Should have been about Geralt not Ciri. (spoilers)
Read the books while waiting for W3 to come out and loved the short stories, however I hated every chapter with Ciri as a main protagonist. Earlier books with her aren't as bad because she isn't the main character, but the later chapters with her I had to skip. Would much rather have had her die than Vesemir; the world of the Witcher would be a much better place if Calanthe would have dropped Ciri on the ocean as a baby. It seems a prerequisite for knowing Geralt is agreeing to die for Ciri.
Game should have had finding Ciri as a major sidequest to Geralt fighting the Wild Hunt. Obviously I didn't care in the slightest in finding Ciri, somewhat ruining the game for me (literally, I hate her that much). Would have preferred a different cutscene where Geralt was glad Ciri was finally out of his hair, rich for bringing her to the emperor, and Yennefer eventually loses her powers, reverts back to a hunchback and is killed because people don't take her kind of crap from a magicless hunchback. Seriously, how can a person who was once a hunchback have such a horrible personality?
Funny that the game was even more linear than W2, where if you didn't like Triss, you can turn her down for sex, go with Roche, and save Anais in chapter 3. WH you have to save Ciri and you are suppose to romance Yennefer (other threads about how they screwed-up).
