The Witcher Game Series

Deus Exica said:
Because they NEED her to be the protagonist of the sequel for DEI money but know that nobody wants to buy The Witcher to play 'The Witcher but actually she is a universe hopping dyke.'

The fantasy of the series is about being a lowly monster hunter tangling with powerful foes borderline above your pay grade. You can't do that when Ciri can dimension hop to the Cyberpunk Universe, get a smart shotgun, and blast everything she encounters to smithereens.

Mark my words, she will have undergone the trial but survived due to her elder blood. In exchange she can no longer use her powers. Now she will be just Geralt with a vagina.

This is why they should have just made it a custom character.

We should just go back in time and play as Vesemir as newly witcher and see things from his perspective. The custom character angle could be cool since it would let us choose a school although that would require the game to turn into a prequel of sort which im not against. Honestly at this point is just sit and watch how shit develops and hopefully maybe theyll have a pretty good explanation and make shit work or they will slowly sink

For anyone planning on replaying the games and hasn't done it yet, I'd really recommend trying out the Polish voice overs. The cast is fantastic and are actually consistent across the trilogy (whereas the English cast constantly changes everyone but Geralt). Also, a dedicated modder made a mod for every part of the trilogy that fixes bugs and restores content.

100% agreed about the Polish voice acting, it really helps to immerse you in the world.
Would you be so kind as to link the mods you're referring to?

She was in books. And her lesbianism was defense mechanism, which she dropped when it became unnecessary. Also, in books, her dyke lover(an older woman, in case you are wondering) got killed and decapitated by bounty hunter

True, but the games obviously follow a separate canon from the books anyway.

In the books after Geralt and Yennefer die Ciri just says fuck it and peaces out to a different universe entirely like Rick Sanchez.

For better or worse CDPR has been doing their own thing.

I really hope they don't nerf her.

People keep saying that but it's more of a side grade when I thought about it some more.

Ciri is extremely powerful in TW3 but she's also a normal human in the sense that she ages normally, can be wounded quite easily, and her power extends to her magic only, her physical strength is the same as a normal woman.

As a Witcher she'd have superhuman strength, reflexes, senses, and an enhanced healing factor.

The healing and endurance is a really big deal, she probably wouldn't be able to hunt monsters effectively if she had her TW3 powers and abilities.

Tl'dr Ciri as a mutated Witcher is retarded lorewise but I understand why they did it.

CDPR have been doing their own thing since literally the first game. The entire thing from start to finish is a retcon. They have a pretty decent writing team (main story being their weak point) so I am sure they can find a halfway decent reason to explain her being a Witcher with Witcher abilities.

I think I got like 4 books in(not counting the short story collections which are actually decent, besides that one cuck fetish story) before Ciri and moping Geralt just made me stop reading because of how obnoxious they were.
CDPR absolutely salvaged the Witcher as an IP before they went full retard themselves.

This too, the books actually sort of suck. The main stories of both Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine are significantly better written and more engaging than the original works.

Most people glassing up the books have not read them or if they did they read the short story collections which have better writing than the novels.

She's an anime-protagonist teenage girl acting as a self-insert for female readers. TBF she IS but a dumb pissaint with plot powers everyone important is obsessed with, or everyone wants to fuck.

You're lucky; 5th book is 100 pages of Ciri mucking around in the High Elf kingdom that's interesting, 50 pages of Ciri flirting with FUCKING GALAHAD (yes, that guy from Arthurian legend) and 400 pages of clumsy attempts to tie all the subplots and one hit wonder-characters from the previous 4 books. Geralt's party members get killed by mooks, Sapkowski wakes up from his vodka trance to remember that prophecy about Geralt and Coen he wrote 2000 pages ago so they both die like bitches because the plot demands it.

Couldn't she just insta kill a monster by sending it through a portal to some hell dimension? Not really a side grade.

Does Project Mersey for Witcher 1 work with FCR?

Not natively. Looks like you have to edit/delete a few things to get it to work. From the comments:
Full Combat Rebalance: This mod has quite a few conflicts with FCR, unfortunately. FCR is controversial and not to everyone's tastes, but it is a must have for me. FCR has the same item stacking change as this mod, and so I deleted the basitems.2da file from this mod. FCR also revised the Journal.2da file, as well as the template file for the dentist (q9027_dentist.utc). Note that Return of the White Wolf also edits that same dentist template, but ROTWW has a patch for FCR you can select when installing it. I compared the Journal.2da files of FCR and this mod using a compare plugin for Notepad++ and the differences appeared relatively minor. I attempted to edit the FCR version to implement this mod's changes, and then deleted the Journal.2da file from this mod. Fingers crossed it will work! I decided that I had to delete this mod's changes to the dentist template as I couldn't run a compare to try merging this mod's changes with FCR and ROTWW. It'd be nice to have storage in Act V, but I'm used to planning around that anyway.

A lot of people are still in the denial phase right now.
All of the warning signs are there, the more we see of the game, the worse it will get.

Braindead subhumans call every female protagonist a fucking "girlboss". This word has no meaning. It's just microdick seething. She is neither fat nor does she look like a dyke. Your brain is rotting from all the yellow gook cartoon shit where every woman looks like a bug eyed child creature and sounds like a pig that's being gutted.

The dude who created the Dragon Age 4 woke thread 6 years ago is even here coping.
