Didn't vote because it didn't have the obvious option: Ciri.
I am fairly confident that in The Witcher 4 you'll play as Ciri. Whether you solely play as Ciri is another matter. And I'm just as confident Geralt, Triss, Yen, etc. will still be very important to the story and Ciri's adventures. You'll also likely see the progress of those relationships you established, and the consequences of the choices you made, as Geralt. But you'll be seeing most of it with Ciri's eyes.
She is tailor-made to be the protagonist.
* Fans already know and like her.
* Already established backstory, character and set of relationships.
* She's connected to the continuing Witcher story and major characters.
* She's already been a player character.
* She has room to establish her own new friendships, romances and rivalries.
* She fits the combat system while her magic allows for greater changes and more variety than was allowed with the old Signs system.
So, to answer the thread in regards to the choice I just outlined: yes. Very yes.
