Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"

  All of those games’ characters are essentially just mascots though (other than samus). So they’re not really an applicable comparison for continuing a character long term in a story focused world that tries to be somewhat grounded in terms of consequences and passage of time.

  Yeah I think we all know what he meant when he said “can”

    Pisses me off really. At best it’s few centuries of peace and negligence.

  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.

    Geralt could go on a Gwent tour… but what’s this? Upon entering this new land of Walachia, some bandits stole his Gwent deck while he was asleep in his camp. And he had the ultra rare nude Triss card in it, too! Open, The Witcher 4: a quest for cards.

    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.

      I’d be down for Witcher 4: Winedew Valley

        Honestly, as a stopgap that just releases out of nowhere for the sole purpose of building hype for the actual Witcher 4, kinda like how Bethesda did with their random vault dweller mobile game, I’d be all for it.

        Bonus points if it’s 16 bit.

    I felt similar about people wanting MC back in Halo.

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

    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 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.

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