Yeah no I'm not asking for that I'm asking for some control over how he acts. If there is none then I might as well watch a movie since the gameplay is crap.

1.)There are more such as Cynthia or the Succubus...
2.)The difference between the brothels and/or sex scenes in DA vs The Witcher is that in The Witcher only women are portrayed sexually, even if there are two partners.There's only one sex scene where Geralt is lacking pants and they put the camera in an angle so that the naked area is never shown.What?Will the sight of male ass disguist and repulse manly straight men?Why is the game only pleasing their desires while actively ignoring Geralt's crotch/ass area and constantly showing naked women.
"Omg CDPR is pandering to straight male gamers.Omg The Witcher is pleasing the straight Agenda.Omg The Witcher is catering to straighties"
Why is nobody saying these things while everyone is accusing Bioware of pandering to homosexuals when Bioware is treating everyone equally.No, even Bioware has had more straight than gay option in every Dragon Age game so far.The Witcher is exclusively crafting their sex scenes for a certain demographic and nobody is complaining about it, why?I'd say it's because of the privilege straight male gamers are experiencing because every other game has romance options catered only to them, them, them and them.It's all about them.
Geralt's not homosexual so that's one reason why it's not showing him having sex with dudes.
You do get more control over Quizzy than you do Geralt. Hawke and Shepard are much better comparisons. The only real difference between Hawke and Geralt is you can customize Hawke's appearance. Otherwise I found them pretty much the same. They both had set priorities no matter what (Hawke cared about his family, Geralt about Triss). By ME3 Shepard was also becoming more of a set character like Geralt (crying over Thessia, dreaming about that retarded kid, completely focused on Earth).In DA:I, it pretty much is. You get to customize things like appearence and sex, but the character isn't all that more variable than Geralt is in The Witcher.
Seriously people can you stop the RPG aurgment now... This is a computer game, Comptuer games are notriously bad at doing anything RPGish. As for me the only TRUE RPG is Table top RPG games. Because there you are pretty much free to act how you want the character to act.
Because if you charcter diciesd to try to kill everyone else, your character can also win in doing it, or the DM can just "Word of God" doesn't happen and you have to re-roll a new character.
Did I write that? Or are you putting words in my post that I didn't type?
I'm more or less just making fun of the idea that an emotion wheel actually adds any emotion to characters. I mean you basically get four choices. You can be nice, funny, have no emotion, or be a dick.
oops double post
You are completely missing the point. Very well done, cause I suppose that takes some special skills to do.
Its called putting words in mouth and ignoring certain parts of an argument I believe.

Yes and those are three more choices than what I get in the witcher. The system is not perfect but atleast they tried.

You don't even have to care about Triss by the end of TW2. You can allow the game's antagonist to save her, almost an insult, and you get to chew her out in the Nilfgaardian camp. Shepard, Hawke and Geralt are all semi-fixed characters.
What are you asking for specifically? You do get choices to determine some of Geralt's priorities: helping Iorweth or Roche, helping either one or saving Triss, sparing or killing Henselt, sparing or killing the dragon. It's not like you make zero choices.Yeah no I'm not asking for that I'm asking for some control over how he acts. If there is none then I might as well watch a movie since the gameplay is crap.

No, you pretty much get the exact same amount of choices in the Witcher. You can be nice, funny, have no emotion, or be a dick throughout the game. There's no difference other than in DAI there's some pictures to help you find which is which.
And Sex under the shower with clothes looks even more stupid.

I played the games and he delivers those emotions very poorly imo. I don't think its a bad game but I don't like the protag and that makes me not like the games as much as I like Dragon age.

No, in the witcher you can't influence Geralt's personality.He will always have the same non-chalant additude, whether you like it or not.It is Geralt, he already exists in the books and every player experienced the same Geralt in TW games.
However, you can choose what path Geralt chooses and which direction will he go in dialouge.
In Dragon Age you may play all sorts of character types, you have special options for race/class/choices you make, you can be agressive, sympathehic, ruthless, merciful...
Its not out yet, so I can't say, but I probably will enjoy it more.

What are you talking about? You're literally able to make Geralt either aggressive, sympathetic, ruthless, and or merciful, ect throughout the second game. I guess in DA you can headcanon more but that doesn't make the game any better.
Spoilers Obviously
I think this covers it.

people think gerald do not have emotion is plain blind.
he is a monster hunter, hes emotions serves him no good, but he really do not like killing humans also very clear stated in TW1 but in *TW2* but get forced on ether path of going to help humans or help the others. from their thing's go's from bad to worse and get dragged into political crap and of course being accused for king slayer not helping ether.
but this is what he is, a monster slayer a witcher trying to be neutral just trying to slay monsters and life from day to day.
also Geralds relationship with triss is very complicated he care and not care about triss bit of a hate love relationship
In DA:I i get forced on the path of religion, even if i sayed like 1000 times i not send by the maker. and still have this crap forced up on me.
Ah, Witcher romance scene threads.
It's good to see you again old friend.
Tbh, after Bioware nudity I thought these threads would stop. I guess boobs only silences a couple of people. I like the way they did DAI's romance scenes.

Can we really seriously stop this whole X is better than Y talk? Again, its like saying you think Apples are better than Oranges, at the end of the day no one cares.
You do not have to like The Witcher1,3,23,4328423642351, And I don't have to like DA: A, E, I, O, U. People are allowed to dislike or like something, even if it is down to the graphic style. People are allowed to not like something.
So can we stop with this pointless arugment? X has this while Y as this, thus X is suppeir. I'm tell you no.. its not. Its called being Different. You are allowed to be different. Being different doesn't make you inferior or superior.

First you say that he has emotions then you say that he is less emotional because of his status as a witcher. Well lets just say he is emotionally stunted and leave it at that.
I disagreed with the herald thing too but I took is at this way: people will worship my char no matter what I do and I can't controll other people but I can control what my char said and did so two of my characters have said that they aren't the herald at every turn and one of the other didn't know what to think.
Geralt and Triss have very sweet love making scenes. I love that he wakes up in bed with Triss.
The other stuff in 1 and 2 we could do without.
My favorite sex scene was with Alastair because he was so innocent and awkward. I love Alastair. ![]()
If all three games were him and my GW together I'd be happy.
