They wouldn't create a game in which you can only play a mage. Like you said, that would heavily reduce the sales. Most people want to play a "figher"-like character.Skyrim was rather about creating your own story. This game is for 5-year olds, kinda like having a virtual friend
Anyways, this is a problem for CDPR, because they closed Geralt's road for themselves and now It will be pretty hard to create something that will match storytelling of this saga. I mean, you can create story only about Yen or Ciri when you play more as a mage or strictly as a mage, but in that case I would be worried about sales.
You can create number of playable characters, but in that case story will suffer.
One of the bgiggest appeal of the witcher games are all the character relations.And not only the important ones between Geralt and his clostest like Yennefer, Ciri, Triss, Dandelion, Zoltan etc. There are also so many minor characters we know from the books and it's a great experience to meet them in the game. For example when I first met Phillipa in the games, I thought about Geralt's experiences with her in Blood of Elves and I knew I have to be careful and shouldn't trust her. A witcher 4 with a player-created character would kill all this moments, as this character wouldn't have any connection, relation or past with any of these awesome characters we know from the books and previous games.

I agree. It's an RPG, there should be a character progression, inventory and new armors or outfits for Ciri.
This. Plus I think it could be a real asset to the story to see the world through multiple points of view (especially if we get to see the same locations at different times through different characters' eyes). I've always preferred fantasy and sci-fi books that get you into the heads of multiple characters (Witcher Series, A Song of Ice and Fire, etc.). I really think you need to see a world through at least two points of view before you can get an honest assessment of it.
There are. Just not things that *you* control. She is constrained by the story ~ but develops between 'chapters'. I'd be very surprised if you ended the game with the 11 year old from the tutorial
Then we disagree. Imo it's too much as these 5-10 hours are part of the mainstory. So it's 5-10 hours of 50 hours, which is a lot.
Let's be honest, anything beyond 0 hours is too much
Anyway, joking aside, let's move the discussion to this thread, please: http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/32643-2nd-PLAYABLE-character-confirmed-as-Ciri

I can understand your fears in this regard but I'd trust CDPR far more than Bioware/Bethesda to do a great job with the story line, even with a player created character. Besides, now that they've created such an amazing fantasy world, it'd be a shame to never revisit....for me at least

Sorry to be OT but blimey, I watched that series and never knew (or don't remember) any of that stuff! Reptilian race? Three brains? What were they smoking?
ahh.. youtubes infamous compression in action...., maybe a gamersyde video would help
Holy shit, Yennefer is absolutely perfect.

Same as Hunter no doubt:
I do remember the 3 brains, 3 centurions per raider & 3 raiders per squad, so they had this whole 3rd degree angle going through the cylons, and people thought it was just because the cheapskates producers were reusing the same old stock footage
I don't believe the reptile thing, thats smacks of a commando edit linking BSG2004's showrunner David Eick with messianic reptile-phobe David Icke
Gopher's latest video was proper hype. Glad to hear he's so impressed with the quality of the writing and the quests. It's the most important part, and I'm hoping it'll be brilliant. I mostly listened to him, not wanting to spoil anything that was happening on screen.
The dwarf made me lol.
Gwent is receiving more and more compliments from different internet guys. Seems promising.
I finished TW1 again today. I was embarrassingly sentimental at the end, thinking how far CDPR came. I'm just a big softie.
Only one stage left in the marathon I started at January this year. Well, two, including TW3.
I'm gradually tuning out from the world. I'll emerge again at the end of June.

Wow.This takes me back!
Left one from Gophers 3rd video, right one from witcher 1 cinematic intro

After just finishing reading The Last Wish today, I squealed like a little schoolgirl seeing Yen in those last couple of linked vids
Man I just cannot wait to see where the story goes. It's going to be, both literally and otherwise, magical.

Am I the only one who thought that Yen was a horrendous hag and turbocunt in the short stories?.. She does a 180 in the novels, but I really hated her in the Last Wish and SoD.
Here's hoping that CDPR stick to the novel-Yen, I guess.
ESP in SOD , she was seeing another wizard too if i am correct , ( and went away to avoid choosing)
Inviting Gopher to the event was a right call and I was so happy when I read he was going and OMG he didn't let us down. His approach to this has just been flawless, very informative and dare I say far more professional than anything we have seen by others. I will bet you that whoever at CDPR suggested Gopher for the event have gotten lots of pads on his/her shoulder with a: "great call mate".
