The Witcher The Witcher IV - The Ciri Saga Begins

[Alienman]

I don't believe that for a second, about Ciri.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

I haven't gotten to the books yet but in the stories Witchers are a product of fate. It's not just about the trial thingy children are claimed to become witchers according to some kind of predestination or prophecy.

Eh, kinda? They do the "what you didn't expect to find coming home" shtick, and that is connected to the whole superwitcher prophecy (that might not be a propehcy at all) they have going on, but for the most part it's just another method of getting raw material for the Trials. Pretty sure Geralt himself was simply abandoned at Kaer Mohren by his mother.

woah shes pretty now

They didnt change anything btw

Dont let the jews gaslight you

 

[Odoryuk]

The model is unchanged, the blend shapes are

 

[Quillon]

if she starts to look "okayish" somehow, everyone's happy lmao. she isn't okayish looking girl you can easily find walking the streetz, she is exceptional with big emerald eyes and shiiiiiiet yo

besides she doesn't look & feel like their own interpretation from W3, except for one whole body shot they posted but its not consistent with others

 

[Lyric Suite]

The looks aren't the problem. It's the fact she is a Witcher that's the problem.

 

[Modron]

Doesn't even need to be a Witcher with all her powers, could be doing the job without the mutations.

 

[covr]

Pfff, it is obvious that Ciri is actually a man. She has completed transition man-to-woman process together with that witcher transmutation process, so now she can be a proper Witcher and a woman at the same time. Everyone should be happy, both woke redditards and 'Dex heterosexual oldfags.

It's important if you are pushing an agenda.

Lore: only men can be witchers
Ciri: I identify as a man
Reddit: Wooooow

 

[Semiurge]

She could open portals to other places and times and even then she wouldn't have full control over it, potentially resulting in another cosmic cataclysm. So no, she couldn't according to the lore they're raping. She's not even someone who could become a sorceress, apparently, because her powers are far greater, beyond her control. Because of the elder blood I guess.

 

[BruceVC]

This is a massive improvement for me, you know Im playing W3 at the moment and Ciri is attractive in that game

I will be very happy if she looks like this in W4 because I wasnt happy with how CDPR originally wanted her to look like

 

[BruceVC]

woah shes pretty now

They didnt change anything btw

No way, I dont care what anyone says the models dont look the same

 

[BruceVC]

Hey nice, she looks better. Now replace here with a male witcher.

Yes that will be available, you can transition using mutagens

CDPR is going to surprise us with a special quest you can go on

 

[thesecret1]

Would be an interesting mechanic. Premise: game is tough as fuck, borderline unwinnable, but if you drink a mutagen, you get a large permanent statboost that makes the game easier. Drink enough and you can win the game just by LMB mashing. BUT with each mutagen you drink, your Ciri becomes uglier and more mannish, going from a wet dream to one of the Bogdanoff brothers. Skill based gameplay is rewarded, journos are happy because they get their uggo, and there's choice and consequence. Perfect system, really

 

[Bloodeyes]

I don't like playing female characters so I'm not keen on this one. I don't mind playing elves and dwarves and shit but I don't enjoy playing a character that is female, black human, red haired or left handed. Party members are fine but if its my main it just makes me uncomfortable.

I'm willing to miss out on games I'd otherwise be very interested in if the MC isn't someone I'd want to play as. I didn't get Star Wars: Jedi, Fallen order because the main character is ginger haired.

 

[jaekl]

what, you're telling me your greatest fantasy isn't to be a grumpy old lady swinging her dad's sword around?

 

[Tehdagah]

Ciri won.

I am playing Witcher 3 right now and it still looks gorgeous. Have they given reasons for using the Unreal Engine for W4? Or did they change the engine so much for Cyberpunk that it isn't any longer viable? I haven't tried Cyberpunk so I cant tell, but on a first glance it seems to be a suitable engine.

All the lead engineers left CDPR, and they haven't trained the new ones on its architecture, so they have no clue how it functions under the hood, hence the switch to UE5.
