We Gotta Talk About Ciri In The Witcher 4

[@mrphillipchan2]

I never said she was ugly. I just prefer her older look which this doesn't look like.

[@KnightSaber]

The blonde actress Tricia Helfer, from Battlestar Galactica is how she should look. She is very etched & strong looking.

[@lukaluka4868]

She looks badass

[@martita4864]

My face is exactly like hers - "bloated" as some people put it - and I am a normal, 33-year-old woman. She is way more attractive than me. I think most men would LOVE for their partner to look like this in their 30s. Honestly, gamers are making themselves look like the meanest, women-hating subgroup of society. I have never seen a male character's look receive such scrutiny, down to the fat distribution in the face... Seriously, give us women a break. We are human like you. We age. We exist. What's so horrible about a woman who is over 25 being in a game, anyway? Not to mention, the vast majority of the males reacting online to this trailer are 5/10, average dudes, at best. You guys look absolutely ridiculous analyzing the facial features of someone who would be out of your league, if they were a real person to begin with...

[@marissarae3882]

​​ @martita4864 clap 👏 to this comment. The most based comment I have read regarding this subject. She looks fantastic imo. I'm so excited for this. Also this is a CGI trailer she most likely will look different in game. Everyone needs to watch all the old CGI trailers of Geralt in the past. His model looked different in game. Jumping down the games throat without even seeing what gameplay looks like. People need to relax. She looks ok....nah she looks great.

[@stundardutch5320]

Honestly gamers are sick of developers that think creating a strong female character means she needs to look and act like a man. I think the Ciri character looked fine. Lets get some good character building and story telling.

[@martita4864]

@stundardutch5320 Well, I get that and I have no issue with it. I do, however, have an issue with what I described. Gamers taking offense at a woman not looking like a 10/10 porn star. Ciri is an above average-looking woman in her 30s in this trailer. Yet, there’s stil a worrying number of men out there that just can’t stomach it. It’s childish.

[@Adanu191]

You haven't been paying attention then. I've seen plenty of make character receive that. Kratos being a prime example. I HATED how they changed him in the new god of war. Stop playing the victim.

[@martita4864]

@Adanu191 Nice strawman. I’m pointing out that gamers are making themselves look like a bunch of low lives. For victim hood to be a part of equation, there would need to be an offense taken, and I’m not offended by what’s happening. I simply think you guys are shooting yourselves in the foot. Do you seriously not see my point or do you gloss over it purposefully? Bringing up dudes discussing two versions of a bald, wrinkly, ugly guy, is not making me reconsider. It’s only strengthening my point.

[@Moose-nf9kh]

She doesn't look bad at all and she will most likely look different in the game. If you ago back and watch the witcher 3 cinematic with Yen she is not what she looks like in the game. In my opinion her becoming a witcher isn't a big deal she is basically a goddess which they will probably use that as the reason why she can handle the trial of the grasses. She always wanted to be a witcher and get away from made her be on the run which is why she probably sacrifices some of that power in order to become one. I would also say these devs can create a fantastic story since one of the better games in most recent years stroy wise is Cyberpunk 2077 and it's expansion Phantom liberty.

[@adriftwoodking]

She looks incredible, like an actual human being with flaws. But i guess she isn't an anime girl so weirdos aren't happy lol they need to go outside and talk to a girl, they won't be so mad.

[@mrphillipchan2]

She looks fine if you don't compare her to her older rendition. It's the uncanny valley of it.

[@adriftwoodking]

@@mrphillipchan2 It's called aging fool, it happens to everyone. So women are not allowed to age, or have their face slightly change shape or it's "weird" or "uncanny valley" now?. Look at a picture of your mother 10+ years ago, would you judge her face like you are here? And do you do this with all male characters or only women? This whole discussion is weird bro.

[@JJW-0]

She looks fine. I don’t know what this small portion of people complaining are on about. She looks aged. She was hella young in Witcher 3.

[@JH-fp1lw]

@@JJW-0 With all the culture war stuff of woke vs non-woke, many people have been becoming overly critical or sensitive of anything they perceive as going against their ideological views. I guess for a lot of people on the anti-woke side of the horseshoe, aspects of this trailer set off alarms in their minds as going against their views. As such many people feel the need to try to attack or form a cancel campaign of any piece of media that might not align with their ideals using anything they can criticize, in this case Ciris appearance. In my opinion both extreme sides of the ideological spectrum are guilty of what they accuse the other of, trying to eliminate any creative decision of a piece of media that might violate their ideals.

[@ayoncruz]

Considering she is older, and most probably killing monsters in the last decades or so, and got through the mutations, and is wearing layers of armor and dirt, she looks hella fine. She is a little bloated in the face, maybe a engine issue? Makes sense in the lore anyway. The voice can be because of the mutations and potion drinking. Geralt has a rusky voice because of it

[@socrazgrz]

Please remember she isnt supposed to be a beautiful sex icon, look what years of being a witcher did to geralts body. From a lore standpoint she looks fantastic she looks exactly like monster slayer who has been living a nomadic lifestyle for the last decade, she has the serious norse warrior look, i dig it

[@muntheralnajar3721]

it wouldn't make any sense for her to look pretty at 40 years old or whatever her age is (we can't know how old she is since she's mutated). she's a witcher, not a sorceress that makes herself pretty.

[@cellshade87]

Oh yeah, I forgot the original Witcher 3 dev team are gone. Now I do remember hearing they left CDProject Red and they're making their own studio and game.

[@Penemues]

Actually a lot of them are working on TW1 remake

[@cellshade87]

@@Penemues They must have split. 1 half working on the remake while the other half went to form their own Studio called Rebel Wolves. They're working on an RPG game but they haven't announced it yet. They said they're going to announce it soon.

[@lilnicky131]

im .2 seconds into this video and i swear to god if they made ciri ugly im out

[@gasserdanny6536]

I love how people feel entiteled to publish their"nuanced" opinions about this amazing trailer (toxic most of the time)without having played all the games and without having read the books and still act like they are the biggest experts. just... sit down man

[@Quettesh]

We don't know if she mutated, we've got just one trailer ffs. Changing the voice actor is a good choice, in W3 her voice actor was atrocious, by far the worst performance. Don't be one of those people expecting every female character to look like an underage anime girl.

[@stundardutch5320]

Honestly gamers are sick of developers that think creating a strong female character means she needs to look and act like a man. I think the Ciri character looked fine. Lets get some good character building and story telling.

[@Adanu191]

The devs have confirmed she's gone through the TOTG in an interview, which is lore breaking in itself. No buy, even without the original devs being gone. This is going to be DEI woke bullshit, it's easy to see the writing on the wall.

[@alexsav7427]

She looks like she did some botox injections But still it's not that bad

[@mrphillipchan2]

True! I never said she was ugly (at least I don't remember) it's just she doesn't look like an aged up Ciri from Witcher 3

[@dappers12345]

thinking that an AI could be more successful than the literal creators of the game to show you what the character looks like after a time skip is a hysterical take. Is this video satire?

I thought i was the only one who didn't like her character model in this trailer. She looks way better in witcher 3 tbh
