honestly though, calling it woke makes me want to check it now...so ๐Ÿคท. I am not sure woke is the insult its intended to be.

"You can't just have Geralt for every single game."

I mean... Yes. You literally can.

Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby... You can create infinite video games with the same main character over and over again. Its like an infinite money glitch if the character is popular and well liked.

All of those games' characters are essentially just mascots though (other than samus). So they're not really an applicable comparison for continuing a character long term in a story focused world that tries to be somewhat grounded in terms of consequences and passage of time.

How is "woke" an insult now? What am I supposed be? Asleep?

"Im happy to work with whatever the creative team comes up with." is that a safe statement, or could that backfire, professionally?

I didn't like Witcher 3. I played the main storyline to Skellige and after a while of adventuring there, I just could not bring myself to continue the game.

I've read all the books, perhaps that has something to do with it.

I've said for years that one or more of the main characters should be prominent, but you play most of the game as a custom character and you get to choose your witcher school. So I'm sort of hoping that she's the protagonist and main character in a similar way to how she is TW3.

What does reading the books have to do with the game. The books take place before the game series. Or am I mistaken.
