Please please please let it be Lambert and Keira Metz squabbling all over the continent as they track something stupid.
Lambert: "Hurry up Keira, or we'll never get to town before the Nightwraiths come out!"
Keira: "Well maybe if we took the actual ROAD and not walked through this field I wouldn't have stepped in a massive cow pie!"
Lambert: "Uh, Keira? That's way too big to be made by a cow..."
roar of a nearby Chort
Keira and Lambert look at each other
in unison, "RUUUUUN!"
You should go write for CDPR. I’m already invested in this storyline.
Agree
It's clearly gonna be Ciri
they can easily tweak the mechanics to suit a whole game. And it's a Witcher RPG, the combat will be heavily customizable anyway.
That would be a very predictable and boring choice. I truly hope it is someone else, like Lambert, Eskel, Letho or Vesimir.
I'm hoping for an original character. Original story. Don't shit on established lore. But don't cling to it like a zealot to a holy book. CDPR has proven they can tell an original story with original characters while respecting established lore.
We know from that one picture we've seen it's not gonna be an established school. Perhaps an offshoot of the Cat. Or maybe an entirely different school. That medallion was a Lynx.
So agree. Playing as Ciri was so clunky and took me out of the groove.
I'd hope a "faceless" character like V in Cyberpunk that you can customize to your liking. I always struggle with RPGs that have predefined characters, because they often kinda go against what in my mind would be a possible personification in that world, and that potential clash makes me struggle with immersing myself in it.
For me it's the exact opposite, I'd rather play a pre made story with a premade central character because otherwise it's this hollow "just spend some time" thing.
Yea, playing as a no name witcher, doing Witcher things would be cool af
