Ciri is an Elder Blood, the Chosen One, the new Witcher—that is her DNA code. The idea of subjecting her to the Trials is senseless and criminal
Sapkowski's Code 👇

On the other hand, one might suspect that attempting any mutations wouldn't have worked on Ciri anyway. Her Elder Blood gene would have prevented it.

Of course, the screenwriters can invent any nonsense, any "safe" mutations. They can assume the role of Vilgefortz, because that's what it really boils down to.
@NathWhiteGull@ToddwardHao@SvensationalGuy There's always a glimmer of hope. It might be an illusion, but I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't try to portray Ciri as she really is. As long as the game isn't out and CDPR listens to its fans, anything is possible.
@ToddwardHao@SvensationalGuy@NathWhiteGull Why don't I wait? Because then it will be too late. Mutations aren't an escape from fate. Besides, the Elder Blood gene is stronger than the Trials, in my opinion. Ciri's gene is very strong—the Water of Brokilone has no effect on Ciri.
@ToddwardHao@SvensationalGuy@NathWhiteGull You don't realize what Witcher mutations are. The idea, the very thought, of subjecting Ciri to mutation is a pure crime against this character. Besides, mutations aren't a solution, they're just forcing her into Geralt's role.
@NathWhiteGull@SvensationalGuy 2/2
Attempting to weaken Ciri primarily for gameplay reasons and turn her into a second version of Geralt is a huge mistake. She is something more – a NEW Witcher.

Everyone will have to decide for themselves whether CDPR's idea is convincing. Personally, unfortunately, I'm not convinced. Unless CDPR tells this story better than Sapkowski, which I doubt. Mutating Ciri would be a crime against the character we know from the books.
@SvensationalGuy@NathWhiteGull So, I fully agree that Ciri is a witcher. That's obvious. The problem is that CDPR still wants to mutate her in W4. Why? She doesn't need it. Ciri is the legendary Child of Destiny, who won't have to undergo any Trials of the Grass👇
