We’ll just have to see what explanation they give. Did she get herself mutated eventually? Are the potions diluted/weaker? (I remember a quest where Geralt feeds a normal human a small dose of one of his potions.)

Would it be more interesting to have a Ciri that specifically doesn’t have most of the Witcher powers? Maybe, but I can understand them wanting to keep most of the gameplay staples. It looks like they are trying to keep most of Geralt’s moves and then adding some new ones.

Whatever happens, it should be interesting! I think what I’m most excited about is Ciri has a different morality and worldview - I’m excited to see how that ends up affecting the writing.

Of course I’m not taking it for granted it will be good, but I am hopeful.

Sadly, none of this denoted a happy ending. Though the wounds on Lena's body healed, the toxins in the witcher's brew had melted her mind. This was not the first time a cure had proven worse than the disease

The witcher potions are RIDICULOUSLY toxic
