!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

The canonical answer to "can girls become witchers" is no one properly knows. Citi was raised and trained by them but they didn't do the other stuff (the mutagens, trial of grasses or special diet) because they both didn't know what it would do to a girl because it had never been done to a girl and because even if it worked exactly like it would for a boy it causes sterility and she's the last member of the royal line of Cintra.

But the time of The Witcher 3, she's already older than it's normally done, so any attempt to do it would additionally have unknown results because presumably they usually start changing them from childhood for a reason, rather than taking in adult trainees.

I think in the first game they said it would kill a girl but the game got details wrong semi-frequently
