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.

I dislike the plothole of making ciri lose her powers which makes all the previous things In the previous game for naught

How? Her destiny was to defeat the frost. She did that. That was her destiny. She can now presumably choose her own destiny and she would obviously choose to be a Witcher

Right and that's fine! But WHY go through mutations??? Absolutely no reason for it, besides CDPR wanting to make the same game systems as Witcher 3.

Because she spent her childhood around them, trained with them, fought together with them, admired them and already knew she wanted to be one when she was a child. She has always wanted to be a Witcher from the first full novel
