Better and worse than I thought
I'm trying not to go in depth, but in brief I avoided this series until now, due to the reputation for titillation and being excessively 'grimdark'. I actually found Witcher 2 to be a much bigger offender than this game. This game was juvenile enough that I played through the whole thing and enjoyed most of my time in the world. But in brief, my problem with this game is not the 'power fantasy' part of it, where you are enjoying a young boy's fantasy of every female character in the game wanting to get into your pants. Or the sex cards. My problem is the other side of it - OK, you're playing through a power fantasy, all the women want you and are dressed in revealing clothing, fine! But why does it all seem so miserable? Why are women constantly getting called or calling each other b****es and s**ts and w***es? Why is almost every woman in a position of 'power' disrespected and called sexual slurs? Is that a key part of the fantasy? Is it hard to imagine women choosing to sleep with you if they also feel valued and respected for things beyond their sexuality? Or is this all for the sake of realism? And does it make sense to argue that it was 'for the sake of realism' when we are also fighting magical monsters and shooting fire from our hands?
Hilft dir das weiter?
