Sex isn’t necessary in The Witcher 3 – you can go through the whole game without putting your beef in any tacos. However, for those who wish to explore some simulated coitus, there are a bunch of options for Geralt. Unfortunately, his sword dexterity doesn’t necessarily translate to the bedroom.
I don’t normally like to use videos from other sites – I like our own content. However, this video from Eurogamer’s Aoife Wilson is far too hilarious not to share with you all:
You know, it’s one thing to show virtual couples falling into a sexual rut – they know what works and looped footage falls into a “rinse and repeat” cycle of love making. But here, Geralt is paying good money to sleep with a variety of prostitutes, and he does the same thing every time? Is this all he knows how to do? Leg grab, butt pat, some pumping action leading to a fake orgasm, over and over again? Come on Geralt, I thought you were better than this, especially considering the 16 hours of motion capture CD Projekt Red did for all the sex scenes.
While I haven’t gotten to see the sex scenes for myself, based on what this video shows, it seems Dragon Age: Inquisition did a far better job of creating varied and interesting displays of intimacy. I know that the sexual component wasn’t a big part of the Witcher gameplay experience, but this doesn’t send a very good message. I’m glad to see female pleasure highlighted, but it would be even better if couples were shown talking, laughing and enjoying themselves during a range of sexual encounters without just resorting to simpering noises during rote coitus. I’m not sure what this says more about, the developer’s own views of sexuality, or their judgement about what would be deemed acceptable and appealing by their audience. Either way, my crush on Geralt is dissipating, especially considering those nasty boxers.

While I have a soft spot for her, in this instance, I believe the BOTH.GIF is the correct answer

Having a “soft spot” for Triss means you like Yennefer more. ;P

Yenifer comes across as a selfish nympho who loves unicorns. Triss cares more and looks super hot in that fox mask.

if you havent read the books, then triss is the obvious choice. no doubt.
oVg
June 9, 2015 at 14:23
she admits to Gerelt that she used him when he lost his memory, at least she is honest… but I have not read the books, but there soes seem something a bit off with Yen.
Matthew Holliday
June 9, 2015 at 14:39
never really considered it being used, but withholding certain information for personal gain was pretty sly.
sly and sneaky is a good description of triss, theres alot that she doesnt explain or just never mentions.
pretty typical of always playing second fiddle to yenn.
yeneffer though, is in love with the game, the chase, she wants to be wanted. she plays the game, extends the chase and pushes geralt right to the point of him saying “nope, im out” then backs off.
even if her feelings for geralt are more legit than Triss’
she was a hunchback befor magic surgery, or something, so pretty typical insecurities.

June 9, 2015 at 14:44
lol Gerelt acts like a lost puppy when he is around her. Not sure if he has a thing for Dominant witches or just loves Unicorns ;P

triss is the most tempting, since you can romance her from much earlier in the game.
ive gone for canon Geralt and playing the long game, waiting for my bae yeneffer to make herself available.

She was not in 2, she dispersers at the beginning of 2 with Ciri after a farm boy kills Gerelt with a pitch fork. So its all new to me as well.

That story cut scene was in the extras menu for the new comers. Very important as it explains what the wild hunt is and what happened at the end of 1 before Gerelt becomes a horny bugger 😛

I know about the pitchfork incident. But since Yennefer is depicted as a cartoon style (Very mature cartoon style) person, I cannot make comment yet

Is there a reason why Gerald names all horses Roach? Does it have something to do with the man who tortured him in 2? Vernon Roach?

With that much Eastern European lore it explains why there are no Africans in the game. Are there Africans in Vikings? Getting sick of these racist articles of The Witcher 3.

Well I haven’t encountered any of the sex scenes, but if I had encountered one with Keira Metz I might say it could potentially be surprisingly tasteful, not particularly explicit & maybe what happens in the afterglow is pretty damn awesome. Hypothetically speaking.

Right, I understand.
I think I need to change my active quest to go visit her and determine the validity of the hypothetical situation so colourfully described by a fine individual with peculiar meat tastes
(every time I pick up a ‘rotten meat’, I think of you)
Blood Emperor Trevor

All the sex scenes consist of the stock stuff and then the afterglow part, i.e. you always get the leg over, bum view and then the back-arching fakorgasm, followed by the afterglow (which is where the 16 hours of motion capture went)…. or so I hear… apparently….

Well… to be honest, Geralt IS stripped from emotion pretty much. In reality Geralt would probably be the most boring guy ever and the only people who would hook up with him would be prostitutes.

No, what I meant was that without emotion everyone would be boring lol 🙂 and perhaps you wouldn’t even feel the need to have sex or the need to help people.
Captain JJ the_scarrrr
June 11, 2015 at 07:49
That’s true.
Kevin
June 11, 2015 at 11:08
What I don’t know however, if Geralt is stripped for emotion entirely or just has very little emotion. There are quests in which Geralt says he’s ‘mad’, ‘frustrated’, ‘angry’ , which are all emotions. Obviously if he really has no emotion you couldn’t really create a game around him.

I’d better say Geralt is the only one to not taking action in W3. I’m 16
hours in game but still no ‘action’. I had like 5-10 cards in Witcher 1
at 16th hour.

My Geralt was true to Yennifer the entire way through…has never been to the Passiflora, outside of talking to Dijkstra there.
[Minor spoilers. Not plot related, though]
…I’ve even resisted Keira’s influence, even though Triss accuses Geralt of otherwise, when, in a later scene Geralt asks Triss, “Hear anything from Keira?” and Triss replies back with “Why, I thought you of all people would know the answer to that, Geralt…” and it breaks into a cutscene with Geralt expressing how it is hard to resist a sorceress. I felt appalled at both, Triss’ comment and that cutscene. My Geralt only has eyes for Yennifer lol.
