I saw a screenshot of Ciri's face in the Witcher 4 trailer, they really gave her a butterface didn't they.
Like even with her scars in 3, she was beautiful, just playing as Geralt made me seeing her less for partner in a sexual sense, more beautiful daughter I wanted to cuddle after slaying a monster lol.
Anyway the inability to just have beautiful women presented in games when they were there in previous years old games does not instill confidence this will be anything more than lackluster.
Some are explaining her looks as "aging". Yeah, because nobody ages beautifully, not even in fantasy land.
I haven't kept up with any changes to the lore, if any, but her using signs and potions was strange to me. Ciri was already OP, being able to teleport anywhere at will, even in combat, so I wonder why they're going with that. Unless... they're going with a "she lost her powers" route, because of what shed did to stop the White Frost, but that would mean having to undergo the Trials of the Grasses which the other witchers were (at least somewhat) against. Especially Lambert.
Whatever the case, little to no faith in a new witcher sadly, no matter the protagonist.
Some are
huddinghuffing copium to try and explain how shit the product is.Except in this fantasy land the magic users literally keep themselves lookingy young with magic. Yenn is around 100 years old, so is Geralt. These excuses are grasping at straws the book lore dismissed the chances of years ago.
It's always funny how in fantasy and sci fi they need THOUSANDS of excuses to explain why they can't draw for shit.
Harder to explain ugly when magic and sci fi surgery is available.
Similarly how and why someone who is trans can exist in D&D when there are multiple ways to literally change from one sex to the other, beneficial or otherwise as it can range from Divine blessings/wishes to cursed items someone made. If the movement was sincere the "curse" of wearing a belt for the rest of someone's life would be a pittance of inconvenience if it actually did what so many claim to want done. But they don't, because it would then remove their special label where they can talk about how they are vegan/into cross-fit/trans.
If not incompetence it's willful sabotage when they base it off a real model and deliberately uglify her when we all know basic bitch tech these days can render nearly identical. Not sure which is it in this case but the end result is the same.
