The Witcher The Witcher IV - The Ciri Saga Begins

[Grauken]

What about Glen Cook and Black Company?

Since you mentioned it, my feeling is the only good part in black company is the first book. Also, knowing that the guy was narrating his experience of Vietnam ruined much of the atmosphere for me.

Glen Cook never participated in the Vietnam war, nor any other for that matter. He did service in the U.S. Navy

Ok, I've been misinformed apparently. He wasn't in the Vietnam War himself, but was inspired by what he knew of that life from friends and acquaintances who served there.

Also he is apparently into military history which has informed a lot of his writing

Currently the guy is still writing (he's like what, 80+ and I thought he was on his deathbed), has written one or two new books who are hold up by a change in his editor but may come out in 2025

I strongly believe in the common saying that everyone has a book in him. The caveat is when do you sit down to write it and from what vantage point of lived experience. In Tolkien's case, the vantage point was pretty high. The moral I guess is it always pays to be a good person a live a rich life.

Well, Cook is my top favorite fantasy writer, so I say he had more like top 30 books or so I love

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

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.

CIri's scar is there but it's not making her particularly hideous. Lancelot still considered her hot despite the scar

Come on now her scar is there to look "cool"/more like Geralt, not intended to be bad looking in any shape or form by mid 2010s of CDPR. In the books it looked bad enough for her to be very insecure about it at the least, yeah she could still be hot I guess from certain angles

Listen you fucking dumb retard idiots, if you only read the deepest lore from the archives of the true witcher universe, you'd know that Ciri is CANONICALLY allergic to healing potions and that's why her face is so swollen now. Good fucking grief, do you people know ANYTHING?

 

[udm]

Is it just me or did they use Millie Bobby Brown as the model for Ciri? It's annoying enough seeing her everywhere on the big screen, now she's in games too.

Zlaja British actress who got her start as Eleven in Stranger Things, then acted in a bunch of other shows like Godzilla and Enola Holmes. Known to be pretty good at doing her signature Eleven scream and for only having 2 emotions on-screen.

The one allergic to potions is Triss, not Ciri.

 

[jaekl]

Wrong idiot, I read the scrolls of the ancient poles so I know a lot about the pretend universe and why they need to make ciri uglier

Anyone can subvert, it's the easiest thing in the world.

But only few could do it right

There's a reason why MCA is still considered to be top RPG writer despite numerous attempts to imitate his subversive style

My prediction is the Lynx school is a top secret group of sassy girl bosses with a serious attitude problem, and it is led by a very strict disabled lady who rides around in a wheelchair

 

[Necrensha]

I already predicted that there would be a super secret girl boss witcher school that can totally do the impossible task that the wolf school couldn't.

 

[Justicar]

We wuz norsca and shiet

 

[Fargus]

More like Cougar school and the ritual she went through was just botched plastic surgery.

They were the original witchers, full of diverse negroes and dykes before the evil white men(the real monsters) killed them and stole their secrets. That wahmen can't become witchers is a lie by the patriarchy as revenge for the menstrual leave the powerful girlbosses got!

 

[Quillon]

We wuz norsca and shiet

a few years for us but ciri spent 20 years hopping between universes and shit in that time

 

[Reinhardt]

didn't there was already some niggerflix show where first witcher was some laquanda?

 

[Yosharian]

Another thing that doesn't really make sense is that Ciri would stay/come back to this arse end of the timeline when she can just go to the future and stay there and enjoy flying cars and shit

Like sure I bet she was just itching to get back to fucking medieval land filled with retarded peasants and plague and shit

 

[Reinhardt]

flying cars

look outside, nigger. there is only

land filled with retarded peasants and plague and shit

They will do an episode or quest where she hops to cyberpunk universe

redditors would be amazed

 

[The Nameless One]

It's clearly laughing at TW4 being set to become the next Failguard

The funniest part is that normal women also don't like playing as women in action games. What I hear is "What if I want to be a badass guy, punching and shooting people? What if that's my fantasy?" or "I don't want my female character to be mid-looking, I want to make my character look like a heavily sexualized bimbo on high heels and pony tail dual wielding pistols, why am I not allowed to have my girl fantasy?"

I've seen this as well. Even they don't want to play games with ugly women.
