The Witcher The Witcher IV - The Ciri Saga Begins

[Average Manatee]

Galadriel?

1937 references The Hobbit. LotR came out in the 1950s.

Yeah, I really can't recall any females at all in The Hobbit. There's probably a few female hobbits (I'm pretty sure some are referenced but I don't recall if they appear), and I think there might be a Queen to the King of Mirkwood?

women would find older Geralt attractive

Highly debatable, unless they're into grandpa porn.

Last time I played Witcher 3 women were falling all over Geralt.

Real women, or the in-game romanceable supermodels they created to pander to incels?

They turned a good game (The Witcher) into popamole rolling simulator (The Witcher 2).

How does it feel to watch everything we love burn during your lifetime?

It all burned long ago, you just have noticed it.

 

[Fenix]

Witcher 4 if it was made by Polish nationalists?

Cleo is so cool, man...
I'm biased, she looks very similiar to ex, which was almost 20 years ago now. Same mimics even.

He's the perfect archetype for women:
- He's a cuck (yen cucked him a lot), yet he is orbiting around her, simps for her and satisfies her desires
- He's vasectomised (kind of)
- He's tall > 6"0 , below is a no-no
- He's strong and fit
- He is not bald (No baldness allowed!)

Another day another 1k dead russgoblins litters the ground somwhere in bumfuck nowhere ukraine vatniggers desperately need a win and womban witcher is the best they have at the moment.

Its a big loss for Poland dont get me wrong but it's not as bad as burning alive in your goblinbox.

As discussed in various other threads, I think there's a very arguable theory that nerds in general stopped reading as they age, because the publishing houses and various apparatuses of adult lit have been throughly colonized by shit, like all media.

When you look at older stuff, there's so much quality available. Then you look at new fantasy/sci-fi and it's all reminiscent of modern Hugo Award winners.

The only modern fantasy novels I've read are from Andrzej Sapkowski, Witold Jabłoński, George R. R. Martin and Scott R. R. Bakker (why do so many authors steal Tolkien's R. R.?) and while none of them conceals his fetishes, they still deliver better writing that 90% of the fantasy writers of old, save for Tolkien, Zelazny, Howard and several others. I think I can live with a few kinks if it gets me good reading.

I dunno how "new" I would consider these guys, especially since they're all boomer-age and started the series that put them on the map at least two decades ago. Not familiar with Witold Jabłoński tho.

By new I mean going to a large chain bookstore and looking at what's being promoted.

 

[salaciousbcrumb]

They fucked up Cyberpunk 2077 on release but made it "good" later on. It's another generic rpg game in the end.
Witcher 3 made the expectations for the 4th skyrocket, they're gonna fuck up in both categories.
There's no way in hell they're making a success out of this shite.

One factor that made witcher enjoyable was Geralt being a interesting character. Ciri is boring as fuck. I felt like A ciri led game could've been a good spin-off game, but that wouldn't sell well would it?

This is it.
Geralt is an interesting character that you don't mind playing, not just that for men he us alpha and gets to bang hot chick's, but also because he is cynical and world beaten and you feel sometimes you are forcing him into having fun against his will.
He actually feels like a fully formed character that is being pushed about by the player (destiny)

Ciri is just a plot device as a magic mcguffin.

I don't want to play a monster hunter game as Ciri, I want to play the game as Geralt banging hot chicks and moaning about drowners and politics and then getting pissed up with dwarfs.

Men want to play games as Errol Flynn, because it's FUN, you know like A GAME.
They don't want to play Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.

Nor do women either, they just want to cosplay as Dorothy and don't buy games.

They divert most of the European funds, and all we get now as reward is a pozzed, the worst kind of woke piece of garbage ,complete with prudishness and likely no sexual content, since even the Witcher cards were deemed problematic. It features a masculine girl boss and a trailer that reeks of DEI. CD Projekt is heading down the same path as Ubisoft. The Witcher 4 will tank like Star Wars Outlaws, and they’ll end up making gacha games in a sweatshop for Tencent.

Then there are the apologists who say, "But Ciri wasn’t that good-looking in the books." Oh? Why would I care about that? Everyone wants attractive characters in their escapism.

 

[Frozen]

RTX ON

Cultural appropriation. Turning Potato into American.

wut!? I remember Yen specifically saying Ciri is so beautiful that she wouldn't need "magical enhancement". Weren't Pavetta and Calanthe also famously beautiful?

 

[Frozen]

Ciri is pretty but not in a porn way you losers would want to see.

Her TW3 look is accurate for 21yo girl.

We have no clue how old she should be in that new trailer and if she did undergo mutations that could also explain her face/sex change.

Never trust a woman on judging another woman's beauty.

That's what I remember, too, but Konjad said she wasn't. Maybe something got lost in translation.

Apologists are defending the portrayal of Ciri again. We don't know how old she is? She's a half-elf, so she could hardly age. She has magic, and every mage looks artificially gorgeous. No, Ciri's look is strictly due to ideology. If you dig up Twitter comments from current CD Projekt Red staff, you can find out their political views. There's no doubt they're fully committed to the "message" and the worst kind of woke possible.

I'm not defending anything. Ciri is not half elf. Her ancestor 250y ago was half elf. She should age normal as her grandmother, unless they add something that because of her "fully formed elder blood gene" she ages differently and lives longer...but then again, she it seems lost her elder blood powers and gain Witcher powers + gain source powers that she shouldn't have anymore...you see where the problem lies? It's not can you wank to milf Ciri or not.

I'm just saying her look is the least of this game problems.

Ciri was still a kid at the time she said it, when Yen became her mother essentially. Ciri's scar is supposedly horrific tho, which CDPR didn't make it so in W3; they shrugged it away with Geralt commenting her scar's healing beautifully and Ciri saying Avallach giving her remedies iirc, how times change.

The look of Ciri is certainly the least of my concerns about this game. They've already retconned the lore, and by the end of the books, she seemed more aligned with an Arthurian story. Can only expect the worse.
