Stands to reason she’s has her face broken once or twice.
The skin looks a bit too smooth for a medieval setting, but maybe its magic 🤷
she is so magical that the biggest baddest faction was hunting her most of her life, only fair it also grants perfect skin.
Ah, YA rules.
Probably. Her adopted mother, the witches, do this, so maybe they taught her.
I blame UE5 though
Maybe it’s Maybelline
This is more psychotic than any of the dialogue in American Psycho.
Oh, it is not. It is on par with the book.
The book is faaaaaar more psychotic than the movie.
Is it more American too
You like Huey Lewis And The News?
Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip To Be Square”. A song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also a personal statement about the band itself.

Do you like Ice Nine Kills?
Their early work was a little bit too scene for me But when The Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own Commercially and artistically The whole album has a refined melodic sensibility that really makes it a cut above the rest
Source. I just can’t see anything related to American Psycho anymore without thinking of Ice Nine Kills’ brilliant homage to it
Haha. Listening to it right now, didn’t realize your comment was from it.
Not gonna lie, that track slaps. I’ve heard a couple other songs from them, and also thought they were too scene for my liking.
Although I do quite like their “walking on sunshine” with reel big fish. I think that’s the only song I heard previously of theirs that I liked.
I’ll check out some of their other stuff. Thanks for posting.
I’ve listened to Every Trick in The Book a few too many times and its really cool for capturing the ambience of books you may or may not have read in high school. My favorite song by them is Me, Myself and Hyde which does some really cool stuff with Dr Jeckyl’s parts being performed in clean vocals with acoustic strings accompanying and Mr Hyde’s parts in unclean vocals, with Mr Hyde taking over more and more as the song progresses.
Bloodbath and Beyond is another strong contender as well
Probably a little bit at least, because Christian Bale is Welsh.
I feel like the author wanted me to get bored by the over the top depravity and violence as part of the feel of the book and the characters mindset.
On the plus side, it was an effective technique that worked and added to the character of the book.
On the downside, it worked and made the later parts of the book obscenely tedious.
Bet this guy can tell someone’s IQ by their
skin colorskull shape.oh noooo a fictional female character that is not catered for my wanking needs boohoo
I’m more worried about her having mutation potions (and them working instantly, but that’s more expected), they better have a damn good reason for her body not melting
They pretty explicitly make it sound like she underwent Witcher mutations in the meantime. How that happens, I have no idea, maybe it’ll be a plot point in the game? If they hand-wave it away I’ll be disappointed
Yeah I was also wondering as soon as I saw her cat-like eyes… Thought it’s not possible anymore but let’s see. Hopefully they’ll explain it
Wasn’t one of the endings of Witcher 3 that Ciri goes through the trial of the grasses and becomes a witcher? Seems pretty damn possible to me.
I can’t remember but I thought that for the Witcher ending I had she didnt go through the trials. I mean one reason is iirc that there is noone knowing how to do it.
What’s a couple decades with a dying witcher school, the world’s most powerful sorceresses and the ability to teleport to the dimension where magic was birthed?
I’m pretty sure Yenn or Triss mention how trivial it would be for them to figure out the potions and transmutations required to make the trials happen but the Witchers are very, very against an outsider touching it all. The original plans were made by a sorceress in any case.
I’m sure they’ll have a perfectly reasonable way of explaining how she went through the trials.
I’m not very deep into the lore but aren’t there other Witcher schools that might not necessarily see the transformation the same way the wolf school came to see it?
Yeah, totally. As far as game lore goes I don’t see why they can’t change that. As far as we can see all of the schools had widely varied ideologies. What is good, what is evil, contract killing and more. I see no reason in established lore that another school couldn’t have had female witchers or why the Lodge wouldn’t want to get their hands on the recipes to revive the witcher schools.
And even if it was possible, why would it be done to her given the high mortality rate of that ritual?
I think this is from the movie Thank You For Smoking. I think about it all the time. They were discussing having a paid advertisement of an astronaut smoking in a space station. One character points out it wouldn’t work because of the pure oxygen environment being explosive. The other character responds “We’ll just say ‘oh thank God we invented the whatever device!’” It’s sort of become an in joke with my wife about rough edges of plots in sequels.
I haven’t played any of the games, so I don’t really know why they couldn’t.
She looks 40, now as a 30 year old I couldn’t have less of a problem. At this stage of my life I prefer my women to look like they’ve been an adult for a while.
I find her extremely well made, kinda like I imagined when reading the book: full of scars, beefy, and angry at the stupidity of tradition (recurring theme in the books)

You can learn it practically if you take a couple of anatomy classes oriented towards a medical career. A good chunk never really get used outside of precision in documentation, if it’s a specialty (everyone says “cheek”, but the dentist says “buccal”), or if the common term is actually too vague to work with (broken arm -> greenstick fracture of the left radius)
Taking an anatomy class to talk like a plastic surgeons billing notes is just weird.

Women bad.
One of the reasons I avoid the gaming communities. So much complaining / whining / negativity / cynicism.
Misogyny, racism, transphobia, toxicity, unfunniness, bullying. Fuck gaming communities. I’ll play my single player games and seldom post anywhere about them.
This is like the lame version of those people who can locate your position on the globe by analysing the only visible cloud in one of your photos.
more like mentally unwell people who get that invested in the media they come to analyze the bone structure of a character and link it as a reason to some imaginary wokeness
Yeah it’s sad. I’ve also seen a lot of people crying because Ciri is just sooo boring. I’m guessing those either didn’t play or like W3.
I will say I’m disappointed in the voice actor change as I liked the original VA, but any fan will get over that pretty quickly.
Her facial shape or whatever does look slightly different from W3 Ciri in ways that don’t happen just with age but given the new engine and whatnot, who cares :) (also a Witcher goes through many physical changes so it fits lore-wise also)
My only gripes with that choice is that Ciri is a leap more powerful than Geralt, and has the training of a Witcher, so it feels a bit DBZ-esque of the ever more powerful enemy/hero. But, otherwise, Ciri is the natural continuation of the game series.
My biggest gripe is also the power level. Witcher 3 already sets her potential way above Geralt which means for Witcher 4 they most likely will nerf her powers to not make her a, living god. Personally I would’ve preferred if they hadn’t used Ciri in the first place because it’s bound to create retcons.
Or if they wanted to make a story about Ciri they should’ve focused on who she is (someone with elder blood) not on who she isn’t (an actual Witcher). She doesn’t need Witcher powers, her innate powers are already way stronger than what a Witcher gets.
Must be the same kind of person that cares what a man’s canthal tilt is.
Say what
Tilt-tilating
I wish she had sharper rather than rounder features to resemble her model in W3 closer, but I don’t see anything wrong with her new look, and anyone who does should probably touch grass.
Also, I’m an inveterate enemy of the braid
I agree with everything you’ve said, but with the comment that the trailer as a whole had uncanny valley vibes to me. I think that the red pill crowd don’t know how to properly voice their complaints. They see the model look different like you said and they like it less. Maybe they see the same sort of general weirdness in the characters like I do. Then they chalk it up to making characters less perfectly beautiful because they’re going woke lol.
