I connected with The Witcher because of Geralt and his story. So it’s hard for me to imagine Witcher 4 as a Fallout/Skyrim type game. I like the character led story. I hope they stick with it and tell someone else’s story.

​@@dankseid3793 I don't suggest, it's not my job, but CDPR's. However, if you played Thronebreaker you know they can make amazing characters and story without using well known stuff from the main games. So I believe they can craft a good main character and story if they make this new game distinct enough from Witcher 3 (future/past and a world region we haven't seen before). Also, play Thronebreaker if you haven't, it's amazing.

I'd LOVE to go back and experience Kaer Morhen in a time when it was whole, and full of life and interesting characters. Dive deeper into the Trail of Grasses process, etc.

A game set in the past is way more interesting than a game after The Witcher 3 IMO. Even in Geralt's times, monsters are not really an existential threat anymore and human conflicts are way more important.

Monsters weren't the focus in the witcher universe to begin with tho. The book(s) and series is a mostly woman-centered, woman-driven political story through the eyes of Geralt. The games are different in a way but still includes a fair amount of politics.

My biggest concern is that a lot of the people who created TW3 at CDPR are no longer there... The Witcher games are a HIGH bar to live up to and I have serious doubts they can catch lightning in a bottle again and seeing how Cyberpunk 2077 played out. Also, society is far more insane now than it was during TW3's dev time- which will effect the game's narrative.

Actually I disagree. CDPR still has a decent amount of people. And even if they are missing some, certain systems are in place that basically set up any game they make for a big success, as long as they stick to the recipes of past successes. That means a good open world game, with many ways to interact and a great story. And we do know their storywriting is still pretty damn good with or without source material to go with. CP2077 for example had a great story. What the game failed as were all things that were never a problem in the witcher games, for example extremely crowded places, police chases and so on. So I would put my bet on them being able to give us an actually good story. For everything else they basically just need to use their TW3 blueprint.

If CDPR wants to go in the direction of Ciri they need to make a spin off that follows her adventures. Honestly, I wish they had made a $30 expansion where you got to play as ciri jumping from one world to another trying to escape the wild hunt. Just in general it'd have been cool if we got a ciri post book escaping the wild hunt

Witcher 2 also had multiple endings but those ideas were discarded in 3rd game.

Geralt's story already had its end with Blood & Wine, and it's perfect as is. Having Geralt as a protagonist again, wouldn't make much sense it the next game is a sequel to the events in TW3. Similarly, Ciri's story is pretty much also complete by the third game unless she chooses to become a witcher, in which case her being an elder blood and therefore so op would not make for fun gameplay and would stray too far away from the actual witcher concept. In my opinion CDPR is better off exploring other characters in the witcher universe, perhaps even creating a brand new protagonist. I'm pretty excited with the prospect of a cat school protagonist since this school is famous for its witchers also taking contracts as assassins and all the moral implications that could have. Perhaps this game could focus more on the relationships on the various cat school witchers, having some be inclined to take up on assassination contracts therefore causing division between them, maybe even have a witcher be the actual antagonist. It could also focus more on intrigue and the posible story branching depending on wether you choose to be an assassin or not can be endless. Really excited with the future of the series.

Hi! I would love to see a deeper dive into the game assets, like things summonable using the console. Always wondered about the frozen soldier and volcanic griffin

I actually liked Ciri’s character quite a bit and they’ll definitely balance out the difficulty level so not sure why people are concerned about her being too op. The gameplay could be radically different and expanded upon with Ciri specifically given her space-time faculties. Geralt is definitely more entertaining than any other option, though. Honestly it just matters how well it gets executed. After their legendary failure with CP, CDPR probably wants to prove they still have something really golden. I’m still rooting for them

From the screen CDPR posted. I wondered if the medallion has been uncovered from being buried in the snow. As if a younger protagonist uncovers this in the future. Maybe a child or grandchild of Ciri who wants to become a Witcher after the schools have been forgotten.

I find myself on the minority where I'd like Ciri to be the main character but this means that one of the many endings of the The Witcher 3 has to be an established cannon where Ciri becomes a Witcher. Remember that Witcher anniversary video where all of Geralt's friends gather for a feast? That must be the true cannon that CDPR inteded where Ciri, Lambert, Keira, the Baron, Roche, Olgierd, Anarietta, and Syanna lives. As for Ciri being too OP, I'm sure that CDPR can still come up with a pretty good story for that.

I‘d be in for a prequel set when witchers were at their peak. Or, maybe, even earlier: when the first schools formed, with one of the first „real“ witchers (as in: someone must at some point have started the mutation thing, noticed that it‘s good for monster hunting and then started to apply it to young boys in a regulated manner to achieve comparable results - or death, for that matter). If so, why not introduce a semi-set character and take a page out of some other great rpg franchises‘ books. Let me play a customisable boy, taken by the witchers, undergoing mutation and training and then being thrown in some story - or, more simply put, give the character a origin story, maybe even a slightly different one according to customisation (think DA:O, but more like Story 1: Given to the Witchers as payment; Story 2: Taken by the Witchers; Story 3: Stray, homeless kid wanders around and just happens to knock on the Witchers‘ door or Story 4: Runaway who admires Witchers wants to be one and leaves in secret to find them - just a few ideas for origin stories, altering the youth storyline and the way people/other young witchers in training react to him, but with no real influence on the later adult life as Witchers are usually not impacted by stuff like that.

I think geralts story isn't over, but it's gotten to it's end. He's reached the end of his character arc. He proved his point. Witchers are as human as anyone else, people are the scariest monsters and he grew out of how toughened he was from years of seeing nothing but pain everywhere and grew to love well, the people he loved. He raised ciri the best he could and she did whatever she did in the climax of the story. He lived the part of his life we were meant to see. I think he's going to live on doing what he does best, being a witcher, he has many many years left, witchers don't die of old age, or not that we know of. I think that geralt HAS changed and he's not the same person from the main story of most of the games. I think moving on to ciri possibly creating or continuing witcher schools or bringing more people into the fold to become the next generation of monster slayers would be what I want to see out of another witcher game, after all, without the witchers who would keep the world safe from monsters and make coin doing it? maybe the new witchers could include sorcerers as well, maybe ciri or someone else can research how to make safer mutagen. If the game is about geralt it's just going to be more of the same, which the same is great, but I wan't it to grow and evolve, while still maintaining the same life. Ciri has so much more possibility in her story, she's young, has many relationships to make, people to meet and places to go, where geralt has seen and done it all.

the only reason witcher gets any traction is because geralt. to leave him out of the new game would ruin all the good will they made off his name. he is the only protage in the witcher siri is just the leftest wet dream. its weird why do they have to take every good character and replace him . i dont understand how american culture is turning right now. it is depressing geralt is the witcher and thats that. if he isnt in it then it isnt the witcher anymore.

@@hsizzle4502 Well, if it's Ciri as the protagonist, he'll still be in the game

Ciri is not a real Witcher, is too OP as a plot device with her time and space powers, and her story and character is intertwined with Geralt's and her arc is completed in Wild Hunt. Not to mention it would render player choices in Wild Hunt a moot point. Eskel should be the protagonist going forward. He is the only Witcher whose outcome in Wild Hunt cannot be effected by choices. He inherits Kaer Morhen and heads out on the Path for further adventures every time, and it would be more interesting playing as a traditional Witcher like him, much different from Geralt's Knight In Shining Armor type hero.

It bothers me how many people believe Ciri is a Witcher. I think that's one of the biggest flaws in the game. Ciri cannot be a Witcher. Geralt taught her how to fight, Yennefer helped her to use magic. Ciri isn't either or.

I missed your videos. I love the quality and I really like to hear your opinion. I really don't mind who is going to be the protagonist. I just want, like many other fans want, a high quality game. Not only improve the graphics and mechanics, we want a good script, a good story that makes us feel like a Witcher in the middle of a chaotic world. Keep doing videos please. 💙

I agree with you. I hope we get a great new location.

In Lady of the Lake, Ciri grabbed Bonhart's cat school medallion after killing him and put it on. The main character will most certainly be Ciri, either in the past or future. Personally I would prefer Ciri's story in the real world where the books leave off.

I bought ThroneBreaker, loved it ! I just wanna create my own character as far looks. They can have a predetermined story, preset abilities or whatever….just have a female and male voice for the character and we’re great.

There are no female witchers ( except Ciri, but she isnt a full witcher ), and i dont think they will go full RPG whit customized characters, but instead stick to the linear story mode.

Dude you’ve gotta do like live streams or full gameplay series I would watch every second of them.

There is also Letho which isn't from the School of the Wolf. Also has the perk of no set story after Witcher 3, but does have different endings to deal. But they can easily be explained.

Why you people don't understand what "new saga" means

Since its been confirmed to be the school of the Lynx, I'd appreciate a canonisation of the pen and paper role-playing game it came from, complete with its female witchers and lambert as a Vesemir equivalent. A Commander Shepherd style custom protagonist would certainly be a good way to endear people to a new protagonist when they can look however you'd like and your dialogue choices could form your character's actions and personality.

What about Geralt when he was a kid? Doing the Witcher trials of grasses, being taught by vesimir and leading up to the first game? That would be cool

excellent analysis.

Geralt is an interesting character in his own right and despite his "dissocial" behaviour likable enough to be invested in emotionally as a player/ reader. He is grumpy, but kind, brutal, but hones, lonersome but loyal. I think Witcher 3 ended is story in a nice way, leaving his actualy fate somewhat open ended, resp. in the hands of the player, who can basically decide what the "happily ever after" is in his story. Ciri is part of this story and I think making her the protagonist, would rob something from Geralt's and her story. For this reason, I think both are out of the equation, especially given the fact that the medallion shows something different. I think for a reason CDPR decided to use a witcher school, which is not prominent. It is I think a "clean slate". I also think that while some of the other characters in the saga certainly have their appeal for some, none of them are so universally liked as Geralt. For a major game in a new saga, I don't think any are solid choices for that reason. In any case they would certainly always be compared to Geralt and his saga and I doubt this would work out very well for the majority. This might work for a spin off game like thronebreaker, but not for a major saga. In my opinion the logical next step would be to make it an open character, totally new, probably designable like in other RPGs. This can still lead to an immersive story, e.g. like in Mass Effect, so I don't think this would be a problem. As for the setting: I think for the same reason, avoiding comparisons, a totally different setting is needed. This could either be a very different location - but not too different, if you want to catch all the Witcher fans - or a different time frame. Since the Geralt saga already is happening during at the end of the witchers' decline, my guess it, we will see a prequel or a setting after a rejuvination of the witchers to give more options. Or maybe the school of the lynx is capable to create witchers still? OR maybe they are just "wanna be witchers", which are just good figthers without the special abilties? Maybe you will have to find a way to make thos abilities accessible during the game? We will see. In any case, I doubt it will be a familiar characters or setting. That could only loose in comparison to the Geralt saga.

A End is not always a End. If someone from the Story writers are going to have a good Idea how they could Continue then there is no Problem to continue. But I personally would preffer a Game in the Past and not in the Future and maybe we could then see or We could get him there Geralts Start as a Little Witcher Boy in Kaer Morhen. Hope you understand my Idea. Again: My Idea is, That the New Game will End and Geralts Story "will begin".

If CDPR decide to continue/ expand same saga and characters with Ciri as character. It will be a disaster. Our viewpoint to see every relation in the game will shift drastically and that will set many people off from this detailed rpg. Mass effect 4, last of us etc etc many games did same thing and it majorly upset the audience. They should either do a new character with minor references or Geralt in a new saga.

Missed the channel, glad to hear your thoughts

Great time to start the channel! I personally think ciri being the protagonist is almost a natural secession to what most of the Witcher fans see. Also, if you didn’t try your hardest to get the ending where Ciri is a Witcher then you didn’t play it right.

I’d love Geralt again though. I’d have no problem with Ciri but Geralt as you said is perfect and why mess with perfection?

I think there is so much potential and I'm so interested in seeing it one day!

I like create your own character type... that makes witcher game more awesome

Ciri could be the founder of the new school, in another world many. Tho another world with no lore backing for the monsters and politics etc. can be a bit risky.

Can we seriously not just have a Ciri/Geralt Witcher 4? Honestly, the list of characters work... please, CDPR, for the love of everything holy, don't try to invent the wheel here. You have a game franchise that everyone know and love and adore exactly for what it is.

Geralt's story has come to a close in Witcher 3. That is the best way to end his journey. The only logical candidates for the next MC are either Ciri, Young Vesemir or a whole new character. I'm leaning toward Young Vesemir tbh. Ciri's story would be hard to pull off because of how OP she is. I rather play as a regular witcher than play as a demigod lmao.

@@kingf6766 that would work because Vesemir is a canon character, but my fear is CDPR would create a non-canon character. Now, this is based on the medalion picture we saw when the game was first teased. But also, is it really the end of.Geralts story? See, for me, its not that clean cut. I feel there is room for more of him. Perhaps his younger years as a Witcher - and like You said Vesemir - but we already know that the enhanced edition of Witcher 3 is gonna have a Netflix DLC... My hope is just cdpr doesnt botch this up, you know what I mean? We see this exact thibg with sooo many games these days: franchises being torn down because somebody wants to get cute and earn money without delivering a solid product. And the fans just gets pissed from it.

Wouldn't it be cool if you could customize how the mutations affect your new witcher in the game. Like a character creation but instead of appearance it changes based on what school you choose and how the mutations affect you.

Ngl, I loved Ciris speedy movement and momentum based combat is amazing

I do NOT want a Vesemir game or any customizable Witcher. I think it’s criminal that Ciri is only in the third game and I think a new series with her would be as good (not better) than the original games.

She really bypasses a lot of witcher things with her powers and if she is a main character they basically make the other endings obsolete

I want a game about Ciri's adventures! 😭 The book is amazing!

Welcome back!

Building your own witcher would be AWESOME and so many more options to choose because you are somone with a blank slate.

I dont really know about the story or the setting which could probably feel a bit wierd if its set in the future but i do like the idea of the witcher you play running around finding lore and whatever about Geralt and the past games, with books and scriptures pointing out things he did.

I just imagined a mission where the protagonist fails to kill a monster and needs some help from a seasoned witcher, and right there, hears the steps of the white wolf coming to rescue. Silly I know but it would be nice to show our beloved Geralt in some way in the new game.

i would like to see the focus of this Lynx School be more so the remnants of the Cat School rebuilding under new leadership and being a lot less murdery.they have a very terrible reputation even among the other schools and seeing that school become something more would be really nice to see

Ever since lambert mentioned his time with some assassins from the school of the cat ive become obsessed with trying to know more about it. I would love to see how the schools differ especially since geralt remarks that cat school witchers have less of a moral look on things and will do as they please

I can see a more open-ended character direction, with your own witcher initiate that you can name, customize, choose your own school, and complete the trials, also being a possibility.

Imho add a mystery protagonist which the player can play and customise its character. Having memories related to the witcher school. Or Erlend of Larvik story is most interesting plus it can carry through several games as his whereabouts in geralts time were unknown.

Good video, with some great points. I would absolutely agree they need a set character for the new series. If they had one that wasn't set I think it would hurt the game and some of the aspects we loved in The Witcher trilogy with Geralt.

I would like to meaby play as one of the first witchers and meaby see some of the events that helped shape the witcher code

My belief is that they will adapt a lot of the fanon with the new saga bring set hundreds of years later when a new continent fully populated with monsters is discovered and the witchers see kind of a revival with new techniques and armaments such as guns.

We will create our Witcher...I think..

I think that the second series about the witchers might be touching the subject of the second "conjunction of the spheres" which was talked about in the Witcher 3 start-intro and perhaps the world might once again need more witchers to fight/kill them off, also not so long ago CDPR mage GWENT Rogue Mage which talked about the making of first witchers, so perhaps we can create our own witcher which we can play through the upcoming games (something like Mass Effect Trilogy)

i remember after blood and wine came out there was a rumor that the next witcher game would feature a witcher that the player custom desinges like in cyberpunk. with a new story unrelated to gerald and the other characters we know

I have read it on a fan page, and that said, the lynx school was founded by Lambert (maybe Eskel, I can't remember) and it's after the battle of kaer morhen.

congrats on the tenth video! And I don't really care if they set it before or after the events of the og witcher games. I loved the storytelling of Thronebreaker and as long as the writers are let to do what they can do best I am totally fine with that. I just hope that they don't make the main quest as short as cyberpunk and maybe a tad shorter than the witcher 3 (tho I don't mind long ones - just for statistic's sake).

I think the weapons and armor given to you in the next gen update are a hint that we will indeed be going way back to the past. i think thats great!

There has been sooooo much mentioning of kovir in witcher games and with the snow in the poster id love a kovir map and on the slip side zerikennia is another place heavy mentioned id like a map of also I am however aware they are on opposite sides of the continent but Witcher 3 used skellige a whole different island 😂

I feel like that's probably what you'll be getting (the prequel part, at least)

honestly, if they are starting a new saga, with a different school as the focus. i want to be able to make my own witcher. i do get what you mean about losing alot of depth when not having a set character. but if we look at a series like mass effect. there are ways to have a set character that can feel like your own character individually over the course of a series cycle.

I would honestly enjoy going back in time with a lot more witchers and have two versions one where we can play a main quest and have an online version where we can do side quests with our friends online and complete Witcher contracts being able to choose which Witcher school u would want to be apart of finding cool artifacts like swords and armor maybe collectibles have multiple places to go and visit multiple safe houses of other fellow witchers maybe gain quests from them as well have Gwent set ups and a bar with other games

I saw someone say it would be cool to see eskal start his own Witcher school and you play as one of his young witchers

We could have vasemir story from the grass of trials till he became geralt mentor, from what we saw in the anime it would be really good.

Maybe its cool if there will be another conjunction of sphere and set the world for a new era of witchers where schools are reopenned and you as players be one of the product of new witcher schools and may have the option to choose your school. Choosing your school gives us the variety of playability for NG+ and more IMO
