The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt writer regrets not elaborating on part of Ciri's story

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is considered to be one of the best games of all time by many. That said, the team behind the game might not feel the same way. They do have some regrets, and Jakub Szamalek, principal writer on the game, revealed one area where he felt more time could have been spent.

In an interview with PC Gamer, Szamalek reveals that he wishes the game went into more detail on Ciri's rose tattoo. In the books, the tattoo is a reference to Mistle, Ciri's lover of sorts. There's a lot to unpack in this tidbit, but the team simply didn't have the time to do it justice.

“There wasn’t really space for unpacking this complex episode in the Wild Hunt, and it’s a shame. In this moment of life, Ciri gave in to her darker side, followed her worst instincts. Showing this transition, and the remorse which followed, would have made a great story.”
