I’d weighed my words and acted according to my own instincts as much as the game would allow. It was embarrassing to admit the pride I’d felt in what I thought were excellent interactions with Ciri. I was shocked that these seemingly small moments mattered so much, but I was even more shocked that I had been so confident I’d been doing the right thing. There was a lot of incredulity about my skipping the snowball fight to go drinking, which I promptly watched on the internet while holding my head in my hands like Geralt in the Crone’s hut. My colleagues helped me piece together what I’d done. Who was this Geralt (with different hair, I might add!) pushing a drink at her while she sat with her chin in her hand? Which dad dragged her to brothels, so ignorant of her displeasure, when I had a whole catalogue of moments we’d hugged and laughed? I didn’t recognise the moments she remembered. As her flashbacks played out, I honestly thought they must have been from The Witcher 2. I was on the edge of my seat as Ciri went through the portal, like I was sending my daughter off to college. I took her to Skjall’s grave because obviously.ĭid you know those are pretty much all the wrong choices? Because I didn’t. I told her to calm down when she wanted to trash Avallac’h’s lab because I thought she’d later regret lashing out at a friend.
I accompanied her to the meeting with the sorceresses because she seemed intimidated, and I wanted her to know I was there for the mundane dad stuff as well as the big fights.
I didn’t take her to see the emperor because as far as I’m concerned he’s not her dad. I went with her to fight Imlerith because we were in this Wild Hunt thing together. I thought it was a valuable moment of growth for her, one both I and Geralt could stand to learn. I told Ciri she didn’t have to be good at everything when she was upset after the battle at Kaer Morhen. Honestly, I thought I was a pretty great dad. Now that we've wiped away the tears and closed the book on Geralt's adventures, it's time to talk about the end. The Witcher 3 has had a bunch of us under its spell for months now, but we're at a point where several of us on staff have now finished the game.
