There are 2 sex scenes actually, at the beginning and in the elven baths (the same place as when you fight Letho first time) but you have to take Triss with you and pick the right dialog options for this one to happen.CostinMoroianu said:
Also there's the elven at Vergen entrance and Cynthia possibly at the end too but yeah iirc there's not much nudity in those.
I agree with the rest of your post btw.
He said "that you have to go through" in the camp there is no sex, only foreplay (if that), you can turn Triss down at the baths...so he is right.
I grow tired of people asking for things like this when all they have to do is wake up and realize that, ZOMG, the problem they thought they had does not exist

I agree with answers (Wichat,...) - if you are too puritanical - read the Bible, not Witcher. Seems very funny like so many people can't stand sex and nudity, but blood and gore (games, TV, internet) is no big deal for them.
If I can give you advice, don't worry about it, I am also christian (kind of..), but Geralt and nobody from his world (maybe Eyck
) is. So he doesn't have to get married. Nudity itself shouldn't be problem for anyone and if that helps you - think about Geralt's sterillity which prevents him from creating incomplete families
But if you really need that I hold fingers for you - if that would be just some option in menu. And also I think right click solves that problem

nvm, I gave it a shot. didn't mean to turn this into a debate. It was a weak idea and Moroianu and sfinxCZ made good points (ie. censorship on religious grounds not ok, it's a video game/ Geralt's world/rules/conditions)
Ignore my post
I appreciated the responses though.
Thanks guys

I'm not so sure that it would be harmless - to add parental controls is to make a statement that you think your game will be played by children, which could lead to controversy about the rating. And if you add parental controls that kids find a way to break, you're going to get complaints. Why open yourself up unnecessarily to those risks?Saoe said:
The game is advertised and sold as 18+. It doesn't need parental controls.
Hello everyone I want to write some advice for the creators of W3: Wild Hunt.
Here are some great advice for the game, witch if you follow I guarantee the game is going to be the best RPG ever made.. I have played games all my life and I know whats trivial and what is going to be new and unique experience.
First, I always hate small cutscenes where you fall on something or some complex animation is happening and the camera is changed. NEVER change the camera and always leave little control on it and the gameplay ALWAYS!. Example: in witcher 2 where you fight the dragon and you are on top of it and holding to the sword in it's head. That was a cutscene and you didn't have control over it, thats stupid. My advice is to leave a little control over the camera so you could tilt a little bit and the screen becomes blurry on the sides because of the speed and most important when Geralt reaches for the hook make it a gameplay like this: left mouse click to stuck the hook in the dragon and smash "S" to pull it's head back and even when the dragon is about to be stabbed in the three you need to click space to jump of it otherwise you smash yourself on the three. Everything must be gameplay and you need to have little control over it. The other thing is you can always make it more brutal, for example you take your other sword and you stab the dragon in the eye or you start cutting it throat and a lot of blood starts flying by and on you cuz of the speed, maybe stab it in the face alot of times like some scenes in God of War 3. There most of the time everything is gameplay, thats why the game is great.
Second, make combos and a little bit more spectacle. Example: fight with the 2 swords at the same time or better if you have a dagger or some knife half the size of the sword and make A LOT, A LOT of finisher animations and remember DON'T change the camera, always leave control over it like in Batman arkham city. In Witcher 2 when geralt gets hit he doesn't respond, doesn't move at all just stays like nothing happened. Make interaction between more then 1 enemies again like in batman, 2 enemy finisher, 3 enemy finisher. Make more counter attacks, the perry(counter-attacks) in witcher 2 were AMAZING but they were just too little, make the counter attack available from the start of the game and a lot more often usable. Add a lot of brutality and gore and important - sword penetration like Assassin's Creed series, again NO camera change and always leave control over it. Another important thing, don't use slow motion on the finishers so the fight can go on faster and more intensively. Also make more enemies attack you at the same time. Maybe add something like an portable small crossbow in Geralt's sleeve witch shoots small arrows and make alot of animations for that too and important - the enemies have to scream and react to it. Also add fists and kicks again alot of animations - that way the combat is never going to get boring. Environment should take part too, you should be able to use a rock or a stick, what ever you find, this is wild life and as you have showed and said Geralt isn't some super hero so he should use anything he can to fight the soldiers or monsters. Also use the walls or trees to smash some heads on them. Damn if I was in your studio i was going to show you how to make the best game ever made.
Also when you fight blood spills so make his face dirty, covered in blood and mud. And another thing - when you're swinging the swords don't make any light or effects come of them, like in witcher 2 on the heave attack, that's just not realistic. Also make the limbs of monsters and soldiers detachable. There is nothing more great then the sound of a sword smashing in an armor plate on the leg and chopping it off and he starts crawling and crying in agony. Also it's going to be nice if you could grab some of the smaller npc's and hit them of the ground or just trow them in the others. Geralt is now older he is tired of his life and becomes more Angry so he should fight more furiously and savagely. Release this game if you want in 2016 but make it the best game possible.
Also make a mission like this. I have seen the trailer where soldiers invade some village. Meanwhile Geralt is in some old bar and drinks beer and he hears women screaming. He gets out and sees soldiers raping, killing, stealing, everything has to be brutal if you want the player to feel something - anger, sadness. Example 2 soldiers put a woman's arms on a wood and chop of her hands. Geralt runs and with one swing he chops off the head of the soldier and makes a 360 spin and chops of the head of the other - that could be a small cutscene for the start of the game but leave a little control of the camera or make it a full cutscene cuz the chapter is just starting or the mission. Also the soldiers that die have to scream alot if you want the player to feel like he's really holding the sword. Another example if one of the soldiers you fight has a spear you take it and stab 2 enemies at the same time and kick them on the ground and leave them screaming while you fight the others. And another great thing is going to be if some of the soldiers that you haven't killed but are fatally wounded start to crawl on the ground trying to escape, on them you can make some finishers like on Gears of War.
Maybe you should make a fist combat system too where you don't have weapons or you just want to fight them with bare hands.

Here are some great ideas from me again:
When Geralt drinks a potion make him react to it. Like in the trailer in Witcher 1 where Geralt fights Foltest's daughter - the vampire monster(he becomes pale and his veins come out. Make that but just for 3-4 seconds it would be very nice.
Another mission: Geralt is captured by bandits(you should introduce them to the player early in the beginning of the game - just make someone tell a story about them, that they are vicious and soldiers gone rogue and are plundering whatever small village and farmhouse they can find. They should have a name for their group.) and they are torturing him like hell and beating him(this should be first person) and in the morning he barely escapes in the morning with the igni sign(gameplay), the location should be some abandoned castle or some big tower and is badly wounded and he walks really hard - everything must be gameplay and just before you escape they catch you again and the leader of the bandits orders that you are crucified and the ceremony begins, they take you out 2 bandits on your sides(because they have beaten you even more and you can't walk, but it MUST be gameplay again like you carried Aryan La Valette in the prison in Witcher 2). Make it first person here - The bandits carry you out and you don't have strength to stand up and you fall. Meanwhile every bandit is insulting, spitting and throwing stuff at you. And actually they crucify you and Geralt screams of pain and the bandits start to laugh at you and the crowd doesn't stop insulting and throwing apples and tomatoes and whatever they find. The camera is free to move so you could see the bolts that are in your arms and blood is flowing down and after 10-15 seconds of you watching the crowd you pass out. And maybe a happy dream starts and in that dream Yennefer appers(i'm gonna leave the dream to you) and after 1-2 minutes someone throws a bucket of water on you and you see Iorveth is in front of you smiling and his army of elves has killed every bandit and are chopping heads of the ones that are still alive. After that you can skip a little where you are free from the cross(10 minutes after Iorveth appears) and they put you on stretcher and start carrying you - this should be 4-5 minutes long scene(gameplay too - free camera) so you are in lied down position on the stretcher and you are able just to hear and see. It should be a beautiful day and you can see the amazing nature - put some waterfalls, birds flying and singing and the elves playing beautifully on some music instrument(this will bring out the feeling that you are certainly free and rescued now) and after 3-4 minutes of you watching the amazing nature you should fall asleep. After that black screen and text: 6 days later and you are in some elven camp...
Another thing is maybe you should fix his body, cuz he has just too many scars - there a lot of sorcerers in the world and I have read in the books that scars and wounds can heal, but that's up to you, this is not something of great importance.
It would be great if the environment is at least a little destructible so big enemies can chase you trough fields brake fences on the way, maybe trees. It would be awesome if some golem is chasing you and you jump over a fence and he just runs trough it and on the other side there is some cattle and the golem just starts pushing all the cows aside. In the books there are a lot of stories witch are happening outside of cities in farms and fields and lakes. If it's too much of a work you could do just 1-2 missions where something big is destroyed.
In combat Geralt should be able to break necks too and the sound of neck breaking is going to be awesome.
Make the inventory windowed like in Diablo 3 and the weapons, armors and every item should have nice thumbnails, I know that's a lot of work but as you have convinced me, you're making the best game possible here, that is going to set the RPG games to a new level. OK another thing is when you use some buffs on the swords like whetstone(i don't remember if it that is the correct name) or some oils make an animation where Geralt rubs it on the sword and it slightly starts to grow, not too much we wanna keep things realistic as possible.
When Geralt takes damage his health regenerates to a certain level, so you should do the health in bars, so after the fight some bars of health can't regenerate and you click meditate or make a campfire and eat something or use bandage to heal the wounds and fix the health bars.
You should make more complex traps too - tripwire with bombs and the BEST one is going to be the one that when the monsters steps in the loop of the rope some weight comes down and the monster is pulled up in the air, this should work for humans too so you could only take their belongings and knock them out and free them or you could just kill them, witch would be the preferable thing to do with the monsters or you could just leave them there and when you come back later - say 20-30 minutes after there is just one leg hanging or half of the human body - this should be random occurrence.

right....about the second part? no thanks....sounds downright horrible, forced and needlessly religious in its undertones. I honestly cannot tell if you are serious or trolling
I wish that they keep the dense political intrigue that the second had, and to a certain extent that the first had. Combat made sense because i was part of a world where actions and consequences matter. it was beautiful. I also hope that the witcher team accept the ambition that they have created with the witcher 2 plot and satisfy every decision made to a full extent, rather than brushing the consequences aside like most dragon age 1 decisions were to dragon age to.
It might seem that I am worried too much or I do not believe in CDPR. Only part of this sentence it ture - I am worried too much, but that's because I really love the Witcher games and I really want CDPR to create the best goddamn game in history and the best goddamn developer ever ( which they are, DO NOT CHANGE YOURSELVES GUYS! )
So, staying with what I said... I know I am going to repeat some people and that CDPR already stated that... Please everyone just go with it - I live being worried all the time ( which only states that I care very seriously about people and things ).
But, away with my BS'ing!
Really do focus on the story, not-generic side quests are nice - but the story is more important. I be fair, the graphics do not have to look fantastic for me ( they are still a very nice addition though ), story focus is the most important thing to me - and at this TW1 and TW2 were very good.
Apart from my general concern about story focus... I would love to see the return of old style equipment system from TW1 - and by that I mean that par example - the sword doesn't have 11-15 dmg but gives 10-20% damage bonus to you base damage based on your skill.
Do not get me wrong - I have nothing against the classic RPG style that TW2 has in this matter.
It's just the fact that to be fair what is the Witcher using at the time of a lesser concern... He would cut You in pieces with the rusty blunt cleaver - but ( return to the game reality ) would do less damage than with his Shiny Staff of Penetration +69.
That's just a minor wish really
Apart from that CDPR... JUST KICK ARSE!

Visenna: "'E's not the Messiah! 'E's a very naughty boy!" He's the Savior of Queens, not of All Mankind, and Last Temptation of Christ imagery really isn't something a lot of us would rush out and buy the game for.
If you really want a scene in which Geralt would reflect on what he is losing by dying, something like "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is more fitting for someone of Geralt's station.

No, the scene is religious in its undertones also I do not buy an immersive RPG to see my Avatar being tortured a d borderline killed in great detail for the funzies, this game is NOT about disempowerment, I sincerely hope your suggestions are not heeded
You're mistaken my friend there is noting religious besides the crucifying. And after they torture you, you will want a revenge so that is what I aim for. If you think it's too religious, maybe we can swap the crucifying with hanging witch is seen in Witcher 2.HicSuntDracones said:
I don't think anybody was mistaken. The entire scene as you describe it is religious from beginning to end. It's a straight parallel to Last Temptation of Christ. It would have to be changed substantially, say, to something like the kangaroo court scene from M, to be as you wish to present it.
Now writing as a moderator: Controversy over this proposed scene being religious needs to die on its own, so the moderators don't have to put an end to it.
