Not mad, a little confused by the sudden lore conflicts, but I've always had hope for her as an adult character.

Where is all this outrage occurring? I only see people making fun of it and none of the actual thing itself.

Twitter, and later it will be people review bombing the game on steam.

No real person cares for Twitter anymore. Leave that heap of shit to those who deserve it.

Since you demand proof. It's mostly on mainstream social media that I've absorbed via Discord or other posts on Lemmy:

When I google "Witcher 4 Ciri" this is what's recommended first:

And of course they had to go out of their way to avoid comparing it to her real Witcher 3 design, and instead had to find the airbrushed version from some random other game.

Is this woman attractive? Let me get my calipers and decide.

Just admiring the shape of your skull.

…were they expecting a Witcher who fights constant life and death battles with literal monsters to not be scarred?

I don't think it actually is happening, seems like a bunch of manufactured outrage to keep Witcher 4 in the news?

[–] johannesvanderwhales 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

While I definitely think the people raging have ulterior motives, it's out there for sure.

[–] ms_lane 1 points 7 hours ago

I'll take that as a sign I'm keeping good company. Sucks people are like that :(

I haven't seen anyone mad over it. Most people thought it was the most reasonable path forward for the witcher series after Netflix murdered the TV show.
