    I bet the people complaining with “what about the lore” have a big overlap with the people that wanted Ciri to be a love interest in W3…

        “Uhm, actually, if you think of the historic period…”

        Or some bullshit like that. Screw these morons, seriously.

      As someone who is curious about how they are going to explain the lore (in case you haven’t read the books: Ciri forswore magic after she had to draw power from fire in an emergency situation and that nearly escalated - also, you are missing out, the books are great), I feel offended by your statement.

        I think it’s possible to have her somehow take back that magic in a desperate situation, or to have her go through the trial for some reason, too (she always was kind of interested, but Geralt didn’t allow it)

        I mean Geralt died in the books and is somehow alive for the games. A lot of stuff can happen and be explained in a way that fits with the lore good enough to spin a story around it
