Games

You're joking but I feel like that would satisfy EVERYONE's fantasies

I would crowdfund the shit out of that.

I liked gwent. Tried the app, didn't understand wtf was happening, deleted it.

I hoped for a witcher (whichever gender) from one of the other schools, tbh

I did. The games already completely shit on the ciri book lore. I was hoping for a fresh slate with new characters, perhaps during a different time period entirely.

I'd argue each CDPR game improves on the one before including cyberpunk, but since it was a new franchise and perspective it was like creating witcher 1 all over again except... The combat offered more choice that the witcher games, better 3d level design, pretty solid endings (better than deus ex, and mass effect).

They will cyberpunk this, because they also witchered Cyberpunk. As in "delivered less than promised and then mostly fixed it with patches".

Might be a character redesign. Geralt definitely got that treatment from 2 to 3.

I agree.

As someone else pointed out, Geralt looked quite different in the game vs the first cinematic launch trailer.

So who knows, time will tell. Also keep in mind it’s a new engine

I was praying for Letho even though we all knew it was going to be Ciri (for better or worse, we'll see).

Leaning into the moral grey of the Witcher world with Letho would have been awesome, he says (in one of the endings to his story) he'll head out east over the mountains so we could have gotten some all-new environments and it would have been 100% CDPR IP so they could have done whatever they wanted without trampling over lore too much. Plus Letho is just an amazing character with huge protagonist energy. Oh well.

What's wrong with unreal engine 5...

Hey maybe then we can get player character shadows that aren't nightmare demons
