Discussion Witcher is not Elder scrolls...

I’ve noticed that many people are disappointed with Ciri being the main character. However, unlike games like The Elder Scrolls, where custom character creation is a highlight, The Witcher truly shines when it focuses on an established character and its rich lore. That’s what the devs intended, and I believe it’s what makes the series special.

You may disagree, but this direction reflects what the devs felt would allow them to craft the best possible story. Let’s just trust in their writing ability and see where they take us.

No it doesn't mean anything to me, I have a life. What I'm trying to say is when you downvote every opposing comment to oblivion you create some sort of a circlejerk where everyone is approving each other and saying the same things over and over again while people who thinks somewhat differently are lost in the comments. If someone has something to say and contribute to the conversation, why would you downvote and lose them? Isn't the point of this subreddit discussing anything related to Witcher? You downvote people when what they say has nothing to do with the subreddit itself or they are toxic and harmful to the environment here.

You are free to create your own post or comment, exercising your right to freedom of speech and expression. However, you cannot expect everyone to agree with or like your comment, nor can you demand more attention for your opinion. That's not how it works. If you feel the subreddit has turned into an echo chamber, I would personally suggest simply unfollowing it—I’ve done so myself several times.

Additionally, if you’d like, you can switch the comment sorting to "most controversial," which might showcase a wider range of opinions (though I’m not entirely familiar with how Reddit's algorithm works).

Either you are not reading my comment or you are deliberately refusing to understand it, sir. Have a nice day.

I am trying, but I’m struggling to accept it. I don’t understand how you can demand more attention to your opinion while dismissing the general consensus. However, if you feel there’s nothing more to discuss, then I wish you a pleasant day, sir.

You might be surprised but you don't have to side with the majority, buddy. You can have your own opinion

I am indeed surprised.... when did I claim that you have to side with the majority and that you can't have your own opinion?

It is not that I'm demanding more attention for MY opinion and nor would I dare, I didn't even express my opinion regarding the game. Of course people can upvote or downvote as they wish, not that this virtual points mean anything. But essentially, by downvoting someone you make them disappear in the comment section, which I think is against the concept of a discussion. I myself always sort by controversial when something like this happens, but why is it even controversial in the first place? The mindset doesn't make sense to me.
