I'd honestly much rather play as a nobody than "the chosen one with the ultimate bloodline". The parts of the witcher that I love the most is just the lone wanderer parts, where its Geralt ( but it could be anyone really) walking the land, discovering amazing characters and places in the world and getting in to trouble and adventures.

You want a sandbox RPG rather than a narrative RPG. Which I wouldn't mind either. However, part of the problem with Cyberpunk is that CDPR advertised it as a sandbox but couldn't commit and the result was the mess we ended up with: nuggets of gold buried beneath a mountain of indecisiveness and half-baked ideas (like the police mechanic). Hopefully Witcher 4 will be more focused on what it's supposed to be.

Changing engine will definetely have an effect on that due to likely new graphics and new lighting systems and modified art direction, so I just hope they still manage to capture the magic in the environments like they did for geralt's last game.

After spending 120 hours (a new record for me, the previous record was for TES: Oblivion) I kind of felt that the minimap had stolen the pleasure for me. After a lot of time I realized that I don't remember the world as good as for example Gothic or Morrowing because I was stareing at minimap all the time. I realized that the scale of minimap could have drastically improved my experience. Too bad I realized that very late. And also why this is the best RPG - quests are very interesting. But the consistency of the world is not as good, there many blind spots. Many things you have got to learn from wiki articles so you to have a coherent understanding of events. Also Gerald don't have much of ways of development. The most efficient are swords and the rest just cause more pain at harder difficulties.
@jakobfel2

@@SoundPeaks I agree but at the same time, I have a hard time playing the game without the minimap due to how it's designed. The game feels like it was meant to have one, whereas TES games tend to be more about the wandering and exploration. As for the blind spots and other things you mentioned, that's because the series is based off of books. The games take place after the books so if you haven't read them, you will definitely have to check the wiki articles and in-game databases pretty often. I did that for my first playthrough but now that I'm replaying it after I've begun delving into the books, things just feel so much more "real" and cohesive. Geralt has already become a developed character at that point which is why his development isn't meant to be particularly drastic.

Absolutely agree. It’s the only game that I have felt so much a part of that I actually became physically sad and depressed when I finished it. Not in a huge way, I’m not trying to be that dramatic, but it had become so much a part of my life that I felt slightly lost and empty without it. I have tried Cyberpunk a few times and I simply can’t get into it - for me, it is not even remotely in the same league. I actually came the The Witcher 3 really late. I got the game when it was first realised, free with a graphics card purchase. At the time I didn’t know anything about The Witcher universe and thought the game was a ‘monster hunter’ like thing which wouldn’t interest me so I gave it to my son. It was only after watching the first few episodes of the Netflix series that my son said I should try the game. I did and became totally drawn in. I felt empty when I finished the game so I then went on to read the books which were great but then again I felt empty when I reached the end. Now I’m always on the lookout for new Witcher stuff, graphic novels, animations, fan-made shorts even the series two of the Netflix series (which I watch with a little pain and grimace). I need more Witcher.

The "Through Time and Space" quest was maybe the most magical part of the Witcher 3's main storyline, and my favorite main quest. Traveling between worlds really opens up your imagination. For anyone who read C.S. Lewis, the Time and Space quest gave me the same sense of wonder I felt as a kid reading The Magician's Nephew. If they could make a game that is grounded in the world of the Witcher, with either Ciri or one of her descendants experiencing a storyline that takes us across worlds, that could be fantastic. There are endless story possibilities there. What I hope they don't do is a repackaging of witcher storylines, just with another protagonist instead of Geralt. We'd all like to go back and play the Witcher 3 (and maybe 1 and 2 as well) again for the first time, but a game that incorporates a lot of the same experiences with a new witcher is just going to feel hollow due to all the lore and depth behind Geralt's character.

Geralt's character is fairly bland and generic in the games, he's a pretty standard protagonist. The Witcher 4 will never be as good as the Witcher 3, the latter had tons of lore and decades of writing to inspire it and build up to it. I doubt any game will be able to live up to what it did. But the Witcher 1 was a good game, some would say a great game for the time, even though it deliberately threw out the lore behind it. So I'm hoping for a new story on par with Witcher 1 (or Witcher 2) with the updated gameplay and graphics of today.

Speaking of Unreal5 vs REDengine, I just hope they manage to keep the fantasy look TW3 has.

I hope they also manage to maintain the lighting differences in different regions, like in TW3.

@@Cupapet93 ok honest question how would being able to customise your charcter be a franchise disaster? I mean if it's cause of story concerns (I mean Skyrim is amazing but the story is well lousy given you can be literally everything, even as a warrior you can be the archmage who knows like 2 spells), could just have a set charcter you make your own similar to mass effect (ie John/Jane), that way you keep the focus on story but the bonus of making your Witcher well yours, especially given it would be a brand new character with no lore unlike geralt. If it's another reason I'd be curious to hear.

Also slight update on my last comment about the Blacksmith in Kaer Trolde, it looks like your interaction with him is alot more bugged than mine, I only need to meditate an hour near him and I can interact with him but it looks like your game is more bugged for some reason (I play the GOG GOTY edition version of the game if that helps) so I hope it works for you and not bug out! He tells about A "Battle axe that speaks" about fights it went through every Saovine and about a sword that Geralt notices is made of Meteorite steel, which he responds with "No, from the heart of a falling star" and how whoever wields it will never lose his way at sea. Also important, the story with the Meteorite steel sword story might not work the first few times so try the dialogue option a few more times it will work eventually. Also we need a side quest with a character named Letalis in that game, FOR SURE.

Jfc I can't stand Ciri as a character, and I have no idea who theres a small portion of the community that whole heatedly embrace the waman empowerment. The majority of the community is so fn over Ciri, and years ago at launch the general consensus was everyone had, had enough of the character. Given the current trend in politics, and the Netflix Witcher primarily being, "The Ciri Show" I'm worried that the devs at CDPR share your sentiments, or are at least mistaken that the majority of the community desires to ever hear her name again. Witcher 2 was a better game than the Witcher 3. There's no reason to suspect the new one won't be as good. Tho I enjoyed the Witcher 3, it's no where near the best game I've ever played, and I suspect it won't be terribly difficult to create something as good. It was a great game, but there are better. It was the characters for me. Though I've played better games, I've never been so emotionally attached to the characters. Sure there were some that I despised like Ciri, but there are some many authentic, memorable, characters. They were masterfully written. God of War and the father son dichotomy really resonated with me being a father of three boys. Maybe that's why the Witcher 3 really resonated with you?

That's literally what they've done to Cyberpunk and why the character of V is so bland and inconsequential. That's the last thing I'd want to happen. Not only because of what I've said, but because choosing one school now leaves room to create more stories of other witcher schools in the future. If we get a character creation, that's basically gonna kill all the stories the schools can develop. You should also remember that Geralt was considered quite a unique witcher, in the sense that the average witcher doesn't meet kings or get involved in politics. That's why the set up for the school of the cat would be a perfect setting for a new story (we hear in the witcher 3 that witchers from the school of the cat became assassins in Lambert's quest).

My first reaction was basically what you've concluded - it's not a Geralt game, and it's very, very unlikely that it's a Ciri game either. Yes, it's a shame that we had too little time with Ciri, and I will definitely miss all the familiar characters (especially the hilarious Zoltan), but the storyline that we know is just exhausted and attempts to milk it further would just ruin it. Wouldn't be a new saga either. New characters and a different witcher school just make sense even if we didn't see a new medalion. Speaking of that medalion and all the wishful thinking because Ciri had one - well, I have to admit I didn't look at it close enough at first to notice that it's not a Cat, but come on guys - Ciri is a mix of a lot of things, part witcher among them, but it's just a part ... she's not THE WITCHER. What worries me a little is that, so far, while the games timeline was after the books one, there was still a massive story foundation already in place and this will no longer be the case for Witcher 4. A small framework will still be there in the sense that it's very probably the same world, largely the same monsters, I highly suspect we'll have lots of references to events from the story so far, and maybe we'll even get brief cameos from familiar characters. But everything else would have to be brand new and this is very, very challenging to do. In a way, CDPR took "the known" to a new height, but now the training wheels are coming off and it would be their baptism of fire (wink, wink) to pull it off. They've done great so far, so I'm hopeful, but not necessarily expecting to be blown away. As for the game engine change, I'm not worried at all and this makes all the sense in the world. The Unreal engine has been as successful in its realm as the Witcher games have been, and the great part about all of this is hiding in that little keyword - partnership. CDPR is one of very few companies with the necessary experience to actually enhance the Unreal engine's already massive capabilities, all while benefiting from it and no longer having to commit precious resources to maintaining their own homegrown engine. Any developer who has worked on big in-house projects will tell you of their brittle nature, design flaws and huge technical debt (google this term) that builds up over time until the whole thing needs to be rebuilt from scratch. If they were simply licensing the engine, I'd be much more cynical about this, but a true partnership between the two companies makes me very optimistic.

I think that the "problem" of having 3 different endings for The Witcher 3 can be easily avoided: In Cyberpunk, no matter what path you choose, after the prologue you always end up playing like a Street Kid. That's no different, Ciri's prologue would be different based on your W3 ending, letting you start with a save import or just straight up choose what ending you got, and then go on with the main story, which is Ciri being a Witcher. If you get the Ciri becomes a Witcher ending, that's already set up. If you get the "dead" Ciri ending, you just reveal that she isn't dead and just never came back to Geralt, leading him to think she was dead (and also giving potential for a great reunion scene). If you get the Ciri Empress ending, she just escapes from her life as a ruler and goes back on the path (maybe she fakes her death), but this should be more complicated depending also on who won the war. Nilfgaard losing it's empress is a big deal and the Empire's story would change after that, in two different ways based on Nilfgaard's victory or defeat). All of this can be easily made by CDPR, they'd just do as an import save function from a game to the other, which changes just some things and not the entire game.

If they do go with Ciri's descendant(Which i think is the best idea mainly beacause of the possibilities the Elder Blood opens), he could be a Witcher from a new and/or more modern school wich banned the mutations(because the witchers we know find it cruel). It could even tap into different technology like basic gunpowder weapons.

After reading all the books, playing the game was playing with my best friends. No other game has got me so emotionally involved and brought me sometimes to tears. I love the ambiguity like the baron’s story. No one absolutely evil or good but big shades of grey where none in that couple comes out looking good. They deserved each other and yet it was so intense. So many characters like that, so many I cared about. Ending the books, like ending the games, was like saying goodbye forever to some very close friends. Very tough. No other game will be as intense and grab me so deeply. I love them all, they are all so well defined: Lambert, Vesemir, Shani, all of them….

On Ciri, I suppose there are ways they could finagle around the three endings, like she sounded a little indecisive in the empress ending about actually committing, so maybe she gives it up later, and as for the bad ending... well, it was also implied Geralt died in that one but he's still there at the end in Blood and Wine, I suppose she could also theoretically come back at some undisclosed time. I would be kind of cheap to undermine choices in the third game like that, and you do make some good cases for other main characters anyway.

When you come to think of it, Ciri is actually a boring character. She is the focal point of the Witcher story, but not really an acting character. Her own arc is just a coming of age story. Once she reaches the point where she has the depth to be interesting as a playable character, she either fades into obscurity by becoming just another traveling monster slayer or becomes a powerful politician. Both scenarios by themselves are not really interesting to explore in a Witcher game. What made Geralt so captivating as a character is that his journey constantly revolved around both these worlds, ultimately even having them collide when his efforts pitted the armies of Skellige and Nilfgard against the Wild Hunt.

I am baffled at why more don't think of such scenario. In the standalone Gwent game, there has been ton of cards and background exploration of different witcher schools, events from right after the conjunction of the spheres, Alzur's experiments etc. This is the time when people are not yet dominant race on the Continent, the human mages are being taught magic by the elves. The monsters are still aplenty, there are dragons posing threat to growing settlements and witchers are just being formed as profession and they thrive in the dangerous environment. We have to remember that Geralt's times are already when witchers are a dying breed, even Geralt itself is suffering from lack of mission or sense in his life (at least in the books in the begining - later on he has Ciri) We could also explore some Lara Dorren + Cregenan from Lod politics, or Falca timeline, plenty of other interesting locations, elvish cities at their prime, maybe more of Nilfgaard or Zerrikania just like xLetalis mentioned. I mean, this just too much of space for a new story, although lacking Geralt will be a hit in the stomach.

I think it's best to see a fresh take on W4 - brand new main character that gives excellent writers at CD Project their freedoom on making a compelling story BUT still similar to W3 and W2 let's you import a few options based on previous playthroughs including cameos from past game's results.

Especially thinking about the Ciri as emperor ending to bring peace and prosperity to the new empire. There is also a lot of potential for the elves and their return and end of the racism.

Mages would be interesting but probably dilute the essence of “the witcher” - the games/lore are distinct in part because they feature this unique species/group of individuals while acknowledging that bigger, more important things are going on in the world. I just hope they stick to what they did so well in tw3: consistent characters (despite a significant amount of agency), immersive world building, and attention to detail. Other aspects such as appearances from our favorite characters and well-written music would be icing on the cake (Kaer Morhen theme is still such a tear jerker!!). I really hope cdpr doesn’t pull what netflix did to vesemir in season 2 and butcher the cast we know and love - don’t know if i could live with that version of reality lol

A mage protagonist is a problem lore-wise because mages do not wander around doing odd jobs. Either you'd be a local healer / witch, an advisor to a monarch, or off at one of the colleges doing your own thing. One of the defining characteristics of mages in the Witcher universe is how self-absorbed they are, which makes them terrible protagonists for an open-world style game.

Overall 3 was awesome (especially the quest structure and meaningfullness of the choices you made in them), but the movement was janky at times. And I'd love to see the ability to jump while in fights for example. I share your concerns when looking at CP2077 thou. The quests there didn't feel nearly as involved as the ones in the witcher. And to be honest the whole Johnny Silverhand part of the story felt tacked on in the last year of development. And please don't let Ciri be the protag... don't get me wrong Ciri is a good character but not a good protag for a witcher game. As for sorcerers and/or mages being playable... I'd rather play a witcher again myself but I can see it being appealing to a lot of witcher fans to add it. Things I'd like to really see in 4: A deeper contracts system. One where you actually dive into what kind of monster you are going to fight and discovering how to best prepare for the fight.

My theory is, that after the "witcher ending" Ciri will make her own school (school of Lynx) and she will train witchers without mutations, just physical strength and speed. In this case, we could make our own character and begin the game when you "finish your training" (or there will be some final exam which could be tutorial). For the snow, my only theories are that the school will be located somewhere north, (you know because of secret or because of training in cold) or our character could head to destination of some ice continent, where monsters started doing their thing. That's it hope you all liked it...

Watching this video again a while later, I can see them placing the next game either in the gap between the books and Witcher 3, or a short time after the BaW DLC. At the latter point, they have a lot of freedom, with current speculation suggesting that Ciri is alive in all W3 endings. They could be used to control which highly varied prologue occurs, and somewhere in Act 1 the paths converge, allowing a unified core with the many tiny details they use. Imagine questlines that differ depending on which W3 save you imported. In two cases, for example, you can visit and interact with Geralt and his romance in Corvo Bianco.

They clearly won't be using characters from Witcher 3 and i simply despise stories set in the same universes without the known characters, especially when it comes to sequels, where everyone is long dead and you're playing some new unknown characters. It's just incredibly depressing, particularly in RPGs as you form emotional bonds with characters. :( Would be fine if it was a completely different universe with it's own story though. But i just can't bring myself to play another Witcher game where the likes of Geralt, Ciri, Yenn...etc are dead or otherwise don't exist anymore, it's soul crushing. I know it's realistic, but if there is one thing i like about games is that stories don't need to ''end''or be realistic, real life is shit as it is with losses.
