It seems that every single girl in the world wanted to get in Geralt's pants in that game. 

But it's totally unrealistic that everyone would want to get into your pants, it's pandering, or is it only work with sexuality?

It's not accurate.  2 of these girls are ex girlfriends and one has been lusting after Geralt for a long time. This is canon from the preceding book series.  there are 2 randoms and these and the first 3 romances can all be bypassed. that leaves brothels which are optional, and occasion  catcalls by women of men.  Gerelt is also very respectful of a girls wishes if she says no as well.

 

Seems no worse that typical Bioware fodder. 

 

In a world that is not puritanical and medieval,  why wouldn't a girl not want to have risk free sex with a sterile witcher who cannot contract VD, and according to alot of women who have played TW3 is hot.

Can you fault the poor women? Geralt's one of a select few handsome men living across the entire continent, and the Skellige Isles.

Aren't we talking about The Witcher one? Where Geralt can bang a multitude of women (starting with Triss which is uderstandable going over random peasant girls to the princess and a mystical lady of the lake, which seriously starts to undermine credibility at some point) despite the fact that he looks like a drunken hobo with greasy grey hair and a trainwreck of a face, which only started to look good in the other two installments?

Witcher series in general, there are many random encounters even outside of Triss and Yen. I could honestly care less about how many women a protagonist could sleep with. I just get annoyed that when male characters are also interested in the protagonist, it suddenly becomes pandering and everyone is into the protagonist. 

[Lady Artifice]

Geralt actually is the only good looking male character I've seen in the game so far.

Well if we're talking about the Witcher here, you have to remember that witchers have an immunity to STDs, which according to the lore made them very desirable among women.

Personally I like the romances, they're a fun bit of side content, so I usually try them out. But that's all they are to me, they're not why I play Bioware games. If Bioware got rid of them and replaced that stuff with some more platonic friend dialogue, I wouldn't mind.

Well its in Geralts favor that the average guy in the witcher universe seems to be on the same level of beauty as the following:

Doesn't he have just the dreamiest eyes?

Trainwreck of a face? It's a game from 2007 running on a heavily modified aurora engine. And this forum is squeeing over Nosferatu and the creature from the black lagoon among others, so looks can apparently be a rather unimportant factor anyway.

Oh yeah,  this only applies to TW3. oops.

Yes, as you pointed out yourself the game is from 2007 and therfore makes Geralts face look like a trainwreck. Thanks for agreeing on that point. As for looks being an unimportant factor. I fully agree, but given the very limited ineraction most of Geralts possible partners in the witcher one have with him I find it hard to believe that they want to sleep with him for his personality.

Oh, misinterpreted your post then.

[rapscallioness]

This is how you know it's getting closer to launch. You start seeing more Romance/Anti-romance threads.

 

Squeee.

 

[Gamesaredead]

Why I can understand people not wanting romance anymore. Look at KOTOR. Kotor had limited romance. The funny thing? Male Revan and Bastila and Female Revan Carth were better than anything in Mass Effect because they were so plot central.  With Carth romance might have been the only way he wouldn't have been like F this I am out. With Bastila you have Jolee Bindo pretty much giving you the ok and you end up turning her from the dark side. The more romances you have, the less plot central you can make them.

 

No I am not saying whatever character you romanced was stupid in Mass Effect (for you fem sheps Garrus might be one of the coolest darn characters ever made and I thought Tali was the ideal "paragon" so I usually chose her on playthroughs), but I am saying it was not exactly important in the grand scheme of the story. None of the characters you romanced turn out any different, nor do you have a reason to believe they would turn out different. Garrus and Tali will actaully hook up if you do not romance them (I thought this was really cool). 

 

If Witcher 3 had to include tons of diverse romances, pander to everyone and everything? It would have been a game that was a lot worse. CDPR was allowed to invest that money and time in sidequests instead of stupid romance stuff. 

 

Yennifer? Very plot relevant and pretty much a spouse/mother with Ciri as the kid. Yup you can choose Triss and she is awesome blah blah, but Yen was more like Bastila or Carth. VERY plot relevant and what Ciri really needed was a "immediate family" that encouraged her, believed in her and helped her to grow as a person.

 

Did Bioware make their own hell with this? Yup. Right around Mass Effect 2. They did an amazing job on that game and the fact it was as good as it was with having to include so much more stuff? Is a testament to the team who worked on it. 

 

In ME3? look at things that had to be cut. Illusive man was supposed to be a boss fight. A lot of the people Bioware is trying to pander to? Are the ones making their games less, and their job impossible imo. Oh and you will never please them anyways, so trying is pointless. You are better off making those people who ONLY seem to focus on romance a new IP IF you think you can even sell them enough copies to justify it. A dating game with "farmville elements" which I have actually seen people ask for on twitter would be very cheap to make, good give those people what they want and probably be pretty darn profitable. 

[Squinterific]

And it matters to you what other people play a game for because....?

I thought it was cuz they were sterile. Probably both.
 

[mopotter]

FTFU.

I only cut down enemies, allies and random fuks don't worry.

It's a FUKING game. We don't have to be saints if we don't want to. Leave that stuff 4 real life. I'll find you a bed in a Tuchanka hospital for you sissy humans who prefer to cut yourselves instead of your enemies.

This is good.

 

But, sadly I've found that if I am a dirtbag playing a game for too long it caries over to my real life.  Sort of like having a friend who cuts their partner down in "oh I'm just joking" fashion.  I pick things up.  Dropped the friend, play someone I like in games.  Works for my life.  When I just want to shoot things, I play any of the Diablo games.  Killing demons always good. Or any of the borderland games.

There are plenty of reasons women wouldn't want to have sex with a dude even if he's free of disease. Try that line IRL and see how far it goes for you. Geralt's superpower is a really effective condom - that's really not a selling point.

why

[maia0407]

From what I gather, the Witcher creators just wrote lame in-universe justifications for why their character is a fantasy wish fulfillment **** magnet. Lame justifications don't make the idea that most women want to get with Geralt any less lame.

To be fair, that was only really a problem in the first game. In the later two installments only women who actually know Geralt and are his friends/lovers or a few who he helps out a great deal want to bang him.

Maybe the size of his condom is what bring all the girls to the yard, and damn right, it's better than yours.

[Giantdeathrobot]

Only reason Geralt and Dandelion get so much booty is because they're basically the only two humans on the Continent who look like something a woman might actually want to bang. Meanwhile nearly all the important women look like gorgeous supermodels. But that's not pandering, no sir, that's ''knowing your audience''. Totally different.

 

Anyway, who listens to what Dutch has to say anymore, really? I lost count of the number of times he said he would leave, then comes back a month later and makes a clickbait post. This said in full realization I'm posting in said thread.
