Listen, I love Geralt of Rivia.
So yeah, Im Geralts number one fan.
And as Geralts number one fan, Im really happy with how his story played out.
Blood and Wines denouement is touching, compelling, and handled with real finesse.
The Witcher 3 is my favourite game ever made and I wouldnt change a single thing about it.
But The Witcher is about more than a witcher.
Ultimately, its about the complexities of human beings, and how they connect with one another.
Yes, Yen is the one who instigates the search for Ciri in the first place.
Yes, Yen gets to see Ciri at Kaer Morhen.
I know that there are some issues with this.
CDPR would have to make one ending canon, which might upset some very loud people.
That being said, Ciri becomes a witcher is already canonically the optimal ending.
So lets roll with that: Ciri is a witcher now.
What I am saying is that Yen should absolutely be the main focus of a Ciri game.
Shes fierce as she is fervent, flitting between necessary coldness and earned warmth at blistering speed.
Thats not The Witcher 3s fault, given that it was a game that predominantly focused on somebody else.
