Lmao. So Ciri basically took the hormone therapy.

I'm not even being a Codexian prick here. She took mutation anabolic shit meant only for young males.
It's suggesterd in the books that going through full witcher thing could fuck up her female biology.
The writer's name is "Kalemba". Can't make this up. :lol: ah sorry, I assumed it's some African name.

This is too funny, man :lol:

Since the game is gonna have a female protag and this is a witcher game, does this mean there will be scenes where the MC flirts with men and gets dicked? Nude cards ala witcher 1, but with large cocks instead of tits? :lol: "Here dear player, have a close-up scene where Ciri sucks off some fag! You like sex scenes, right?"

Most people who play as female protagonists are cucks anyway so they wouldn't mind. But i think CDPR will probably nerf the amount of romance options or just turn the game into a dyke simulator of the century with different flavors of Judy Alvarez. Playing as a dashing girlboss dyke is not lgbt propaganda after all, in fact you are a fag if you don't play every game that way or so i heard :lol:
normal people seeing the trailer: another eyeroll-inducing grrlboss showing stupid tradchads what's what, also dumb as fuck premise
russian 'people' seeing the trailer: homosex)))) gay))0

When did Ciri turn into a girl boss? Did CDPR consult Naughty Dog?
In the final novel of the series (Lady of the Lake) when she singlehandedly defeats Leo Bonhart, a guy who previously slayed several witchers.

Also she was already very powerful in Witcher 3. She basically goes against the world-shattering cataclysmic event and kicks its ass.
I second that. Across the books, series, and games, it was often hinted that Ciri's unbridled power would probably be an Armageddon-level of OP. The issue, however, was that her powers were unpredictable and difficult to control. Much of the story revolved around Ciri's journey to master that control, and not falling for some bs others have had in store for her along the way (or more precisely, her power).

The "Witcher has always been woke" argument holds some water. Elves were broadly the good "refugee" guys and humans broadly the bad "white bigot" guys.

Also the Witcher kills monsters and he himself is kind of a monster. Witcher guilt.

The main working point with the Witcher 3 video game was the player is given the choice, mostly, to pick which side or no side. That Elves are obviously slanted towards made killing them all the more fun for me. Also knowing that I would possibly not get rewarded by the game as much for taking the "wrong" route.

Wokeism is about more than taking viewpoints, it also tries to stifle expression, and how you choose to play. That hypocracy aspect is kind of the main problem with it.

Didn't we have this debate like 10x times already?

Veilguard is woke. Dustborn is woke.
Witcher isn't woke, it's old-school Yuro liberal. When it was written most people who'd be using "woke" weren't even born yet.
And elves aren't broadly the good guys, it's the original white bigots who were replaced by a previously oppressed group. But I guess it's too soon for this message to resonate in the West.

My prediction for all the justification that will happen in the game for Ciri being a full-blown mutated Witcher.

Someone from the School of the Cat modified the trials specifically for her (for a female physiology) and her Elder Blood let her survive it despite being an adult. Thus, she has the Lynx Medallion. (While also undermining the whole point of how horrific the mutation process is and how Witchers are unsustainable in the long run)
Furthermore, she underwent the mutation because "I hate that otherworldly elves are pursuing me my whole life and the lodge wants to use me, not to mention any future maniac that will obsess about my Elder Blood, let's mutate myself to make it unusable for everyone." (thus she lost her previous set of powers)

And there will be plenty of monsters around because of the Second Conjunction of Spheres that happened at the end of Witcher 3.

Because if they are already breaking the book lore they're going to break every interesting part of it

That actually sounds smart and sensible, therefore I doubt that's what they're going for.

My guess their justification will boil down to some version of "fuck gamers we don't have to explain shit".

So will we be able to craft Tampax to avoid menstrual periods? That's what players want to know. Oh wait.

Yeah, no.

I won't buy games with female protagonists or read fantasy books written by females or with female protagonists.

So basically I don't have to play new games or read new books at all. Hooray.

Retards at Cuck Donkey Project Red have long since forgot what the essence of TWitcher setting is. A magical Mary Sue certainly isn't it.
What about Henry of Skalitz? What I can tell you is that

Firstly:

Henry of Skalitz will never give you up, Henry of Skalitz will never let you down, Henry of Skalitz won't run around and desert you.

Secondly:

Henry of Skalitz will never make you cry, Henry of Skalitz will never say goodbye. But most importantly, Henry of Skalitz will never tell a lie and hurt you

As a Witcher she is sterile now, no more periods :P
Wanna bet she will still ride a lot to fuck patriarchy?

You will be able to fulfill all your homoerotic, autogynephilic and trans fantasies riding on a lot of dick without any consequences :P

They can come up with whatever excuses they like, it's still just another spiteful attempt to take something unique to men in order to make an already terrible mary sue into yet another exception to the rules.

It's very telling that most of the employees responsible for the previous game have since left the company altogether and the women who either rose through the ranks because of that or found themselves hired through the company's admitted anti-male policies are now gleefully claiming that Ciri was always the 'most important' aspect of the setting.

Nah.

Geralt was the protagonist for three games, though the company has proven cowardly and pretends that the first two games are 'problematic'.

It'll sell well, though not quite so well as the previous entry on the basis that many men simply aren't interested in playing as women as a personal preference. Even many of those who don't mind doing so are getting very tired of the disproportionate amount of video games with a female lead.

The trailer kinda reminded me “Henry Cavill fighting kikimora scene” from first episode of Netflix series.
I know CDPR had the boost in sales after first season, but was it so big that they decided to make a games closer to the Netflix show, I wonder

Yes, Yennefer is going to come back in Witcher 4 and will try to sacrifice Ciri.
