It is tje case. Because there's no way people are gonna be down with playing as ciri, a non Witcher, in a witcher game. So they gotta bend the lore, and screw up tje premise. The DLC is gonna be a retcon

At the end of the day, witcher 4 isnt gonna top what witcher 3 was. The loss of the main, male, central character is gonna rub alot of people the wrong way. Geralt is what brings people tontje witcher, being a WITCHER, is what this game is about. Simple as that. And lore changes will be detrimental. I cant see this game doing well when the real developers who made the third game, left to make dawn walker.

Tldr, ciri isnt what we wanted
