Nah. The development team forced that to be the case because they're drinking deep from the ESG/DEI trough by their own admission.

There's a pretty notable trend of games starting with a male protagonist and then later replacing them with a woman.

It was perfectly possible to have her show up as a cameo character and focus on a different male lead if they really wanted to ditch Geralt. Especially since the role he takes is almost exclusively tied to men.

That being said, I don't doubt that many autogynephiles are eager to play as Ciri so with that in mind I can understand the urge for some to rush to defend what is obviously going to be subversive slop.

Unsurprising that Witcher 4 ditched Geralt for Ciri. Unfortunate.
They couldn't help themselves. It will be woke garbage.
Did you not play the fucking game?
The whole point of the end is that Geralt is over and Ciri takes the mantle.

Fucking niggers I swear.

Hey, it doesn't matter what plots matter or what existing characters are around, you need to call out the woke!

You ever see what the DEI shit eaters did to hetero alpha chad Kyle Katarn???

You are a dumb fuck if you think CDPR would risk coming up with an original male Witcher instead of relying on Ciri whom people already love. But what am I saying, anyone using "ESG/DEI" unironically IS a dumb fuck.

Ciri was a fairly divisive character, not overwhelmingly loved and it's not like they didn't have other canon characters to draw upon.

It's clear you have no actual counter, though. It's a bit too late to pretend as if ESG/DEI is simply a conspiracy theory especially when I'm simply quoting the development team itself. Well, what's left of it after almost all the talent left.

Here's a link, for your convenience:

90% male audience. 95% all lead devs and designers are males. Males have built this industry, and every single building block of civilization around it for thousands of years. Protagonits in AAA Western games? Girrrrrls Bossses

West should have fallend and THEN rose from ashes as phoenix. Trump is the worst thing that could have happen. It gave you all false sense of victory

Elon Musk and based indies/AAs: build Gaming Industry 2 FFS. Do it as soon as possible. I''ll help. Fuck this shit

The Witcher III was a complete game way before this game was posted. And when I beat it, my immediate thought was "if there's a Witcher 4, Ciri will be the lead".
So that video means nothing, because TW3 paved the way for a Ciri protagonist.

I always ensured that she died in my play-throughs. Awful character.

The rest of the cast was solid, though.
