re: The Witcher 4 Reveal Trailer

My man I generally like you most times but you’re losing this battle. Sapkowski novels are literally overflowing with powerful female characters both in hard and soft power. Geralt is far from the most powerful person in the world. Ever heard of a guy called Vilgefortz who beats the shite out of him, then turns a higher vampire into literal blobs of matter before geralt only kills him thanks to….a token given to him by fringilo vigo I think.

You’re using semantics because the Witcher’s of the wolf called her Witcher same way men serving in the army together may called on another brothers. Again I’m not weighing in on ciri or the game just pointing out you’re typing a lot and losing

Let me pose you the question this way then. Ciri is unarguably the most powerful person in that universe and most of fiction already. What possible need could she have to take the trials? And more importantly what motivation could the devs have behind making her a full blown Witcher knowing all this?

I mean I know all this. I hypothesized as such on the literal first page one of the things you mentioned. You didn’t answer my question. Either part of it. No where did I ask how they would would pull it off

Ok I grant you and I agree with the fact if you intend on making ciri main character her power must be scaled back I’ve said it a lot in this thread. Why must it specifically be scaled back to match a witchers power though and why can’t she have her own form of powers that are a mix of her Witcher training without the mutations and her ability as a conduit for magic? The answer is of course 1) before anything else, marketing

Yes that’s the best ending, but she doesn’t actually take the mutations in that ending. She becomes a Witcher on the path using her own powers and years of training under Witchers. Which is what we all wanted:

I think a lot of fans wanted "something more"

I bought the thronebreaker game but it wasn't anything like getting Witcher 4. I just hope they can match the level of the narratives in Witcher 2 and 3 and do as well with Ciri dialog as Geralt

Lol it’s laughable you’re dying on this hill. Look up a studio named rebel wolves led by the director of Witcher 3, head writer at Witcher 3 (who you claimed was still at cdpr), and other senior staff driven out of cdpr. The name rebel wolves should be pretty damn spot on.

To use the new community notes function to your numbers: Witcher 3 amazingly was made in roughly 3 years at 80milliom. It began full production with 135 full time in house talent scaling up to 250 6 months from going gold. You’re almost certainly conflating the technically possibly 1000s who “worked” on the game via out sourcing, voice acting, etc etc but not what he considered key talent. Cdpr has been gutted badly. You can hate that or love it by you need to accept it.

That studio rebel wolves (love the play on word of geralt being a wolf and they were are blacklisted from cdpr) I have very high hopes for. Check out their website

Rebel Wolves is a new studio, but our team has years of experience working on some of the most critically acclaimed video games of all times. We co-created titles such as “The Witcher 3”, “Cyberpunk 2077”, and many others. We decided to create our own studio and run it on our own terms. Chief among them: the team comes first, always. Happy people make great games – games players want and deserve. Yes, it’s as simple as that.

Oh yeah the ceo he’s a trustworthy guy remember how awesome he told us cyperpunk would be on launch then had to make a hostage apology video? His job is to market the game, not produce the truth.

Oh and btw guys have no hype for the remake of Witcher 1 remake. For those that don’t know it’s a 100% fully outsourced cash grab giving a no name study near full creative control

There is little value to arguing with this kid. He is just trying to run out the clock and get the last word.

All he wants is to be the defender of big corpos and the anti-anti-woke clown.

He has never read any of the books, and just scans reddit for points.

Look, for example, at his last response to me. I never said Ciri couldn't be a Witcher, just not a traditional witcher who goes through all the trials. He doesn't want to argue that, so he is strawmanning me as saying, she can't be considered a Witcher by characters in the book.

The whole thing reeks of a kid who just doesn't want to lose, so he will keep nit picking and strawmanning to avoid the devastatingly fatal action of *gasp* being wrong on the interwebs.

There is a reason LITERALLY nobody is backing him up, or agreeing with him. He will keep posting the same completely wrong stuff long after you get bored with him, and he will chalk that up as a win. I say let him. Everyone knows his schtick by now.

The only way to make kids like that learn, is to just stop responding to them, and let them skyscream into the void.

Just my advice, do what you want though.

Dude, you’re a contrarian troll in every forum you post on here.
