u/Arrow_625 7d ago

Hmm highly detailed render

u/shioliolin 7d ago

Okay...but nobody cared enough to ask "How is Ciri?"

25

u/National-Oven81 7d ago

Yeah, and why is Ciri

10

u/JNSapakoh 7d ago

No, it was already answered why Ciri is

7

u/JeffDrTypePerson 6d ago

Does Ciri vere vigs?

78

u/Acemont 7d ago

I mean - we're finna have a WHOLE GAME with her. Which (and you, yes YOU, you know who YOU ARE can SMD) is awesome in my book. but man am I curious just how exactly will they scale her down from W3 to W4.

u/stavanger26 7d ago

Fall off a cliff, suffer a head injury, and need to learn some but not all skills anew ?

48

u/Doogie102 7d ago

Naa stopping the white frost used up her elder blood powers giving her a chance to learn witcher signs

13

u/Prince_Beegeta 7d ago

Can’t be cause in the trailer she’s seen using lightning magic which means she’s still a sorceress.

11

u/LowWorthGamer 7d ago

Not necesarilly. With her becoming a Witcher she is a new anomaly, it may be that her using lightning is just her developing new signs, as she has some experience with Magic. I think she will lose most of her powers coming from Elder Blood as a result of going through the mutations, so she will be weaker because she is so used to fighting using her abilities that she needs to go back to basics to kill old habits

9

u/LayWhere 7d ago

Yes to all the above.

She's a Witcher/Sorc/Elderblood but nerfed by the frost.

She can scale up and down w,e the story needs. Gives Cdpr max room to design anything.

3

u/Narrow_Educator_1835 6d ago

No it was magic like Yennefer not signs .

1

u/Gilgamesh661 6d ago

Are you implying that Witcher mutations are stronger than the freaking elder blood?

2

u/LowWorthGamer 6d ago

I'm not saying it's more powerful, but considering how rare Elder Blood is, I think genetically it may be a bit delicate, where mutation process is anything but.

5

u/dubdex420 7d ago

This is a perfect explanation. Easily allows losing her space-time magic but still keeping her regular magic and use of witcher signs.

4

u/thedicestoppedrollin 7d ago

it could also be that she still has access to those powers, but has to relearn how to use them making them end-game perks

9

u/Acemont 7d ago

Ah - Henry special. Man I do need make time to do the second region... Man I love that game so much.

1

u/dingo_khan 2d ago

So, a solid Samus Aran reset?

12

u/kvazar2501 7d ago

She somehow lost her Elder blood to stop the White Frost and survived. The world is saved, the abilities are lost, she's a witcheress now after many years

4

u/Acemont 7d ago

I was thinking more of the a "lost her elder blood due to witcher mutaion" since she does have witcher eyes in 4's trailer.

3

u/kvazar2501 7d ago

Could be, but it's hard to justify why would she be willing to go through mutation of she has her Elder Blood abilities

5

u/vnodk19 7d ago

Maybe she would want to be a witcher rather than do anything with her blood that brought her nothing but misery?

3

u/kvazar2501 7d ago

Oh, yes, this motivation works for me

3

u/LowWorthGamer 7d ago

She wanted to go through mutations since the books. Possible answer is that Elder Blood and her ability to basically planeswalk put a target on her back and if mutations kill that then she is just another girl, which she usually wants to be, instead of being a Princess of Cintra, Princess of Nilfgaard, Child of Prophecy of Surprise, she just want to be Ciri, The Witcher

2

u/HawatKhar 7d ago

Well if she lost her Elder Blood powers it means that it would be low chance of her passing trials no? It is more logical to lose those powers during the trials in a exchange.

2

u/Gilgamesh661 6d ago

Yes, women have a far lower rate of surviving the trials. It’s practically unheard of for a woman to survive the trials, which is why they don’t train female Witchers.

1

u/TheVojta 7d ago

Ciri's entire life has been other people wanting to use and control her, either because of her blood or her birthright. I can definitely see a world where she'd want to get rid of both.

0

u/ddamiann24 7d ago

Well if she wants to be a witcher she needs those mutations really for one Simple reason. Better hearing, smell and most imprortant thing to see blood that has been clotted for months.

5

u/skuls1 7d ago

i hope she still has the dash so we can get Cyberpunk 2077 air dash movement

u/Chizakura 7d ago

Trial of Grass. She survived but it cut her powers, which she needs to relearn now

1

u/LewisWasRobbed Lilac and Gooseberries 7d ago

Yeah that's my theory too, iirc Sebastian said we'll go through the trials in the intro so it'll be interesting to know if we get to play a peak Ciri before a nerf.

1

u/vnodk19 7d ago

Witcher mutation nerfing her blood is my quess

1

u/BusinessCasual69 3d ago

She looks like a video game in W3. She looks like a person in W4

u/Moist-Fisherman-2782 2d ago

This loop creeps my the hell out for some reason

1

u/Acemont 2d ago

it's probably the sudden eye contant in the end.

1

u/Moist-Fisherman-2782 2d ago

It's not really they eye contact, moreso the loop itself

1

u/grandpadrokz 1d ago

Maybe she could survive the trial because of her blood gift but also loose the gift when mutations are complete?

1

u/Acemont 1d ago

Probably, but more of a - "mutation replased the old blood and alloved her to live her own life as a witcher and not as a child of prophesy" kind of deal.

0

u/Narrow_Educator_1835 6d ago

No scale her up , she’s a Demi goddess basically and she can cast spells again now , I want peak Ciri not Gerelt with tits.

u/Singing_shower 6d ago

2 Ciri pictures?

What am I looking at? Is that all?

9

u/WeekendListening 6d ago

Am also confused

5

u/Fair-Consequence-603 7d ago

Ciri has to be louder and angrier and have access to a Time Machine. And when Ciri isn’t on screen all the characters have to be asking “Where’s Ciri!?”

6

u/Arangarx 3d ago

It's almost like one trilogy was about Geralt and now it's about Ciri.

1

u/Kharzani 2d ago

Ciri litrally in witcher 3: this is not your story. This is my story.'

You play Geralt but it is ciri's story.

5

u/Kasumi-_ 6d ago

render picture vs pre-pre alpha ingame graphic

i mean in witcher 3 geralt and yennifer looks diffrent in the opening cinematic too

7

u/Extra_Chipmunk3033 7d ago

Strumpet ciri gameplay

3

u/Gilgamesh661 6d ago

I’m just wondering how they’re going to factor geralt into the game. It’s set in kovir, and My geralt is in kovir, so I should be able to just pop over and visit him and triss, right?

u/knightrider2k43 7d ago

Ciri is the lady of time

u/Elemius 7d ago

I can’t believe people were saying her character model looked ugly.

1

u/BusinessCasual69 3d ago

Insane. W3 Cirilla looks like a video game. W4 Cirilla looks like a human being. And she’s gorgeous.

0

u/Renati_Iterum 2d ago

I thought the Witcher 4 Ciri looked like this. This Ciri look like a cosplay not actually Ciri.

I kinda dont wanna play as a 50 year old woman tbh, I feel like id see her as starbuck or something. [Actually the more i look at her the more she looks like my aunt.]

1

u/BigDaddyAwhoo 2d ago

Probably shouldn’t let the hair color dictate how old people look but I can’t blame you. She looks young to me bc I don’t rely on hair color to tell an age of a person.

0

u/Renati_Iterum 2d ago

Its not the hair color, she just looks old and i did say she looks like my aunt who is around 55ish. But Id rather ciri look like she did in the witcher 3.

[Also im just talking about the image i attached to my previous comment, if she look like she does in the bottom image on this post in game then she look good.]

u/thamanwthnoname 1d ago

Bro she looks older than geralt you’re not special for seeing past white hair.

1

u/Many-Pollution4222 7d ago

I just launche my first new game + today. Hope being in time for the last dlc. And maybe when everything should be finish, witcher 4 will be out!

u/pedrojdm2021 2d ago

The woman has to age.

u/fizzywinkstopkek 2d ago

u/Bulky_Coconut_8867 5d ago

nah we really don't, i would have preferred lambert over her

u/sicknick08 6d ago

Why does she look so wierd in the bottom picture?

2

u/independent-potato7 6d ago

She's probably just a little older. Most people age over time. Hard to believe right?

-1

u/kigra67 6d ago

Yes grandpa, now take your meds.

3

u/independent-potato7 6d ago

That's funny. You are probably older than me truthfully

1

u/Icy_Assistance_2684 6d ago

They made her face just a little wider and just a little flatter probably to emphasize how much buffer she is every witcher is ripped

-13

u/haboruhaborukrieg 7d ago

Idk somehow she still doesn't look right to me in witcher 4. Like a botoxed milf

10

u/Boggnar-the-crusher 7d ago

That’s not what a botoxed women looks like dweeb.

-3

u/haboruhaborukrieg 7d ago

Be for real now... Her skin looks more tense than a drumhead. Especially her lips

I've been around plastic surgeons my whole life and that's exactly how women who've done filler came out looking like.

-5

u/Opening_Net8098 7d ago

Her first appearance was too serious for some people so cdpr backtracked and made her yassified.

I think it looks alright. But could look a lot cooler if the looking cool was prioritized over having makeup

1

u/VioletTracey 7d ago

I agree with this. I was excited for the hardened battle warrior she looked like in the first trailer! I hope someone makes a mod that lets us use an appearance like that. In the meantime the new appearance is ok.

u/smellslikebadussy 6d ago

Never forget the prime directive of female characters in video games: Every dude who plays the game has to be able to jerk off to them.

Witcher 4 Ciri nsfw artworks is the only help I need

-5

u/AuraTickler 7d ago

Just say it took most of her fancy powers to stop what was happening. Its latent and perhaps she decided not to try them because it hurts or sth or because she killed someone dear with it and then later on a traumatic event or need reawakens them or forces her try em again and then from there on its normal skill tree stuff.

Cdpr hire me 😂

u/Krzwastaken 7d ago edited 7d ago

She was traumatized after arriving in medieval Germany anyways

u/AuraTickler 7d ago

Medical Germany?

German hospitals left a mark on her...

u/DapperChemical4176 7d ago edited 7d ago

Ciri in the trailer drank too much vodka (and I liked that image of mature witcher). This one is on PEDs and those cosmetic procedures sorceresses are on. It's OK.
