Because attractiveness obviously is more important than experience.

Well, I suppose if cards are any indication, Geralt has a fair bit.

I don't... think that I mind this game's marketing too much. If the women involved are being sexualized only in situations that are already sexual, I'm fine with it. I certainly won't play the game because heterosexuality doesn't interest me in the PC of an RPG, but I won't mind it. The only thing that bugs me is when women are sexualized in nonsexual situations.

Shockingly enough, as a woman, I don't enjoy sexist complaints.

[Sylentmana]

At least the screenshot has nice...detail?

[KonguZya]

Oh no! A hot female character! With ******! Likely orgasming! In a videogame! Can't have that! It's obviously sexist!

In Geralts case, absolutely, lol. 

[PrinceLionheart]

It's mostly amusement from the entitlement.

 

People who aren't respresented in fair/respectful way in videogames will notice much more acutely when things are done well. DA:I is a unicorn in this sense (where videogames are concerned).

 

The other side of this are dudes just complaining about unshaggable companions/ugly companions/not 'feminine', etc/           The End. 

 

That is true.

Geralt may be a bit dull as a protagonist, but atleast he broke the "handsome protagonist" trope. Though I'd still call him quite attractive.

Oh please, he's a Mary Sue power fantasy. 

 

Also female characters are always subject to criticisms on their physical appearances so I find it hilarious to point out the obvious and call him ugly as hell.

Because he's unattracive yet still gets laid?

What about the people who don't like the strait-male romance options because they don't like the available LI's -personalities- for their RP'd character?

 

Josephine is a canny diplomat, but she's too disney-princess-y for me. (Sorry, the complaining about her family being reduced to poverty thing and her multi-hour rant on the various faults of my companions risking their ***** on the front lines when I tried to be supportive of her efforts were a real turn-off). Then there's Cass, who is tough and competent and would totally work for me... except I'm a mage-liberating, spirit-embracing, Inquisitor for whom Andraste is a turnoff. Not really down with organized religion personally and that tends to carry through to the characters I play. 

 

That said, I'm actually not all that bummed out. The non-strait-male-romances look so interesting I'm pretty excited for a Female Elf/Qunari playthrough once I finish my forever-alone strait male human mage.

Hey guess what? I'm bisexual and I played as a female elf, I had the most available options to me as far as romances go and I still didn't really like any of them.

 

So as Cassandra would say, Deal. With. It.

All of the CD Projekt trailers do this. I think whenever a woman characters appears in their trailer, the camera will inevitably pan from one end to the other. Though really, they're not exceptional in anyway in the videogame industry for this.

 

One end to the other?

 

Back to front?

Left to right?

Inside to outside?

I don't get the point of this thread aside from being condescending. 

[ButchHardPec]

How about you shove your social justice warrior crap where the sun don't shine?

 

Stop taking your real life frustrations into games. The writer's creativity should not suffer because it upsets you.

You can always trust that even when men have nothing to say, they'll be giving your their opinions. No idea how you're even holding the word 'condescending' here.

You should have made a thread about it, tbh. I know I asked for one earlier.

A thread about what? How I didn't like the romances?

[CreepingShadow]

I wouldn't really call the Witcher the best example of sexism in video games, yeah sure there are a lot of sexual situations, but the major female characters are actually very well done, much more than sex objects. Phillipa Eilhart is one of the best written female villains I've ever seen in a video game rotten to the core but extremely complex. And is people's disapointment that their options aren't conventionally attractive sexist? If all of the het female options looked like Solas you wouldn't be dissapointed?

Am I the only one who doesn't understand anything the OP says?

They clearly have something to say, you made a thread about it and they're giving your their opinion that hey sex exists. There exists overtly sexual characters in the Witcher book and the video game and in real life. It isn't sexist that characters are explicitly sexual nor that sex sells, also I assume you are familiar with the game Triss is a fully fleshed out character with a backstory, her potential romance with Geralt is one facet of her character. What do you want? Everyone to wear overcoats, flare jeans and avoid the subject of sex entirely?

 

Why does everything have to push the social progressive boundary? Why is it the two games are even comparable? I'm sure if you don't want to see these scenes can can choose not to see them as is it is an RPG and people complain that they want to play the character their way i.e. be and ***hole and womanize or avoid that part all together. I thought DA: I was a fantastic socially progressive game, however; if the creator/writer has crafted a world where this doesn't fit into his or her ethos and world building then they should feel no obligation to do so.

 

And please don't respond as has been to case to many so far with 'is a man, his opinion is formed with a stone age brain, won't listen, didn't ask'
