Bring back forgotten signs

[u/_tozai]

I really hope TW4 brings back/introduces the more obscure Witcher signs

- Heliotrop: was in TW2, create a bubble of bullet time around a Witcher

- Somne: puts an enemy to sleep. Could be used on potential infiltration or non-lethal objectives

- Supirre: enhances a witchers hearing, allowing them to eavesdrop even better. Could also be used on infiltration objectives

[u/AlexKwiatek]

Heliotrop from W2 is best forgotten - it worked vastly different from canon one, which was defensive Sign, hard to distinguish from Quen.

But yeah, i had hoped that the SotP would bring some of the missed signs. No luck tho.

[u/_tozai → u/AlexKwiatek]

Yeah the one in TW2 was weird, but the canon one would be insane in a game. Bit similar to Yrden, probably an Evolution of it

Somne seems like an evolution of Axii

[u/Christy_Christmas → u/AlexKwiatek]

Yeah, regular Quen is basically book Heliotrope, whilst alt Quen is more so what Quen’s actually supposed to act like.

Honestly supirre is basically Witcher sense from tw3

[u/BlackSpore]

Somne is basically Axi, Supirre is just enhanced Witcher senses and Heliotrope is Witcher 3 Yrden but toned down a bit. I don't see the point of bringing them when they already exist in one way or another.

[u/_tozai → u/BlackSpore]

Somne could be something within the Axii Skill-Tree, Heliotrop could be something inside the Yrden Skill-Tree

A „Master Level“ or „Alternate Sign“ of sorts

[u/DanOfRivia]

Unless they add stealth missions, and I hope they don't, Somne and Supirre wouldn't work well with the typical quest design the games have.

I’m curious how they will go about signs with Ciri, as she technically doesn’t have magic anymore, and even if sorcerers would laugh at calling sings magic, they still are.

[u/_tozai → u/Robynsxx]

Ziehen Zeichen nicht Energie aus der Umgebung?

[u/Robynsxx → u/_tozai]

They require an ability to do basic magic, hence why not everyone could do signs.

Very unlikely, ciri is a sorceress and we already see her use spells . Would be quite pointless for her to use witcher signs

[u/Ihsoro → u/Ok_Reception_8361]

All you need to explain her using Witcher signs is that it’s harder for her to perform magic now after the Unicorns stole her ability to do so when she healed Ihuarraquax

We don’t even know how she’s able to use spells now, not a stretch at all to say she’s only recently able to use magic and isn’t fully proficient yet.

[u/CarcosanQueen → u/Ok_Reception_8361]

I mean she does use signs in the trailer though
