Yup, I agree with you. And one of the common planks of the critiques of the Witcher games is that Geralt, while presented as attractive, isn't sexualized in the way that his prospective partners are. He's never shown below the waist, whereas the female characters are, and it's an interesting and obvious line to draw. Like, he's attractive so that the player will feel attractive; the women are attractive so that the player will desire them. And that's a common theme.

There are a lot of things about the Witcher games to recommend them, though. There's a fully realized world, and it's a gorgeous one, and there's lots of questing outside the main storyline, and there are some pretty challenging encounters. Also, even though the female characters are sexualized, they're competent and have their shit together. Outside of the sex scenes, they're decent.

That's the problem I have with games in general. Like, hi game makers! I play games too! Please market to me! I would like to be the attractive lady saving the world and being rewarded with men.

I really love open worlds and side quests. It's definitely on my list.

Hey, I'd love to be the attractive lady being rewarded with women, lol. Just multidimensional women who don't act like they're in a porn! :-p

I should warn it's not an open world in the way that Skyrim's is. It's a bit more limited, and you eventually reach a point where you have to continue the story, but you still have decent leeway.

I also admittedly haven't played the first game, because I heard it wasn't as good. Love the other two though.

Yessss. All the multi-dimensional women with actual characterization.

Sounds right up my alley! I've got a few things on my list to check out so we will have to see.
