In The Witcher 4, I want to swap my swords for a lute.

but has yet to be officially named, is already in pre-production. It's still a bit of a mystery at the moment, and while we can probably expect more monster-slaying antics, I'm holding out hope for something a bit different. I want a bard RPG.

For me, the biggest appeal is the opportunity to play an RPG where I'm not some super-powered heroic archetype, but rather the person following them around and just trying to survive while stringing my lute. I want to use stealth, cunning and a brilliant repertoire of popular tunes rather than raw strength. Really, I want to play the kind of character who you'd expect to be an NPC—which is always my main impetus for agreeing to DM a campaign. .

Dandelion is a frequent companion of Geralt's, following him on his monster-hunting trips and looking for inspiration for his next ditty. In the game trilogy, he mostly just hangs out in bars, but in the books and Netflix adaptation, the latter of which uses his Polish name, Jaskier, we see him get a lot more involved.

Not being in the fray would also give Dandelion a clearer picture of the fight, which could translate to a kind of commander role where he directs his companions' aggression towards the biggest threats, or a more roguish role where he sneaks around the periphery of the battlefield setting up traps. He could even serve as a healer. There are lots of ways for a bard to be useful.

Takes that should of stayed in the drafts

It's already been done in Witcher 2 DLC, come on!

No

No

😂😂😂

Maybe not in The Witcher 4 but a spin-off game featuring Dandelion will be interesting.

The bards tale. But with the Dandelion of the books it would become x-rated.

Wth is wrong with you

if your going 4 100 percent in Witcher 3 this is the most hated character in Witcher 3 if you miss one dialog with him and answer the wrong question u will miss the platinum trophy

No

If he was

Then I suggest you go and play skyrim.. Because witcher is for grown ups.

Fuk no

Fuck no!

Thats a misconception of The Witcher, of the nature of the bard (tell, don't participate), of what that game could be.

low effort troll post

Hell to the no thanks

No?

gamer journalist take lulz

eat less soy

No.

Shit take, and you made so much headroom with the assassin's creed article

Um... no. Who the **** does this feed?!

PC Gamer is cosplaying as Kotaku with the recent posts

We should be able to create our own witcher this time.

No

reason no. 3762 why video game journo's actually smoke butt crack.

to the author of this article NO the game is called the witcher for a reason and also don't refer to a witcher school as a fetish for lynxes when its not a fetish you wanna play a game as a bard theres enough out there go play them

Yes because let’s not play as a genetically enhanced monster hunter in a game all about genetically enhanced monster hunters, and play as a bard

And what genere it supposed to be, he was pacifist after all right? But if we go something like old Dragons Age rpg with Classes then yes... And learn finally that there is NO Witcher 4! as you may thing they just show us one pick that they made something in this lore..

eh, how about no

I prefer playing a Witcher game over a lute simulator, thanks.

i call this baitclick cause it has the reverse effect

Wtf. Who wrote this? Fire em immediately

Red Dead Redemption 2 - Part 1 (Intro) Gameplay Walkthrough is just uploaded, I hope u guys will enjoy it and if u do don't forget to share and also hope that u guys will support me till the end. Also thank you for supporting me 'till now. Here's the link,

why play game at that point,there are plenty of play instrument games I hope.

Is this game moddable? Probably not. If not... that's dissapointing.

Too bad it's not gonna be called Witcher 4

No

I clicked the article hoping it would be better. It was not

Please...no

Fucking no.

Massive L

Would be a spin off at best

Please re-evaluate your article writers..my expectation wasn't high but holy shit

hell yeah

who doesn't hate Dandelion?

No, no you don’t. Stop

I would want a Witcher game set in the analogous 19th century, with society being aware of magical creatures and the like and you playing a customizable Witcher of your own, maybe even spanning into the first world war. Consequences of dragon conservation, etc.

It’s not too late to delete this

That's a terrible idea

So... Play a game called the witcher... And not play as a witcher. Makes sense

Yeah get the fuck out

No. Fuck no even.

That game should never exist based on that ... Pls dont play with players feelings like that .. hope common sense prevail

Yes, pls

🤡🤡🤡

No......just no.

I don't think I could stand the 'Witcher goes woke' outrage that would come with that.

There’s still time to take this down

wtf?!

No it should not

Only if the gameplay is like F1 Manager

This should get ratio

No. Keep him as the narrator.

Worst take ever
