I'm not sure how I'd feel about playing a Witcher game not as Geralt (which they seemed to confirm after W3 came out).

I know what you mean. I'd definitely be interested in a game where you play as Ciri, for instance, but Geralt is such a strong protagonist that I don't know if I could stop myself from constantly drawing comparisons. I guess they could do an 'early years' Geralt game, not directly connected to any existing stories. Or maybe something completely different. I'm willing to hear them out.

I'd be happy with a standalone Ciri game or maybe one playing as Vernon Roche.

A spy thriller-style game as Roche could be amazing.

Is that not the horses name? Sorry I know next to nothing about Witcher stuff.

Roach the horse, Vernon Roche is the leader of Temeria's secret service, and in W3 he's leading their guerilla force on the outskirts of Novigrad.Animalmother wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 1:46 pmIs that not the horses name? Sorry I know next to nothing about Witcher stuff.

While I loved the interplay between Geralt and Ciri in W3 tbh I don't find her interesting to play, and canonically she's OP so not sure how they'd get round that.DjchunKfunK wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 12:26 pmI'd be happy with a standalone Ciri game or maybe one playing as Vernon Roche.
Roche, I'm not sure about either. Again, good supporting character, not sure about the potential to be a lead.
What they actually said was W3 was the end of Geralt's story (without checking to confirm), I wonder whether they'd do a prequel game covering the first war with Nilfgaard or something like that, and cover more of what was in the books.

They only said it would be set in the same world, not that it would follow any of the characters in particular. I'd be absolutely fine with being able to create my own character and follow whatever stories and plot they create completely apart from what's come before. The world has plenty of potential without needing to be linked to the previous stories.

I hadn't considered the possibility of making your own character, but you're right. Of the available options that's probably my favourite, actually.Strudel wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 2:00 pmThey only said it would be set in the same world, not that it would follow any of the characters in particular.

There's definitely scope for the character to be chosen from several "factions":
Witcher. Nuf Sed.
Soldier of Nilfgaard/Redania - classic melee fighter class
Sorceress of The Lodge - Mage-like
Given how each would be responded to by different people in the game, there could be a lot of gameplay in just those.

A ray traced Velen Swamp would look pretty amazing and also probably require a beefy PC to run.
