They pretty explicitly make it sound like she underwent Witcher mutations in the meantime. How that happens, I have no idea, maybe it'll be a plot point in the game? If they hand-wave it away I'll be disappointed

    Yeah I was also wondering as soon as I saw her cat-like eyes.. Thought it's not possible anymore but let's see. Hopefully they'll explain it

    Wasn't one of the endings of Witcher 3 that Ciri goes through the trial of the grasses and becomes a witcher? Seems pretty damn possible to me.

    I can't remember but I thought that for the Witcher ending I had she didnt go through the trials. I mean one reason is iirc that there is noone knowing how to do it.

    What's a couple decades with a dying witcher school, the world's most powerful sorceresses and the ability to teleport to the dimension where magic was birthed?

    I'm pretty sure Yenn or Triss mention how trivial it would be for them to figure out the potions and transmutations required to make the trials happen but the Witchers are very, very against an outsider touching it all. The original plans were made by a sorceress in any case.

    I'm sure they'll have a perfectly reasonable way of explaining how she went through the trials.

    I'm not very deep into the lore but aren't there other Witcher schools that might not necessarily see the transformation the same way the wolf school came to see it?

    Yeah, totally. As far as game lore goes I don't see why they can't change that. As far as we can see all of the schools had widely varied ideologies. What is good, what is evil, contract killing and more. I see no reason in established lore that another school couldn't have had female witchers or why the Lodge wouldn't want to get their hands on the recipes to revive the witcher schools.

    I think this is from the movie Thank You For Smoking. I think about it all the time. They were discussing having a paid advertisement of an astronaut smoking in a space station. One character points out it wouldn't work because of the pure oxygen environment being explosive. The other character responds "We'll just say 'oh thank God we invented the whatever device!'" It's sort of become an in joke with my wife about rough edges of plots in sequels.

    I haven't played any of the games, so I don't really know why they couldn't.
