That's just it, no one is "forcing" you to do anything. You bought the game, presumably fully aware of the content it contained, given its rating. That was your choice, not GOG's or CDPRed's. You do have an option, you just chose to take the one that exposed you to the content you seem to dislike. Given that, you made the wrong choice.

What Lord do you pray to?

"I thank the Lord everyday that there are scenes of pr0n and profanity still left in 'Adult' games, amen."

Hey, the good book says make with the sexing, then pray and then get back to the sexing.

True story.

There is an awful lot of sex and people trying to get sex in there.

Good point about my use of Misogyny, I was wrong. That word is too harsh to describe most of the sexual situations in Witcher 1. HOWEVER, it doesn't take a genuis to figure out that the MAJORITY of the women in Witcher 1 (excluding the grannies) were big breasted sex fiends, while a few were actually smart and on the level with men. Misogyny though can also be implied rather than explicit, sometimes just treatment of women (sex objects) can lead to a 'hatred' of the fairer sex. Granted, individuals need to learn self-control and in most civilized countries there is a good degree of self-control amongst the masses.

I think the Witcher 1 actually did a better job of treating women than MOST games in the industry, but its still FAR from perfect and I hope Witcher 2 is a vast improvement on how women are portrayed. Actually, from viewing the one torture scene in the beginning in the Jail scene, I think it was well handled. Maybe Witcher 2 is an improvement to all the Adult areas of the game design that Witcher, in my opinion, failed on.
Can I print this out and send it to CDProjekt?!

You did miss the point but that is because i made you upset. sex scenes and profanity are not needless and pointless and they do not need to be toned down because it would change the essence of the game. Deralt would not be seen in the same light as he is now. if you had the power you would ruin everybody's fun as long as it caters to your toned down garbage method. wake up brian. this is the year 2011 so smell the coffee. If you really want toned down then move to the middle east. you really should not make assumptions within your anger rant cause you just look fuckin stupid. your not as bright as you think you are.

True. I still think my idea of having options to tone down certain elements of Adult games (like they give for graphics cards settings) would be a nice feature and would actually make the game more accessible for certain sensitive individuals such as myself :)

It speaks volumes that my idea is worth considering because of how many MODs are available in other games (Oblivion is one example) that tone down certain elements. I don't think it would be too difficult to give us gamers more options in that department.

Yes. Options are something that game designers are being more pressed to incorporate into their games these days, just read any article in Gamasutra and you are sure to find many discussions revolving around that issue. Please don't limit CDProjekt, I am sure they are very capable of creating more options for gamers.

I agree with you that doing voice-overs and trying to create a slider for that is near impossible, but surely within the age of the Internets there is some programmer genius out there who can design such a thing. I mean, there are many MODs in other games that tack on features and options a few days after the main game comes out. I suppose I need to look to the Modding community to realize the perfect game :) (power to the peeps!)

Yes, I am glad that you are being educated on cultural differences, and I hope that one day I will realize that ALL cultures embrace pornography and explicit language equally. I AM SUCH A FOOL! I need to appreciate and consume porn and explicit language rather than avoid it, I am so blind!

Oh, I didn't insult the Leisure Suit Larry originals that were made in the 80s and early 90s by Sierra, they are, as you said, classics and I have played most of them when they came out, but I was referring to the most recent one that got horrible reviews (I was joking when I said 'rave reviews' just in case you didn't get that). I should have been more specific, but I think most older gamers here knew what I was talking about.

Also, I only use my limited reserves of sarcastic wit for those who deserve it :)
You are probably correct.

HOWEVER, do you think it would have been done tastefully or over the top?

In my opinion, in the wrong developer's hands, it would probably be over the top (see Dragon Age 2!). I should probably go back to choose your own adventure books or Zork lol. Nah, I still think there is great room for AWESOME adult content games, I think Red Dead Redemption is a GREAT example.
Lol. Are these actual subtitles buried for later animal pr0n scenes in the game!?!?
Between all copious pornography DVDs I watch, I just have no time whatsoever.

Yeah, I think, for now, I'm going to substitute W1 for Drakensang: River of Time, Two Worlds 2, and some BG2. Not really knocking W1 as a high-quality RPG game goes, I guess its 'adult' content just didn't suit my tastes is all.

Heck, I might even go back to Fallout 2 :) now THERE is an adult game done right ;)
H*** no! I am avoiding DA2 like the plague because it seems like it threw out everything that made DA1 so great. Again, W1 is a great game, but it doesn't suit my tastes in the adult areas (nudity/profanity).
Yes, I am a repressed America because I like good taste. Sounds like you ate a delicious terd for you to get all bent out of shape over my comment, I guess I ruined your fun by pointing out in a very detailed way that W1's use of sex scenes and profanity was needlessly tacked on and jarring. I AM SO REPRESSED!

Of course, it's signed with your name.
Be sure to post their reply though.

Yes, its 2011 and we should INCREASE the level of ridiculously placed profanity in videogames and ENLARGE even further the breastessess!!! WE NEED TO GROW UP, ITS 2011 PEOPLEZ! WE NEED MORE PORN AND VERBAL DIARRHEA!!!

Why, boss, I feel so silly and stupid! You have opened my eyes! I have been living in the Middle East under a rock all these years!! Oh happy day! I need to smell the Hot Coffee MOD and increase the level of immature (disguised as mature and 'adult') content so that the gameplay, setting, monsters, characters, atmosphere, and story are enhanced by 8 to the fifth power! I HAVE BEEN SO BLIND!!!

My Middle Eastern brothers need to wake up and start stripping their women in the streets from head to toe so that their nakedness need not be covered up! NAKEDNESS IS AWESOMENESS! Why, I need to reveal to my repressed American Middle Eastern brothers that constant pointless profanity and cursing is beneficial to our health and souls! I DEMAND MORE BECAUSE TO BE IMMATURE IS TO BE AN ADULT!!!

Thanks boss, for opening up my eyes, sorry I ruined the game for you. :)
For all my negativity on the 'Adult' stuff in W1, I think these guys would do an absolute bang up job on a sci-fi universe RPG. I really think the guys behind W1 and 2 are really the last of the few game companies that actually care and want to make really amazing video-games. One day soon, I think video-games will be seen the way top-notch movies are viewed. We are getting close, I just hope that Role-Playing games will get there faster :)

I haven't seen the Black Swan yet, but I like the Director and yeah, he can get pretty pretentious based on his previous movies.

But I have to disagree with you Mental, I think that if they would have toned down the Witcher 1's profanity, and made less ado about the sex scenes, it wouldn't have ruined the experience. I mean, just the atmosphere alone grabbed me from the beginning. The way the sound effects and music affects the storyline eliminates was fantastic. But then, all of a sudden, the Witcher blurts out a stupid curse word and then, for me, that broke the immersion because I thought I was playing a fantasy RPG and not GTA: Fantasy Edition. I mean, yeah, dwarves, elves, and gnomes can curse all they want to, but damn, be creative about it. Again, I thought the way Battlestar Galactica used the word 'Frak' was pretty ingenius. It was a subsitute yeah, but at least it fit the universe and didn't pull you out of the setting. To me, it would be like going to a Ren Fair and all of a sudden everyone is talking gangsta style.

The atmosphere, creatures, setting, graphics, etc, were perfect. Not so much for the way they handled combat and the adult themes. Maybe W2 fixed both those.

A well placed 'Damnit' is infinitely better than a badly placed overused 'F' word anytime.
That is true, I did make the wrong choice in hindsight, but learning from mistakes is a part of life.

Also, what I meant by 'forced' is that, when you are in the game, you have to listen to the profanity (unless you press escape and then miss all the story). With the sex scenes you have options, you don't HAVE to sleep with anyone, at least not in the parts that I played. Its not that I hate sex, its just that I felt it was tacky and pointless (in Fable it makes more sense to me). But at least I could chose, within the game, not to bed every girl (although those grannies looked pretty hot!!!).

That is true, but there is also context along with those 'sex scenes.' I don't like the fact that one of my Biblical heroes, David, killed a guy (Uriah) so he could get in the sack with his wife (Bathsheba), but its a reality that wasn't glossed over and David paid for that sin BIG TIME.

Sex is amazingly awesome in the right context, in my opinion (but also in the Bible's opinion too). I'm not going to go all religious on you, but according to the Bible evil and messed up mankind screwed up the ideal situation and context for how sex should be for humans-at least from God's point of view. That's a whole nuther can of worms that I could open, but I digress. I am conservative in my view of sex, yes, but that doesn't mean I hate it. I have my standards and limits, but I am no hard-core puritan. Dude, I could go on and on about the amazing sex I have with my wife, but that would be way too personal and would venture into Witcher 1 territory ;)

Yes, it would have. Just not for you.

I would argue that it was ruined for the people who bought the game because it was based on the Witcher books, which do contain that amount of swearing and nudity.

Just because a lot of other developers, writers and movie producers use a kinder, gentler world does not mean that it is appropriate for this game, and you came in expecting the wrong version because you knew nothing about the source material.

A fantasy world is not every fantasy world,
