    Yeah it’s sad. I’ve also seen a lot of people crying because Ciri is just sooo boring. I’m guessing those either didn’t play or like W3.

    I will say I’m disappointed in the voice actor change as I liked the original VA, but any fan will get over that pretty quickly.

    Her facial shape or whatever does look slightly different from W3 Ciri in ways that don’t happen just with age but given the new engine and whatnot, who cares :) (also a Witcher goes through many physical changes so it fits lore-wise also)

    I wish she had sharper rather than rounder features to resemble her model in W3 closer, but I don’t see anything wrong with her new look, and anyone who does should probably touch grass.

    Also, I’m an inveterate enemy of the braid

    I’m soooo excited. Ciris whole story arc in the prior games. Now seeing her as an older adult.

    I know this post is about the toxicity of people. But I’m excited, that’s all.

    I find her extremely well made, kinda like I imagined when reading the book: full of scars, beefy, and angry at the stupidity of tradition (recurring theme in the books)

    She looks 40, now as a 30 year old I couldn’t have less of a problem. At this stage of my life I prefer my women to look like they’ve been an adult for a while.

      Oh, it is not. It is on par with the book.

      The book is faaaaaar more psychotic than the movie.

          You like Huey Lewis And The News?

          Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip To Be Square”. A song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also a personal statement about the band itself.

    Witcher 4 comments are bad, but Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is getting a lot worse heat. You would think that a new IP by renowned devs who have not made a single bad game would be hype.

      They’re exceptionally upset that the rough-and-tumble female bounty hunter lead character of the 80’s cassette-retro-futurism sci-fi action game isn’t some generic-looking 80’s supermodel type, instead of someone who you’d actually expect to be a space-bounty hunter. I have no doubt Naughty Dog has made another banger game, but sexist coomers are gonna be sexist coomers, and there’s not a whole lot you can do for them.

        Yeah, like when was there ever a heroine in 80s action sci fi that was a no-nonsense rough & tumble ass-kicking type? I can’t think of a single one, let alone multiple iconic characters that headlined my favourite movies from the era.

    I’m more worried about her having mutation potions (and them working instantly, but that’s more expected), they better have a damn good reason for her body not melting

      They pretty explicitly make it sound like she underwent Witcher mutations in the meantime. How that happens, I have no idea, maybe it’ll be a plot point in the game? If they hand-wave it away I’ll be disappointed

        Yeah I was also wondering as soon as I saw her cat-like eyes… Thought it’s not possible anymore but let’s see. Hopefully they’ll explain it

          And even if it was possible, why would it be done to her given the high mortality rate of that ritual?

          Wasn’t one of the endings of Witcher 3 that Ciri goes through the trial of the grasses and becomes a witcher? Seems pretty damn possible to me.

            I can’t remember but I thought that for the Witcher ending I had she didnt go through the trials. I mean one reason is iirc that there is noone knowing how to do it.

              What’s a couple decades with a dying witcher school, the world’s most powerful sorceresses and the ability to teleport to the dimension where magic was birthed?

              I’m pretty sure Yenn or Triss mention how trivial it would be for them to figure out the potions and transmutations required to make the trials happen but the Witchers are very, very against an outsider touching it all. The original plans were made by a sorceress in any case.

              I’m sure they’ll have a perfectly reasonable way of explaining how she went through the trials.
