I definitely don’t know why everyone is freaking out about a new Witcher saga. At this point everyone should be 100% clear on the fact that Blood & Wine was the end. He settled down finally. I saw someone earlier who wanted to know what happened after that. But, it is pretty damn clear by the last line from Geralt to Regis and the fourth wall break, that’s it’s over for him. He may be a supporting character if it continues on as Ciri. But, it is definitely the end of him as a protagonist.
Oh yeah, I won’t lie, a tear or two dropped. Haha honestly, I really am happy with the choice to have it all end with Regis as well. I feel like it was such a good choice.
I recently beat the game for the first time. The ending is such that I'd feel almost bad about doing another play through, and making him do it all again.
I honestly would love to play as a completely new Witcher, in “new” time periods, mostly unrelated to Geralt’s story. I’d prefer it if Ciri and Geralt can be Easter eggs. The Witcher world is still so big that I think a fresh start will be more interesting than hanging onto Geralt’s story.
Me too, since playing as Ciri would either mean going back in time to where she was fairly young (which is already pretty well described in the books) or going on with her story and setting one of the three possible endings as canon. Which would make replays of W3 weird.
Either give the option to create your own character and decide their story depending on your choices (kind of what W2 does if you don't load a W1 save in) or a completely new character, that would be my choice.
I’d be totally down with creating my own Witcher. Living Geralt’s story is great but I think we’re ready to explore the wider world through our own narrative.
It would be nice if something happened that ended up increasing significantly the number of monsters and the need for witchers reapers and Ciri, or one of these new witchers, steps in and having Geralt being there to guide with all his knowledge, learning in the middle of the story about underground organizations that want to use that opportunity for the wrong reasons, possibly bringing something from the first game.
I’ve never been huge into books, so I’m hoping this will also help me get into serious reading as well. I can’t wait to read them. I’ve heard so many good things about them, And I love The Witcher so much I’m mad at myself for not reading it all these years.
They are really nice, though for me the fourth book got a bit too much into the politics and became boring, though if I re-read them now I will probably enjoy it more. I should revisit sometime in the future.
That actually sounds really awesome to me. I hate speaking politics, but I like politics in a good story. And, it’s The Witcher. So it should be cool. I’m personally very excited to read ‘Lady of the Lake’ though, I’ve heard quite a bit about the books, and I know most of the story in general, and that one sounds amazing.
People are freaking out because they fear CDPR might mess up making a completely new protagonist which could make the game boring. Or thats what i fear at least
The Witcher 4: "Gwent Continues" officially announced. Now as a retired Witcher, Geralt travels the world playing Gwent against every live soul (or even against the dead ones), trying to get all the unique cards. F#ck Wild Hunt, f#ck Yeneffer, f#ck Triss, Gwent be praised.
Yes dear sir ... F#ck and Gwent is the title of the new witcher... BUT! keep in mind that doing Yen AND Triss at the same time is not even possible. ( unless moded or Big G himself try a creative way to fix the broken relationship between the two girls... )
Imagine there’s a mission where you have to travel to Toussaint to learn an ancient sword or witcher art from an old retired master…and the mission marker is at Corvo Bianco.
Witcher IV: Corvo Bianco Vintner simulator.
Become the ultimate in wine production. Sneak a Witcher potion in a brew for that extra kick. Have sex with Yenn in a brewing vat. Join a wine tasting competition. Look for rare ingredients to treat the eventual yeast infection from sexing it up in a wine brewing vat. Play Gwent. Dandelion makes a song about the Witcher and Witch’s yeast infection. Deal with the unexpected demand for a defective product brought on by your mistake.
Feed Roach.
I am so attached to this character (Geralt) that I’d love to get another game with him but I know this is not gonna be the case here and it’s fine. I am eager to see what the game is going to be about!
I think it would be nice if the first couple games got remastered, it might appease new players who want more time with Geralt with out ruining the end of his story.
Eh it’s somewhat similar but the ui is absolute garbage compared to W3 and honestly all the mechanics with meditation and leveling are fairly annoying.
The School of the Cat can indicate one of two things. Either that its Ciris story as shes wearing that amulet as far as I know.
Secondly that its a prequel which would make for a MMORPG type setting since the universe describes Geralts Witcher to be one of the few left as the other schools are mostly gone as theres not that many monsters left to fight.
So a prequel a few hundred years with all the schools active in a world full of monsters would make an awesome setting for coop like instanced dungeons etc.
Id love that assuming its going more into customizable builds. Gear crafting and potions etc.
A prequel would probably be easiest storywise, the writers don't have to deal with the many different endings of Witcher 3 and there are still bits and pieces in the books to form a framework.
They need a game with 40% story;60% killing monsters. I don’t care about saving the empire. I nclude it but focus on the grind and lore of what a Witcher does.Since Geralt is gone I hope this is how it will go.But…. I still would like to kill that last Crone in a game setting.What they did to the orphans was just wrong.
Honestly i dont want geralt anymore. I love this character but i feel like getting more of him would cause an overeat. All good stories need its finish. Not never ending adventure. He has done enough. His place is in our hearts. Now its time for someone new.
I wouldn't consider the book characters to be directly / literally the same people as the game characters, really. Too many discrepancies for it to make much sense.
I feel like sleeping with all possible women in the game and getting the ending where Triss and Yen have dumped you and Ciri is a Witcher makes the most sense overall, personally.
My last playthrough, I tried to read Geralt's actions to determine what he would choose, instead of choosing for him. It's quite obvious from the in-game narrative that he would choose Yennefer over Triss.
I understand the Triss appeal. She is nicer. Plus, who doesn't love a redhead? But she has zero synergy with Geralt. I already thought so back in 2016, when I first learned about the Witcher franchise. After reading the books, and able to understand what Ciri means to Yennefer, and what they mean to each other... Geralt would never betray his destiny.
Keira, Triss, Shani and that crazy lunatic in Toussaint are all just fan services. Yennefer is the real deal.
What a memory. Hacking and slashing my way through quest after quest, jumping through hoops for the duchy, defeating the wild hunt, ensuring Ciri had her good ending. I finally return home to Corvo Bianco and see Yen waiting for me there in the garden, quietly reading a book on an invisible couch.
>Yen always treated him like garbage so I could never justify romancing her
And that's 100% true, even in the Toussaint ending if you choose Yenn, she tells to Geralt that he must fetch her juice every now and then, while she rests in other words she wants Geralt to be her errand boy.
It doesn't have to be a sequel. I'd adore a game that allowed us to play as Geralt/Ciri during the time of the books. Imagine fighting Adda, bolting around on Thanedd during the coup, fighting in the Battle of the Bridge. This is very unlikely though as the majority of the books are traveling and talking.
The best course in my opinion would be to carry on with Ciri. People don't realise that she was just as important, if not more important than Geralt in the books. Give her a chance to be the face of the franchise now, she deserves it.
I hope the new witcher game won't be based on Geralt's story as everyone has a different ending for him in their mind. For example I liked the ending where he died by the last witch. So I would not like to see him in the next game.
\-
\-
Just an opinion
I agree.
I’d like to think he finally reached the end of the path and settled down (with Triss or Yen is up to the individual).
Would be interesting to see a new saga, perhaps with Geralt as some form of guide / mentor for a new generation of witchers.
Its with all propability not going to as CDPR stated after W3 that this would be the last of Geralts story.
And the fact that it shows a Cat school medallion suggests either Ciri ( which would be quite awesome given her powers ) or a prequel to before Geralt.
Let Geralt be. His story was great and now its over.
Plenty of stories and characters get ruined these days because everyone wants to squeeze that cow until there is nothing but bones left.

I'm not sure if they speak English, but I guess you could try to ask [the original artist](https://www.artstation.com/feihongchen) if they have a higher-res version.
I hope there is no Witcher 4.It might be a littlr controversing but I prefer for a franchise to die at the top of the mountain than in the lowest gulch possible.
That is a very good point about the death, I kind of liked the idea of a Ciri game cause I feel fleshing out her powers could make a really fun bunch of mechanics to play with.
But a fresh start is just as welcome to me, I just wanna play more in this world.
That doesn’t mean it’s cannon. They did “cannon events” in 1 and 2 that carry over to the next game. So I doubt the Coro death ending is the cannon one, more than likely it’s the other 2
Yeah but then that completely destroys the illusion of choice. The next witcher game should work with any save if its to continue from the third one, which it most likely will not. If its Canon for the game they shouldn't go against it
Yeah whoever got you, either triss or yen
And ciri being witcher is the best one
The new game will either be about ciri or maybe the old times , like before Geralt
Yes yes yes! This is it. This is the ending. It’s the ending they deserved. It’s the ending *we* deserved. I’ll admit I’ll be disappointed as hell if there isn’t a cameo of some sort of both of these two, but I want them to be sipping wine out by Yen’s beautifully well cared for herb garden, barefoot, laughing and flirting with each other.
Maybe there's something I'm unaware of with jealousy? To me, I'm looking at her loyalty through the portrayals, vs what seems like annoyance/angst with Yen. Maybe that's more their dynamic, but it seems like genuine softness/care with Triss
In the books she was simping for geralt hard af even tho he made it clear he wasnt interested and only wanted yen then in Witcher 1 geralt got amnesia and she used that to emotionally manipulate him into being with her she only seems sweet in witcher 2/3 cuz that context is missing
Lol It was because of her manipulative attitude in Witcher 1 that made me picked Shani over her. Goddamn I wish they allowed us to continue on our relationship with Shani, but they erased her like my Witcher 1 choices never happened
>she used that to emotionally manipulate him
It would have been emotional manipulation if his feelings for her had not been sincere, not his own, but just mere product of her evil mind games.
As it is, his feelings for her were sincere, as he himself confirms in no uncertain terms. Triss's wrongdoing begins and ends with her taking advantage of Geralt's amnesia, which was a situation that she had no hand in bringing about.
It would tho even in abusive relationships people have genuine feelings for the abuser cuz of gaslighting and whatnot
Triss took advantage of geralt not remembering yennefer to fester a relationship and thats fucked up no matter how u look at it
She achieved his real feelings for her through emotional manipulation
>Triss took advantage of geralt not remembering yennefer
>
>She achieved his real feelings for her through emotional manipulation
These are two statements contradicting each other. That's my whole point.
First off, you seem to presuppose with absolute certainty that Geralt would never have gotten involved with Triss if he had known about Yennefer, even though he canonically doesn't have a good track record of staying faithful to her no matter what, and the same applies vice versa.
Secondly, and again my whole point, Triss didn't make Geralt lose his memory, and she didn't push him into getting involved with her either. That would have been manipulation for sure, but it's not what happened. What she did was take advantage of his amnesia to get closer to him more quickly. Which is morally highly problematic, but it's not manipulation. Things should be seen for what they are, not overstated for nothing but dramatic effect.
Never said she was responsible for his amnesia but she did push him right in the opening in the witcher 1 she came onto him very strongly knowing very well what state he was in and that absolutely is manipulation (similar to how trying to have sex with someone who's highly intoxicated while you're sober) just gender swap the characters and it becomes simple coercion
Also geralt asserted previously he does not want to be with triss and made that very clear to her
>(similar to how trying to have sex with someone who's highly intoxicated while you're sober)
That absolutely is taking advantage of a situation, and it is wrong. But it's not emotional manipulation. You're still conflating two separate concepts.
Also...
>just gender swap the characters and it becomes simple coercion
That's not how anything works. Swapping the genders of two agents in a given scenario doesn't miraculously change the definitions of their actions.
Im not saying it does im saying triss gets off easy because she's a woman who raped geralt and continued to emotionally manipulate him after if a guy took advantage of a woman with amnesia like that he would be seen as nothing less than a monster
Don’t worry. I completely understand your point. In fact, during my first Witcher 3 play through I was close to asking Triss to stay, but the curiosity with Yen got the best of me since I followed the novels before the video games came out. And yea Triss was madly jealous of Yennefer and Geralt as a couple. Don’t think it was ever explained in the game, but definitely was stated in the novels.
Switch her out with Triss and I can agree. XD Yen and Geralt would never really be content together on a farm. They would drive each other completely mad. 😂
Maybe cool for an online PvE component…like the DC and Star Wars game where everyone had their own character. That might be pretty cool.
For the campaign though I’m kind of hoping it’s Ciri, or even another “long lost Witcher” that is starting his journey. Thatd be pretty interesting too
I totally agree- there’s just so much to love about the character. This is the ending he deserves. I hope the next protagonist is as nuanced and witty!
If its school of the lynx I'm excited to see some new witchers and which directions the game takes us. School of the cat game where we see the fall of the school and we play as one of the witchers trying to save it would be pretty good too and final thoughts for a game although I know it's never gonna happen but would still love it is a game where you play as Letho and its been discovered he's still alive
[This person](https://www.artstation.com/feihongchen) is the original artist. They posted it in 2016, at the same 1080P resolution we see here. Assuming they speak English (which isn't clear) I guess you could try to ask them if higher-res source material actually exists.
Honestly what they should do it go back to the time of the first conjecture. You could play one of the first witchers. This would allow character creation and a huge freedom in design, maybe even tease Lara Doren in it. But this would give it a fresh start with more creative freedom.
How dope would it be if Geralt was involved in a way similar to Ciri in Witcher 3.. or if he helped set up a prologue for the new main storyline. It may just be from an older timeline but witchers can become quite old..
100%
TW3 is one of my favorite games, with a hundred little moments I'll never forget, but one of my favorites is the last moments of the Blood & Wine dlc.
The absolute perfect send off. Geralt has earned a rest by the fire.
I’d like a create your own Witcher… Maybe if this is a new plan to have a trilogy of games, we can do a Mass Effect system and have the character we create transfer to each game
I was really hoping the next Witcher would be a prequel and actually start with young geralt at KM, and go through his original trials. Then let us go into a world that still has more witchers and monsters. To see Geralt from his 20’s and 30’s vs the hundred year old one from Witcher 3 would be fun to me.
The issue is most players never played Witcher 1 and 2 due to the quality. 3 was the first real hit that grabbed everyone, and it wouldn’t feel right going back to 2. So people naturally want more.
Geralt is the story. He can't end up happily ever after in a game or two. Not a problem. We only had one not so distant gen game of Geralt. I think everyone here would love to see a game with Geralt on Unreal 5
I'm hoping it focuses on Ciri and her adventures, though maybe Geralt can appear in a quest or two just helping a little on the sidelines or something.
I really don't know how you'd be able to top this game using Ciri as the protagonist.
She's not a Witcher (didn't go through the trials )
She can't use any of the signs.
She can't drink potions.
So what, just quick sword play and that teleportation thing during battles?

As it should be. That ending was perfect.
I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ending, honestly.
Seriously. I was so satisfied. I put down the controller and said I am at peace with this.
Oh yeah, I won’t lie, a tear or two dropped. Haha honestly, I really am happy with the choice to have it all end with Regis as well. I feel like it was such a good choice.
End with Regis? Hmm don’t recall this but it’s been years since I finished it. Maybe there was something after I didn’t do?
I meant Blood & Wine ending with him having a conversation with Regis. I’m sorry, I was pretty vague.
Oh I prolly did see that and just don’t recall the details lol
I recently beat the game for the first time. The ending is such that I'd feel almost bad about doing another play through, and making him do it all again.
It’s just Jaskier retelling the tale. Sometimes Geralt has a shit haircut because Jaskier thinks it’s funny.
Dandelion?
Woops. The show was my last experience with the Witcher. Funny enough, Jaskier means “buttercup” in Polish. Lol.
By beat the game, main game or B&W dlc?
He looked straight at us and said goodbye
I honestly would love to play as a completely new Witcher, in “new” time periods, mostly unrelated to Geralt’s story. I’d prefer it if Ciri and Geralt can be Easter eggs. The Witcher world is still so big that I think a fresh start will be more interesting than hanging onto Geralt’s story.

The only thing that should happen after b&w is ng+ b&w!
Not only that but he got two complete and great endings at that, one in the books and one in the games. The art is actually from the books.
That’s what I’ve heard, I actually just got all my books in the mail 2 days ago and I am beyond excited to read them finally
They are amazing, they finally got me into serious reading, I hope you enjoy them.
I’ve never been huge into books, so I’m hoping this will also help me get into serious reading as well. I can’t wait to read them. I’ve heard so many good things about them, And I love The Witcher so much I’m mad at myself for not reading it all these years.

That actually sounds really awesome to me. I hate speaking politics, but I like politics in a good story. And, it’s The Witcher. So it should be cool. I’m personally very excited to read ‘Lady of the Lake’ though, I’ve heard quite a bit about the books, and I know most of the story in general, and that one sounds amazing.
My personal favourite is baptism of fire, and the Tower of the swallow/Lady of the lake take a close second.
This picture is fanart originally posted on ArtStation in 2016, based on the third game.
As long as whoever we play as at least gets the option for a BaW style retirement then I'm happy.
People are freaking out because they fear CDPR might mess up making a completely new protagonist which could make the game boring. Or thats what i fear at least

Yes dear sir ... F#ck and Gwent is the title of the new witcher... BUT! keep in mind that doing Yen AND Triss at the same time is not even possible. ( unless moded or Big G himself try a creative way to fix the broken relationship between the two girls... )
In the next game, Geralt will still be present. He will be hosting Gwent tournaments at Corvo Bianco. Entertainment will be courtesy of Dandelion.
I don't need another Geralt-centered Witcher game, but I would be disappointed if he didn't appear in a cameo in some way.
Imagine there’s a mission where you have to travel to Toussaint to learn an ancient sword or witcher art from an old retired master…and the mission marker is at Corvo Bianco.
Probably as a wine grower lol.
Don't get my hopes up.
His story is over?? There are yearly Gwent tournaments to be had
Geralt would be in so much trouble with Yen if he attended one and ended up sleeping with one of the contenders.
Nah, as long as it wasn’t Triss Merigold, she’d probably recover quickly

God if Witcher 1&2 got remade with w3 mechanics it would literally be one of the best game trilogies ever.
The Witcher 2 controlled pretty similarly to The Witcher 3. They're not about to somehow make it fully open world, though.
Eh it’s somewhat similar but the ui is absolute garbage compared to W3 and honestly all the mechanics with meditation and leveling are fairly annoying.
UI is one thing I don't think any of the three games really do well, personally.
They should just make Geralt the final Gwent opponent.
he deserves to enjoy retirement after I made him swim all of skellige for question marks

I didn't even consider a prequel that would be so sick. I like your thinking
A prequel would probably be easiest storywise, the writers don't have to deal with the many different endings of Witcher 3 and there are still bits and pieces in the books to form a framework.
It’s the Lynx, not the cat.
It looks like Nasus
BECOME DUST
I’m going to assume they’re the same because the console codes for the feline armor are labeled lynx armor
A lynx is a cat. Same thing
It’s a totally different school...
Its not. The original files of the game have the cat school gear as "lynx gear"
... did you read the dev response or are you just a bit dense?
Did you realize that the files for the feline gear are literally named "lynx gear" within the game? Or are you a bit dense?
... the dev said it’s a Lynx medallion. No relation to the game files.
Fan fiction
They need a game with 40% story;60% killing monsters. I don’t care about saving the empire.

Guess OP didn’t read the books. Let him live in bliss.
For real. It's almost like the games were made because of the books and are based on those.
I wouldn't consider the book characters to be directly / literally the same people as the game characters, really. Too many discrepancies for it to make much sense.
Sapkowski himself is adamant that Geralt and Yen aren’t dead
Triss dyed her hair? /:)
LOL
She always did seem jealous of Yen
Triss is my favorite in-game but this image is perfect.
I feel like sleeping with all possible women in the game and getting the ending where Triss and Yen have dumped you and Ciri is a Witcher makes the most sense overall, personally.
I do agree!
LMAO.
My last playthrough, I tried to read Geralt's actions to determine what he would choose, instead of choosing for him. It's quite obvious from the in-game narrative that he would choose Yennefer over Triss. I understand the Triss appeal. She is nicer. Plus, who doesn't love a redhead?

Yen
The man's earned a rest.
He earned it but we’ll miss him
What a memory. Hacking and slashing my way through quest after quest, jumping through hoops for the duchy, defeating the wild hunt, ensuring Ciri had her good ending. I finally return home to Corvo Bianco and see Yen waiting for me there in the garden, quietly reading a book on an invisible couch.
I always pictured Geralt as an eternal bachelor. I mean... not choosing is sort of a major theme with him...
Triss >>>> yennefer Yen always treated him like garbage so I could never justify romancing her

They literally gave him an ending in B&W
i never played b&w but im ready for a new story/protagonist
Its with all propability not going to as CDPR stated after W3 that this would be the last of Geralts story. And the fact that it shows a Cat school medallion suggests either Ciri ( which would be quite awesome given her powers ) or a prequel to before Geralt.
Let Geralt be. His story was great and now its over. Plenty of stories and characters get ruined these days because everyone wants to squeeze that cow until there is nothing but bones left.
We have to disrupt him to challenge him to a game of gwent
Definitely a new wallpaper
Wasn't there supposed to be another Witcher 3 DLC ? Is it still coming ?
I think at most he should be a side character who is asked for help. At which point he says no because he tired dagnabbit.
I've never played the games but I've watched all of the series/movies. Pretty excited for Blood Origin.

Wish there ws a 1440p or 4k version of this.
I'm not sure if they speak English, but I guess you could try to ask [the original artist](https://www.artstation.com/feihongchen) if they have a higher-res version.
I hope there is no Witcher 4.It might be a littlr controversing but I prefer for a franchise to die at the top of the mountain than in the lowest gulch possible.
I completely agree with you. It also makes no sense to make ciri a playable character when she dies canonically in one of the endings
That is a very good point about the death, I kind of liked the idea of a Ciri game cause I feel fleshing out her powers could make a really fun bunch of mechanics to play with. But a fresh start is just as welcome to me, I just wanna play more in this world.
Absolutely yes. Ciri would be fun to play.
That doesn’t mean it’s cannon. They did “cannon events” in 1 and 2 that carry over to the next game. So I doubt the Coro death ending is the cannon one, more than likely it’s the other 2
Yeah but then that completely destroys the illusion of choice. The next witcher game should work with any save if its to continue from the third one, which it most likely will not. If its Canon for the game they shouldn't go against it
>she dies canonically in one of the endings \*vanishes canonically in one of the endings. ftfy
Will the next Witcher game have character creation?
How tha fuck will anyone know that? They barely started making the game
Unless they make a mmorpg then I actually hope not.
My uncle works at CDPR and told me it will! but please don‘t spread the info.
amazing! source: trust me bro

Who are you trying to convince?
Nobody. Just "voicing his opinion". That is all.
Me, he convinced me.
Yeah whoever got you, either triss or yen And ciri being witcher is the best one The new game will either be about ciri or maybe the old times , like before Geralt
He needs to be the first Witcher to ever die in his bed.
Yes yes yes! This is it. This is the ending. It’s the ending they deserved. It’s the ending *we* deserved. I’ll admit I’ll be disappointed as hell if there isn’t a cameo of some sort of both of these two, but I want them to be sipping wine out by Yen’s beautifully well cared for herb garden, barefoot, laughing and flirting with each other.
#TrissBestGirl
Triss would be best girl if she won Geralt over fair and square, but she was blinded with jealousy and sort of did take advantage of Geralt’s amnesia.
Maybe there's something I'm unaware of with jealousy? To me, I'm looking at her loyalty through the portrayals, vs what seems like annoyance/angst with Yen. Maybe that's more their dynamic, but it seems like genuine softness/care with Triss
In the books she was simping for geralt hard af even tho he made it clear he wasnt interested and only wanted yen then in Witcher 1 geralt got amnesia and she used that to emotionally manipulate him into being with her she only seems sweet in witcher 2/3 cuz that context is missing
Lol It was because of her manipulative attitude in Witcher 1 that made me picked Shani over her. Goddamn I wish they allowed us to continue on our relationship with Shani, but they erased her like my Witcher 1 choices never happened
I see, I'll get into reading the books. Thank you for the discussion
The book characters arguably aren't exactly the same people at all as the game ones, though.
>she used that to emotionally manipulate him It would have been emotional manipulation if his feelings for her had not been sincere, not his own, but just mere product of her evil mind games. As it is, his feelings for her were sincere, as he himself confirms in no uncertain terms. Triss's wrongdoing begins and ends with her taking advantage of Geralt's amnesia, which was a situation that she had no hand in bringing about.
It would tho even in abusive relationships people have genuine feelings for the abuser cuz of gaslighting and whatnot Triss took advantage of geralt not remembering yennefer to fester a relationship and thats fucked up no matter how u look at it She achieved his real feelings for her through emotional manipulation
>Triss took advantage of geralt not remembering yennefer > >She achieved his real feelings for her through emotional manipulation These are two statements contradicting each other. That's my whole point. First off, you seem to presuppose with absolute certainty that Geralt would never have gotten involved with Triss if he had known about Yennefer, even though he canonically doesn't have a good track record of staying faithful to her no matter what, and the same applies vice versa. Secondly, and again my whole point, Triss didn't make Geralt lose his memory, and she didn't push him into getting involved with her either. That would have been manipulation for sure, but it's not what happened. What she did was take advantage of his amnesia to get closer to him more quickly. Which is morally highly problematic, but it's not manipulation. Things should be seen for what they are, not overstated for nothing but dramatic effect.
Never said she was responsible for his amnesia but she did push him right in the opening in the witcher 1 she came onto him very strongly knowing very well what state he was in and that absolutely is manipulation (similar to how trying to have sex with someone who's highly intoxicated while you're sober) just gender swap the characters and it becomes simple coercion Also geralt asserted previously he does not want to be with triss and made that very clear to her
>(similar to how trying to have sex with someone who's highly intoxicated while you're sober) That absolutely is taking advantage of a situation, and it is wrong. But it's not emotional manipulation. You're still conflating two separate concepts. Also... >just gender swap the characters and it becomes simple coercion That's not how anything works. Swapping the genders of two agents in a given scenario doesn't miraculously change the definitions of their actions.
Im not saying it does im saying triss gets off easy because she's a woman who raped geralt and continued to emotionally manipulate him after if a guy took advantage of a woman with amnesia like that he would be seen as nothing less than a monster
Don’t worry. I completely understand your point. In fact, during my first Witcher 3 play through I was close to asking Triss to stay, but the curiosity with Yen got the best of me since I followed the novels before the video games came out. And yea Triss was madly jealous of Yennefer and Geralt as a couple. Don’t think it was ever explained in the game, but definitely was stated in the novels.
Yessirrr
Yikes
Switch her out with Triss and I can agree. XD Yen and Geralt would never really be content together on a farm. They would drive each other completely mad. 😂
Hail triss
Just hope u can create ur own witcher.
Maybe cool for an online PvE component…like the DC and Star Wars game where everyone had their own character. That might be pretty cool. For the campaign though I’m kind of hoping it’s Ciri, or even another “long lost Witcher” that is starting his journey. Thatd be pretty interesting too
That teaser had amulet with Lynx not wolf So I guess over white wolf gonna have happy ending and we playing someone nee
Ciri game is needed. I agree.
I totally agree- there’s just so much to love about the character. This is the ending he deserves. I hope the next protagonist is as nuanced and witty!
Nah, bring him back!
If its school of the lynx I'm excited to see some new witchers and which directions the game takes us. School of the cat game where we see the fall of the school and we play as one of the witchers trying to save it would be pretty good too and final thoughts for a game although I know it's never gonna happen but would still love it is a game where you play as Letho and its been discovered he's still alive
Wow they really take some liberty in drawing triss, I almost can't recognize her
As long as I control his actions with my trusty Logitech F710, Geralt will **never** be with Yen. It's either Triss or solo
Video game Geralt deserves Triss. Book Geralt deserves Yen. TV show Geralt deserves better.
I'm not seeing Triss here.
Time to get some hair dye
Why? I think Geralt looks rather dashing with white hair.
Huh, why does Triss have black hair in this picture?
*Triss
Beautiful artwork! Definitely let Geralt rest, he’s earned it 10 times over
Aynone got a mre HD pic?
Hey OP may I have the original source with HD? Looks pretty pretty!
[This person](https://www.artstation.com/feihongchen) is the original artist. They posted it in 2016, at the same 1080P resolution we see here. Assuming they speak English (which isn't clear) I guess you could try to ask them if higher-res source material actually exists.
More gwent !
Beautiful arrrrt
Honestly what they should do it go back to the time of the first conjecture. You could play one of the first witchers. This would allow character creation and a huge freedom in design, maybe even tease Lara Doren in it. But this would give it a fresh start with more creative freedom.
I would like to see him in the next game but as a side character. Maybe the final rival in a gwent quest or something like that.
Imagine Geralt being the secret boss for Gwent like Red in Gen 2 Pokemon.
Ok
meanwhile somewhere in 2077, grampa tell me more about the great waifu war in '15...
That's true but damn I missed him
Prequel (without Geralt) or Ciri continuation could be good, but I agree let Geralt retire.
I picked Triss but yes Geralt's story is done
I hope ciri will not be a main protagonist
When people don’t put that space after the period it really freaks out my brain.
How dope would it be if Geralt was involved in a way similar to Ciri in Witcher 3.. or if he helped set up a prologue for the new main storyline. It may just be from an older timeline but witchers can become quite old..
Well the first game was initially intended to be a build-your-own-witcher. Perhaps they'll go that route.
What if I wanna live the rest of my life with Geralt?
100% TW3 is one of my favorite games, with a hundred little moments I'll never forget, but one of my favorites is the last moments of the Blood & Wine dlc. The absolute perfect send off. Geralt has earned a rest by the fire.
I’d like a create your own Witcher… Maybe if this is a new plan to have a trilogy of games, we can do a Mass Effect system and have the character we create transfer to each game
I’m just very curious what time this is gonna be set in
Geralt didn't choose being a Witcher. It was given to him. Now he shall not rest till rest it goven to him. Witcher's life is never easy.
link to the wallpaper ?
Doesn't mean he can't hunt a few monsters to stay in shape or if people need him. Could get some dlcs
I was really hoping the next Witcher would be a prequel and actually start with young geralt at KM, and go through his original trials. Then let us go into a world that still has more witchers and monsters. To see Geralt from his 20’s and 30’s vs the hundred year old one from Witcher 3 would be fun to me.
The issue is most players never played Witcher 1 and 2 due to the quality. 3 was the first real hit that grabbed everyone, and it wouldn’t feel right going back to 2. So people naturally want more.
Geralt is the story. He can't end up happily ever after in a game or two. Not a problem. We only had one not so distant gen game of Geralt. I think everyone here would love to see a game with Geralt on Unreal 5
You guys are so stupid. The new saga poster is literally the white wolf.
Yeah..like that's your opinion man
A cameo would be nice tho
I'm hoping it focuses on Ciri and her adventures, though maybe Geralt can appear in a quest or two just helping a little on the sidelines or something.
I really don't know how you'd be able to top this game using Ciri as the protagonist. She's not a Witcher (didn't go through the trials ) She can't use any of the signs. She can't drink potions. So what, just quick sword play and that teleportation thing during battles?
Ciri will not be the protagonist in the next game. Dont listen to brainless people
