Luckily for players, they get to play Ciri for several chapters to learn what happened during her journey.

The following list examines compares and contrasts the two play styles.

When you play as Ciri, you won’t get to have a Roach of your own.

Ciri and Geralt Play Styles

Instead, you’re left to run around on foot.

Roach is a great benefit in a game as massive asThe Witcher 3.

If you don’t like fast traveling, it still quickens your pace while exploring to ride on horseback.

Geralt and Roach

It’s nice to learn more about Ciri on your own terms rather than by hearsay.

Geralt has a minimum of two swords equipped at all times, one steel and one silver.

Ciri doesn’t have that option.

Ciri-2

When you’re playing as Ciri, the quests are much shorter and more straightforward.

For some players, that can be a welcome change of pace.

You’ll likely use them a lot while you’re playing the game.

Geralt Choices

Ciri can’t use oils and she won’t be able to drink witcher potions.

Sometimes fighting as Ciri is a little smoother and cleaner since she moves in a much more agile fashion.

There are a lot of quests and contracts that involve using your witcher senses to track down a suspect.

Ciri-3

You interact with people that you already interacted with as Geralt.
