PDTHelp me out with timezones here, what is 01:00p in GMT+1 ?
Don't trust Amazon in this case, it's a place holder and it's not the first time they do this. >_>February 28?
February 28?
A promotional poster has been leaked !
Ciriously, give me a Ciri reveal trailer and I'll stop.
I promise.
More nostalgia from 2004. The ending brings a tear...
"www.thewitcher.com Opening on 28th of May"
Why would anyone want something like that 'Spoiled' in a trailer!?
...no, but ciriously:
I am excited to know how CDPR envisioned Ciri, how they chose to portray her, which voice actor they decided for etc.
Basically I want an official CDPR version of Ciri, so we can use that as canon for fanart and other fanmade projects.
If you look at Ciri fanart (which of course everyone does), you'll notice how her scar always is going in different directions,
how people fight over the proper color of her hair, how there is basically no consensus on that.
I don't want the scenes of the game spoiled to me of course, just a confirmation of her being
in the game and a preview of what kind of Ciri we can expect from CDPR.
Did that answer your question ?

From the sounds of it. When you guys finally see the official CDPR version of Ciri, it may instead open up the floodgates to people complaining that they dropped the ball because it doesn't fit in with how they specifically envision her. It might be best to adjust your expectations to just about anything.
Sure,that answered it. I still do not think it wise to show her or Yennefer before the game releases. It is a slippery slop I admit. I remember fans complaining about Geralt's face and then CDPR changed it. The problem is where does "entitlement" and personal expectation stop and CPRD having the creative liberty to design as they see fit? I am not referring to you,I am talking in general.
I bring that point up solely on the grounds of if say,Ciri or Yenn were to be shown before release,I wonder just how many people would be moaning for this change and that change. This ultimately could be a good thing or a complete nightmare. The main issue that comes to mind is that to a degree,it is all subjective.
Reading descriptions of how a particular character looks,surely not everyone will come to the exact same image in their mind as another person will.Fine line that is walked and the ice is thin,slippery slope. I can only imagine how hard this all must be for CDPRD.
I completely agree.
Whether I like CDPR's version of Ciri or not, I'll respect it and take it as canon.
I agree, what you say makes perfect sense.
Personally, I see the spoiler issue a bit differently:
To me an audiovisual "spoiler" wouldn't tell me what Ciri's role or fate in the game is,
that of course is something I'd like to learn myself while playing it.
But I can also understand where you are coming from and your opinion is completely valid,
I just have a different one and it's fine that way.
We don't all need to have the same opinion, we just need to get along.
