I’m really annoyed with the decision to turn Ciri into a witcher for the new game. It breaks the established lore, raises a ton of questions as to whhhhy and how this even happened, and completely misses the point of the established story, which makes clear that being a witcher is awful and not something anyone does or even should want.
The developers have said the goal of this new saga is to appeal to new fans, so they have deliberately broken away from established lore to do so. When has that ever worked? Ciri as the protagonist makes sense, but turning her into a female Geralt is just dumb.
Yes yes, I know all we have is one cinematic trailer and some interviews, but the direction is still bad regardless of whatever ham fisted reason they come up with to justify it.
