Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9533126" data-attributes="member: 18">I assume you didn't finish Witcher 3 and/or got the [ISPOILER]Ciri dies[/ISPOILER] or [ISPOILER]Ciri becomes Empress[/ISPOILER] endings? Because Ciri becoming a witcher with Geralt's help is very strongly hinted at in the other ending (I don't consider this a spoiler given this is discussion of a trailer where an older Ciri is a witcher lol).It's a trailer, this is not a reasonable criticism.Assumption, and let's be real, Ciri has far more brains than Geralt ever had, so probably has a much better grasp on whether this is actually true in this context. Even if it is, what's the complaint? How is this bad? This sort of thing is a major subject of the Witcher games - Geralt absolutely can and has chosen to do similar.It's a trailer, this is not a reasonable criticism.Particularly not when the super-cautious, ultra-prepared way is absolutely not how TW2 or TW3 play. Whereas it was how TW1 played - but no doubt will NOT be how the TW1 remake plays.This is a more reasonable criticism lol, the impact is definitely reduced by it being so generically "Unreal trailer"-looking.Exactly. Without knowing the context, there's very little one can say here, and I doubt CDPR will have screwed up the story of a Witcher game, honestly. Their ideas are generally a lot strong than the fan-fiction-y ideas fans have.My only disappointment is that it's Ciri not a create-your-own-witcher as it had been long-rumoured to be. Ciri is cool, and better her than forcing Geralt out of retirement, but I feel like create-your-own would have allowed them to do a ton more with the story. Interestingly CDPR confirmed they'd never planned it to be create-your-own, despite the pretty strong rumours, and had picked Ciri as the main character early on (makes sense given one of the TW3 endings). Interestingly they've said in an interview that any of the three endings of TW3 will be accounted for, which is er, surprising.One thing I'm surprised I've not seen mentioned is that Ciri is not Wolf school like Geralt, but rather Lynx school (a school of which we know little), which suggests to me her main training as a witcher wasn't from Geralt.</blockquote>
