Why is Ciri a black guy....

Are they just making up their own version of the witcher ?

after they said they are gonna follow the books strictly, so strict that they are gonna have geralt not have a beard, because he supposedly hates beards

Wait so Ciri is a black guy in the books then... Ok

Well actually maybe it's a good thing. As much as I give the witcher 3 9/10 it would be interesting to see a different story unfold

No beard on Geralt T-T

Boycott

no no no screw that we dont want a different witcher version

You want the game version ??

then we want an alternate version of black panther as well

and white zulus

But you already know the story, what's the point

Hhahahhah

Hell yeah

The whites were forced under after years of black oppresiveness

And so was born

Pretori-kanda

i already know the story of X, thats a weak argument for changing the lore of an established world/franchise with both games and books that are similiar. a spin off would only hurt the brand

the games arent technicallty cannon but they are lore friendly and happen after the books

It's not a spin-off. It's the story of the books. The Witcher 3 is technically a spin-off by your logic

Oh ok

Ok but wouldn't it be better to not know how the story ends

in this case i would consider a spin-off/revamp/retelling to be one in which they change races,languages,settings,lore etc

Sure

But I mean if they're sticking to the books what's the problem

thats the thing they are not sticking to the books by making ciri black

Have you read the books and don't like the ending or something in the books story?

But you said earlier ,"after they said they are gonna follow the books strictly, so strict that they are gonna have geralt not have a beard, because he supposedly hates beards"

and if they were to do so they would need to justify it with something other than virtue signaling

Ok I understand your issue now

And I agree

That's pretty dumb if it's just to please people's "racism" alerts

geralt having a beard in the games can be justified, in the games Yen or Triss (cant remember who) asked him why he grew a beard seeing as he never liked them and then he comments "i have kinda gotten used to it"

small change easily justified and explained

This doesn't make sense

They want to stick to the books, but completely change a character

...

Wot

haha no man , i think i confused you, the game largely sticks to the lore of the books and add to it in a way where it would be fittin and lore friendly.

Netflix/The producers of the SERIES said they are gonna follow the books strictly

so i was using their statement against them, being so strict to the lore that geralt will be clean shaven, but then 5min after that saying they are gonna make a MAJOR character black/not part of the lore
