  Spoiler

  How so? One of the endings literally has geralt gift a witcher sword to Ciri. The only thing I’m confused about is how she now seems to have the witcher mutations

      Continuation of the book spoilers

      Wacky books tbh. I don’t remember thinking it was for her to undergo trail they have it to her, but mostly because that’s all they really knew to do

  It makes perfect sense with two of the three endings, and could even work with the third depending on how much CDPR wants to explain the cosmology behind the white frost.

    Nah. Cat Eyes and Witcher potions don’t. They have some explaining to do.

      I imagine we’ll get that lore in the game no?

      Is it really that hard to imagine she eventually undertook the Trial? Yeah Kaer Morhen lost the ability to administer the Trial, but there’s like 10 different Witcher “schools.” Maybe we’ll see Ciri working with the School of the Crane or w/e.

        As far as we know it has never been done on a woman or an adult. Also, she already has super powers. Why risk a procedure that only 3 in 10 young boys used to survive?

    It’s almost definitely a break with the series in that you likely won’t be able to import your save file, which always was a core feature of the series. There could’ve been many ways to include it but a playable Ciri isn’t one of them.

      It could work the same way as the three origin stories in CP77: each ending from The Witcher 3 leading to a separate intro story with a time skip before the main game begins.

        I guess that could be possible though I doubt it. The 3 origin stories in Cyberpunk were extremely shallow and didn’t add anything to the story. I don’t see why they would go for it again when it didn’t work out last time.

      Some games do allow you to import saves from older games that have swapped the MC. They just take the choices you made in the story arc and use that to create conditions for the world you’re now in. But it’s a rare occasion from what I know.
