According to the narrative director of the game Philip Weber (Philipp Weber), the team realized that fans "Witcher" They got to Geralt and not everyone will want to say goodbye to him. However, the developers carefully considered their decision, the specialist assured.
I think we knew for sure that https://sportsbettingmedia.co.uk/latest-news/live-betting-esports-counter-strike-2 this choice might seem controversial to some people. Of course, in the previous three games the main character was Geralt, and I think everyone really liked to play for him. I also really liked it, therefore, I think we understand that if someone would prefer to continue to be Geralt, then this is a logical occasion for concern. If the cause of anxiety is this, then it is fair.
The best we can do (and, I think, is our goal) is to prove that we can come up with a lot of interesting things for Ciri and fully justify the decision to make it the main character, because we have not accepted it yesterday: we started work for a very long time.
