Quite the opposite for me. Having only random ass characters in the story would kill all my hype. Also I wished for Ciri as MC in the next game ever since I player W3, so for 10 years now.

I’m mad about Ciri being the main character, however the reason I’m mad si not because of her character or her being a woman. What I’m upset about is that I thought this game would take place in a completely different time period or region. Like maybe during the first witchers? Maybe in the future? But no, CDPR is just force extending existing characters. Zzzzz

My dream witcher game is set like 150 years in the future (early industrialized time period of the witcher universe.) And there could be tension as guns are invented and witchers aren’t needed as more. How great would that be?
Wanted to mention - The Season of Storms Witcher book has a flash forward to around 150 years in the future, and they’re starting to burn fossil fuels or oil for fuel. That’s where I got the 150 years.

Exactly my opinion as well, last game ended perfectly for a new story.

Yes. The games already retconned the ending of the books, which was pretty finalized. But whatever, the games were good. But now they’re just forve extending and already forced extended storyline rofl. I was hoping for completely new characters in a completely new settings/time period. Such a fucking shame.

I think it’s risk aversion to some extent ?

It’s the same bullshit that has ruined hollywood. It’s safer to just reboot some bullshit or force a sequel vs. coming up with something new and original.
