    It’s like this in the books as well, it almost feels like a harem anime at times. Women just throw themselves at him.

      I think you underestimate the attraction of somebody who is proven to be infertile and immune to all STDs in the middle ages. Its basically a completely risk free one night stand.

      My favourite part of the books is how everyone thinks and assumes Geralt is an emotionless mutant, and he plays up that image. meanwhile he’s the most capricious, emotional child when he’s upset or hurt lol

        Imagine what a drama queen he would be without the Witcher mutations. No wonder his mother gave him away.

      I feel like way too many “slice of life” games do this that it might as well be a trope. Everyone wants to bang the protagonist.

    I don’t like the Witcher because I want to be faithful to Triss, but as soon as Yennefer shows up, all my player choices are disregarded. 5/10, will not play again.

    What’s the context behind the original image? Is the girl in the car holding a handful of pet food!? Why is she so anguished? Why is the other girl pressing her tits against the window?

      This is photoshopped from 2 different pictures. If I recall properly the woman on the right is sacred by an animal entering its head into the car to get food (I don’t remember the specifics animal, maybe a giraffe?).

      There are a lot of beautiful women in Geralt’s orbit, but in my playthrough, I started off romancing Yennifer, but then Triss comes around, sparks fly, and I decided to see if I could be with both of them, seems like something they’d be into. Well, everything is going well, it seems like we might be about to consummate our thruple, things start getting real steamy, and then BOOM, they were just fucking with you, but won’t fuck you. You have to choose. It was such a hilarious and well-executed bait and switch. Though that was just my playthrough.

      In addition to what the others commented, most (all?) of the attractive female lead characters are wearing the MOST RIDICULOUS tops ever. For some reason, women in the world of the witcher prefer shirts that are unbuttoned just in the boob region, or have a DEEP V-cut in them, or are just totally unbuttoned.

      Don’t get me wrong, I love boobies as much as the next guy, but so many of the outfits just look impractical - especially for martial characters.

      Clearly the work of some seriously thirsty devs.

      Geralt is a magically inclined mutant which is particularly attractive to the other witches as they are 90+ years old as is Geralt so plain human partners are barely more than plaything to them
