@NathWhiteGull @SvensationalGuy 2/2 Attempting to weaken Ciri primarily for gameplay reasons and turn her into a second version of Geralt is a huge mistake. She is something more – a NEW Witcher.

@NathWhiteGull @SvensationalGuy 1/2 Everyone will have to decide for themselves whether CDPR's idea is convincing. Personally, unfortunately, I'm not convinced. Unless CDPR tells this story better than Sapkowski, which I doubt. Mutating Ciri would be a crime against the character we know from the books.

Concerning about TW4 lore ? Look this

@SvensationalGuy @NathWhiteGull So, I fully agree that Ciri is a witcher. That's obvious. The problem is that CDPR still wants to mutate her in W4. Why? She doesn't need it. Ciri is the legendary Child of Destiny, who won't have to undergo any Trials of the Grass👇

@NathWhiteGull for People who have only Played the Games. I just finished the main story of the witcher 3. Grealt, yen and ciri mention that ciri is witcher multiple times

@NathWhiteGull @patient3333 Ciri is more than just a political agenda or progressive thinking. The depth of this character goes beyond that.

Eso depende del concepto de politicas modernas. Los libros de Sapkoswi tocan temas bastante polemicos para la decada en los que fueron escritos y ahora con el auge de la radicalización politica pueden resonar un poco más, ya que Ciri es un personaje bastante interesante y complejo en su forma de pensar y actuar, si toman al personaje de los libros para hacer el juego claramente. De ser así dudo que sea un juego para tí, ya que CDPR también tiene aspectos muy progresistas.

She deserves her own saga; she is a witcheress, and yes… she’s bi. I don’t care much about romances in games, but slaying monsters, quests with gray morality where no matter what you do nothing is entirely right, and political intrigue… that’s what I’m eagerly looking forward to.

@NathWhiteGull Her greatness is undeniable; this greatness is born on the pages of books, and I deeply believe that it transcends them into our reality. She is something more. She is one of the greatest heroines of pop culture. x.com/TorusDrako/sta…

Hasta mi último respiro, hasta que mi alma abandone este plano !!! Así de sencillo. Significa mucho para mi lo que representa. No tanto por el juego sino por los libros.

@shuunnico @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber You have no idea how bad this justification is. Well, this "meta reason" seems to be the only one.

@TorusDrako @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber As I said before, it's entirely possible Ciri is exposed to some toxin or drug that is going to kill her and Geralt/Yen had to make the difficult decision to save their daughter through the trials. That itself is not a bad justification, nor a bad story idea.

Witcher 4 facts you might've missed #4 Ciri undergoing the Trial of the Grasses will be a huge deal in The Witcher 4. Narrative director Philipp Weber commented on fellow Witcher fan Wera's YouTube channel. December 20, 2024

@shuunnico @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber So why the idea of ​​mutating Ciri? It's a desire to remove the Elder Blood and attempt to create a witcher in the old-fashioned way. It's nonsense. Ciri is 100% a witcher, a Child of Destiny who doesn't need to undergo Trials. This is canon in the books. She's the NEW witcher.

@TorusDrako @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber Who says that it's being removed entirely? The Bauk says that Ciri trying to outrun her fate is foolish. You're just automatically making assumptions because you don't like the idea, not because the idea is inherently bad.

@shuunnico @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber Any attempt to mutate Ciri would be doomed to failure. The Elder Blood isn’t just some ordinary element that can be removed on a whim. It is an integral part of Ciri. The idea of mutating Ciri to get rid of the gene is a crime against this character

@TorusDrako @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber Oh, so if the books do not say it directly, then it's fair game. Like innumerable reasons for Ciri to go through the mutations because the books do not explicitly cross off every reason for her potentially choosing/having to do so.

@shuunnico @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber Do the books say that Geralt and Yennefer died?

@TorusDrako @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber If you're going to bang on about respecting the books, then you've already failed because the trilogy itself ignores the books with the premise; that Geralt and Yennifer survive.

@shuunnico @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber The problem is that CDPR claims to respect the source material, i.e., the books. The idea of ​​subjecting Ciri to mutation is a crime, comparable to the nonsense we got in the Netflix series.

@TorusDrako @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber Yes, in continuing the story and creating new plot lines, they can, in fact, invent new reasons for things to happen that do not happen in the books. Because it's their storyline now, not canon to the books, and so they can set up and pay off things of their own creation.

@shuunnico @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber Everyone agrees that the White Frost is the weakest element of W3's plot. CDPR failed to explain what the White Frost is and why Ciri must fight it. The same will be true with the idea of ​​Ciri mutating. It's pure nonsense.

@TorusDrako @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber "Invention" and the entirety of the Ciri plotline in W3, including the defeat of the White Frost, is an invention of CDPR. The entire trilogy is an invention of CDPR because it revives Geralt and Yennifer.

@shuunnico @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber This is an example that may prove the rule. It is based on facts from books, not invention.

@TorusDrako @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber You don't need to powerscale the two. One instance of the Elder Blood resisting something that Geralt can't doesn't mean that is true for everything. If memory serves, Ciri has been drugged before and she can't safely consume witcher potions.

@shuunnico @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber The Elder Blood gene is more powerful than Witcher mutations. A good example of the Elder Blood gene's power is the Water of Brokilon, which had no effect on Ciri and felled Geralt.

@TorusDrako @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber We don't know why she went through the trials. There are several reasons she could've, ranging from it could've been a way to save her life from some affliction to her intentionally sterilizing herself to try and free herself from the Elder Blood.

@shuunnico @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber That's not the point, my friend. Ciri is 100% a witcher (her gene + training + her final choice on the steps of Stygga Castle), but she's not Geralt, she's more than that! She doesn't have to go through any Trials👇

@TorusDrako @WitchersLibrary @PhiWeber It doesn't. The book and games never say that women can't become witchers, just that they don't select women for the trials. The best we have is that in the early stages of testing, the few girls they tested on died, compared to the 70%+ death rate for boys.

@h_kedzierski @GM20198114 @WitcherVerse_ W sadze jest już postacią najważniejszą, Geralt schodzi powoli na drugi plan. Wieża jaskółki i Pani jeziora to już przede wszystkim Ciri. Poza tym jest ona tak naładowana symboliką, że głowa mała. Moim zdaniem można ją spokojnie stawiać obok największych heroin popkultury.

@GM20198114 @WitcherVerse_ Talib, co ty pierdzielisz. Czytałeś książki Sapka? Wiadomo, że Sapkowski nie jest katolickim autorem, dużo dziwnych scen jak na fantasy, ale Ciri to była po gerlacie postać najważniejsza, z dobrymi tekstami, ripostami, BARDZO dużą głębią fabuły.

I believe she’s gonna be the greatest female protagonist ever🤍

3/x Where do you go Zireael? Where is your aim, End of your pains? Stay with me, please. I will tell you story. Here you found evil too. Stay Zireael....

2/x In pitch-black night, She came alone. On the black horse Lady of Places and Times. Her ashen hair with silver strands, Her venomous green eyes -- two emeralds, Her scar. Swallow --her name and sword. Lady of Places and Times.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=zWa7L2… 1/x Under the vault of the night sky, Close over surface of lake, Where stars hidden their shine. She came. In misty vapors of cracked air, In frosted light covered thousands of miles. She came alone, On the black horse. Lady of Places and Times

Ciri, wiedźminka o zielonych oczach oddala się od nas jadąc wprost w zachodzące słońce, wychodzi poza świat dobrze znanej nam opowieści. Wkracza w nowy, nieznany jej świat, w świat naszych mitów i legend. Bo nie ma takiego świata, w którym nie byłoby zajęcia dla wiedźminki.

3/3 Geralt, białowłosy wiedźmin wkracza w opowieść idąc ku nam, pustą uliczką, prowadząc za uzdę Płotkę, a ciepłe promienie popołudniowego słońca padają na jego prawy policzek. 👇

1/3 Pierwsze (jeśli chodzi o powstanie) i ostatnie zdania cyklu wiedźmińskiego zawierają pewien wspólny element tworzący swoistą symboliczną ramę, klamrę tegoż cyklu:
