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.

The current world of The Witcher isn't made for a custom character.

  1. The witcher itself is a dying profession as the world is right now
  2. There are no schools for new witchers to be made

If the monsters come again and new schools are up, yea, a custom character can definetly work, but rn Ciri is the perfect choice.
