It's certainly too early to speculate about the details of this new title but one of the things I am hoping will be included is the option to create your own Witcher.
I loved Witcher 3 but I prefered the choice they made for Cyberpunk 2077 in allowing you to create your own V. In the end it's a much better experience for me personally to be able to see myself in that role and that was just very limited in Witcher 3. I don't pretend to know how they could pull this off but they've already diverged from the books in many ways for the games (for the better imo) with great results so I see no reason not to continue doing what works for a game and not just what works for the books.
A more ambitious approach would have you choose a school to start which would also determine combat style but I doubt they'll go that far.
