Please please please let it be Lambert and Keira Metz squabbling all over the continent as they track something stupid.

- Lambert: "Hurry up Keira, or we'll never get to town before the Nightwraiths come out!"
  
  Keira: "Well maybe if we took the actual ROAD and not walked through this field I wouldn't have stepped in a massive cow pie!"
  
  Lambert: "Uh, Keira? That's way too big to be made by a cow..."
  
  roar of a nearby Chort
  
  Keira and Lambert look at each other
  
  in unison, "RUUUUUN!"

  You should go write for CDPR. I’m already invested in this storyline.

- It's clearly gonna be Ciri

  I'd hope not, playing as Ciri sucked in Witcher 3.
  
  Have a nice day!

- I'd hope a "faceless" character like V in Cyberpunk that you can customize to your liking. I always struggle with RPGs that have predefined characters, because they often kinda go against what in my mind would be a possible personification in that world, and that potential clash makes me struggle with immersing myself in it.

  For me it's the exact opposite, I'd rather play a pre made story with a premade central character because otherwise it's this hollow "just spend some time" thing.

  Yea, playing as a no name witcher, doing Witcher things would be cool af

I've said it many times before but Letho would be my pick. Very nuanced character, big protagonist energy, CDPR original content so they don't have to worry about lore as much. Also an even better character than Geralt if you want to really lean into the morally grey side of the Witcher universe.

- I thought they were pretty clearly setting up Ciri to take the mantle in W3.

  I definitely see parts of it - at least narratively - but I think having Ciri as a full protagonist poses a lot of problems. Either you have to explain away her powers somehow - or you lean into it and end up with moving away from the Witcheriness. You'll have no Witcher senses, no potions, no signs and instead have a bunch of magic (not to mention teleportation and time travel).

- I killed him back in The Witcher 2 haha
  
  One thing I loved about the original three games - through save importing you could have a line of unbroken continuity (with only a few strange abrupt departures from the narrative.. #TeamShani)

  Letho is too cool to be killed, such a great character in my opinion. Plus he took care of Yen, you know, and he had his reasons - even if he got a bit naively manipulated. Loved the conversation with him at the end, sharing a drink.
  
  The unbroken continuity is cool, though I think very few things carry over all the way from 1 to 3? I know there is the tattoo, probably something else too.

The opinions here are like people saying they don't want to play as Zero in Megaman X4 because it was clunky in X3. Chill out, they are not copy pasting it for a dedicated game.

After the release of cyberpunk, I don’t really wanna be hyped up by promises from CDPR. We’ll see in 7-10 years how the game’ll be

- Just don't buy/play on launch day, that goes for almost every AAA open world game.

It's gonna disappoint

- I hope not, but that's the problem with releasing a game every 10 years, is that it can never live up to the hype
