It's bad writting and character assassination. In Geralt's eyes Ciri was always a real witcher because she handled with the witcher code fighting for good and killing monsters. Geralt and Yennefer's training conditioned her for her destiny. She's fixed now in one role. But in the books she's described as unbound and goes through so many roles, a princess, a bandit, a witcher, a sorceress, not one rol fits her and that's who she is. The lady of time and space, she can be and go wherever she wants to go. By making her a true witcher her gen gets messed up and her elder powers are gone thus also her freedom. If the white frost returns the continent is fucked if she was indeed the only person carying the active gen with no one to save them now. Ciri as a protagonist is awesome. Making her something she does not represent is not.

I find it hilarious honestly, that after Concord, games like Avowed and Witcher 4 were being fairly well geared up for success... and then their own developers had to come out and torpedo their games. And in further irony, they'll turn around and blame us for the game failing... I say ironic, because I think they're actually right. I think we need to embrace the fact that we "chud gamers" DO have the power to kill a game. 😆
One of the many problems with woke people is that they are pretty stupid and believe in their bs 100%. So there will always be clear signs to identify the stench of what they are cooking
What do you wanna bet they'll do some lazy shit like "Her elder blood protected her during the trial of the grasses....at the cost of her godlike powers.....only a strand of her former strength remained, but she had done it. she had become the first woman ever to survive the trial of the grasses! she was a witcher now!"
I wish they could've made Ciri & Yenefer bond even closer in a separate title game since it's obvious Ciri is more on the magic side & mastering her elder blood powers should be the focus & Yenefer is the best teacher as her adoptive mother.
That'll show us... unfortunatelly the pushback "it's not DEI, what is woke?" and all that, will be quite substantial with this one. Hope they expose themselves more as we move along.
@@ComposedSage75 what didn't they respect? She has elder blood lol. She is a source. She wouldn't have any issues with trials. She's been fed and drank the herbs from vesimir growing up. Any magical properties in elixirs would be utilized because she is a source. It's been set up for her to be next protagonist. You don't know the lore you claim they broke.
@ dude it’s already clear that you’d buy this game no matter what anyone says cuz you’ve made it known multiple times already. We get it. You don’t know the lore or care to hear anyones reasoning so it’s pointless to continue with you.
@@ComposedSage75 I just explained my position. I don't see anything bad with what I have seen so far. Since when can't a source of elder blood not survive a conversion? Merely drinking a tonic will imbue the magic properties that others have to go through the trials for...people just cry woke and say it breaks more when it doesn't.
So why did they start a discussion on politics if they didn't want to discuss politics? This sounds like it should be illegal, baiting people into a conversation then punishing them for taking part, denying their freedom of speech. You don't just get to make political statements (like inserting politics into your game) and then shutdown all debate about it.
You seem to think that communist care if something keeps existing. Communist literally hold the belief that if it cannot be controlled for political efficacy than the thing should not exist at all. When will you normies learn.
Good. We're gamers. The Witcher is set in a world that isn't even ours. I play games to escape this world, my world and everything i don't like about it. It is the one place i can do that and the Witcher 3 is one of the most wonderful places to do it.
We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won't do harm - yes, choose a place where you won't do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.
@@NoOneGetzOutAlive I can't believe people are just figuring out that Steam has always had a hands off approach, letting developers and publishers self-moderate their subsections, basically however they want. I wish Valve would step in more and stop abusive, clearly overt politically motivated "moderation" But given the two sides of the same coin, I'd rather Valve just do nothing and let individual studios go mask-off and make it an easy choice to stop supporting that developer.
This is a legit problem with *ALL* of steam forums. I got banned from Destiny 2's discussion and almost from Satisfactory. Both of which tried putting strikes on my account for daring to air any criticism or divergent thought.
On one hand, I'm doubtful the changes Trump makes will be that impactful on the whole. On the other hand, I'm hopeful after all he's been though from the abusive hands of "platform owners" that he will go total scorched earth and make "MoDeRaTiOn" something that requires expert legal teams to do without risking lawsuits daily. No more free Twitter/Reddit loser "power mods" silencing more than half the country. No more half-assed intern banning all dissent of the company product. No you're going to need to hire people with great litigious minds that can act with decorum and respect for the communities they moderate. Ahhh That's my dream. Moderation that bans only what is strictly criminal speech, and only once it can be proven that it is criminally actionable. Hell, Trump's changes to the internet laws might actually make RUclips a great place, if he can punitively threaten their "guilty until proven innocent" approach to liability assessment. Sadly, I doubt my dreams will come true.
You think the guy who wants to "open up the libel laws", wants to deport pro Palestine protesters (and I've even heard him talk about deporting socialists and and communists too), he sued bill Maher over a joke, wants to remove the licences of the MSM (who I hate btw) for calling his election claims the big lie, and is now sueing journalists to scare them into not reporting on his bullshit, also didn't free assange or snowden or manning, wants to punish flag burning with jail time, i could go on but you think this guy cares about freedom of speech?😂 Maybe you'll get the reverse censorship where the right will get more freedom of speech and the left will get less, I actually care about freedom of speech so anyone from a communist to a far right neo nazi can say what they want as long as it's not a threath of violence or an incitement to violence/crime. But the right seems to say nothing when lefties get censored.
@@joeaverage9772 Youre completely undermining just how bad of a launch cyberpunk was, this is the same company that released W3. Sure they fixed the bugs, that much was okay, but they went above and beyond with the Phantom Liberty Update, release of Edgerunners, and a multitude of other things that really built back the good will of community. Look at other companies in the same situation, its a rare occurrence for them to produce not 1 but 2 highly perceived works and updates after such a massive failure
@@zrph1 None of what you said has actually happened here in reality. NOBODY went back to play CyberPunk after the devs ruined it during launch day. There was zero good will built back.
@ That is just plain false, Phantom liberty was so good and well praised that they were going to put a DLC for GOTY, the player count for 2.0+ Of cyberpunk was much much much higher than when it first came out and after the release of Edgerunners, if you ask anyone that played Cyberpunk on launch day and their opinion on CDPR, and then ask them their opinion after the release of Phantom Liberty and Edgerunners it’ll be a night and day difference
Gotta wonder if anyone with any sense and a bit of control over CDPR understands that their forum moderators are causing massive fatal damage to the fandom?
Somehow they dont follow their own ideology they are defending "DE I-nclusion", they are doing the opposite. Such moves only proves to the customer to not buy this product.
People at CDPR right now: "Curses! Just when you've finally managed to bring the whole world under your evil influence some pathetic little Inquisitor goes whining off to the Adeptus Terra about rogue psykers and daemonic possession. I mean, do I look possessed? Well, do I? DO I???" - Personal log of Lord Varlak, 995.M41 during the Purging of Korsk II, source: Codex: Witch Hunters (3rd Edition), pg. 40
Yep, the first part will be a long one getting you stuck with no refund chance before the bait and switch happens and you get maybe 40 hrs of gameplay mostly cut scenes and woke garbage thrown in.
My original post on the steam forum was me saying that "banning politics only when the critics are from one side of the political spectrum is not a fair thing to do" "if the critics were coming from angry leftist talking about sexism, they would not ban them" its a complete show of power from CDPR. They want to send the message that they really dont like the anti-woke people.
Ciri being set up as the next protag? If you read the books that makes no sense... hell, if you play the game to the end and get one of the endings - except ONE of them - it also makes no sense. Then again the White Frost being some kind of entity that can be stopped also makes no sense. I just ask you one question ... if Ciri being setup as the next protag is what you truly think... why has Sapkowski never written a single book with her as the main protagonist? Why is it always Geralt, the guy who does not save the world? Maybe look into that.
Ciri is an 'honorary' Witcher. I think is what you were getting at. And I agree, I figured Ciri would be the next main character. It makes sense, and i have no issues with that by itself. But I feel its a waste to shoehorn her into being a 'real witcher' when she has her own powers abilities that i feel would have been far more interesting to explore and use rather than just injecting the witcher abilities that we're used to. I felt like in W3 that she was fun to play with the limited abilities she did have and thought giving access to more of her bloodline abilities would have been cool. I would say "i dont know why they chose to do this" but i think i do. Because they want to keep riding the Witcher IP and they "cant have a witcher game without a witcher in it" as im sure they thought. Which is dumb. But yes, generally speaking, mods are drunk with power and use any excuse to wield that power.
Also, from what little the showed in the trailer, the writing seemed... not good. They made Ciri come off as angry and not experienced, but made her *look* like she has alot of experience. The personality doesn't match the look... unless the personality is a man hating activist brat.
She was a bad ass without the Witcher powers, which pretty much kills their 3rd game of even happening if she becomes one on top of all the lore they ruined. But making her weak starting out as a Witcher is a crazy way to push in a manly and uglier Cirilla
Not wanting to have political topics on their GAME forum isn't anything bad, grab your shit and gtfo somewhere else with your woke antiwoke assumptions. It's a game, it is suppose to entertain, tell a good story, help you spend a good time, and you all are making it your political playground. What about people who coming to this forum and just wanna have chill chat or a discussion? but all posts there are is about how CDPR gone woke, Ciri looks ugly despite poeple that says that can only use 1 frame of the trailer as a proof cause on every other shots she looks completely fine. I'm not proud of a guys like Cian Maher, after seeing his posts on twitter, but hes not a whole company and look at the final game first and then start spew venom
There is another huge angle people are missing. Ciri will loose her fertility becoming a Witcher. Witchers cant have kids. Part of the reason why Geralt can go have sex at will. Now, we have Yen and Geralt who were both infertile and had to adopt Ciri. Yen was even desperate trying to find some cure for herself. And this is what her daughter is going to do? Yen would be suicidal...... And Geralt would be pretty unhappy too. As for Ciri, they are basically saying her life will remain hell forever. She is never going to come around, find true love, build a family. How sad..... Ciri will be cat lady.... Woke terrible values! Witcher was all about family. Witcher 3 had a father / daughter dynamic at its emotional core.
Yeah the pattern is very obvious, we've seen it time and time again.. I think the level of cope is extra high in this case and people refuse to believe it because of how much people love the witcher, it's extra painful in this case to lose the witcher for wokness. Just imagine what will happen when the Elder scrolls 6 will be revealed with all the pronouns and top surgery scars and all that...
Yea, Ciri was reffered as a witcher due to her witcher training - swordsmanahip, monster knowledge and some alchemy (oils). There is no one who would want to subject Ciri to Trial of Grases that she trusts to actually perform it.
Does CDPR have a DEI department? Yes, and they are one of the worst. So the game should be avoided if you want this crap to go away for good. You will suffer what you are willing to tolerate.
It's so stupid because people would have LOVED a game based around Ciri so long as it was her own story and not a dumbass attempt to just turn her into a female witcher. Everyone loves her because we grew up playing as Geralt taking care of her like his daughter. Breaking lore to fit their dogshit lack of creativity is just insulting to the series.
Anytime you break and bend lore all around it drives away long time fans, but making it woke and not expecting the people they hate and want to cause harm to, cant even speak freely. I cant tell which woke company wants to go out first anymore lol.
All they had to do is name this game Ciri a Witcher Saga and make it a trilogy. She is already a bad ass there is no need to make her a Witcher for us to accept her. We already did that 10 years ago.
w0ke has crept into cdpr and its fanbase. while the witcher games were great and what cdpr did in the past was good, i'm not gonna die on the hill of w0ke defending or follow these companies, this is where we part ways. seems crazy cdpr would be happy losing so much fans over dei but they now make games for the investors and fans don't matter, they are positive they will find new ones...
What do you all make of this?

It's bad writting and character assassination. In Geralt's eyes Ciri was always a real witcher because she handled with the witcher code fighting for good and killing monsters. Geralt and Yennefer's training conditioned her for her destiny.

“Ban Gamers!” So who gonna buy and play the product? Thats like banning viewers from theaters!

So I'm replacing intergalactic with Exodus... And witcher 4 with Rebel Wolves game apparently
The customer has the ultimate power……..to buy or not to buy !
shes definitely gonna power through it like mods are powering through the ban button
Hope that Rebel Wolves Project doesn't turn into another Bait and Switch. So many Trojan Horses these Days.
CDPR is dead to me.
Sad, but that's what they are to me too now.
Starting major studio branches in North America is a huge red flag.
yeah this is not going to backfire in a really really big way
And another gaming studio is committing corporate self deletion.
No more money from me.
the fact most of us play the witcher 3 and when it came out, most of us love ciri, but now witcher 4 come out, they said we didn't like ciri that tell you most of the dev are either gone or woke
Yeah I wanted to play W3's Ciri and her different powers. But that would mean they had to become creative and that is verboten. Better to just turn Ciri into a girlboss that's 50% male. It's what the gays in the gaming industry loves.

Lol are you 100% sure it is the _culture war_ widening this gap you invented?
@@genkureshima9834I invented nothing wise ass. I dont have a channel like this and I also dont bashing gamers day and night on social media. I am an average gamer stuck between the two sides who only wants some good game to play with without stupid politics involved
This alone stops me from ever interacting with the company and their games ever again. I will never open my purse again. And I don't trust GOG anymore, because GOG is run by them as well. They've lost my trust completely today with this action. Congrats!
Oh okay so NOW they don't wanna discuss politics 🙄
They (/them) can discuss their court sentencing when the feds bust their down down.
Oh yeah, because that always works and never pisses off the community even more.
Dang....talking about going scorched earth. 2025 is gonna be LIT. 🔥

No buy.
Witcher will never be good again. FACT.😕
True (((
no game can be 100% with w0ke and dei in it, sadly
@@xjax8519 ))) very true indeed.
Witcher is honestly pretty mid if you're not addicted to lore and expanded universe stuff, so this is just making the pot worse
If they are impartial with their bans, sure. But just banning the opposers of their ideologies is a sure way to lose money
Company is dead
love how they just keep proving our point
I find it hilarious honestly, that after Concord, games like Avowed and Witcher 4 were being fairly well geared up for success... and then their own developers had to come out and torpedo their games.
And in further irony, they'll turn around and blame us for the game failing... I say ironic, because I think they're actually right. I think we need to embrace the fact that we "chud gamers" DO have the power to kill a game. 😆
One of the many problems with woke people is that they are pretty stupid and believe in their bs 100%. So there will always be clear signs to identify the stench of what they are cooking
What do you wanna bet they'll do some lazy shit like "Her elder blood protected her during the trial of the grasses....at the cost of her godlike powers.....only a strand of her former strength remained, but she had done it. she had become the first woman ever to survive the trial of the grasses! she was a witcher now!"
I wish they could've made Ciri & Yenefer bond even closer in a separate title game since it's obvious Ciri is more on the magic side & mastering her elder blood powers should be the focus & Yenefer is the best teacher as her adoptive mother.
They can ban who and whatever, but the cat is outta the bag, and thus, the game will flop.
That'll show us...
unfortunatelly the pushback "it's not DEI, what is woke?" and all that, will be quite substantial with this one. Hope they expose themselves more as we move along.
If they are banning everyone for politics, then that is fair... so when are they banning themselves from the game industry?
They should expect people to criticize the things they do considering they didn't respect the lore of the Witcher as well as the fans either.
They respect lore in every way. You are yust dumb to understand....
@@ComposedSage75 what didn't they respect? She has elder blood lol. She is a source. She wouldn't have any issues with trials.
She's been fed and drank the herbs from vesimir growing up.
Any magical properties in elixirs would be utilized because she is a source.
It's been set up for her to be next protagonist.
You don't know the lore you claim they broke.
@ dude it’s already clear that you’d buy this game no matter what anyone says cuz you’ve made it known multiple times already. We get it. You don’t know the lore or care to hear anyones reasoning so it’s pointless to continue with you.
@@ComposedSage75 I just explained my position. I don't see anything bad with what I have seen so far. Since when can't a source of elder blood not survive a conversion? Merely drinking a tonic will imbue the magic properties that others have to go through the trials for...people just cry woke and say it breaks more when it doesn't.
So why did they start a discussion on politics if they didn't want to discuss politics? This sounds like it should be illegal, baiting people into a conversation then punishing them for taking part, denying their freedom of speech. You don't just get to make political statements (like inserting politics into your game) and then shutdown all debate about it.
a spoiled brat also scream and run from a losing argument ...
Killing floor 3 has something going on too. I was banned on their Reddit for saying DEI and they were on stream with the CEO of sweet baby inc

They can continue this as long as they like until it snowballs into a financial desaster.
You seem to think that communist care if something keeps existing. Communist literally hold the belief that if it cannot be controlled for political efficacy than the thing should not exist at all. When will you normies learn.
Also,DEI pushers HATE lore!
It makes it so they can't have what they want!😊
Ban the moderators. Boycott CDPR. That guy was banned for saying obvious truth.,
Good. We're gamers. The Witcher is set in a world that isn't even ours. I play games to escape this world, my world and everything i don't like about it. It is the one place i can do that and the Witcher 3 is one of the most wonderful places to do it.
Witcher 1 and 2 is actually the best place to do it.
My comments got removed many times from their community posts on steam when I mentioned how their company sold out to the west lol
We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won't do harm - yes, choose a place where you won't do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.
So CD Projects controls speach on Steam? Never purchasing from Steam again.
Only on their forum
@@NoOneGetzOutAlive I can't believe people are just figuring out that Steam has always had a hands off approach, letting developers and publishers self-moderate their subsections, basically however they want.
I wish Valve would step in more and stop abusive, clearly overt politically motivated "moderation"
But given the two sides of the same coin, I'd rather Valve just do nothing and let individual studios go mask-off and make it an easy choice to stop supporting that developer.
This is a legit problem with *ALL* of steam forums. I got banned from Destiny 2's discussion and almost from Satisfactory. Both of which tried putting strikes on my account for daring to air any criticism or divergent thought.
We really need Trump of the Donald to revise Section 230 and ban any moderators to allow free speech to flourish on all platforms once again
On one hand, I'm doubtful the changes Trump makes will be that impactful on the whole.
On the other hand, I'm hopeful after all he's been though from the abusive hands of "platform owners" that he will go total scorched earth and make "MoDeRaTiOn" something that requires expert legal teams to do without risking lawsuits daily.
No more free Twitter/Reddit loser "power mods" silencing more than half the country. No more half-assed intern banning all dissent of the company product. No you're going to need to hire people with great litigious minds that can act with decorum and respect for the communities they moderate.
Ahhh That's my dream. Moderation that bans only what is strictly criminal speech, and only once it can be proven that it is criminally actionable. Hell, Trump's changes to the internet laws might actually make RUclips a great place, if he can punitively threaten their "guilty until proven innocent" approach to liability assessment.
Sadly, I doubt my dreams will come true.
You think the guy who wants to "open up the libel laws", wants to deport pro Palestine protesters (and I've even heard him talk about deporting socialists and and communists too), he sued bill Maher over a joke, wants to remove the licences of the MSM (who I hate btw) for calling his election claims the big lie, and is now sueing journalists to scare them into not reporting on his bullshit, also didn't free assange or snowden or manning, wants to punish flag burning with jail time, i could go on but you think this guy cares about freedom of speech?😂 Maybe you'll get the reverse censorship where the right will get more freedom of speech and the left will get less, I actually care about freedom of speech so anyone from a communist to a far right neo nazi can say what they want as long as it's not a threath of violence or an incitement to violence/crime. But the right seems to say nothing when lefties get censored.
So you think one activist will solve the problem of another?

Same failed tactics over, and over. Gamers are gonna cook this game, and the lesson will go right over their heads, again.
I'm really curious how they're going to spin her going through the trials, like how does she survive?
They’re destroying all the good will they made by fixing cyberpunk 2077, sad to see them go out like this
The people who earned all the good will have already left.
Which explains the lack of talent and principles.
Why would fixing a half finished game earn good will? At best it’s just damage control for their reputation.
@@joeaverage9772 Youre completely undermining just how bad of a launch cyberpunk was, this is the same company that released W3. Sure they fixed the bugs, that much was okay, but they went above and beyond with the Phantom Liberty Update, release of Edgerunners, and a multitude of other things that really built back the good will of community. Look at other companies in the same situation, its a rare occurrence for them to produce not 1 but 2 highly perceived works and updates after such a massive failure
@@zrph1 None of what you said has actually happened here in reality. NOBODY went back to play CyberPunk after the devs ruined it during launch day. There was zero good will built back.
@ That is just plain false, Phantom liberty was so good and well praised that they were going to put a DLC for GOTY, the player count for 2.0+ Of cyberpunk was much much much higher than when it first came out and after the release of Edgerunners, if you ask anyone that played Cyberpunk on launch day and their opinion on CDPR, and then ask them their opinion after the release of Phantom Liberty and Edgerunners it’ll be a night and day difference
CDPR needs to get a head of this fast. Every move thus far has been just fuel on a fire.
It’s already cooked.
Gotta wonder if anyone with any sense and a bit of control over CDPR understands that their forum moderators are causing massive fatal damage to the fandom?
They are 100% on this after running all the people off, and replacing them with Mary Kenny and other liberal activists in charge.
Somehow they dont follow their own ideology they are defending "DE I-nclusion", they are doing the opposite. Such moves only proves to the customer to not buy this product.
CDProjektRed is FUBAR, Fanboys just can't accept it 😂😂😂. I've seen this so many Times already.
witcher 4 can't be revealed its failures enough 😂
People at CDPR right now: "Curses! Just when you've finally managed to bring the whole world under your evil influence some pathetic little Inquisitor goes whining off to the Adeptus Terra about rogue psykers and daemonic possession. I mean, do I look possessed? Well, do I? DO I???"

Well, heres part of the future tutorial...
"hold right mouse button, to make Ciri use her witcher senses"
🤮
Yep, the first part will be a long one getting you stuck with no refund chance before the bait and switch happens and you get maybe 40 hrs of gameplay mostly cut scenes and woke garbage thrown in.
Ciri after she looked in the mirror to see her new design: 0:41
My original post on the steam forum was me saying that "banning politics only when the critics are from one side of the political spectrum is not a fair thing to do" "if the critics were coming from angry leftist talking about sexism, they would not ban them" its a complete show of power from CDPR. They want to send the message that they really dont like the anti-woke people.
The Witcher 5!! Ciri has a litter of Furries with Witcher powers so great that even a drag show cant hold them down!!! Get high and party!!!! 😅
Ciri being set up as the next protag? If you read the books that makes no sense... hell, if you play the game to the end and get one of the endings - except ONE of them - it also makes no sense.
Then again the White Frost being some kind of entity that can be stopped also makes no sense.
I just ask you one question ... if Ciri being setup as the next protag is what you truly think... why has Sapkowski never written a single book with her as the main protagonist? Why is it always Geralt, the guy who does not save the world? Maybe look into that.
Power and the money, money and the power, minute after minute, hour after hour
Censorship will backfire!
Ciri is an 'honorary' Witcher. I think is what you were getting at. And I agree, I figured Ciri would be the next main character. It makes sense, and i have no issues with that by itself. But I feel its a waste to shoehorn her into being a 'real witcher' when she has her own powers abilities that i feel would have been far more interesting to explore and use rather than just injecting the witcher abilities that we're used to. I felt like in W3 that she was fun to play with the limited abilities she did have and thought giving access to more of her bloodline abilities would have been cool.
I would say "i dont know why they chose to do this" but i think i do. Because they want to keep riding the Witcher IP and they "cant have a witcher game without a witcher in it" as im sure they thought. Which is dumb.
But yes, generally speaking, mods are drunk with power and use any excuse to wield that power.
Also, from what little the showed in the trailer, the writing seemed... not good. They made Ciri come off as angry and not experienced, but made her *look* like she has alot of experience. The personality doesn't match the look... unless the personality is a man hating activist brat.
She was a bad ass without the Witcher powers, which pretty much kills their 3rd game of even happening if she becomes one on top of all the lore they ruined. But making her weak starting out as a Witcher is a crazy way to push in a manly and uglier Cirilla
Not wanting to have political topics on their GAME forum isn't anything bad, grab your shit and gtfo somewhere else with your woke antiwoke assumptions. It's a game, it is suppose to entertain, tell a good story, help you spend a good time, and you all are making it your political playground. What about people who coming to this forum and just wanna have chill chat or a discussion? but all posts there are is about how CDPR gone woke, Ciri looks ugly despite poeple that says that can only use 1 frame of the trailer as a proof cause on every other shots she looks completely fine.
I'm not proud of a guys like Cian Maher, after seeing his posts on twitter, but hes not a whole company and look at the final game first and then start spew venom
They want to push their woke propaganda on us, and deny us to say anything..
Well, i simply deny them this by not buying their new game.. lol
Merry christmas Hypnotic I hope you have great holidays with the family and friends.
There is another huge angle people are missing.
Ciri will loose her fertility becoming a Witcher. Witchers cant have kids. Part of the reason why Geralt can go have sex at will.
Now, we have Yen and Geralt who were both infertile and had to adopt Ciri. Yen was even desperate trying to find some cure for herself.
And this is what her daughter is going to do?
Yen would be suicidal......
And Geralt would be pretty unhappy too.
As for Ciri, they are basically saying her life will remain hell forever. She is never going to come around, find true love, build a family.
How sad.....
Ciri will be cat lady....
Woke terrible values!
Witcher was all about family. Witcher 3 had a father / daughter dynamic at its emotional core.
I was wondering if they were banned for suggesting that Ciri can't be a witcher as her elven blood wouldn't withstand the trials?
Of course. They can't handle discussions that goes against their doctrines.
They’re in cahoots with Disney / Marvel…… Ciri is in a multiverse and an be a Witcher in another timeline to Witcher 1-3 smh 🙈🤦🤦♀🤦♂🙈
2025 is going to be the year of the zaniest class action lawsuits...
Yeah the pattern is very obvious, we've seen it time and time again.. I think the level of cope is extra high in this case and people refuse to believe it because of how much people love the witcher, it's extra painful in this case to lose the witcher for wokness. Just imagine what will happen when the Elder scrolls 6 will be revealed with all the pronouns and top surgery scars and all that...
Merry Christmas everyone!
Yea, Ciri was reffered as a witcher due to her witcher training - swordsmanahip, monster knowledge and some alchemy (oils).
There is no one who would want to subject Ciri to Trial of Grases that she trusts to actually perform it.
Censoring never goes smoothly
Does CDPR have a DEI department? Yes, and they are one of the worst.
So the game should be avoided if you want this crap to go away for good.
You will suffer what you are willing to tolerate.
It's so stupid because people would have LOVED a game based around Ciri so long as it was her own story and not a dumbass attempt to just turn her into a female witcher. Everyone loves her because we grew up playing as Geralt taking care of her like his daughter. Breaking lore to fit their dogshit lack of creativity is just insulting to the series.
Anytime you break and bend lore all around it drives away long time fans, but making it woke and not expecting the people they hate and want to cause harm to, cant even speak freely. I cant tell which woke company wants to go out first anymore lol.
EA is banning players for mild language. Now CDPR is banning people on forums. What happened to the gaming industry?
What they dont understand is that doing all this will just backfire.
All they had to do is name this game Ciri a Witcher Saga and make it a trilogy. She is already a bad ass there is no need to make her a Witcher for us to accept her. We already did that 10 years ago.
They make me laugh with their hypocritical bs : no politics as if these games weren't steeped in it.
Banning people from a game forum is a great way to show you are doing things wrong!😊
w0ke has crept into cdpr and its fanbase. while the witcher games were great and what cdpr did in the past was good, i'm not gonna die on the hill of w0ke defending or follow these companies, this is where we part ways. seems crazy cdpr would be happy losing so much fans over dei but they now make games for the investors and fans don't matter, they are positive they will find new ones...
