Curious about The Witcher IV cinematic trailer? Join Game Director Sebastian Kalemba as he dives deeper into the characters, moments, and themes of the trailer and breaks it all down for you!

I'm not curious in what Kalemba has to say. He's an animator, TW4 is his first non-animation position. Moreover, he's worked at Platige before.
If you thought C77 was too cinematic, TW4 has no grounds not to be even more so.

She should be a play girl fucking around like Geralt. Sex sells.
My brother in Christ, it was over before it has even begun. You could fuck 25 women in The Witcher 1 (including one threesome), 5 in The Witcher 2, 7 in The Witcher 3 (plus brothels).
While it is true, those 25 in W1 only had a single short animation and then a card appeared. Of the 7 ladies in W3 each cutscene had a different scenario, location, positions etc. Quality or quantity, that is the question.

How is this even a question. Did your libido disappear along with your hair

I'm just not excited for anything CDPR makes anymore, and this trailer didn't do anything to improve that
CDPR has been style over substance since at least Witcher 3, and now the "style" seems to be Ciri Bogdanoff. What is there to be excited for indeed?

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

If you suck the dick, you get permanent +1 CON and an unique item.

You know there never really was a choice after all.
In reality, you get STDs and probably AIDS which are maluses.

You are actually retarded if you complain about her look. She's a polish woman, everyone knows they turn into baba yaga as soon as they turn 25 and older

So again: considering the power she displayed in W3....how the hell is she here fighting with a sword?


Don't look for logic in modern game and don't be surprised that KurwaDickgirlPerdoleRed don't care about established lore, much like any other company these days. Whole Witcher trilogy is the product of ignoring sapwokeski lore where Geralt gets quadrangulated by some peasant in the end. They would bend the lore again when it suits them. Like making wumbyn a full blown witcher. And and her dimensional elf superpowers (cringe) can be easily erased as side effect of witcher humiliation ritual... mutation ritual i mean. Or any other bs explanation, not that they need one. People will consoom.

How do you even call a female witcher? Is there even a word for that?
Witch?

I always thought it was "Witcher" that seemed like an unusually gender swapped term - a male witch.
Wiedzmyn is a masculinised "wiedzma" which stems from the Proto-Indo-European reconstructed root for the verb "know", wiedz-/weiss-/ etc. Witches were "women who know", i.e. know herbs, how to heal, how to curse, how to poison, how to break magic, etc. The wiedzmyn is simply "a knowledgable man".

That's even bolder than putting a writer/narrative designer with no other experience in charge of Avowed

it would've been surprising if the game's playable character was a custom made witcher

Ciri as a protagonist was always the most likely decision - most W3 players like her and the "Ciri Witcher" ending (despite being the most boring, cliché and vacuous one) is quite popular and liked ; it's easiest for the writer's to continue where 3 left of (no need to come up with wildly new characters, factions, stakes and since it's a pre-defined character, there's no need to account for actions Ciri would never do) ; it's the character that better suits CDPR commitment to ESG

it's literally the easiest and laziest choice for a new protagonist

They were always going to go with Ciri being the Witcheress. Most of the compaints I'm seeing with the idea is that her story, like Geralts is done with by the end of TW3 and people just wanted a new character in the setting so a whole new saga could be told without needing to draw from the books in any way or form.
