the new game like they did with Vesemir in Witcher 3. They don't need to, and I hope they don't, but it would be kind of an easy plot device so there's a chance. But at this point it's just speculation anyway.

My main point was more in line that some people just don't like change and that would be enough to make them oppose Ciri as the main character.

Witcher 3 had multiple endings, and he dies in one of them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I heard somewhere that I think CDPR said even that ending there is a way Garalt could still survive. I don't remember what the ending is, but also it doesn't really matter because they can do what they want with him.

It's not sudden at all. In fact there's no way you can be a fan of these games and not have seen this coming. It was the very obvious Next Step.

Geralt got his ending in The Witcher 3. I would much rather play as Ciri.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Someone that did not read the books. There are multiple points where the story shifts to Ciri. In a similar way Ragnarok shifts to Atreaus.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Witcher 3 literally has you play as her on multiple occasions, too

I haven't even finished it before and I can think of at least 2

So it'd be someone who's never read the books and has never played 3 (she isn't mentioned in 1 or 2)
