I'd recommend taking the plunge with the third.

And if you can observe the comments, and think none of it - good on you.

TStael: Morrowind, HereForTheBeer?

Compelling and dark game world delivered, sans purported fan-service sexism, titillation and homophobia - as you would attribute to the Witcher series it seems.

Yet, you know: CD Project RED probably does not count on their moneys just upon servicing persons whom love such content - they count upon persons like me, as well.

And might write more interesting worlds for it, I think.

HereForTheBeer: It should be pointed out that CDPR created this game from a world developed by an outside source, so to do service to that source material then it would include those things you don't appreciate encountering in the game.
I enjoy this comment because none typically object to the Skellige opening scene, which is an artistic liberty compared to "source material" - or "historical accuracy" - to allow for a woman to be burned.

The writer geezer, apparently, does not rate games that much. Apparently his books sell none more because of the games. And are "loosely based material."


I am not doubting that CD Project RED paid this man moneys needed - but they could always write freely, and better. After all, Baldur's Gate owes a debt to D&D that owes a debt to Tolkien etc.

No offense, but do you also embrace Muslim refugees with open arms, knowing that in their homeland, they dangle gay people from the rooftops by their ankles and throw them off? If the gay people are lucky, that is.

I have gay friends and family, and they don't push transgender and gay "equality" on me nearly as much as what I read in this forum, which granted, it's my fault for opening threads, but it's gotten to the point where almost every thread is either about politics or gender or racism or sexism nowadays. I'm about to give this place up again, I think.

There's much better ways to spend life than to try to convince someone who can't be convinced that their opinion is wrong, is wrong.

RetroPopz: Yes, despite the miniscule portion of the world population which is gay, all future media, to include video games, must now conform in all respects to the PC whims arising in just the last couple of years. To hell with thousands of years of history, culture and science. There will be no tolerance for intolerance! What about the 99% of normal people - do they have to pay good money to be subjected to perversion whether they like it or not?

I cannot believe you just reviewed The Witcher 3 in terms of homosexuality. Does every damned thing have to be about sex with you people? It's a crazy world in which we live. That's OK, I have enough Good Old Games to last me a long time. No need to flame; I got that off my chest and I'll show myself to the door.
So I'm wondering, would your response be the same if the OP was criticizing the inclusion of a *Jewish* pedophile in The Witcher, rather than a *gay* pedophile?

Some of your gay friends and family could be posting in this forum. ;p

I can play neither the 2nd nor the 3rd Witcher game...my laptop can't run them.
Comments...in this thread? Sorry, haven't read most of them.

I thought the Elves and Dwarves were supposed to be Jews in the Witcher games.

Enebias: About the comment above... so, any "different" one can't be a villain? There are no "evil" gays in the world? Or we MUST give them a free pass on everything because ohmahgawdthatssexist/racist/whatevs?
Just cut it down! Equal rights for equally shitty people. There are lots of disgusting white eterosexual people, same goes for every other sex, gender race and whatever.
I am just so sick of this "political correctness" and general bulshittery about diversity that I'm going to vomit. You keep shoving it down our throats, always trying to let others feel guilty or monstrous in some way.
Want to know what I think? Everyone in the world wants to have the upper hand, to stay on top... and to crush all those below. homo, etero, of all colors: we are all humans, we are all bloodthirsty profiteers.

And I HATE, really hate what this forum has become thanks to people like you (edit: an impersonal "you"). Until three years ago it was a bastion of civilization in the internet jungle, now... I cannot even define it. Shit over shit over shit thrown by groups of mindless zealots and ideology drones. to hell with that!

TStael: Enebias - of course an NPC can be a baddie and a gay and be killed.

But do tell: why was it so different between the king that actually ordered the deed and the executioner of that will, Dethmold?
WHAT?! Dethmold was actually the one who planned the whole operation "invite them and hang them while they are drunk!
avatar
TStael: We were invited to find Dethmold ridiculous and abhorrent (pimple popping, affected speech, slave raping) in a way that is pretty unique to The Witcher males. We were invited to inflict a sadistic death (cutting off of genitalia, and throat slitting) that is also quite unique for The Witcher males.
Apparently you haven't read the books. Also "slave raping"?! Was that guy a slave?
avatar
TStael: That King might be killed, but he, of course, died "heroic, if resigned."
Henselt's death was hardly heroic. And also he was a royalty - that would (in middle ages) actually call for some respect.
avatar
TStael: I never asked Dethmold to be a good guy - just disliked the homophobia, and would love to know how the scene got brainstormed and approved.
Because Dethmold death was sooo much easier than death of some other background wizard on a stake.</sarcasm>

Funny that the OP gets downrated by the same crowd who uprated that ridiculous "This game is racist against white people" thread ...

Identity politics are only bad when it comes to *other* peoples' identity. o.O

That's not true. I didn't upvote thread about battletech.

Anything that aims for the masses is going to be facile to the point of meaninglessness. Anything that doesn't is destined for commercial irrelevancy.
