Wow talk about a lot of homophobes and close minded people, the OP only mentioned that he was dissapointed that there was no homosexuality in the witcher 2, and everyone flying off the handle saying they wouldn't buy the game if geralt was gay, and the fact that geralt is straight in the novels, its not like even if they did have the ability for geralt to sleep with a guy in the game that it would automatically make him gay, it would just give an npc a dialogue option to enable it to happen, its not like that makes geralt gay, straight guys could juts turn down the request, its a rpg you can choose not to be gay if there were an option, and as far as him being straight in the books, well people change, and also geralt has amnesia being a rpg it should be up to the person playing, its not like it would effect the game 1 bit if it were included, for straight people you could still play the game the same way and for gay people they could just answer yes to an npc's dialogue instead of no.

I can understand why its not in the game, it would take a lot of work to implement and it does go against the womanizing aspect they are going for, but that being said, there would be nothing wrong with it being in the game and it wouldn't change gameplay, its not like just because theres an option to be gay in a game that you have too.

Calling posters that do not agree with OP homophobic is extremely offensive and plain rude, not to mention, stupid and immature. Grow balls and understand that people have different opinions and they can express them freely without being bond by political correctness.

Fishboy11, you seem to fail to understand a very fundamental feature of the game: it is based on the novels and the main character was already established as straight. "People change", really? That is all you got? You mean that 100% of heterosexual population can abruptly change into homosexual? You gotta be kidding or you are just very young and naive.

In Witcher 1&2 you are playing as Geralt of Rivia, not some created by a player character that can be anyone and anything. Geralt does not kill innocent people, so you cannot. Geralt does not fly like Superman, so you cannot. Geralt does not sleep with men, so you cannot.

if you are looking for fanservicing and pandering to even the silliest request, then you were clearly mistaken.

Stevezen: No offence but I don't want that kind of thing in a game as for sex in the game, I can take it or leave it. its there but not spoiling the game whereas it would be if it did that sort of thing.

also no doubt children play games like this so its better left out.

BakedGoods: Using your logic they'd have to take out all the sex in the game. Is that what you're asking for?
Nope, 'normal' sex is fine, I have no complaints.
I agree with the OP..

I'm just about to write General Mills, because there are no rat turds in my Cheerios....
Why so many Canadians "ok" with homosexuality "here"? I believe here are a lot of Bioware people posting and defending their homocrap games.

I have nothing against gay people if they don't bother me, if one make a pass at me in a club i'll tell him im straight if he continue i won't be as polite as the first time.If one rubs on me before even talking to me i won't be polite at all.If one just talk to me i'll talk to him politely and wont be rude to him.

I'm against putting gays in every damned TV series that we get here to get a little more audience.

I'm against retconning a character and turning him gay see Anders in DA2 which he was not gay in Awakening and yes he's gay because when you talk to him he speaks of Karl who he was spooning with some times ago.

I'm against making characters that tries to rape me (hyperbole a bit) before i tell them i share their sexual ways.

I'm from Canada and i'm not ok with turning The Witcher serie into a gay haven neither any series and i don't think the Mr. Sapkowski would be ok with turning his story into a let's see gays everywhere and be ok with it

sarcasm.. is a good friend of mine. That drivel you posted is not sarcasm.

fishboy11: its not like even if they did have the ability for geralt to sleep with a guy in the game that it would automatically make him gay,
huh? Do you mean they'd have to give Geralt a well-coordinated wardrobe and an affinity for the theatre before he's declared "gay"?

I thought THAT was the (modern) definition of gay: men sleeping with other men.... guess one learns something new every day :)

Kalfear: You know (and I said this in other post but will say again), the time era fantasy in general is based on (and tends to use their different customs and religions and cultures and social attitudes in most cases, Bioware excluded) doesnt recognize or approve of homosexuality!
Sorry to jump into this topic so late, but this isn't entirely correct. I mean, yes, it wasn't approved of, but the same is true of murder, theft, adultery, etc. Yet those get plenty of attention in the game. The Witcher is not a game that sticks to what people approve of. Quite to the contrary.

And don't pretend it didn't exist. The English King Edward II was quite famously homosexual. And his problem wasn't so much his homosexuality itself, but the fact that he was a weak king. If he'd been as strong a king as his father or his son, nobody would have minded that his "favourite" hung around him so much. Well, except for his wife, but she wouldn't have been able to do much about it.

Do you think the Celibate means that priests had no children? Of course not! Plenty of priests did have children. They just weren't officially recognized as such.
Say there was a time machine (I know I know, bare with me here) and you dialed back to the chivalric age, to the knights and squires and all that era. And you even spoke like say Richard Simmons or any number of obvious gay males with the sterotype girlish voice. You would be killed.
I don't know Richard Simmons, but killing someone for how he talks, well, I'm sure it's happened (though usually because someone was clearly not from around here, rather than that they could tell his sexuality from his voice), but it was certainly not commonplace.
The ONLY gays on record with any type of security/safety were POWERFUL MEN who could have you killed with a snap of their finger. ALA Dethmold.
How do you know? History only records the powerful men in the first place. Who knows how many commoners may have had gay relationships? They may have been as illegal as extramarital affairs, but those happened too.
Heck, historica fact, Alexander was gay. Leader of armies that did actually partake in homosexual affairs while campaigning. Soon as they were home though, they were expected to plow their wives and women and anyone caught engaging in homosexual content when NOT CAMPAIGNING was put to death immediately!

Alexander himself, the Freaking KING basically had to hide his homosexuality according to history as the men would not follow him if they knew he was gay when not at war with the army!
I don't know much about the Macedonians, but in ancient Greece, gay sex was common and accepted. In fact, sometimes it was seen as a higher form of sex than sex with women, because women were considered second class citizens.

It wasn't unheard of among the ancient Kelts either.

Other than that, I think it's entirely up to the developer to decide whether to include homosexuality or any other kind of sexual themes in their game, and nobody has any business complaining about it, unless the developer does it to push some hateful agenda.
