I think a good way to transition into a new lead would be to have Geralt take on another Tutelage. Sure it's a bit unoriginal and it's already been done in the form of Ciri, but it'd make sense with any of the endings of the Witcher 3. Whether it be Geralt being bored holed up with Triss/Yenn, i'd find it hard to believe he'd be going out of his way to kill epic monsters, but can easily see him using a student as a hobby of sorts and an excuse to keep his own skills/body sharp. Or if everyone leaves him, including Ciri, it could easily be portrayed as him seeking that of which he lost (a semblance of a family.) It'd also just make sense for Geralt to evolve into a Vesemir type character, considering Geralt himself viewed him as a Father almost.
Maybe not original as far as stories go, but it just makes sense. It'd also allow the player an Opportunity to customize their character any way they see fit, provide a sensible reason to reintroduce some of the recurring characters, and gives CDProjekt free reign on which direction to take the story all while having a "passing of the torch" to connect the player to the previous series. An old Grumpy Geralt would also be pretty fun to talk with.

Doesn't make much sense. Such student wouldn't become a Witcher - Geralt doesn't not how to perform trial of the grasses. Ciri made more sense, becasue she was a Source. Here you would be playing a normal guy without Witcher reflexes, senses and abilities. And judging by how often Geralt got himself almost killed because of his job, such guy wouldn't last long.
Going into the past before Kaer Morhen got destroyed. Geralt was a young Witcher back then (if I remember correctly) so you could meet him, and there was enough Witchers so you could create your own and be taught by Vesemir.

What's wrong with playing a normal guy?
Doesn't have to be called "Witcher - The Non-Witcher" it's just a game based in the setting, could be about anything.
lol You're both fucking stupid. One for asking for a witcher-less game in a setting where the main thing that sets it aside are witchers, and the other for brofist-shaming an oldfag with 99% of his posts in a pre-brofist age.
Too bad that no one told Sapkowski this when he decided to write several books with Geralt as a secondary character while all the important plot stuff was left to non-witcher characters.Witcher setting was always based around Witchers and Geralt of Rivia. It's not like Star Wars or Song of Fire and Ice where you can have multiple threads about different things. To buy a Witcher game/book so I couldn't play/read a Witcher is just stupid as fuck.
Many of those people seemed to want a different game altogether, though. Besides, they're obviously wrong, because Geralt is great and very likeable, partly because he has an actual personality and a set of values instead of being just a typical safe and bland fixed protagonist.Aye but also a downside for some, lotta folk hated playing Polish Steven Seagal dint they?

I expected as much from Sapkowski .
Its the same thing as my father they are the same generation and at first he was totally off from computers like its a plague.
Now he's old don't have anything to do and surfs almost all the time when he's home.
Its a fear of new things, he would probably lighten up to the idea of interactive storytelling if he was more exposed to it.
Especialy when you consider that CD Projekt did more than anyone to do it in a relatively decent manner.
I dont know why nobody posted the most obvious answer: Broche
No more monster hunting, but forming of political plots and killing off assholes in the most badass manner possible would be the main elements of the game. It would be awesome.

DISCUSS!!
I'd prefer for it to be set in the past, in the 'golden age' of Witchers. We'd design our own character, and start out as a 'child surprise' to one of the Witchers at Kaer Morhen. In the prologue we'd undergo the training, trials, and mutations.
Not the most creative idea (in fact very predictable and traditional), but I'd like it.
The prologue might conclude with the event where Kaer Morhen is stormed by the fanatics and mages.
