    Have these people even played Witcher 3? Because there you play as Ciri too sometimes. Her moveset was really fucking cool actually

      Of course not. I am rather confident that at least some of these people are doing it as a false flag. Trying to discredit critics of genuine bad character and game design.

      Also this is one of the games where you play a character that has personality already, self insertion isn’t intended.

      Geralt of Rivia, Lara Croft, B.J. Blazkowicz, Faith Connors, Alan Wake, Max Caulfield, Joel Miller, Ellie Williams, and probably Doomguy those are all roles that you play.

      In contrast you have games like Skyrim, Elden Ring, Terraria, Cyberpunk 2077, Far Cry, Valheim and most classic MMORPGs, where you have a playable character that you can form to your own design.

      That’s just fundamentally a difference in design. Complaning that you can’t self insert in a game of the first category doesn’t make sense.
