For me it's like comfort food. I don't want some fancy deconstructed or new interpretation of meatloaf and mashed potatoes; I want more meatloaf and mashed potatoes!I feel like this story could be picking up from one of the ending choices of W3, where Ciri basically becomes a witcher herself, so it does have that connection and ample room to tell a new story.
Indeed, that's why they are so spicy. A love interest takes all that energy and time.Incels are upset about everything. Should probably get laid, chill out a little
Heck no. Her adventures are just getting started.. It feels like Ciri's story was heavily intertwined with Geralt, and it feels like her story is as done as his is after the events of W3.
I would not be getting much rest...No pulling Geralt out of retirement either, let the man rest at his vineyard with his hot goth gf.
As a lifelong combat sportsman and martial artist; White belt is a long long long ways from Shodan where I come from. That's how the combat is: the basic are always the basics, but mastery of them along with all of the other physical, mental, and emotional tools you develop over years of hard training elevate them exponentially in their effectiveness. I think of the magic as tokui waza. Long story short; I love that you have to earn the skills to pay the bills.Witcher combat always suffered from having a lot of basic combat mechanics hidden behind leveling and upgrades. The game feels and plays a lot different at level 1 vs level 25 vs level 50 because you have so many more tools in your toolkit at higher levels.
For me it's the Trial of Grasses issue. No Female & No Adult has survived the trial, yet in the trailer she apparently has. They need to explain that one without the magic of "these are not the droids you are looking for" handwaving or sloppy Rings of Power "because we said so" kind of explanation. Elven blood would also be a lore breaking thing, since there are no non-human Witchers.Incels are upset about everything. Should probably get laid, chill out a little
That said I was hoping for a game that allowed some character customization (have a strongly written central character, but let me customize their face/gender). A new character disconnected and distant from the OG witcher trilogy. It feels like Ciri's story was heavily intertwined with Geralt, and it feels like her story is as done as his is after the events of W3.
Alternatively, I was hoping that if we got Ciri, we got an expansion on her existing abilities in Witcher 3 instead of her somehow losing those abilities and just becoming a Witcher. Obv they'd have the be rebalanced a bit, but again something a little different.

Yeesh.
It's not exactly difficult to come up with an explanation that fits the fictional facts. For example:
They (Geralt / Yennifer / other) concocted a modified 'trial of grasses' that would work with her. It worked great, and its modified nature explains away any other modifications they've made to her witchery abilities, plus why not work in some complications and thus provide some extra fodder for character depth/development.
Questions like this remind me of a Star Trek nerd once asking the writers of TNG the question: "How does the warp drive work?" The answer: "Very well, thank you".
It is literally one of the endings for Witcher 3, she becomes a witcher. Why does she even need to go through the trial? Maybe her elder blood makes it moot.For me it's the Trial of Grasses issue.
