  I kind of hoped for a custom character like V

    I think every game should have a customizable player character.

      You’re getting downvoted but I agree, to an extent. If it’s an RPG telling a grand story, and not an individual piece dedicated to a unique individual, then yes.

      Same. Dunno why the downvotes.

        I didn’t downvote but I disagree. It is nice to be able to roleplay your own character but I also like having well written established characters

        If we’re following rediquette, (if such a thing still exists or can even be applied to Lemmy) downvotes shouldn’t be used on things you disagree with.

      Every game feels a bit broad. Even if just for the sake of development, I’m okay with story-focused games having pre-built characters. Especially if we’re not actually meant to like or agree with the character we’re playing as, such as Martin Walker in Spec-Ops: The Line.

        Give me one good reason I shouldn’t be able to have a customizable PC in Tetris.

  So did I, but I mean, given the current game development climate, Ciri was an extremely predictable pick.

    If women make up around 50% of the people on earth, shouldn’t they make up around 50% of the main characters?

      I think that wanting equality over men/women % of MC is not something you would want to focus on I would rather have a quality story and universe whatever of the gender of the MC.

      ( I will clarify my point , I am an human therefore I am for gender equality obviously but I don’t think that this metric is the most interesting )

        I completely agree that the quality of the story is kinda the whole point, but I am tired of seeing comments like the one RightHand made; complaining that she is a woman just because she is a woman.

    Besides, they’ve already established some of her signature abilities and had people play as her in some of the previous game, kicking the familiarity up an extra notch.

    • RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yep. Ciri isnt the worst choice in the world, I just was hoping I could have played as my own character instead. It will be interesting to see what they do with the story.

      • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yeah, I’d have preferred making my own character too but, failing that, a great character that’s already established in the series and has been a lot of fun playing as so far ain’t bad either!

      I really hope they don’t stick with Ciri gameplay from TW3, I never liked when I was forced to play as Ciri, her abilities was less fun than Geralt signs.

      source

      • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Judging by the video, she’ll be behaving more like a witcher, with the two swords, the signs, and the potion quaffing. If they hold to that and also let her keep her “short teleport” move from TW3, I’m looking forward to it 🙂
