Sogi-Ya: [...]

Sogi-Ya: I know there is already a conversation about this topic, and if I wanted to discuss it I would post in it, but I don't want to: everyone is free to their own opinion.

my personal opinion is that I find the card collecting tasteless and the only caveat in the entire game, it's completely pointless from a game play perspective ...

If it were possible I would like to simply take the card collecting element out of the game (it does have a game editor after all) but I have a funny feeling that is too much to ask for, so instead I simply want to know if there is a way to replace the current cards with the "cleaned up" versions for the censored version.

for the record I actually like the "get her to sleep with you" mini-games, it brings a level of maturity (and I do mean "mature," not "hee hee, boobies" style of mature) to the game that is lacking in all the other RPGs out there. when the most every offering has got a main character that is either (A) a teenager filled with sexual angst (B) celibate like a monk or (C) Abstinent until marriage, it's like a breath of fresh air to have a main that is willing to partake of the fairer sex and really fleshes out the game world.

now if only I could follow through with that part of the story without feeling like a creepy old guy who sits in the back of a strip club drinking Lemon-aid each time one of those cards pops up.

so back to the point, if I can't cut out the card parts while retaining the elements that lead up to said cards: can I at least swap in the "clean" versions of the cards that don't feature topless artwork?

I'm married ... if I wanted to look at a pair of tits I'd ask my wife to take off her top, not spend a half hour tracking down pretty baubles in a video game.

cjrgreen: I know it's hard because they're front and center, but concentrating on the boobies just falsifies the purpose of the cards.

Each card has something to say about the character of the woman Geralt received it from, or at least about the time and place of their tryst.

The actual message of the card, not the boobies you're getting hung up on, is intentionally part of the game. Sometimes it's as subtle as a broken string of pearls.

Thiev: I guess you could 'censor' the game back following the instructions given here. I didn't test that myself, though.

Sogi-Ya: all that those files change is the artwork in the cards that pops up when you click in the heart icon in the characters section, when you actually get the cards it seems like the card that pops up is actually hard coded into the related cut scene because it's still the topless version despite the card art being physically replaced.

Export: Why is a naked human body "tasteless" but slicing up people with a huge sword so that blood gushes out and stains the grass apparently "tasteful"? Oh America, never change!
