The opinions here are like people saying they don’t want to play as Zero in Megaman X4 because it was clunky in X3. Chill out, they are not copy pasting it for a dedicated game.

It’s gonna disappoint

BetaBlake ,

I hope not, but that’s the problem with releasing a game every 10 years, is that it can never live up to the hype

I’ve said it many times before but Letho would be my pick. Very nuanced character, big protagonist energy, CDPR original content so they don’t have to worry about lore as much. Also an even better character than Geralt if you want to really lean into the morally grey side of the Witcher universe.

I thought they were pretty clearly setting up Ciri to take the mantle in W3.

I definitely see parts of it - at least narratively - but I think having Ciri as a full protagonist poses a lot of problems. Either you have to explain away her powers somehow - or you lean into it and end up with moving away from the Witcheriness. You’ll have no Witcher senses, no potions, no signs and instead have a bunch of magic (not to mention teleportation and time travel).

yeah I don’t really see either of those options as problematic. quite common to explain away powers in RPG sequels, and CDPR might very well want to go in a different gampleay direction than Witcher combat.

That’s fair. I think - behind a new customisable Witcher protagonist - Ciri is most likely simply because of name recognition and the value it carries into promoting the game.

My talk of Letho is only a personal pipe dream.

FrostyCaveman ,

I killed him back in The Witcher 2 haha

One thing I loved about the original three games - through save importing you could have a line of unbroken continuity (with only a few strange abrupt departures from the narrative… )

Please please please let it be Lambert and Keira Metz squabbling all over the continent as they track something stupid.

Lambert: “Hurry up Keira, or we’ll never get to town before the Nightwraiths come out!”

Keira: “Well maybe if we took the actual ROAD and not walked through this field I wouldn’t have stepped in a massive cow pie!”

Lambert: “Uh, Keira? That’s way too big to be made by a cow…”

roar of a nearby Chort

Keira and Lambert look at each other

in unison, “RUUUUUN!”

You should go write for CDPR. I’m already invested in this storyline.

filister ,

Agree

DarkThoughts ,

I'd hope a "faceless" character like V in Cyberpunk that you can customize to your liking. I always struggle with RPGs that have predefined characters, because they often kinda go against what in my mind would be a possible personification in that world, and that potential clash makes me struggle with immersing myself in it.

JimmyMcGill ,

Yea, playing as a no name witcher, doing Witcher things would be cool af

Nuke_the_whales ,

It’s clearly gonna be Ciri

nicepool ,

I’d hope not, playing as Ciri sucked in Witcher 3.

Have a nice day!

acosmichippo ,

they can easily tweak the mechanics to suit a whole game. And it’s a Witcher RPG, the combat will be heavily customizable anyway.

delicious_justice ,

So agree. Playing as Ciri was so clunky and took me out of the groove.

filister ,

That would be a very predictable and boring choice. I truly hope it is someone else, like Lambert, Eskel, Letho or Vesimir.
