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.
This was basically my reaction. She already had access to greater powers than Witchers, and Witchers have to nearly kill themselves to be able to do things like signs and have the constitution for potions. Why would she risk an 80% chance of death for lesser powers?
She's not a goddamn Geralt clone.
Hell, aren't Sorceresses generally more powerful than Witchers? And isn't Ciri supposed to have greater potential than even them, as she is?
It did bug me in the "good ending" chat Geralt and Ciri share where she mentions drinking a Swallow potion. It's been shown that non witchers can't survive those and while her own abilities might protect her from them she's still not an actual witcher.
Non witchers can SURVIVE a potion like swallow, they just don't fully recover (remembering that one quest)..
