    I thought that was the expectation?

    They introduced us to a younger Witcher that the Geralt was training, Geralt’s story came to an end…

    It felt like that’s what they were intentionally setting up, a totally Ciri-focused next game.

      I’ve only played a few minutes of Witcher 3 so far and even I know Ciri is an apprentice to Geralt! I said to myself, “I don’t know who these people are yet but I guess she’ll be the main character in a sequel.”

    Lets just wait for the backlash from the right for making the game woke by having a female protagonist

    That and Geralt’s story got a natural end in Blood and Wine, and it would be stupid to bulldoze that.

      That ending really left an impact on me. There was just something about it, having spent so many hours, seeing that ending made me just go wow

    Because the dude saved the world like nine times already. He filled up his punch card and gets to retire now.

    Because they can? Because it makes sense? Anyone questioning the choice has obvious motives.

      I think this is one case that will bring everyone together, since I don’t know a person, woke or not, that hate Ciri.

      The only worry might be that they might write Ciri as a Mary sue, but so far CDPR writing dept has been top notch, so I am very optimistic about this

      If by stunt you mean, “discusses how the character has been set-up as the natural replacement with games media interviewer”… then sure, stunt.
