Pffftt... not basing your entire diet on hotpockets and butter bars... so casual.Thanks for the picture, freakie. Now I feel greeaaat about my body. God damned male sexism.
Screw this. I'm going to wolf down some more pringles.
every day is chest day m8Have you seen Geralt's waist-to-chest ratio? That's not very realistic either, but I'm not going to make a thread about it.

My 2 cents about the topic.
First. If we have 15 page threads complaining some characters' boots it just goes to show how much CDPR is doing right with the game. That you need to go so far to find something to complain about.
Secondly. It's a fantasy RPG, does everything need to be so believable? If we go that road I could argue that Letho was an unrealistic or even laughable character because of his build. In no way could he have so much muscle mass, and to keep that kind of muscle mass (even with steroids) he would need to eat like 10 meals a day and train like crazy but in The Witcher 2 he ran around forests with the Scoia'tael eating roots and mushrooms. Besides with that kind of mass there's no way he could do any agile witcher style sword fighting. I would argue that after running a mile or two he'd have a stroke because his heart just couldn't bump more blood into that huge body of his.
So yeah. Complaining about Ciri's heels is pretty stupid to begin with.
No it really doesn't make sense even if we include mutations and magic. The whole purpose of the mutations and magic were to make witchers as agile, fast and strong as possible (and btw, huge muscle mass does not equal strength) and having that kind of build kind of defeats the purpose. It will just make you big, slow and heavy.Letho's a witcher(mutations magic hello?) it's explained/implied why he's like that.
Again, I could use the same argument with Letho. What does Letho having huge muscles tell me? That he'd rather look like a bodybuilder even if it meant that he would suck at being a witcher. And would probably die of stroke or get slashed by a monster because of his build..What I care about is if it contributes to her character or not. What does Ciri having high heels tell me? that she's impractical and she'd rather look pretty than get killed.

Well even though the mutagens and magic might explain how Letho ended up looking the way he is, logic would still dictate that maintaining his physique you'd need a daily stimulus on the muscles and plenty of food and not running around in the woods with elfs and eating roots. Also, I'd say that Letho's physique makes him an even poorer assassin. I mean he's not exactly someone who I would describe as "inconspicuous". I mean in the Foltest murder scene it was pretty obvious that there was a huuuuge motherf*cker behind the hood/frock.I feel like Letho didn't choose his appearance ("Everyone starts treating me like I'm a big oaf, I mean I can't change how I look") maybe it's a sideffect of the mutations also he isn't a very good witcher either,it's certainly implied that he wasn't. I mean Leo Bonhart wasn't built to fight witchers but he was still able to fuck up a lot of them Letho might have had a handicap but was still good despite that.
It might also contribute to how Letho wants to be an assassin instead of a witcher since his body is more suited to that.
High heels however...

My theory is that CDPR made him look like he is because they wanted an intimidating badass mofo and they sure succeeded that with Letho. If they wanted to make Ciri more feminine looking or something with the heels I have no problem with that.
Of all the things making Ciri "sexy", it's not the heels. Nor is that the case for any of the female characters.
We saw in TW2 how the women looked sexy without heels. So IMO it has to be some kind of stylistic change, or some other reason, because it's certainly not just "to make them sexier", because people like Triss & Ciri already look pretty damn dashing even if you don't look anywhere near the feet.
Stylistic change?? It can't be about making her sexier because she's already sexy?? What kind of logic is that?
What other purpose will heels that high even have!? aside from them being sexy
. It was just the gist of the point that it doesn't make sense to throw heels on them just to make them sexier, because it doesn't really, they're great regardless.
also why do you think they're great exactly??? other than them being sexy? are they great because they're horribly impractical for a swordsman?
yes obviously no connection with heels and sexiness (sarcasm) but I think CDPR just forgot about it "well most of our women are in high heels so lets just put them on this one too" thats probably the reason
