Only 3 things that are core to living creatures, including humans.

Sex, Sustenance, Survival. Each are backward and forward linking. To remove one gets a bad story that usually makes no sense what so ever.

Also the best argument for sex and more of it is simple. 6 billion people don't magically appear. We all f**ked each other into existence lol

Get use to it =P

Okay, originally this was going to be a throwaway comment but there's a lot of things going on that need to be addressed.

First, consensual sex in a video game does not and will NEVER promote rape culture. If it's anything like the rest of the series, the sex presented is consensual, healthy, and enjoyable. Honestly, if all sex in media was like Witcher sex it'd be an awesome world. Putting healthy, consensual sex out there is probably the best way to FIGHT rape culture.

Secondly, rape culture does exist. Frat parties, cruising vans, grooming... I'm sure I could go on but I don't really want to. At its core, rape culture describes subsets of society that promote the culture that "It's okay, dressing like that means she wanted it", and associated attitudes, and many of those attitudes DO come through into mainstream society.

Thirdly, people have tried to argue that rape studies are inaccurate because "The women went back and had sex with them" or "The women refused to identify as rape victims". Rape is sex that someone did not want to have. Simple. If you are pressured into something, you did not want to have it. Now, admittedly there's a bit of a grey area created by the way that we've created a culture where no female is allowed to WANT to have sex, but if you have to be PRESSURED into it, you didn't want it. On the first point, rape is a power crime, not a sex crime. Power relationships are weird. Why do abused women stick with their partners? (Or abused men, of which I may know a couple as well). Because of ties of power and webs of psychological ties. It's not that simple. At all.

It's easy to say rape jokes aren't funny. Most of them aren't. But you could say the same about murder jokes. And amputee jokes (What do you do if you're attacked by a pirate with no arms? Nothing, 'es 'armless!). People use humour to deal with serious topics. What we need to do is look at how it rpesents it. Normalising it isn't okay. Trivialising people that experience it isn't okay. Laughing about it because the alternative is crying? Ain't got enough time to cry about everything in this world. Not and stay sane.

So remember, consensual sex IS NOT RAPE. Like jeez, how the crap do you even make that leap.

16 hours of sex scenes?!?!? Did CDProjekt hired Tommy Wiseau to work on this game's script?

But you miss the point. They are inaccurate because they don't measure rape, they measure other factors as well and ball them all up together. If a husband asks for sex, the wife says "No" and he says "Oh c'mon, just a quickie". The wife has felt pressured to have sex. Is that sexual assault? Did someone attempt to rub their shoulders. That is considered sexual assault, yet it is a mild form. Those numbers include all the shades of gray and are likely very bottom heavy (i.e. most of the offenses are relatively minor). In essence, they are greatly exaggerated for effect. And then the feminist groups misconstrue them further by misquoting. They use the highest number they can find in any study (1 in 4 women) then call it raped in their lifetimes when the study was meant to consider all kinds including very minor sexual assault.

This is the problem, its not all rape, not even close...

Rape is unwanted sex. That part is simple. If you had sex with someone who did not want to have sex with you, you raped them. If someone had sex with you, when you did not want to have sex with them, they raped you. This is not a difficult concept to understand. If someone ticks a result that they have had sex against their will, then they have been raped, even if they don't choose to identify as a rape victim. That is the base definitions.

Sexual assault is not the same as rape. If I remember the definition correctly, it encompasses rape but is not exclusively rape, and if your point is that some conflate the two, then that is a valid point, and those researchers should tidy their terms up. However the proportion of those who tick boxes on an anonymous survey to indicate they have had sex against their will is far too high no matter how you look at it.

The researchers may correctly define their terms, its the people quoting the studies after the fact that are getting them wrong. And the same can be said for physical assaults against anybody. Any crime statistic is too high. But how high is it really after you lose the exaggeration?

Yes it's a worry with our censors. They might force them to change it so they wear underwear and do interpretive dance instead.

Yes I thought that too, but CD Projekt RED wouldn't fall for that cheap ploy.
Morinths voice would be hard coded in from the time you instigated sex, so you couldn't use your metagaming knowledge to prepare in advance.

You may worry that on steam, but on GOG, do they ever censor stuff?

Wear this armor and swords and stuff like that, even in bed!!!

Do not take them off for any reason hahaha......
How people beat their game is their problem.
It's just addiction that causes problems.
If the World was a better place we could have porn in The Morning News and there'd be no problems.
As things are, we see problems everywhere.
Wish we could see naked bodies as beautiful art!
Ommmmm

Yes, they did with The Witcher 2. Australians (and New Zealanders because IP geolocation lumps them in with the Australians) got a censored version of the game from here. As such, for The Witcher 3, this should be a real concern for the Australians and New Zealanders.

Na, I'm not worried.
It just means well finish it 16 hours before everyone else.
And for me finishing really quickly is a lot like having sex.
