A decent example of a bad d-pad would be the Switch Pro Controller. Unless they’ve fixed it in a later revision, the controller has an issue with outputting diagonals when they aren’t intended.

Ciri being a witcher is already going outside of existing lore, and it seems very unnecessary; she’s powerful enough in her own right, and shouldn’t need to be swapped 1:1 for Geralt.

Let me assure you, if you’re not actually an EU citizen, signing would be a decidedly bad idea. All that would accomplish is pumped numbers that will be disregarded in the end, so it can only serve to hurt the campaign.
