You're joking but I feel like that would satisfy EVERYONE's fantasies
Just cast him as all the roles. in everything
He's busy... Doing everything
I would crowdfund the shit out of that.
I hope she knows how to play Gwent.
I liked gwent. Tried the app, didn't understand wtf was happening, deleted it.

As if anyone expected to play as any other character than Ciri.
I hoped for a witcher (whichever gender) from one of the other schools, tbh

I did. The games already completely shit on the ciri book lore. I was hoping for a fresh slate with new characters, perhaps during a different time period entirely.

Super hyped, I've wanted a sequel with Ciri since finishing 3.
Please don't Cyberpunk this up, CDPR...
They will cyberpunk this, because they also witchered Cyberpunk. As in "delivered less than promised and then mostly fixed it with patches".
Yep, it's their business model. People were pissed about Cyberpunk because they'd only played Witcher 3 after it was complete.

And I'm quick to forget that Witcher 3 had some nasty bugs at launch, too. I was stuck with at that damn giant in the ice cave for like a month before they fixed it.

Is it just me or is her face a bit weird? Like too much jaw?
I'd love to play the game as Ciri though, hope they make up a good story, it felt the Wild Hunt was her story, IDK what can top that.
Might be a character redesign. Geralt definitely got that treatment from 2 to 3.
And from 1 to 2, which was desperately needed.
I agree.
As someone else pointed out, Geralt looked quite different in the game vs the first cinematic launch trailer.
So who knows, time will tell. Also keep in mind it’s a new engine

I was hoping for Eskel or Letho to be honest. Ciri is a safe choice but a bit on the boring side. Eskel would have been a lot more multi-layered protagonist and dialogues would have been funnier.
I was praying for Letho even though we all knew it was going to be Ciri (for better or worse, we'll see).
Leaning into the moral grey of the Witcher world with Letho would have been awesome, he says (in one of the endings to his story) he'll head out east over the mountains so we could have gotten some all-new environments and it would have been 100% CDPR IP so they could have done whatever they wanted without trampling over lore too much. Plus Letho is just an amazing character with huge protagonist energy. Oh well.

Looks great... but it uses Unreal Engine 5
What's wrong with unreal engine 5...
Performance mostly. But also even when made by various AAA studios, the resulting games often have this uncanny similar-ness to them. Personally i prefer in-house engines even if its just to maintain variety in the industry.
Also obligatory shout out to id tech for continuing to show off their engines with indiana jones.
