Ciri doesn't need to be a "Witcher" or pass the trials to become one. Not only she's way more powerful than your average witcher, she simply has no real need of that. All I see is them wanting to gender-swap Geralt but attempting to be more "subtle" about it. It's sad CDPR fell flat on its face after W3, lost its local talent and recruited US/Brit wokies instead.

They can, first batch of witcher had a few but the trials kills them too often, there's like 1% chance of survival. At least from what I read.

When Ciri said "there are no Gods here, only monsters" I cried.
Ah CDPR, you've done it again! Magnificent!

On a serious note, how ******** is it, that your main character, for a game called "The Witcher", isn't even a ******* witcher.

(Edit) - CDPR has pointed out that Ciri has gone through the Trial of the Grasses and has become a proper witcher.
She was already a magical fighter anyway... but having her pull off the deadly trial that usually only men survive... offscreen... is definitely (((their))) way to drive Le Strong Woman point home.
That being said, as someone who places more stock in writing than gameplay, I highly enjoyed Witcher 3 and, despite all the alphabet agenda injected in it, CP2077 as well.
This trailer was not a good sign, and I will remain cautiously optimistic over this, but I still expect it to be on par with those two.
Never give devs the benefit of the doubt especially when they’re balls deep in ESG. Expect the absolute worst case scenario unless proven otherwise.

I think it needs to be said that judging pre-rendered cutscenes isn't reasonable, at least when it comes to quality of faces. Pre-rendered Geralt from the Witcher 3 trailers didn't look like his in-game model.
An even better example than Geralt would be Morrigan in Dragon Age Inquisition. In the pre-rendered trailers she looked fugly as all hell. Meanwhile her in-game model is arguably the best she's ever looked, even a decade older than in Origins and with the weird oily Inquisition skin texture.
β–Ί comparison
These ******* ALWAYS **** up the women in their games.
Take Morrigan from the one and only Dragon Age game.
The character they put in the game is the wrong age and wrong look. She doesn't fit. She's supposed to be a teenager, ffs.

You can find plenty of good mods that make her look decent, at least.

The very first trailer for The Witcher 3 is just as different as the game itself, so take a look for yourself.

So MAYBE Ciri will look different in the game, maybe better.

This game, much like Neil Cuckmann's new fetish sim, is a product of a bygone era. Like Neil's game, this game was greenlit and in development since 2020. A time where the Left thought that they had won. That they finally achieved the great victory over the Right and that this was going to be a golden age of DEI and social justice. Games like this will be look at as an oddity. A relic of a past where the West gave the keys of power to the most mentally deranged, abnormal, and culturally suicidal people they could find. It will serve as a lesson to future generations on why the mentally ill should never have a molecule of power if one wishes to have a successful society.
I agree.

The very idea that something like this game, Veilguard, Concord, Unknown 9, Dustborn, and the like would ever be successful could only have been considered if the developers at the time were under the impression that their side was guaranteed to "win" and thus everything woke would have going to be celebrated and mass consumed by the normie audience regardless of its quality.
One must remember that many of these games that are about to be released like Witcher 4 and Cuckmann's barely disguised fetish sim game were greenlit around 2020. As I said before 2020 was the year that the Left thought that they had won. That they had achieved ultimate victory over the Right and that this was going to be a golden age of DEI and social justice. Also, Trump was not suppose to have survived his assassination attempt. If he didn't this years Game Awards would have been a joyous celebration. Now these studios are panicking. It is too late now for them to do course correction. The games they greenlit back in 2020 are nearly complete. They have no choice but to release the woke slop they have made and hope for the best. Expect the next 1-4 years for the games industry in the West to be rough. It is going to be a dark age for them with more layoffs and more studios being bought out by China. In the end it couldn't have happened to more deserving people.

I hope this is exactly what happens, because the only bad thing I spot about chinese games is monetization, which easily fixed on private servers. Glory to the Jade Dragon!

Act Ma'am has been having a massive meltdown at people both hating the Witcher 4 and the Fallout show. He has been acting like a good corporate **** sucker and attacking anyone as porn addicts who hate both. A reminder that this ****** constantly photoshops himself as Gigachad in a bid to hide his Ashkenazi features for fear of people rightfully attacking him for being a typical, money hungry, spineless ****.

****** calls other people gay to cover up that he's a ******. A tale as old as time.

Pussy had to add the last bit to cover up that he was using gay as an insult.

Dude is a massive ********** and pretty much Destiny 2.0 : his girlfriend forces him to assist LGBTroll parades with others. She probably gets her cheeks clapped while he's on his chair.

It is.
If anything, I'd rank starfield above cyberpozz. Graphicswhores are a blight upon gaming.

The current writers could never conceive (pun not intended) of the idea of restoring the ability to bear children as something to strive for, even though that was Yennefer's whole thing in the books. Ciri, on the other hand, spent pretty much the entirety of her book journey trying to avoid getting knocked up. The writers are sure to view the Witcher infertility as super progressive and empowering, you bigot CHUD!
Shouldn't have allowed my CHUD ideology to color CD Projekt Rainbow's possible questlines. I stand corrected.



They started off making her a fat old Grandma.. then Trump won, Marvel tanked, Concord tanked, Veilguard tanked, DEI died, Disney crashed, GTA6 panicking, Microsoft firing, Obshidian in damage control.


It's almost like they pivoted mid-cutscene from trashfire to "******* salvage this dear god"
