"You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" (www.gamesradar.com)

The first game didn't have much in the way of story. The focus was on the puzzles and adventuring. I don't think that makes her less of a woman character. In a video game, the assets are the only difference, anyway. Not that women can't be rough and adventurous and physical and like guns.
