People will call it Woke
Woke me up when it releases.
Teach me the art of this fancy time travel technique
Sleep
Or cryonic suspension
Sleep is currently cheaper
Those with no common sense, spines, or anything else maybe. I'm pretty hyped!
Nobody complained when Tomb Raider came out that you played as a woman, and this was post Indiana Jones... The 'og' tomb raider.
It's because she was properly written & established & the character was fun
She also wasn't replacing an established male lead character, she was her own thing.
A large world like the Witcher should be the a good setting for switching up a lead character.
She a boring normal protagonist? "So WOKE! No point in even making it a woman!!!"
If she is some badass with special abilities? "So WOKE! Can't even be a normal woman!"
Women really can't win with conservatives. (I know you're being sarcastic)
Certainly "Woke" something in me. 😏
Having not played any in the series but having them on my to-play list, this was my first thought. No matter how great it is, there will always be people who see a protagonist who doesn't look like them and call it woke.
If it's obvious that this is just a typical "replace established male characters with yas, queen slay female character" writing then they'll be proven right
They've been building her up for the entire series. She's playable in 3.
That's why complaining about this would be such a joke
