    Is it just me or is her face a bit weird? Like too much jaw?

    I’d love to play the game as Ciri though, hope they make up a good story, it felt the Wild Hunt was her story, IDK what can top that.

      I agree.

      As someone else pointed out, Geralt looked quite different in the game vs the first cinematic launch trailer.

      So who knows, time will tell. Also keep in mind it’s a new engine

      Her face looks longer to me. I assume they’re trying to make her look more like a real person.

        Problem is (well, not really, but still), she already looked like a real person. Personally know people who look a lot like Ciri, it’s not the most uncommon look in Slavic countries.

        It may be just the trailer. In some scenes, she looks like herself from the 3rd game, just aged, but in most, she looks a bit… weird. It’s really hard to tell what’s going on because when you try to compare the models, they do match up.

      Reminds me of xiv. It always looks great ingame but half the time their cgi trailers mess up peoples face anatomy

      It looks like they created a monster trying to fit a bunch of features in a face. It’s on all thumbnails, same as clickbait videos. It’s a marketing stunt.

        I was not commenting on her attractiveness, just that the defining character features seem to be different. She doesn’t look “older” or less attractive to me from Wild Hunt, just a different person.

        It’s not as bad as when they dropped the voice actor for Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell though.

        You’re the one taking it to gooner/sexist territory, us fans of the series know the characters and when the overall face-shape changes but keeps defining features like the scar on her cheek, it’s a little unexpected and strange at first.

          Me, a fan, instantly recognized her and noticed nothing “weird” about her. Caring at all about her jaw shape or whatever intrinsically makes you a gooner.

          And honestly, you’re fucking weird for even responding to me.
