A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Gimi 30 year old Ciri on a unicorn with new monsters, magic and a good ass storyline, and I'll be good to go.

I remember back in the day, starting up God of War 1 or 2 and the first thing you see in the opening cutscene is naked titties all up in Kratos' face while he's in bed with two women.

Imagine if Witcher 4 started off with hard schlong all up in Ciri's face. 😏

I'm keen tbh, Geralt is a great character but we have had 3 games to explore the world from that perspective. Just like in Witcher 3 where you had some experiences from Ciri's perspective we could have some Geralt moments, but the world being experienced mainly from the perspective of Ciri would be cool.

It’s also extremely naive of anyone who has played the games. Ciri is the obvious choice to continue the story. Half of the books are about her, and as Geralt’s only kid, who better to tell the story of what comes next. Especially seeing as she is the only young person alive trained in the ways of a Witcher at the end of the 3rd game.

Staring a woman? Canon? What?

Starring* is what the title was meant to say. The Witcher 4 will start a new trilogy with Ciri, Geralt's adopted daughter as the main character.

This post is at -30 votes. Why so salty Lemmy?

Maybe cause it's just an opinion, not a showerthought
