It'll have a protag like Fable or Flintlock or some other faggot wannabe woman cunt game. The agenda has spoken and faggotism has infected all past times like the AIDS it is. I mean look at WokeTards of the Coast and the D&D lineup pnp to digital; BLEK. Every last fucking ad.

It was known for the last two years that Geralt wasn't going to be the protagonist.
Why are retarded ragebaiters on youtube suddenly throwing a tantrum?
It was known since Blood and wine so at least 8 years. All it takes is one google search to know this basic shit.

Ending The Witcher 3 ‘With a Bang’ - IGN First​

Geralt's final adventure may not be the end of the series.​

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the final Witcher game with Geralt of Rivia at center stage, and CDProjekt Red Senior Writer Jakub Szamałek told IGN, “we felt that we owed Geralt a proper goodbye, and decided to part ways with a boom.”


Szamałek continued, “I think good stories must have an ending. You cannot extend them indefinitely, and we felt that Geralt has had such an amazing adventure, and his saga is already so long and complex that this seemed like a good point to think about an appropriate finale for the story.”

Geralt “has reached the end of his journey,” but this doesn’t mean it’s the end of The Witcher universe in video games. “The Witcher universe is a very big place with a lot of NPCs, a lot of characters, a lot of places we haven’t shown yet,” Szamałek said. “So, we might return to it at some point…but we think that this is a good place to let Geralt enjoy his retirement and try something new."

I think CDPR gave Geralt a worthy farewell. He most certainly did not get a Luke Skywalker treatment.

It's high time for new heroes.
He might get Luke Skywalker of video games treatment, where he appears as a sage figure (Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy comes to mind).

I'm just tired of franchises with an established male protagonist retiring or killing off that very same male protagonist and replacing them with women. I have very little interest in playing women in video games and Ciri was one of the weakest parts of the story for me even if I consider The Witcher 3 to be one of my favourite games of all time. I didn't hate her, though her backstory involves multiple fantasy tropes I do not really care for. Nonetheless, she was tolerable...back when the company wasn't drinking deeply of DEI/ESG slop.

I really hope that she isn't the protagonist for The Witcher 4 but I will not be holding my breath. I also do not expect the game to be anywhere near as good or memorable as its predecessor simply due to pattern recognition towards companies that have embraced what is very much a performative ideology.

A lot of the employees responsible for working on the first three games have also departed the company. The tone, atmosphere and approach to world-building will likely be very different as a result. We'll see if the game intends to allow the player to create their own protagonist but hopefully if that is the case, it won't side-line men and it won't embrace the idiotic 'body 1/body 2' nonsense.

If Ciri is the protag, I am out. If they do male/female protag option ala V in CP2077, then I am still in. But they will lose a lot of the flavor of Witcher games.

Having a female Witcher would be a mistake. Market is already oversaturated with fem protags and I don't trust them with making women hot this time around.

Making female protagonists in action games or action RPGs or action movies is the height of woke retardation. They want to empower women to do something most women don't want to do? It's like making a male protagonist in a shopping movie.

PR move. Like 80% of all players are men and unless the protag is smoking hot supermodel, nobody is going to care whatsoever.

Full character creation would be cool and they already had it in 2077, so it's not like it's completely out of question.

But yeah, waiting to see more if this is going to be a clown show or a legitimate game.

Full character creation was stupid in cyberpunk because as I recall there were only two voices to choose from and the protagonist never EVER shut the fuck up so you were stuck making a character that suited the voice actor. Or else you had some giant metal gorilla man who was an emotional homo with chronic verbal diarrhea which didn't make any sense.

Voiced protag is the worst thing ever unless it's something like Gothic.

Cybergarbage2077 really is a turd if you want to play as your own character and not Victor\Victoria clown with cyber aids. They could have just made a shooter like GTA with less emo dialogue. Probably would have improved the game too lol.

CDPR is still an Eastern European company as far as I know. That's the only reason why it might not be woke.

But that's not the real issue anyway, the actual problem with this game is that it's a Witcher game :smug:
