Are they witcher potions though? Or are they the kind the sorcerers use?

I think they’re Witcher potions. Based on her eyes, I’d guess she underwent the mutations.

I agree the “women cannot be witchers” thing always seemed sexist, but making her a witcher is a nerf more than anything. She didn’t teleport once in the teaser. A weird but welcome flip from ‘the female character didn’t earn it’ to ‘they took away everything she earned’ that we’re seeing in the social media reactions.

IDK, but it’ll be interesting to see how the story goes. Looking forward to it, for sure.

Somebody pointed out to me that the witcher medallion that Ciri is wearing is feline, so possibly from the School of the Cat, which according to the wiki was known to train women as witchers. I wonder if they had a different trial than that of the grasses. She might be a full fledged mutant, like Geralt.

Yeah, my sticking point isn’t the female witchers. It’s how much less powerful she is now. She was damn near a god last game.

I remember crashing my ps4 my piling up a ridiculous number of corpses during her escape scene. Just such a badass. Hurt my heart to watch her struggle in the fight in this teaser.
