10 Video Game Companions So Powerful They Made YOU Feel Like The Sidekick

It's strange to think that a game literally titled The Witcher 3 could put more spotlight on anyone other than Geralt of Rivia himself.

However, when you look at the game's story, it's clear that Ciri, Geralt's protege, is the true protagonist of this title.

Thanks to her Elder Blood magic, which lets her travel across realms at will, Ciri is one of the most overpowered beings in the Witcher's universe. Throughout the game, you help her master these abilities, and although you act like her mentor and guardian at first, Ciri eventually grows so powerful that she actually puts good old Geralt to shame.

She begins making her own decisions that impact the world, and in the game's finale, she even saves the world from the devastating White Frost.

Moreover, depending on how you interact with her throughout the game, in the finale she can follow in Geralt's footsteps and pick up the profession of a monster hunter, or fulfil her father's wishes and become the new Empress of Nilfgaard.

Long story short, you better not treat her like a helpless child under your wing.
