Default CD Projekt RED - New Witcher after Cyberpunk 2077

It just makes sense. It made sense even before the Netflix series proved to be a hit. TW3 was a masterpiece, and CDPR has set a very high bar for themselves. Perhaps too high.

People will take vacations, just like with any job.

Haha, technically any RPG can end like that if you don't reload.

Spoiler – The canonical ending is that

It has never been officially stated that any of the endings in TW3 are canon. The canon ending is whichever one the player prefers.

At least it's not a RGB ending.

The canonical ending to TW3 will be established the minute TW4 is released. And if the game is about Ciri, you can fill in your own blanks about which endings are not going to be canonical.

You're assuming the game will be directly connected to TW3. It's possible, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

RGB endings refer to Mass Effect 3, where a trilogy of choices produced 3 possible endings that were themed red, blue and green colours. It means that the payoff of the ending is not worth the invested time. Bioware did update the ending in response to criticism, to feature more of a narrative payoff.

I don't have any preconceived notions with regards to a new Witcher game setting, aside that it would have to get some degree of consent with Sapkowski, preferably with his involvement. If they developed a story with Ciri that would possibly channel a certain zeitgeist but it would have to be really well done. Some kind of gender split with characters that engage their intended audience. I hope they pick up on the TV shows Dandelion, as that is the best version of Dandelion I have seen in any media. Dandelion in W3 sort of pisses me off. Perhaps that is what they were going for.

It's a confused face, because I was confused. I'm well aware of who Ruth Bader Ginsberg is. I was much less aware of what was meant by RGB in the context of an RPG forum.

Actually it's probably so far in the future, I just don't care.

I think it could potentially be a very interesting game if they let you create a player character from a variety of classes / races like: 1. Witcher 2. Sorceress 3. Scoia'tael 4. Knight of the Order of the Flaming Rose etc. and / or perhaps some playable intelligent monsters.

Of course, I'm not entirely sure how they design a main story / quests that fit with all those backgrounds . I'd personally be up for a Age of Decadence style game where the questlines differ drastically between each class playthrough but lots of people seem to want another epic game that's 200+ hours per playthrough.

Great news, too bad it will probably be at least another 5 years before we get to play this.
