According to the wiki the climate actually changed at the end of the 13th century, but not so drastically as the prophecy said.
That's merely 30 years into the future from TW3.

True; enough to cause horrific famines, though. Sustained foul weather in 1315 and 1316 caused two years of crop failures. Deaths reached 25% in some places; crimes of desperation increased greatly, and there are reports (not necessarily truthful) of cannibalism.Kallelinski said:
Stories like The Mouse Tower of Bingen, though actually earlier, reflect the mood of the people around this time.
Great link, thanks. Judging by a frequency of predictions, humankind simply can't wait for this world to end. I wonder why. I don't really mind it keeping going till the Sun explodes.Kallelinski said:
In light of the prophecy it makes perfect sense to have Ciri in TW3. Unless this prophecy will be a major event in TW4 with a new protagonist.
Jeffs' church deserted him after that (not because of his "prophecy" but because he had kicked most of them out for having sex without his permission); now he can serve his life-plus-twenty sentence (for "aggravated sexual assault of children") without fear of anybody taking him seriously.Wichat said:
Don't forget they said Geralt is looking for his loved ones, that's plural, and he doesn't know many people he would call loved ones
To maybe explain Ciri`s presence in Witcher 3 if it really is her . Could be that the Wild Hunt`s minions find her in Camelot and she comes back to the only other world she knows . In doing so she discovers that Geralt is alive and therefore must find him and Yennefer . As far as she knows they were together when she left them on the Isle of Aval`lach and therefore should still be together . She also spent a lot of time on the Skellige islands as a youth . One of the locations confirmed to be in W3 . I guess we have a lot of time left to ponder such things .
I hope they introduce Ciri and the fact that Geralt has recovered all of his memory in a good way. It's a pretty big thing to understand from the start. (if you haven't read the books)
Lets hope they do an awesome tutorial (don't think so). Or alot of video's like the How to kill a witcher, or like the What is a Witcher. So we see how he recovered his memory and explain alot about his new knowledge and hopefully about Ciri.

So, i would assume even a player without the knowledge of the books can understand what is going on, i certainly hope so.
Here is a great summary about Ciri, for those who don't know too much about her.

I hope...
Well, the true fate of Ciri is known only to her loved ones and sorceress of the lodge. And some involved in the case, but who rather chose to escape to distant regions.
We have a problem with the lodge, which is a secret organization, but in games it looks as though everyone knew the lodge.

I hope CDPR has not forgotten that the people of the Witcher world think that Ciri is the empress of Nilfgaard.

I remember a false Ciri from the books taking the place of empress, to avoid public unrest until the real Ciri is caught by Nilfgaards troops. What happened to her ? Maybe she is still playing the role of empress and that is why no one thinks of Ciri as the empress. I don't remember what happened to the false Ciri in the books.

Well, we don't know for sure what will happen (or happened), but Emhyr got to like the idea to marry the fake Ciri, after he made the real Ciri cry and left her to Geralt and Yennefer, i think.
But in the games we never hear anything about her at all, so i doubt that Emhyr actually married her by now, it would be big news for the whole continent.

Oh, don't worry about it. It is like in a real world in some secret service, everybody talks about dealing with some terrorist organization the rest of the world has not idea it exists. People who know about the lodge are not some peasants on the streets, but those who are deeply involved in politics one way or the other.nocny said:

What i meant was that if he has married her in the meanwhile, it would be a big news, especially for the north and the emigrants from Cintra, but we heard nothing, so i would assume nothing important happened, maybe Emhyr changed his mind and the fake Ciri is still living in that castle.
Maybe there will be a quest that lets the real Ciri confront the false one,
it would be a funny dialog for sure./>

/>I wonder which voice actor they'll use for Ciri IF she is indeed in the game.
Until now I've only read about her, so hearing the voice would definately be interesting.
