It definitely feels as though a lot of men who play this game are only interested in a sex simulator. It's not really in-character for Geralt to be having endless sex escapades. either.
Speaking of sex with monsters, it's already in the main game: you can undeniably have sex with Yennefer.
And what even if it does displease him? Why he must be happy about it? Not everyone views the world as you do.
No it doesn't. Geralt can be in a relation with Triss since Witcher 1 and still sleep around.
Additionaly no one is trying to force a romance on you. Every romance or sexual encounter was completely optional. I don't care how you play your Geralt, that's why I would appreciate if you don't tell me what kind of person my Geralt has to be. Especially if your Geralt isn't backed up by the books or games.
It wouldn't be that tiresome to discuss with you if it just was your permanent exaggeration, but what makes it really annoying is your way to put things in other people's mouth they never said.
Where did I equate the Witcher 3 games to Geralt's sexlife?
Where did I write that the 30 hours of content was nothing because there was only one sex scene?
Do you assume this because I'm dicussing about sexual partners in a thread about Geralt's sexual partners?
There would have been enough opportunities if CDP decided to.
Writing a sidequest similar to the one with Sasha or Jutta really wouldn't be that difficult.
As for a (bigger) Keira/Shani like romance. Vivienne could have been a possibility or even the dutchess. Dandelion found the love of his life and I'm sure whe wouldn't mind.
You know, before the addon came out I wrote in some other thread that I'm hoping that there would be one Shani/Keira romance and one Jutta/Sasha one-night stand.
But I guess two women wanting to sleep with Geralt and he with them would be also "unrealistic" and the game would turn into a porn according to you? (just showing you to how annoying it is to deal with your exaggerations)
I never romanced Yennefer, so I don't know about what family you talking about. Geralt and Ciri's relation has nothing to do with his sex life and Ciri is old an wise enough to not meddle in it .In general you whole point of trying to explain Geralt's with his relation with Triss or Yen (or even Ciri now) is pointless as the fact of being in a realtion didn't bother Geralt too much in the previous games or in Witcher 3.He can still sleep with Keira, Jutta, Sasha,Shani, prostitutes and even Triss while being in a relation with Yennefer. Furthermore there are people who didn't romance either of them, but you seem to avoid this topic and refuse to give an explanation on why Geralt should be abstinent under this specific circumstances.

Isn't this basically the average newfan of the game series? :teeth:
If we wanna talk book canon (REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE) I'd like to point out while Geralt was looking for Ciri he went three whole books without putting his peepee in anybody. Until he met Fringilla Vigo and he sorta broke down. How does this apply to the circumstances of the games/out of context expansion? It speaks to his character -- lorefully, he ought to have remained somewhat abstinent for at least some section of the game after he'd recovered his memory as well. But he doesn't necessarily - you have those options available to you, you can play as abstinent or as not. The fact there 'aren't as many partners as you'd have expected after the Witcher 1' kinda sounds unrealistic and greedy to me. THIS is where I begin to question 'do you want a sex simulator or a fully fledged RPG'? It's a huge game with so many facets and features. I am personally ok with the promiscuity of Geralt being put on the backburner.
If we wanna talk technicality with CDPR, and as someone who's spoken to the devs in person regarding this issue, it's actually got a lot to do with the ratings and categorisation of the game. They already defined and rated the game as having a specific degree of content, so when you go to release more content -- you can't just add as much more as yourself and other participants of this thread are pining for. It just gets too complicated for what it's worth.
As an unrelated question - what do you think is the optimum number of sexual partners for Geralt to possibly have had in the game? Without breaking his character -- someone once answered this question with him sleeping with the Crones etc.
And isn't an exaggeration as well since you have more than that in base game, and exactly that in HoS? While you can't like it isn't the same in BaW, why should it be such a catastrophic point?
I am sorry if I struck a nerve or something:
Exactly my point at the beginning, I said it's your prerogative, but by CDPR shoehorning in sexual encounters with characters that you have minimal contract, with a lore history or simply no reason to be having sex - There are no characters worth adding encounters with and Anna Henrietta has no interest in Geralt It'd be forced and poorly written and wouldn't make sense in their relationship - Vivienne has an entire plot line where she wants to be able to choose who she wants and has no interest and at first a lot of aversion towards Geralt.
Not at all as long as it was put in context and not simply dropped in for players to get their sex-fix - On Thanedd Sabrina and Marti were openly thinking of doing so to annoy Yen but just dropping two female characters into the game for a scene like that makes little sense and is again lazy and feels shoehorned.
Well other than being the driving force behind the entire Witcher series. Triss and Ciri are like sisters so in a way it's still like a family.
So you have a multitude of sexual partners in the base game, you have the ability to visit brothels at any point but you still persist that more and more are needed jeopardsing the integrity of the plot for meaningless sex, it's kinda misogynistic even though the Witcher series has some of the strongest female characters in fiction.

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly.
This is not about the base game or Hearts of Stone but Blood&Wine.("There are sooo few sexual partners in B&W") and not including another romance(and even if you view Syanna as a romance, it's only available on one of the two paths), despite adding 30+ hours of new content is indeed something I criticize. Especially because they advertized and most people probably expected it. It doesn't break the expansion for me.. It's still awesome and I like it a bit better than Hearts of Stone, but it made it a bit worse and therefore I'm expressing my disappointment towards CDP, because that's what forums are for, aren't they?
Well, you understood my post so I repeat to make it even more clear, I just say that since you can have that in the base game I don't see the absence of it in Blood and Wine as something that ruins the mood, so nothing worse to complain about. Considering that for the game reasons in BaW, both ways are possible, having a new romance or not.
Complain, forums are also for this (but often people wake up just to criticize and for waifu wars).
You mean like with Vea, Essi, Shani, Mosaic or even Iola? People Geralt barely knew and still slept with?
That actually sounds like Geralt to me and more importantly it sounds like something that would happen in the Witcher world written by Sapkowski and not in the 21st century fantasy world you seem to prefer to let the Witcher games take place in.
They have no interest in Geralt because CDP decided them to write in a way that they have no interest. There isn't anything from the lore which would prevent them from writing a completely different relation between Geralt and Anna or Geralt and Vivienne. I also don't see how- if written well- it would take anything away from them. And aside from them, Toussaint is huge. There surely would have been possibilites to write sidequests, which include a romance and wouldn't have any effect on the main storyline to make it any worse. Keira's romance was also mostly a sidequest.
The family from the books doesn't play any role in Witcher 3, even if you romanced Yennefer.
Nice use of buzzwords. But at least I know now where you are coming from.
Btw,was Syanna who slept with Geralt for the sole reason to use him later (she tells you that if you choose the "wrong" dialogue at the end") also misandrist and if that's the case why don't you have a problem with it?
Can you imagine the fanboy tears if Geralt hadn't been able to sleep with anyone until he found Ciri in the game? I feel like these people would be reading the books and angrily demanding to know why Geralt hadn't had sex with every woman that existed in a 5 mile radius around him.
People.
Always came to this forum just to harvest some quality memes without even a little urge to register and spam about waifus, that's my own geralt and hismy choices and another *amusing* stuff. But know I really kinda shocked to see what's going on.
The Witcher community for years was a stronghold of sanity and interesting and pleasurable conversations.
This thread and the one below are the proofs that the current audience is moving this community in the wrong direction.
CDPR gave you 4 nice (well, at least several of them) endings about Geralt's future. They've finished it very fine.
Doesn't mean that everyone should love it but complaining Why I can not go to bedroom and bang my beloved Triss is like to complain about any piece of writing with romantic end Why you [insert any author's name] finished it like this with typical happily ever after and didn't write how he puts his penis into her vagina one more time". That's just ridiculous.
Same goes to "NOT ENOUGH SEX OBJECTS". Cut that crap about choices and variety, there is nothing about it. There are only absolutely pointless complains about nothing. It's even worse than unstoppable claims remove dat f o r c e d k i s s i n K M!!! and Why she doesn't call her mother like she did before in the books?
There were enough objective shortcomings in the game and we all had nice debates about it but no reason to invent the new. Especially like this. Out of nothing.

Actually it's not possible to have a "romance" if you choose the unseen path. (which was my canon path) Furthermore I still have problems to call it a romance. Imo the expansion does not have any romances. Yet they advertised and still advertise it that way.
This. All of it.
It was my first choice as well, prolly canon one. I just don't see a problem in that. Instead of having a criticism over
"why 3 days have just passed during only one cutscene and it's night of the fangs already"
The product they are selling does contain 1 romance. Now, I won't defend the quality of its writing, but it doesn't change the very simple fact that it exists in the expansion they are advertising. It's up to you and your decisions whether you are going to see it or not (like those "romances" in Act 2 of TW2).

Our definition of "romance" obviously differs, yet the fact remains that choosing one of the two equal paths do not give the possibility to "romance" anybody.And I assume that most people won't play the expansion twice. The comparison with Witcher 2 isn't that valid imo, as even if we dismiss Triss, there is at least one "romance" on either path, so everybody get's at least the opportunity during one playthrough.

Other than the fact that all of those apart from Vea ended in misery for Geralt, all of those were experiences with regret, sadness and emotional injury means nothing, eh?
Especially Essi, who is the only one you listed that was something real and that ended in the most depressing of all, but in the games the Witcher has sex with the Queen of Redania and nothing happens?? Hmm.. No wonder they toned it down.
As they should have, and yes - There are lore reasons for the friendship (and only friendship) between Annarietta and Geralt it's plain and simple, she's a widowed duchess and he is a Witcher they have no reason to and Vivienne has no reason at all especially with her narrative arch or wanting to choose herself just 180'ing would completely ruin that storyline.
It's the very definition - Serving a narrative cause akin to Renfri rather than being a throw away scene like Keira? Shameful.
As for this transition it's made from being a thread about 'Why can't I have sex with Anna Henrietta' to 'There is no romance, false advertising' that was nothing to do with the OP and is a very thin defence of blatantly complaining there are not enough sex dolls in the expansion, please stop.
Witcher 3's base 'Romances' were fine, the scenes were for the most part tasteful and most fit within the context of the story and I am glad they are optional much better than the crappy 'romances' of Mass Effect etc. But the game need not be over-saturated with promiscuity when this is the end of the White Wolf saga and in my playthrough after dying together in the books I thought it had a very nice ending with the arrival of Yen - If you chose to stay with Triss I am sure that's nice too but moaning about the lack of a "whoopee for the last time!" is just silly. Look at the OP again and say you agree with this and that it isn't pandering for sex-doll style 'romance':
