Another male character replaced by the female protege. It's a tired and unpopular trope.
Funny how it doesn't happen with female characters, like Lara Croft? ALways goes one direction and it's tiring.

Why would I want to play a girl in next witcher? Geralt is the witcher I'm supposed to play someone who is not the witcher in the next witcher? No I'm more looking forward to the remaster of 3 now

They made Ciri too powerful by the end of part 3. It doesn't make any sense to play her.

The Witcher book series made Ciri the protagonist of several novels. This is not done because of some cultural nonsense, but to explore specific topics of hypocrisy, duplicity etc.. that are integral to The Witcher's world and themes.
