is an unfortunate outcome of the circumstances of the market. Narratively, however, the stories that follow the books should have always - always! - been about Ciri.

in the next game they need to explore her trauma, the thing about ciri being so overpowered is that thanks to all the non stop trauma that happened to her, she teeters on a knife edge of using her power for good or for evil.

Absolutely. I hope & at the same time dread as to her future in CDPR's hands. Because as a playable protag she'll run the risk of being turned into a sock puppet for various player groups' interests - choose your own adventure. Maintaining HER as her will be tough, esp when exploring her trauma.

That’s what makes her a compelling character, not the played out “she’s the chosen one and doesn’t want to be” narrative they gave her in the game, let her be ruthless
