The Witcher The Witcher IV - The Ciri Saga Begins

[AwesomeButton]

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.

La mutation est feminine

Cinematic looks fine as always, but why didn't they show gameplay? Why they don't want to show the game?

because they don't have it.

the game entered full production like a month ago.

it's the equivalent of the 2013 Cyberpunk 2077 trailer.

Why are you like this game developers? Don't you have a game to sell?

Yeah, in 2027 maybe.

Playing as Ciri, huh? How am I supposed to be a man as a woman, how am I supposed to romance as a woman? What the heck, CD Project?

Let's just say Ciri prefers the company of ladies. So romance away.

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

They gave Ciri more freckles now, so all your complains are invalid

 

[The Bishop]

Ciri's scar gotten so much worse I wonder what she's been treating it with, sulfuric acid?

 

[Ryzer]

Also It's unreal engine 5, so expect the size of the game to be at least 100 GB+ and to require a 3070 with 32 GB of ram and a Ryzen 7 7700X. Expect stuttering throughout the whole game as well.

Blame Sapkowski - it was he who made Ciri the prime protagonist of books 4 & 5 of the Witcher Saga.

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

After circa about 20 short stories, seven novels, 3 games and 2 game-size expansions I feel like Geralt earned his retirement. If he ever appears in Witcher 4, I hope he'll be chilling with Yennefer in Corvo Bianco and sending Ciri letters with fatherly advice and bottles of wine of his own production.

I hoped that Witcher 4 will give us a new playable character. I mostly counted on a character creator though.

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.

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.

Yeah thats true. People conflate woke with lirbrul, on purpose I think.

My point is more that I enjoyed the game all the more for it because its more satisfying to playing a game how its not exactly meant to be played. Although with newer games its not even possible to shoot the wrong people so...

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? "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

If I play the game with female protag (be it by default or with sex selection), she would be a lesbo by default

It's basically a choice between playing a cuck simulator or fetish

I don't remember Tomb Raider being either of that.

 

[Ol' Willy]

I, of course, know that real life lesbos are usually ugly dykes. But this is why we have games like this, for escapism. A fantasy world where even lesbos could be attractive

Obviously, by making female characters ugly as sin, gayme devs ruin yet another escapism aspect

 

[Ol' Willy]

I don't remember Tomb Raider being either of that.

You want to see Lara being boned in the cutscene?

 

[Lord_Potato]

You want to see Lara being boned in the cutscene?

You don't?

And I haven't even played Tomb Raider games since the original trilogy where she had pyramids instead of tits.

 

[Ol' Willy]

You don't?

Nah, that's some cuck shit

Playing female protag in action gayms isn't the same as in an RPG.

I have no problem playing Tomb Raider and such, as I don't control what she says/choose who to bone or not etc.

 

[yellowcake]

CDPR died when they went public. You lose your humanity when you join worshipers of Moloch.

As a guy who wouldn't mind Ciri as a protag if done right, I find the trailer repulsive.

Isn't it even worse?

Let's say RPG with female protag, game tries to force your char to suck off some disgusting nigger. Being an RPG, you can refuse and kill the nigger instead

In action game, you have no choice and had to proceed with nigger sucking scene

The point is I don't get to choose; playing an action game is like watching a movie, don't like it don't watch it.

Playing a female protag in an RPG is you sign up to be her from the get go, I refuse, I am not comfortable with it.

The only reason to play a game with a female mc is because she is hot (see Stellar Blade or NieR).
Why would I want to play as some washed-up witcher granny?

"identifying" with RPG character is a sure sign of low IQ

People with higher IQ can abstract, and as such, have no need to closely identify with a character. One could be a decent chap in a real life but play a backstabbing liar for a change

Meanwhile, low IQ people can't do that, the char should be as close to them as possible or they don't get it

I don't think Ciri would undergo the trials of the grasses. I can't recall fully but didn't they steal the notes to the rituals in the 1st game or something like that? I think there was some mention about it the 3rd game about it, maybe a quest or something.

She's already killing monsters anyway and will probably have magic to balance the witcher quirks she is lacking.

According to book lore the knowledge of how to create mutagens that cause the transformation was lost during the mob attack on Kaer Morhen - people who knew about it died during the fall of the castle.

There are still old mutagens stored in Kaer Morhen and Vesemir uses them to create new generation of witchers (Geralt, Eskel, Lambert, Coën) but in the newly published novel (Crossroad of Crows) Sapkowski suggests that he really didn't know what he was doing and his contemporary, witcher Preston Holt wanted to stop the Trial of Grass altogether because it resulted in too many adolescent deaths. Which, among other reasons, caused Preston to be banished from the castle.

Sapkowski also suggests that mutagens deteriorate over time and the effect of their usage would get increasingly volatile. He mentions unsuccessful experiments, like the creation of Cats (a generation of witchers created in a different school that all turned out to be violent psychopaths).

So it would make no sense for Ciri to undergo the trials. She's too old and of a wrong gender. Most importantly, she's too important for Geralt to expose her to a process with a 10% survival rate.

She just used her warp powers (that apparently she lost now) to go back in time, chud!
