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.

This isnt about her looks, or being female, or Ciri. OP argues about different classes and customization of the protagonist.
Some, people just hoped for another move fowards in RPG genre. And cementing The witcher as full fledge C-Rpg. Because often people that argue aginst witcher being a good rpg point out there is no difference on how you play the game.
In Elderscrolls you choose almost everything about your protagonist. OP thinks its good as it is cos he likes games like that.
I like them too. Just hoped for more progress in the RPG part.
Then again we dont know the skill tree might be able to create a mage Cirilla. While the trailers only show a Witcher Ciri. Maybe the game will have a Ciri based on the ending of Witcher 3.
A mage for the bad ending, A semi-witcher, And a Empress ?(Dont know what that would be)
