    Please respect player choice, by having multiple prologues in Witcher 4 (Witcher 3 spoilers)

    Eeeh, that depends, really. In Witcher 3 Geralt remembers everything - and there is still player choice in how he would act in certain situations. Ciri is also way younger than Geralt, so it's not outlandish for her to change in personality in her late 20's or whenever the game will be set.

    Witcher 4 Release Date - Let's Speculate!

    I've heard somewhere that they won't release any significant marketing material this year.

    What is the likelihood of Andrzej Sapkowski's participation in the creation of "The Witcher 4"?

    Okay, so you've sent me on a bit of a rabbit hole and I've decided to check some sources - I think it's fair to say that we are both right, to some extent. You are right that he did, in fact, consult them on a map and names, he also did write a strongly worded letter to them, that they've memed...

    What is the likelihood of Andrzej Sapkowski's participation in the creation of "The Witcher 4"?

    I would really like the source on that one, the fact of consulting and the extend of it, especially considering that he initially had so little faith in video game success that he simply took the small amount of money instead of percentage of future profits, which led to the whole legal feud...

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    Not everyone who bought Witcher 3 is going to watch trailer on The Witcher Youtube channel - some people watched it on other platforms or on other channels (almost 10 mln views on IGN channel, for example). And it doesn't contradict the statement that most of those who watched it liked it.

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    I'm pretty sure that the reception of the trailer was very positive across the board, judging by the comments and likes on Youtube and other platforms. And many gamers do identify with Ciri, as a matter of fact she was, probably, the most popular protagonist suggestion for the sequel before the...

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    The Black Blood bit is a mistranslation, in Polish she doesn't say that, as far as I know. The rest is fair.

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    It's still way more ingrained in the narrative than you might think initially. A lot of the quests and situations in Witcher 3 explicitly refer Geralt's witcher abilities - how he can hear someone's heartbeat, how he can smell someone coming, how fast he is, how he is immune, etc. And it's not...

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    I understand your frustration, but I don't think it's physically possible in a game of such scale, with full voice-acting, motion capture and personalized main narrative. Because a witcher - as in, fully mutated witcher - requires almost complete rewrite on how almost every NPC would treat...

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    If we go by the logic of what Sapkowski did and did not include, then the games in their current form shouldn't exist. He didn't include Anna Henrietta's long lost sister, he didn't include Crach an Craite having a daughter named Cerys, he didn't have any eldrich witches, living in the bogs of...

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    Yeah, because they aren't adapting books. They never were adapting them either - the first one you can make a case of being a soft semi-reboot, but even that is stretching it. It was always a new territory.

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    Nah, screw prequels. They would ultimately amount to nothing, what is there to tell even? He was a traveling monster hunter before, did a bunch of stuff, killed a bunch of monsters. There can be no overarching narrative, because most important events in his life haven't happened yet, there can...

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    I don't want to do this dance all over again, so let's leave it at that - it doesn't matter what reasons did Triss have for being worried about Ciri being mutated, the fact is that she was worried to begin with, which, considering her knowledge and the fact that it was mostly her internal...

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    @WikiFox I don't think I will change anyone's mind over the Internet, but I like arguing with people, because it gives a better perspective on things and how people reach the conclusions they do. Some guy was writing paragraphs, lamenting about how disrespectful it is to the lore of the books...

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    "Plus Ciri was never listed as being the top dog amongst the lodge of sorceresses. She can even be described to be somewhat of a backstabber and manipulator. " - I assume you meant Triss, because Ciri was never a Lodge member. And Triss wasn't a manipulator, if anything, she was the one being...

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    1) You don't have to be an expert to know basic things about a subject matter you are clearly interested in - and she is interested in witchers, both out of professional curiosity and because of her affection for Geralt. I don't want to repeat myself again and again, but the fact that she knows...

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    I'm sorry, but this is turbo-cope. Triss, despite being young, is one of the most skillful sorceresses on the continent, she was invited into the Lodge and she was an adviser to King Foltest: there is no possible way that she would know about witcher Laboratorium, Trial of the Grasses, Trial of...

    Convince me that Ciri is a good choice.

    Yeah, pragmatic seems like the right word. Let's put it this way - Geralt hates what was done to him, but he accepted it and more or less moved on. It's like as if he was drawn a big tattoo on his face when he was a child. It makes him noticeable, strange, bars him from certain positions in life...
