      What happened to him in the end? I remember her sacrificing herself to the winter, but all I remember is Geralt living and then the post game DLC. Maybe I got the really weird ending, haha

      There were multiple possible endings for both Geralt and Ciri, including endings where Ciri survives.

        How in the heck would Ciri not be the main character after the events of Witcher 3? Did anyone actually think she wouldn’t be?

          The difference is that none of those characters had their stories wrapped up.

          Geralt's story was wrapped up in Witcher 3. That was the whole point.

          They need to release a fake "Witcher 4" that's just an older Geralt moping around his vineyard bitching about how his knees hurt. All of his quests would be things like pestering his workers about how badass he used to be, going to town to return a watermelon to the fruit vendor because of a mushy spot he didn't notice when he purchased it, shit like that.

          All the while, the townsfolk would slip idle chatter about crazy shit that Ciri's doing off camera.

            Witcher 4 starts off with Geralt waking up realising witcther 3 was all a dream and he has plenty of story left to monitize.

              If you’re avoiding the first two Witcher games because they’re somehow not cinematic, you’re sorely mistaken.

              Both of those games are incredibly atmospheric to the point of mastery. (tbf you have to be able to forgive the character models in the first game and that can be admittedly difficult because HOLY HELL ZOLTAN ARE YOU OKAY)

              also wtf do you mean “masculine indulgences?”

              Definitely not OP, but I wouldn't mind remasters of the first game to address the wonky controls. Witcher 2 was fine, but trying to go from Witcher 3 back to Witcher 1 for the first time was not a great experience for me.

                    As long as they remake the original Witcher(and maybe the 2nd one too) so i can experience it in a similarly cinematic way to The Witcher 3... I will be happy and excited to see what a Ciri-based game or even trilogy would look like.

                    Will definitely miss the masculine indulgences of TW3 in the Ciri game though...

                    They are remaking the first game, but I don't know if there are enough details about it yet to know how extensive the overhaul will be. The second game doesn't need one.

                      There were multiple endings depending on the choices you make throughout the game. Same for the two DLCs.

                      The 'good' endings were in the base game she confronts the winter and succeeds, returns to Geralt as a father figure, and lives on as a witcher. Then in the Blood & Wine DLC, Geralt basically retires in his own vineyard.

                              Woke did not exist before 2015, so everything created before that year is, in fact, absolutely based. Including all those apolitical masterpieces I grew up with, such as Metal Gear Solid and Bioshock. I wish they still made fun games instead of insisting on shoving leftist commentary down out throats. I really want to enjoy gaming again but developers are woke leftists now 😞

                              Lucky for us, the glorious Nippon country is untouched by woke. No, I don't know Japan and I've never visited it, but i play a lot of VNs, which is basically the same thing.

                              EDIT: In case it wasn't clear... /s

                              the massive increase of "woke" by conservative began around the time trumps 1st term, it only amplyfied just befored the pandemic, and during the pandemic. when disney shows, movies, trek made all these right wingers all uncomfortable.

                                conservatives use it to shut down arguements, of things that they are potentially wrong about, which includes everything they dont like. but mostly refers to traditional male and female roles(no lgbtq+)

                                  "You can't just have Geralt for every single game."

                                  I mean... Yes. You literally can.

                                  Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby... You can create infinite video games with the same main character over and over again. Its like an infinite money glitch if the character is popular and well liked.

                                      Yeah. The controls, the fighting. Even with all the patches and community stuff laid on top, it was a bit too uncomfortable to actually play through for me.

                                      The second one was brilliant. And to this day, despite me having almost 200 hours in Witcher 3, the only Witcher game I’ve actually finished. I think second’s format was perfect. 3 is just too open and beautiful, I get lost in wandering around too easily.

                                        Wait, so are you the one who did this?

                                        Maybe I spend too much time here because I knew what that was before I clicked it

                                          Woke did not exist before 2015, so everything created before that year is, in fact, absolutely based. Including all those apolitical masterpieces I grew up with, such as Metal Gear Solid and Bioshock. I wish they still made fun games instead of insisting on shoving leftist commentary down out throats. I really want to enjoy gaming again but developers are woke leftists now 😞

                                          Lucky for us, the glorious Nippon country is untouched by woke. No, I don't know Japan and I've never visited it, but i play a lot of VNs, which is basically the same thing.

                                          EDIT: In case it wasn't clear... /s

                                          If Legend of Zelda first came out today, you can bet your ass these people would be complaining about Link not being 'manly' enough.
